What Is This Involved in This?

Arnold had actually begun hatching this plan while he was in the hospital. The volunteer operatives recruited by Arnold and Hudson were to be quote honest, reliable and good looking men from the age 19 to 24 years old. They never took the lead but always had the other party commit all the acts. An operative was sent to the YMCA on the night of March 12th to eavesdrop on suspected gay soldiers. On March 17th, three of Arnold's operatives were sent out to engage with Newport's suspected homosexuals.
