==Military Career== In 1944, Conein parachuted into Nazi-occupied France as part of the Jedburghs, a multinational OSS and British Special Operations Executive unit, to aid the French Resistance during the Normandy landings. He worked closely with the Corsican Brotherhood, a mafia group allied with the Resistance, later describing their global reach and patient approach to revenge. In 1945, he was sent to French Indochina, leading a commando team of American, French, and Chinese personnel to gather intelligence and attack Japanese garrisons in Lang-Son and Bong-Xom. His reconnaissance and leadership in these operations earned him the Bronze Star Medal and the Legion of Honor for negotiating the release of French internees in Hanoi. After World War II, Conein joined the CIA upon its formation in 1947.
