Gis Gone Wrong Get Straightened Out At Progressive Prison in Africa
A North African Army Disciplinary Training Center detains GIs who erred, emphasizing rehabilitation over punishment. Prisoners endure 12 hours daily of drills and hard labor, with strict discipline and limited privileges. Clemency boards grant eventual return to duty for suitable inmates. Only one repeat offense case is noted among seven inmates who earned early release back to combat.

The mission, part of a 57 day campaign with 43 sorties, carried little enemy opposition and light flak, fueling theories about rocket guns or Atlantic coast fortifications while the airmen embraced the secrecy and danger of the unknown targets.
