On December 12th, 1941, General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered Major Quintin Maxwell, the Army's leading expert on commando/unconventional warfare, to form a small special operations group to be designated as the 1st Special Missions Unit. After 12 weeks of intense training under Major Maxwell, this group of twelve hardcases were forged into an elite fighting force capable of taking on any mission, no matter how impossible, and succeeding. In order to prove his unit's capabilities, Maxwell invited Eisenhower and his staff to see for themselves first hand during a training exercise. Maxwell's unit preformed so effectively that there was no doubt about their ability to take on the impossible and succeed. Impressed, General Eisenhower referred to them as "The deadliest twelve men I've ever seen - Thank God they are on our side!" Thus the legend of The Deadly Dozen was born.
