[[Major general (United States)|Major General]] '''John Kirk Singlaub''' (July 10, 1921 – January 29, 2022) was a [[major general (United States)|major general]] in the [[United States Army]], founding member of the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] (CIA), and a highly decorated [[Officer (armed forces)|officer]] in the former [[Office of Strategic Services]] (OSS).

In 1977, Singlaub was relieved from his position as Chief of Staff of U.S. forces in South Korea after criticizing President [[Jimmy Carter]]'s proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula in an interview with the ''[[Washington Post]]''. Less than a year later, Singlaub was forced to retire after publicly questioning President Carter's national security policies. In 1979, Singlaub founded the [[Western Goals Foundation]], a private intelligence network that was implicated for supplying weapons to the Contras during the [[Iran–Contra affair]]. Singlaub contributed to several books and wrote an autobiography.

As a member of a three-member team (codenamed "<small>JAMES</small>"), he worked with  [[Maquis (World War II)|Maquis]] groups that swelled the ranks of the French Resistance after [[D-Day]].

In 1945, Singlaub was redeployed to the Pacific. On August 27, before the formal Japanese surrender, he parachuted onto [[Hainan Island]], China, commanding an eight-member team, to arrange the evacuation of US, Australian and Dutch prisoners of war being held there. Singlaub demanded proper food and medical care for the POWs, who the Japanese were still treating as prisoners.<ref>((Cite book|title=Air Apaches: The True Story of the 345th Bomb Group and Its Low, Fast, and Deadly Missions in World War II|last=Stout|first=Jay A.|publisher=Stackpole Books|year=2019|isbn=9780811738019|location=Guilford, CT, USA|pages=344–345))</ref>

In 1951, during the [[Korean War]], Singlaub, was CIA deputy chief of station in Seoul where he was the first to demonstrate [[High-altitude military parachuting|high-altitude military parachuting]]. As a master parachutist he to wanted to use bomber aircraft for agent drops in CIA covert-action operations. Singlaub used a air force [[Douglas A-26 Invader|B-26]] out of a [[Forward operating base|FOB]] on [[Yeongheungdo]] Island and re-rigged the bomb bay as a jump platform. After he conducted a series of proof of concept test jumps, Singlaub borrowed an air force [[L-19 Bird Dog]] and made a series of high altitude low-opening test jumps over the [[Han River (Korea)|Han River]].<ref>((Cite book|isbn = 978-0316441438|title = Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins|last1 = Jacobsen|first1 = Annie|date = 14 May 2019| publisher=Little, Brown ))</ref>

After his time in Korea, Singlaub headed CIA operations in postwar [[Manchuria]] during the Chinese Communist revolution, managed the secret war along the [[Ho Chi Minh trail]] in the [[Kingdom of Laos]] and [[Vietnam]], worked with the [[Contras]] in [[Nicaragua]], and Afghan resistance during the [[Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]].

In 1977, while Singlaub was chief of staff of U.S. forces in South Korea, he publicly criticized President [[Jimmy Carter]]'s proposal to withdraw U.S. troops from the Korean peninsula.

After retiring from the army, Singlaub, with [[John Rees (journalist)|John Rees]] and Democratic Congressman from Georgia, [[Larry McDonald]] founded the [[Western Goals Foundation]].

U.S. Army General [[William Westmoreland]] described Singlaub as a "true military professional" and "a man of honest, patriotic conviction and courage."((Citation needed|date=October 2008)) Congressman [[Henry J. Hyde]] (Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence Committees), described Singlaub as "a brave man, a thorough patriot, and a keen observer"; someone who had been "in the center of almost every controversial military action since World War II." Active for 40 years in overt and covert operations, he had private and secret interviews with many military and government leaders worldwide. He personally knew [[William Casey]], [[Director of Central Intelligence]] during the [[Reagan Administration]], as well as [[Oliver North]], and was involved in the [[Iran–Contra affair]]. Singlaub was President Reagan's administrative chief liaison in the Contra supply effort to oppose Moscow's and [[Fidel Castro]]'s advances in El Salvador and Nicaragua during the [[Cold War]] and their support for armed [[Marxist]] revolutionary guerrilla movements. Through his chairmanship of the world Anti-Communist League (WACL) and its U.S. chapter, the U.S. Council for World Freedom (USCWF), he enlisted Members of the [[US Congress]] from both political parties, Washington, D.C. policymakers, retired U.S. military officials, paramilitary groups, foreign governments, and American [[think tanks]] and conservatives in the Contra cause.  He often met on [[Capitol Hill]] with members of the U.S. Congress, including Congressman [[Charlie Wilson (Texas politician)|Charlie Wilson]] (D-TX) about U.S. support and funding for the Contras and anti-[[communist]] resistance forces in [[Afghanistan]] opposed to the [[Red Army]] invasion of [[Kabul]] in 1979.((Citation needed|date=April 2022))
