Where were they stationed in Japan? What were their main responsibilities?
While many joined the Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) in Tokyo, others were scattered in different cities throughout Japan. MIS members were involved in every aspect of the Occupation, including providing assistance during the war crimes trials, conducting liaison work with the Japanese government, and processing Japanese repatriates from places such as Siberia and China. Some others also became involved in civil affairs, military government activities, disarmament, and other intelligence work (for example, with the Counter Intelligence Corps or Civil Censorship Detachment). While most remained on active status, others separated from the Army but continued to work in Occupied Japan in civilian roles.
