Robert Reynolds headed JMASH documented
“That didn't really matter because he was still responsible. On the other hand, Hunt actually visited Havana that summer where the headquarters-bound droller couldn't go. The search for a surrogate Cuban political movement centered in Miami.…”

Robert Reynolds operated_from Apalachee, Florida documented

Robert Reynolds member_of JMASH documented
“Reynolds got no photo intelligence because no one in JM Ash had the necessary clearances. Now, keep in mind, in our other project we're working on on the U2, they're flying the hell out of Cuba. They're flying there daily. They're doing zig…”

▶ 9:47 The base masqueraded as a Coral Gables branch of a New York headhunter firm with a Pentagon contract. So we've got an HR company that's a proprietary of the CIA being funded by the Pentagon, not the CIA, that is being led by the CIA. Reynol…

▶ 10:19 between hunt and droller. An 11-year agency veteran, Reynolds had served in Mexico, Argentina, spoke fluent Spanish, and headed the Cuba branch of the D.O. Western Hemisphere when Castro had taken power. He knew Esterling from his OSS days.…

▶ 10:48 a nexus that united many people on this project. Among the first people selected for the WH4 task force, Reynolds had another headache besides the Hunt-Droller conflict, a second-in-command who outranked him. But Bob had been Esterling's or…

▶ 20:22 Written on November 19, 1960. OPSEC blown. The Miami base had other problems too. Bob Reynolds received his basic instructions in early October. Supposed to personally supervise any project activity in the area and draw on any CIA facility …
The Colonel’s Corner Safe for Democracy Part 20 (21)
▶ 23:01 To backstop the Cuban task force was unacceptable to the people in Miami. Personnel at the Miami base were fewer than needed even to cope with the jobs that it had. Reynolds got his first paramilitary expert in June and a second one later t…

▶ 28:26 At the end of the day, it's a photo. Nope, you don't have to tell them where it came from. We have satellites up there too. Could have just been a satellite. Nope, no photos. Two of his maritime specialists were overwhelmed with the boats a…

▶ 28:58 operational action authority. Several months later, the base would welcome more precise requirements for its agents in the interest of making more efficient use of them. In his eventual end of mission report, the Miami chief observed that t…

▶ 27:53 Huh. Bob Reynolds left temporarily, replaced by Robert Davis. The former Guatemalan chief stepped on toes like Jay Gleehoff's refugee reception center, a major source of recruits for the CIA exile teams. Next, the CIA dispatched Albert Cox.…

▶ 47:56 the CIA's procurement office. And the other was a former number two man at the CIA's clandestine service. You know, the shop of dirty tricks that runs Operation Gladio that causes all the destabilization. So Aegis can run right in and secur…
