COM CAR — Combined Caribbean Command — operated a network of officer clubs across the US military bases established in the Caribbean theater during the Second World War. These scrip notes circulated internally as a substitute for US currency within club premises, a common practice used to prevent hard currency from leaking into local economies or falling into enemy hands in the event of a base compromise.
The denomination in rupees is the genuine puzzle here. Caribbean Command had no operational connection to rupee-using territories — the denomination likely reflects either borrowed scrip stock originally intended for South Asian or Indian Ocean postings, or a deliberate use of a non-dollar unit to reinforce the scrip's non-negotiability outside the issuing club.
