CARIBBEAN SURVEILLANCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

The objective of insuring a well-managed Caribbean surveillance

program can be met best by designating a single executor for the function. This plan envisions the designation of the Secretary of Defense

as the executor for the entire program, employing all of the resources

of the government for the most efficient accomplishment of the task.

SPECIFIC MANAGEMENT ELEMENTS 

Figure 1 illustrates the details of an arrangement for managing

Caribbean surveillance. It will be noted, both in this chart and the

discussion which follows, that the arrangement is based largely on

presently-established functions and procedures.

Requirements

National Caribbean surveillance requirements are developed

by the U. S. Intelligence Board and furnished to the National

Reconnaissance Office.

Program Management 

As indicated in A. , above, the Secretary of Defense is the

single executor for Caribbean surveillance (specifically for

ELINT, COMINT, and photographic data).

3. Technical Responsibility 

The National Reconnaissance Office will have its mission

augmented - for the duration of the present emergency - to

include technical responsibility for all intelligence collection

in the Caribbean area (excepting agent activities), and all

photographic data processing. Acting for the Secretary of

Defense, the NRO will be responsible for receiving USIB

requirements, and translating them to the.Joint Chiefs of

Staff in the terms of the most effective and efficient technical

collection methods and types of missions to be employed.

In carrying out this responsibility the NRO will supervise

the technical development, installation, testing, and evaluation of surveillance equipment, tasking governmental

departments and agencies such as the NSA, Navy, Air Force,

Army, CIA, etc., as necessary in this area. It will review

operational, plans continuously, analyzing them against the

total requirement, eliminating deficiencies, and insuring that

the proper equipment will be applied in carrying out the

finally-approved plan.

Program Recommendations and Approvals

The Special Group will continue to provide the necessary

final program recommendations and approvals for Caribbean

surveillance.

Operations 

Caribbean surveillance operations will be carried out by

the Joint Chiefs of Staff, drawing on the unified and specified commands for the support required.

Product Processing 

The BUNT portion of the surveillance product will be processed by the NSA; the photo product will be processed at

several locations, at the direction of the NRO.

Data Exploitation 

Exploiting surveillance data will continue to be done by the

Defense Intelligence Agency and the Central Intelligence

Agency. The results of this exploitation will generate new

or revised requirements which will be placed with the USIB.
SPECiAL HANDLE

C. ADVANTAGES OF THE PLAN 

This management plan meets the recognized requirement for

establishing a single point of responsibility for the Caribbean surveillance program. It meets this need without disrupting presently assigned

functions and procedures, without the establishment of a new organization, and without the need for significant manpower augmentation.
