      ONE HUNDRED FIFTY QUESTIONS TO A GUERRILLA

      By Alberto Bayo Giroud

      1. In order for a guerrilla to succeed, exactly what preconditions should exist?

      To be right in your struggle against the injustices which a people suffer, whether from foreign invasion, the imposition of a dictatorship, the existence of a government which is an enemy to the people, an oligarchic regime, etc. If these conditions do not exist, the guerrilla war will always be defeated. Whoever revolts unrighteously reaps nothing but a crushing defeat.

      2. Who should take part in a guerrilla unit?

      Primarily only young men and women who are firm in their convictions, cautious in their dealings, have proven their spirit of self-sacrifice, personal courage, patriotism, and great dedication to the cause of the people should take part in a guerrilla war.

      3. In addition to these moral qualifications what else must one who intends to join our guerrilla organization do?

      He must truthfully and in detail answer questions on a questionnaire which includes such information as the applicant’s full name; place and date of birth; marital status; names of parents; names of spouse, children, etc.; places of work since the age of eighteen; names of friends in the Revolutionary Movement; whether he has ever been arrested; and many other questions which our Movement has worked out. The applicant must give a history of his political position. After completion of the questionnaire and our obtaining a favorable impression from the investigation of the data supplied, he will be admitted to the appropriate guerrilla unit.

      4. If the results of the investigation of his questionnaire reveal the applicant to be an informer or spy who intends to enter our ranks to betray zips, what shall we do with him?

      He will be judged by the Summary Court Martial as a traitor to the revolution.

      5. If in spite of all steps we take, a despicable spy infiltrates the organization, what shall we do with him?

      Once his status has been verified as such, he will be judged by Court Martial and without pity sentenced to death. We can pardon a political enemy who fights for an ideal which in our estimation is wrong. but never a spy. Such a man deserves no consideration even though to the enemy he may be a hero or martyr. The accused should be given every right which his situation warrants, especially since he may really be an agent working for us who was ordered by his supervisors to engage in counterespionage.

      6. How many guerrillas work in a guerrilla unit?

      The ideal number is between ten and twenty. The fewer the men, the greater the mobility.

      7. How fast does a guerrilla unit make an amphibious landing and how is it achieved?

      The unit is only as fast as the slowest of its members. To effect a landing everything must be planned and rehearsed in advance so that as soon as the unit hits the beach every member moves quickly, silently, well disciplined and well briefed in his particular task. Those who are assigned to take the hills commanding the beach move off to the left flank; those who are to take and hold the center run forward and assume their positions, then rapidly unload the material from the boat as quickly as possible, maintaining discipline and absolute silence as though they were a group of deaf mutes, not even being able to signal to one another.

      8. What is done with guerrillas who cannot withstand long marches?

      They are brought together to form slower units within which, however, everyone has to keep up.

      9. Who should captain a guerrilla unit?

      The captain should be the one who because of his special qualifications of command ability, character, intelligence, caution, zest for combat, etc. is nominated for the position.

      10. Should a guerrilla be informed of the higher command organization?

      Yes, he should know it and abide by it so that when there are casualties there will be no disagreement as to who is to command a unit. Vacated positions are taken over by the person with
