- List_of_Ops_(B)_staff abstract "Ops (B) was a Second World War deception planning department within the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force. Set up in the United Kingdom in April 1943, the section was in charge of operational deception planning for the Western Front. Their major contribution was to Operations Cockade and Bodyguard, the latter being the cover plan for their Allied invasion of Normandy in 1944.Originally established under Colonel Jervis-Read, the department suffered from a lack of power or resources. In December 1943, Jervis-Read was replaced by Colonel Noel Wild, a member of the middle eastern 'A' Force deception department, and expanded dramatically. Wild split the department into Operations and Intelligence sections. Roger Fleetwood-Hesketh retained charge of the latter, and Wild placed Jervis-Read in command of the former. Fleetwood-Hesketh immediately expanded his staff, bringing in his brother, an MI5 liaison officer and a secretary. The operations section was not expanded until May, with three American officers and Sam Hood, (another 'A' Force alumni), joining the department.In July, Wild won a power struggle over who was in charge of deception planning in France; consequently Ops (B) had a much more involved role. He sent Jervis-Read to France at the head of a "Forward" section, accompanied by the American officers Barnes and Moody. By the end of October 1944, all of the American members of the department had returned home, leaving an entirely British staff.".
