Activated on 22 April 1942 under the command of Colonel Carl F. Eifler, Detachment 101 was the first Special Operations (SO) unit formed by the Coordinator of Information (COI), the predecessor to the OSS. Detachment 101’s operations supported a combined operations campaign that earned the unit the reputation as “the most effective tactical combat force in OSS.” For its distinguished contributions to the war in the Far East, Detachment 101 was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.
