In WW2 they were used in the Pacific War.
Their language was practically undecipherable to the Japanese, and they had the added advantage of being able to communicate in real time whereas coded messages had to be coded and then decoded and unusable where immediate or quick action/information was required..
The Navajo Code Talkers took part in, and contributed to the success of, the island campaigns in the south and central Pacific between the US and Japan.
Some Navajo were drafted but the Code Talkers were volunteers.
Code Talkers were specially trained in the art of code talking in the language of the Navajo people. As I understand it, most were of Navajo descent but not all.
When you think of code talkers you think of the Navajo during WWII. However, less famous, but equally important were the Commanche and Choctaw code talkers
