During World War II, the US military developed a secret communication code using the Navajo language to secure communication among American forces. The Navajo code talkers, recruited from the Navajo Nation, would transmit messages to other units using the code, rendering enemy intercepts unintelligible. To safeguard the code, men were assigned to protect it at all costs.
