According to Record Group 226 at the National Archive over 45 United States Coast Guard men were attached to the Office of Strategic Services Maritime Unit Operational Swimmer Groups (OSG). All OSG''s had Coast Guard men and several CG men were attached to UDT 10 in the Pacific after training with the OSS MU. LT John P. Booth (USCG) was Commanding Officer in the field of OSG 1 and was attached to OSS Detachment 101 and OSS Detachment 404 in the China Burma India war area where he and his team conducted reconnaissance, infiltration by sea, scouted enemy shoreline and participated in combat swimmer and covert operations. These OSS Frogmen pioneered the use of unassisted diving techniques to include the Lambertsen Unit (allowing men to swim underwater for up to 3 hours), swimfins and the underwater compass. These men also experimented with underwater delivery systems referred to as the "Sleeping Beauty." Several of these Coast Guard/OSS Frogmen, to include LT Booth, were awarded the Bronze Star for their "service with the Office of Strategic Services" by the Commanding General CBI.
