Interessant technisch voorschrift voor de ''Special Service Officer''. Dus de officer die de leiding had over soldatenvermaak, het verbeteren van het moreel, dus over sport in het amerikaanse leger, films, clubs, maar ook andere dingen zoals de gevaren van prostitutie voor amerikaane soldaten, noem maar op. Met een grote uitvouwbare kaart achterin.

Special Services was the entertainment branch of the American military. The unit was created on 22 July 1940 by the War Department as part of the Army Service Forces.[1] Special Services not only used its own specially trained and talented troops but also would often engage local performers.[2] Among its activities were staging plays and stage acts, holding concerts, filming documentaries, and providing recreational opportunities for servicemen.
Special Services were one of the few U.S. Army units to be racially integrated during World War II. Special Services opened their first Recreational Officer school at Fort Meade Maryland on 1 April 1942.[3]
Within the United States Marine Corps, the Special Services Division was the forerunner of today's Special Services Branch. It was formed on 1 March 1943, to provide morale maintaining recreational and informational services to Marine Corps personnel.[4][5] As of at least 2004, the Special Services Branch was still active within the USMC.[6]
