The first students to attend the secret 4th Army Intelligence School in November 1941 were mostly American-born Japanese young men who joined the Army to become military intelligence analysts. Most of them spoke only “kitchen” Japanese and did not know how to read or write in the language. By the end of the war, more than 6,000 linguists graduated from the secret school and would prove to be the most valuable assets in the battlefield in the Pacific and Europe. The school later became the Army Language School, and then the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, which observes its 75th year of military language training in November 2016.
