Why was there a need to assign bodyguards to the Navajo Code Talkers?

The "bodyguards" for the Navajo Code Talkers had the responsibility to see that they never fell into Japanese hands. This responsibility was handled in two ways:protect the Navajo Code Talker during battlekill the Navajo Code Talker if he was captured or was about to be captured by Japanese (the Navajo Code Talkers were never informed of this)Effectively the US Military treated the Navajo Code Talkers as they would any other classified high security cypher machine they might use to send and receive secret messages. If you were responsible for a cypher machine your responsibilities for handling the machine were identical: protect it from the enemy in battle and destroy it should there be a chance of the enemy capturing it.

Who were the code talkers?

Code talkers were Native Americans who served the United States in World War II by using their native languages to describe artillery, armaments, troop movements and so forth. This scheme allowed the war-time commanders to communicate through the code talkers with the presumption that the 'code' in use would never be deciphered. They were correct: the code used by the code talkers was never 'broken'. Read more, below.
