OSS West Coast Schools & Training
According to declassifed OSS Rosters from the "WA" Training Facility (West Coast
Schools and Tarining WCTC), Coast Guard Lieutenant Commander Howard Shelby was
Commanding Officer of Boats and Crews for the OSS.  LCDR Shelby and approximately
50 other Coast Guard men worked hand in hand with the Army, Navy, and Marine
Corps at the WCTC Facility's for Maritime Unit training.  This model is essentially the
first "joint training" operation during the War.
