Musgrove

Colonel Musgrove, a US Army officer, leads the recruitment of Indiana Jones in a university lecture hall. He opens his briefcase to reveal an intercepted Nazi communique about the Staff of Ra headpiece in Tanis, then questions Indy confidentially on Abner Ravenwood's connection to the artifact. With Major Eaton, he shifts scholarly discussion to military urgency, framing the Ark of the Covenant's power as a strategic threat against Nazi ambitions. Musgrove embodies disciplined wartime intelligence work, bridging academic expertise with national defense needs.
