Editorial comments:

Internal evidence suggests this document may be a copy of the paper discussed by Gillmore in a briefing for Acland on 29 April. The title "Special Forces: Direct Action Operations" given to the document as circulated to OD(SA) can be found on CAB148/212 f3: the paper itself is closed in that file and may differ in substance as well as in title.
