Alamo Scouts

The Alamo Scouts (U.S. 6th Army Special Reconnaissance Unit) was a reconnaissance unit of the Sixth United States Army in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. The unit is best known for its role in liberating American prisoners of war (POWs) from the Japanese Cabanatuan POW camp near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Philippines in January 1945.
==Origins==
The Scouts were organized on Fergusson Island, New Guinea, on 28 November 1943. Their purpose was to conduct reconnaissance and raider work in the Southwest Pacific Theater. The scouts often operated deep behind Japanese lines. They were under the personal command of Lieutenant General Walter Krueger, Commanding General of the U.S. Sixth Army. General Krueger wanted a unit that could provide timely vital intelligence on the enemy's troop numbers, unit types, and locations to the Sixth Army. General Krueger had previously received faulty intelligence reports from other sources outside of Sixth Army.
Krueger sought to create an all volunteer elite unit consisting of small teams which could operate deep behind enemy lines. Their primary mission was to gather intelligence for the Sixth U.S. Army. The unit was so named because of Krueger's association with San Antonio, Texas and because of his admiration for the defenders of the Alamo.The name Alamo Scouts came from MacArthur's creation of a separate command structure called Alamo Force. This force was a shadow command structure of 6th Army and was created to avoid placing that Army under the command of Australian General George Blamey. While he was Allied Ground Force Commander in New Guinea and in nominal command of all allied ground forces. Alamo Force answered directly to MacArthur through Krueger, bypassing Blamey. The Scouts were part of the Table of Organization & Equipment (TO & E)〔Table of organization and equipment〕 of both 6th Army and Alamo Force.
