THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY declassified in 2008 a World War ll-era document on sabotage. The "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" was written and distributed by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in 1944 to pro-Allied workers in Nazi-occupied territory to suggest ways to disrupt the Nazi war machine. The manual covers sabotage in many forms, from malicious destruction at a factory to the unnecessary bureaucratization of simple tasks. Among other things, it highlights basic actions anyone can perform to undermine an organization from within. Over time, much of the booklet's advice appears to have found its way into the Marine Corps' administrative processes.
