Directorship
When America entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Strategic Scientific Reserve and appointed General Chester Phillips as its Director. The SSR's task was to create super weapons against Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. General Phillips recruited inventor Howard Stark to help create weapons. When the SSR learned of Dr. Abraham Erskine and his super-soldier serum, General Phillips tasked British agent Peggy Carter to rescue him from Nazi captivity.

Project Rebirth
Upon rescuing Dr. Erskine, the SSR's tasks were shifted into creating super-soldiers. A base was set up at Camp Lehigh to house Project Rebirth's candidates. Dr. Erskine would recruit a skinny man named Steve Rogers and chose him as the first test subject. General Phillips was reluctant but eventually agreed with Dr. Erskine when Rogers showed a self-sacrificing act of bravery during a training exercise.

The procedure was conducted at a secret SSR base in Brooklyn where was supervised by General Phillips and Senator William Brandt, a main support of the SSR. The project was a success when Rogers emerged taller and more muscular. During the inspection, Dr. Erskine was killed by a Nazi spy who stole the last remaining serum. Rogers would demonstrate his new found powers by capturing the assassin but the latter commits suicide before being interrogated.
