Thomas George Fosmire (31 August 1930, Milwaukee – 4 November 2007, Florence)[1] joined the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Operations Group of Special Activities Division as a Paramilitary Officer in the 1950s and was given responsibility (along with Tony Poe) in training Tibetan tribesmen to fight against the Chinese Communists in the early part of his career.
The training occurred first at a base on Saipan in the Marianas islands but was later moved to a colder mountainous climate at Camp Hale, Colorado.
After the Tibetan operation concluded, Fosmire landed with Tony Poe in Sumatra, Indonesia to supply and train mutinous forces there in an effort by the Eisenhower administration to destabilize the non-aligned regime of Sukarno.
In the 1980s, Fosmire served in El Salvador and Honduras, training Nicaraguan rebel troops opposed to the Sandanista government.
