[1][2][3] When the Korean War started, the CIA was tasked with establishing an escape and evasion route through North Korea for downed UN aviators to use.

[3] In Korea, Major Kramer recruited six men who had served with special operations and paramilitary groups during World War II.

Kramer and the North Koreans soon moved to Pusan to conduct additional training, and the force of guerillas grew to several hundred men.

[3] With his guerilla force out of commission, Major Kramer began to focus on cutting enemy railroads which were supplying naval mines to the harbors of Wonsan and Hungnam.

These missions were carried out by UDT personnel who were inserted on the coastline and moved through enemy territory to plant explosives on bridges and tunnels.

[1][2] Upon his military retirement, Kramer moved to the Basking Ridge section of Bernards Township, New Jersey, and became the Executive Secretary & Director of the Rutgers Alumni Association, a position he held until 1987.
