AMSUM (General): Development of the AMSUM Group began in May 1962 with the arrival in U.S. of AMSUM-2, whose debriefing disclosed the existence of a naval resistance group associated with UR in Cuba. Further details on this group were learned in debriefing AMSUM-1/Juan Castellvi. The naval resistance group was depicted as a largely passive element which devoted itself to intelligence collection and indoctrination of its members against communism (see Attachment A, Part III)...The general objectives of JMWAVE in attempting to develop an intelligence net based on exploitation of the UR naval resistance group are: 1. Establish a KUTUBE collection mechanism within the naval resistance group. 2.
