Boy Howdy Posted July 28, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2021 Does anyone have any information about this "Commission"? I cannot find any information about it on the web. The lighter has a 1960 date code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted July 30, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2021 There were a series of Military Commissions established by the US armed forces for direct military assistance to Latin America through the Mutual Security Act of 1951. They were staffed by US Naval, Air & Ground officers assigned to duty with their South American counterparts (Brazil, Colombia, Chile, etc.) throughout the 1950's and into the early 1970's.
