CHAPTER 3
Conduct of Operations
83. When determining the moment to conduct a secret operation, consideration must be
given to the location of the objective, the conditions of approach and the time required for
withdrawal when the operation is completed. Furthermore, advantage must be taken of the
weakest spots in the enemy's guard.
% The means to be used for exterminating the enemy's man power during a secret attack
operation are chemicals, bacteria, or clockwork explosives. Materiel is to be destroyed,
depending on its nature, by explosions with the aid of clockwork explosives, incendiarism, or
other means of destruction. It is also recommended, either simultaneously with these
operations, or separately, skilfully to utilize sabotage propaganda with the object of breaking
down the morale of the enemy's men. When the operation is completed, it is better not to
leave any traces capable of showing that the operation was conducted by our sabotage unit. If
this is impossible, efforts must be made to achieve the utmost results in the very first
operation.
