104-10102-10237: OPERATIONAL PROJECT REVIEW

AMTRUNK-2 was allied with student elements of the Partido Autentico prior to Fidel's ascension to power. He was active in the anti-Castro underground in Cuba from 1959 until his defection in 1962. He did not consider himself an ally of the CIA, but was cooperative during his training. The plan for Phase 1 of AMTRUNK was "the black infiltration of AMTRUNK/2 and 3 on the north coast of Havana province...Phase 2, involving AMICE-27 and AMICE-14, will consist of black infiltration through the keys area on the north coast of Mantanzas...Phase 1 and Phase 2 are preliminary infiltrations designed to set up infiltration/exfiltration routes and to make initial contacts among certain select high level military figures in Havana."
