Photocopy of declassified correspondence concerning the enlistment of Navajo tribal members for service with the Marine Corps during World War II. Documents include memorandiums and correspondence from Philip Johnston and military personnel outlining the program's potential benefits and Johnston's qualifications as a participant. The program was designed to use the Navajo language as a code lexicon between combat units in the South Pacific. This program received no publicity during the war. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The Navajo Code Talkers Collection (1919-1976, with bulk dates of 1942-1945) documents the development and implementation of the highly successful Navajo Code Talkers program used in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The collection also records Philip Johnston involvement in the development and implementation of this crucial program. Philip Johnston is credited with having conceived the idea of using Native Americans speaking their native language as the foundation for a cryptographic code that could be used to quickly and confidently transmit confidential and sensitive information. The code was never broken by the Japanese and has been attributed with being an integral part of the Allies success in the South Pacific.
