DISPATCH CLASSIFICATION PROCESSING ACTION TO Chief, Western Hemisphere Division X INFO ONLY QUALIFIED DEAR CAN JUDGE INDEXING FROM Chief of Station, JMWAVE SUBJECT TYPIC/AMBUD/Operational AMTRIGON-8 (201-283995), AMBUD Case #97 ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCE: UFGW-7040, 29 April 1968 1. AMTRIGON-8 was a member of the VILLARO crew. During May 1962 he clandestinely and without authorization boarded an infiltration craft moments before its departure on an operational mission. His absence was not discovered until the team had infiltrated and moved into its first position. 2. On 8 or 9 June 1962 the infiltration team, including AMTRIGON-8, became engaged in a firefight with a militia patrol. AMTRIGON-2, the team leader, reported that AMTRIGON-8 had been wounded and that he assumed AMTRIGON-8 was killed or perhaps captured. However, no further word has been heard from AMTRIGON-8 and he is presumed to be dead. 3. Taking into consideration that the disposition of this case could have an affect on the morale of the other crew members and their attitude toward WOFIRM, it was decided to advise the widow of AMTRIGON-8 that he died a hero's death while fighting for the liberation of his country and to continue monthly payments to the widow and children for an indefinite period. Inclusion of Subject's name on AMBUD Hero & Martyr rolls was deemed to be the most suitable and expeditious manner in which to handle such payments. 4. The response to paragraph 2 of reference will be the subject of a separate dispatch. Distribution: 3 - WH/COG
