Captain of the military honor guard, Michael D. Groves is believed to have had limited foreknowledge of the assassination of J.F.K. For three days before the assassination, he was given orders to have his men practice for a president funeral. It is unclear who gave these orders.After Kennedy’s death, on December 3, 1963, [Source 3] Captain Groves sat down for dinner, took a bite of his food, passed out, and then instantly died. [Source 4] A few days later, on December 12th, a fire of “mysterious origins” burned down his home containing all of his possessions. Captain Groves father and sister felt that his death was not accidental and were very outspoken about their beliefs. His sister, Darbea, made claims that Groves was murdered and stated that she was threatened to be committed to a mental institute if she did not keep quiet. Darbea died in 1978 at the age of 37
This photograph was taken in a nightclub in Mexico City on 22nd January, 1963. It has been argued by Daniel Hopsicker that the men in the photograph are all members of Operation 40. Hopsicker suggests that the man closest to the camera on the left is Felix Rodriguez, next to him is Porter Goss and Barry Seal.Hopsicker adds that Frank Sturgis is attempting to hide his face with his coat. It has been claimed that in the picture are Albertao 'Loco' Blanco (3rd right) and Jorgo Robreno (4th right).
Operation 40 was the code name for a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored counterintelligence group composed mostly by Cuban exiles. It was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in March 1960, after the January 1959 Cuban Revolution. The group was presided over by Richard Nixon and included Admiral Arleigh Burke, Livingston Merchant of the State Department, National Security Adviser Gordon Gray, and Allen Dulles of the CIA. CIA assembled virtually the same team that was involved in the removal of Arbenz: Tracey Barnes, Richard Bissell, David Morales, David Atlee Phillips, E. Howard Hunt, Rip Robertson and Henry Hecksher. Added to this list were several agents who had been involved in undercover operations in Germany: Ted Shackley, Tom Clines and William Harvey. Tracy Barnes functioned as head of the Cuban Task Force. He called a meeting on January 18, 1960, in his office in Quarters Eyes, near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, which the navy had lent while new buildings were being constructed in Langley. Those who gathered there included Howard Hunt, future head of the Watergate team and a writer of crime novels; Frank Bender, a friend of Trujillo; Jack Esterline, who had come straight from Venezuela where he directed a CIA group; psychological warfare expert David A. Phillips, and others. Vice-President Richard Nixon was the Cuban "case officer," and had assembled an important group of businessmen headed by George Bush Sr and Jack Crichton, both Texas oilmen, as fundraisers. Operation 40, Mexico-City-1963. Special operation allegedly charged with assasinating Fidel Castro (killed a bunch of other people instead),
It seems that Operation 40, created to remove Fidel Castro, had been redirected to kill Kennedy, as part of a freelance operation. David Atlee Phillips in the unpublished manuscript entitled The AMLASH Legacy wrote: "I was one of those officers who handled Lee Harvey Oswald... We gave him the mission of killing Fidel Castro in Cuba... I don't know why he killed Kennedy. But I do know he used precisely the plan we had devised against Castro. Thus the CIA did not anticipate the president's assassination, but it was responsible for it. I share that guilt." And Frank Sturgis stated that "this assassination group (Operation 40) would upon orders, naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary some of your own members who were suspected of being foreign agents."

Jack Crichton was the commanding officer of the 488th Military Intelligence Detachment.\
488th Military Intelligence Detachment
In 1956 Jack Alston Crichton
started up his own spy unit, the 488th Military Intelligence Detachment
in Dallas. Crichton served as the unit's commander under Lieutenant
Colonel George Whitmeyer, who was in overall command of all Army Reserve
units in East Texas. In an interview Crichton claimed that there were
"about a hundred men in that unit and about forty or fifty of them were
from the Dallas Police Department."
In November 1963 Jack Alston
Crichton was involved in the arrangements of the visit that President
John F. Kennedy made to Dallas. His close friend, Deputy Police Chief
George L. Lumpkin, and a fellow member of the the 488th Military
Intelligence Detachment, drove the pilot car of Kennedy's motorcade.
Also in the car was Lieutenant Colonel George Whitmeyer, commander of
all Army Reserve units in East Texas. The pilot car stopped briefly in
front of the Texas School Book Depository, where Lumpkin spoke to a
policeman controlling traffic at the corner of Houston and Elm.
As
Russ Baker points out in Family of Secrets (2008) Crichton served as
the "intelligence unit's only commander... until he retired from the
488th in 1967".
