FOREWORD 
fl  ft  The  history  of  AF/IN  can  best  be  understood  if 
read  with  full  appreciation  of  the  dual  responsibilities 
assigned  to  the  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  Intelligence 
(ACS/I).   He  is,  first  of  all,  a  member  of  the  Air  Staff 
with  assigned  specific  responsibilities  and  functions  in 
the  areas  of  substantive  intelligence  support  and  manage- 
ment of  Air  Force  intelligence  resources-   In  addition, 
by  National  Security  Council  Directive,  he  is  a  member  of 
the  so-called  "national  intelligence  community"  with  addi- 
tional specific  responsibilities,  functions,  and  relation- 
ships vis-a-vis  the  United  States  Intelligence  Board,  the 
Central  Intelligence  Agency,  the  Defense  Intelligence 
Agency,  the  National  Security  Agency  and  the  Service 
Intelligence  Chiefs.   However,  the  ACS/I  is  also  the 
Commander  of  the  Air  Force  Intelligence  Service  {AFIS) , 
a  Separate  Ooerating  Agency.   In  order  to  fully  understand 
the  role  of  the  Assistant  Chief  of  Staff,  Intelligence  as 
both  ACS/I  and  Commander,  AFIS,  one  must  read  both  the _ 
semi-annual  AF/IN  histories  and  the  annual  AFIS  histories.

SUPPORT  OF  INTERAGENCY  STUDIES 
Reassessment  of  Soviet  Military  Personnel  Strength 
On  1  November  1974,  a  Steering  Group  with  DIA, 
Central  Intelligence  Agency  (CIA) ,  National  Security 
Agency  (NSA)  ,  USAF  and  Army  membership  was  formed  to  over- 
see  reanalysis  of  available  data  to  improve  strength 
assessments  for  all  military  forces.   A  number  of  inter- 
agency working  groups  were  created  for  the  effort:   AF/INA 
furnished  the  member  to  head  the  working  group  on  civil 
defense.   Phase  II,  to  refine  the  preliminary  estimates, 
is  to  extend  through  15  March  1975.   In  the  preliminary 
estimate  (Phase  I),  completed  on  19  December  1974,  empha- 
sis was  placed  on  command  and  general  support  personnel.
Support  of  Key  Intelligence  Questions  (KIQs) 
Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  (JCS)  Support 
e-§§^  The  Soviet  Stategic  Affairs  Section,  AF/INAK, 
prepared  a  research  paper  on  Soviet  decision-making  as  it 
relates  to  Strategic  Arms  Limitation  Talks  (SALT).   This 
paper  was  initiated  by  an  informal  request  from  the  office
of  Lieutenant  General  Edward  L.  Rowny,  the  JCS  representa- 
tive to  SALT  and  was  delivered  to  General  Rowny  upon 
completion. 
International  Conferences 
A  report  of  the  conference  will  be  published  under 
the  title  ".Minutes  cf  CANUKUS  Working  Party  65,  Soviet 
Surface-to-Air-Missiles,  Washington,  12-15  November  1974." 
SUPPORT  TO  AIR  STAFF/ 
AIR  FORCE  ELEMENTS  AND  COMMANDS 
fip  Command  and  Control  (C2)  continued  to  grow  as  an 
area  of  intelligence  interest  with  emphasis  being  placed 
on  C  vulnerabilities  as  a  major  focal  point  for  disrupt- 
ing enemy  operations.   Warsaw  Pact  C2  equipment  and  proce- 
dures were  the  subject  of  two  briefings  presented  by 
AF/INA7A  personnel  to  the  Ad  Koc  Panel  on  Airborne  Warning 
o 
to 
n 
«
and  Control  System  (AWACS)  Electronic  Countermeasures 
(ECM)  Resistivity.   AF/INAKA  also  prepared  and  presented 
a  briefing  on  current  US  intelligence  and  warning  sources 
in  Europe  as  a  basis  for  ascertaining  the  E-3  AWACS  contri- 
bution to  tactical  warning. 
£|!|H AF/INAKA  continued  to  provide  data  base  support 
in  the  C2  task  area.   Two  principal  efforts  in  this  regard 
during  the  period  consisted  of  assistance  to  Advanced-   • — 
Research  Projects  Agency  (ARPA)  contractor  personnel  com- 
piling a  study  of  Soviet  C2  as  a  part  of  the  History  of 
Strategic  Competition  and  to  7602  Air  Intelligence  Group 
(AINTELG)  personnel  compiling  a  C2  data  base  as  a  part  of 
their  effort  to  develop  a  viable  C2  related  Human  Source 
Intelligence  (HUMINT)  collection  program. 
AF/INAKA  participated  in  NEW  HORIZONS  II,  an  Air 
Staff  study  designed  to  aid  Air  Force  planning  for  the 
1985-2000  time  period.   Major  AF/INAKA  emphasis  was  on 
preparing  a  threat  for  the  space  portion  of  the  study. 
Threats  to  US  space  operations  as  well  as  foreign  use  of 
* 
u
space  threats  to  US  worldwide  military  operations  were 
provided.   The  study  is  scheduled  for  completion  during 
the  first  quarter  of  CY  75. 
^£  In  a  related  program  AF/INAKA  participated  in  a 
three-day  symposium  on  Space  Opportunities  and  Capabilities 
in  the  1980s  and  1990s.   Leading  US  space  experts  from 
industry  and  the  government  were  brought  in  to  address  the 
symposium.

«^< 
In  response  to  a  request  from  General  Paul  K. 
Carlton,  Coriander,  Military  Airlift  Command,  in  May  1974,
for  more  substantive  intelligence  data  regarding  the 
Soviet  military  airlift  potential,  an  extensive  and  infor- 
mative study  was  prepared  on  "Soviet  Military  Transport 
Aviation  (VTA)"  by  AF/INAKB.   The  scope  of  this  compendium 
of  substantive  data  included  such  pertinent  topics  as  mis- 
sion, deployment,  doctrine  and  concepts,  organization, 
command  and  control,  operational  capabilities  and  limita- 
tions, and  prospects  for  the  future.  All  of  the  intelli- 
gence agencies  in  the  Washington  area  were  solicited  for 
substantive  Soviet  airlift  data.   Additional  assistance 
was  derived  from  the  Assistant  Secretary  of  Defense  for 
Program  Analysis  and  Evaluation  study  entitled  "A  Net 
Assessment  for  the  Capability  of  the  US  and  Soviet  Union 
to  Project  Military  Force  into  the  Persian  Gulf  Area." 
Upon  completion  of  the  report  for  General  Carlton,  analysts 
from  other  agencies  who  had  been  consulted  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  project  indicated  that  a  wider  distribution  of 
this  paper  would  serve  a  useful  purpose.  Additional  cop- 
ies were  then  distributed  to  DIA,  CIA,  Department  of  State 
and  various  offices  of  the  Air  Staff.

Ballistic  Missile  Defense  Studv 
The  JCS  directed  the  commission  of  a  joint  USA/ 
USAF  study  aimed  at  reevaluating  existing  roles  and  Service 
responsibilities  in  ballistic  missile  defense.   AF/INAP 
representatives  worked  in  conjunction  with  US  Army  ACS/I 
representatives  to  develop  the  threat  package  that  is  being 
used  in  the  study.   The  finished  study  will  be  presented 
to  the  SECDZF  to  use  in  determining  the  future  roles  of 
the  two  services  fn  ballistic  missile  defense. 
Costs  of  Soviet  Air  Defense 
Weapons  Systems 
To  better  support  Air  Staff,  Joint  and  DOD  studies 
and  estimates  in  the  threat  management  process,  AF/IMA? 
sought  to  determine  the  costs  of  Soviet  air  defense  weapon 
systems.   With  assistance  from  DIA,  investment  and  operat- 
ing costs  for  Soviet  interceptor  aircraft  and  surface  to 
air  missile  systems  were  estimated.   Work  is  continuing  in 
developing  these  costs  for  Soviet  early  warning/ground  con- 
trolled intercept  radar  networks  and  for  anti-ballistic 
missile  and  anti-satellite  weapon  systems.

support  for  evaluating  the  intelligence  issues  that 
impacted  on  the  decision  making  process  for  this  PDM. 
This  support  was  provided  by  direct  input  through  the 
vehicle  of  a  working  group  comprised  of  representatives 
from  the  Air  Staff  and  the  major  commands.   Particular 
emphasis  was  given  to  evaluating  the  ability  of  projected 
US  strategic  forces  to  adapt  to  changes  in  the  enemy  threat 
as  envisioned  by  both  the  draft  proposal  and  the  final 
decision.  AF/INAP  further  provided  a  threat  responsive- 
ness evaluation  for  the  Air  Force  response  to  the  decision.

■II  While  providing  support  to  SABER  TASK,  there  was 
a  parallel  requirement  to  continue  support  to  the  old  WRM 
methodology.   The  WRM  requirements  are  published  each  year 
by  AF/XOX  in  the  NCAA.   AF/INAP  has  supported  AF/XOX  each 
year  by  providing  the  target  data  input  to  the  NCAA  com- 
puter program. 
£§^  This  year,  AF/INAP  provided  target  lists  for  the 
European  and  Pacific  theaters  based  upon  air,  ground  and

RAND  Precision-Guided  Munitions 
(PGM)  Analyses 
In  early  August  1974 ,  AF/INAP  received  a  request 
from  RAND  for  support  of  a  PGM  study.   The  purpose  of  the 
RAND  study  is  to  provide  USAF  research  and  development 
managers  with  systematic  analyses  of  those  PGMs  which 
would  be  technologically  and  operationally  feasible  in  the 
1980s.   The  analyses  would  compare  the  cost-effectiveness 
of  various  PGMs  and  conventional  munitions.

Defense  Suppression  Concept 
of  Operations 
In  late  October  1974,  the  CSAF  designated  Tactical 
Air  Command  (TAC)  to  be  the  lead  command  in  an  effort  to 
develop  a  Concept  of  Operations  for  Defense  Suppression. 
The  concept  was  needed  to  demonstrate  the  interaction  of 
developmental  defense  suppression-related  programs  such  as 
AWACS,  EF-111A,  Precision  Location  Strike  System,  F-4E
Wild  Weasel,  etc.   ODDR&E  requested  the  concept  for  use  in 
a  review  of  these  programs  to  determine  the  extent  of 
redundancy-   The  concept  will  also  be  used  in  a  quantita- 
tive analysis  to  determine  the  contribution  of  each  system 
to  the  defense  suppression  task.   This  analysis  will  be 
performed  by  AF/SA  as. one  .of  .the  SABER  COUNTER  .studies. 
HQ  TAC  convened  an  ad  hoc  working  group  to  write 
the  concept  and  assistance  was  requested  from  the  MAJCOMs 
and  HQ  DSAF.   On  4  November  1974,  TAC/INO  requested 
assistance  from  AF/INAP.  On  5  and  6  November  1974,  an 
AF/IKAP  officer  visited  TAC  to  assist  in  the  preparation 
of  a  scenario  and  supporting  data  for  the  concept.   The 
supporting  data  were  derived  from  published  DIA  documents. 
The  scenario  was  drawn  from  the  same  sources  and  from  pre- 
vious AF/INAP  threat  scenarios.  ._._ 
The  Concept  of  Operations  was  prepared  in  briefing 
format  and  delivered  to  AF/XOO.   The  briefing  will  be  pre- 
sented during  the  ODDR&E- sponsored  Defense  Suppression 
Symposium  in  March  1975.   AF/INAP  will  review  the  briefing 
prior  to  that  date  to  insure  that  it  is  consistent,  with 
current  data. 
SABER  ACQUIRE 
In  late  November  1974,  AF/SA  requested  AF/INAP 
to  prepare  a  threat/target  array  for  SABER  ACQUIRE.   This 
Study  Group  is  performing  an  analysis  of  avionics  equip- 
ment for  the  A-10  close  support  aircraft.   AF/SA  desired
an  array  depicting  a  five-by-ten  kilometer  slice  of  the 
FEBA.  Major  targets  and  air  defense  systems  were  to  be 
included.

S?*3ER  STAR  -  FOXTROT 
At  the  request  of  AF/XO,  AF/SA  has  begun  a  study 
to  determine  the  tactical  reconnaissance  force  levels 
necessary  to  support  Air  Force  and  Army  requirements. 
This  study,  designated  SABER  STAR-FOXTROT ,  was  in  the 
model  definition  phase  during  the  current  reporting  period. 
The  study  group  worked  on  developing  an  interdiction  model, 
TAC  INTERDICTOR  II,  with  emphasis  on  the  contribution  of 
reconnaissance  to  the  interdiction  effort. 
^§P  AF/INAP  assisted  the  study  group  during  this 
initial  phase.   At  a  series  of  working  meetings,  AF/SAGR 
and  AF/INAP  participants  discussed  the  types  of  intelli- 
gence data  needed  for  the  study  and  the  means  of  incorpora- 
ting these  data  into  the  methodology.   Emphasis  in  these 
discussions  was  on  the  Warsaw  Pact  logistics  system  and 
the  composition  and  disposition  of  Warsaw  Pact  forces. 
Illustrative  data  were  generated  in  these  sessions  to  test 
p.
the  methodology.   Upon  completion  of  this  phase,  actual 
threat  and  target  data  will  be  provided  to  satisfy  AF/XO's 
request. 
SOVIET  MILITARY  THOUGHT  SERIES 
Soviet  Strategic  Affairs  continued  to  disseminate 
information  on  Soviet  military  doctrine  and  strategy 
through  its  two  publication  projects:   the  Soviet  Press 
Selected  Translations  and  the  "Soviet  Military  Thought" 
(SMT)  book  series. 
4|R  The  Soviet  Press  Selected  Translations  are  pub- 
lished en  a  monthly  basis  and  contain  articles  primarily 
of  military  and  political  significance.   During  this  period 
distribution  of  this  publication  increased  from  600  to  900 
copies  monthly.   Distribution  is  made  principally  to  US 
military  and  civilian  government  officials. 
^1  The  distribution  of  the  SMT  book  series  has  also 
greatly  increased.   More  than  100  foreign  scholars,  jour- 
nalists, and  research  institutions  were  added  as  well  as 
numerous  US  scholars,  institutions,  journalists,  military 
and  civilian  government  officials.   In  order  to  facilitate 
the  distribution  of  the  continually  increasing  volume  of 
the  SMT  series ,  Soviet  Stategic  Affairs  computerized  its  • 
distribution  lists.   During  this  period,  Volume  IV:  The 
Basic  Principles  of  Operational  Art  and  Tactics,  and  Volume 
V:  The  Philosophical  Heritage  of  V.I.  Lenin  and  Problems 
of  Contemporary  War  were  published.   At  the  same  time  work
continued  on  editing  and  preparing  future  volumes  for  pub- 
lication.  In  order  to  assist  this  growing  program,  the 
position  of  Senior  Analyst,  Foreign  Military  Doctrine  and 
strategy  was  created  within  AF/INA.   The  purpose  of  this 
position  is  to  facilitate  the  selection  of  the  most  auth- 
oritative and  most  significant  works  produced  by  leading 
Soviet  authors  on  the  subject  of  military  doctrine  and 
foreign  policy  and  their  interrelationships,  to  ensure  the 
translations  Df  those  works  selected  by  the  ACS/I,  USAF, 
to  maintain  close  and  continuing  editorial  review  of  the 
translated  works  in  order  to  ensure  factual,  correct  and 
complete  renditions,  and  to  ensure,  by  exacting  review, 
the  delivery  of  perfect  galley  proofs  for  each  volume 
turned  over  for  oubli cation.

AFR  55-19,  Organization,  Operation  and  Management 
of  the  WS430B,  was  published  in  August  1974.  As  the  Air 
Staff  Office  of  Primary  Responsibility  (OPR)  for  the  WS430B
CI 
Photographic  Processing  and  Interpretation  Facility  (PPIF) , 
AF/INYSD  was  responsible  for  the  development  and  staffing 
of  this  regulation-   AFR  55-19  states  the  concept  of  opera- 
tions, organization  and  responsibilities  for  the  WS430B. 
It  also  provides  general  requirements,  operating  procedures 
and  guidelines  for  the  management  of  the  PPIF  by  tactical 
reconnaissance  units. 
|^P  The  "WS430B  Maintenance  Manager  Review  Program 
(MMRP)  was  convened  at  Hill  Air  Force  Base,  Utah,  to  discuss 
managerial,  maintenance,  logistics  and  technical  problems 
of  the  PPIF.   AF/INYSD  chaired  the  management  portion  of 
the  MMRP  which  considered  all  action  items  which  were  noted 
at  the  WS4  30B  Long  Range  Planning  Conference  (April  1974)  . 
The  purpose  of  the  MMRP  was  to  extend  the  service  life  of 
the  WS430B  in  a  fully  operational  condition  at  the  lowest 
possible  cost. 
flP  Development  of  the  Tactical  Information  Processing 
and  Interpretation  Image  Processing  (TIPI  IP)  segment  was 
slipped  until  FY  1976;  however,  key  components  of  the  IP 
continued  under  development  or  test.   Preliminary  and  crit- 
ical design  reviews  were  held  concerning  the  advanced  tac- 
tical film  processor  and  one  of  the  Diazo  (Scott  Graphic) 
duplication  printer/processors  completed  successful  Initial 
Operational  Test  and  Evaluation/Developmental  Test  and 
Evaluation  (IOT&E/DT&E) .   The  other  Diazo  (Kuffel  and 
Essel)  machine  continued  to  experience  development  prob- 
lems; therefore,  testing  will  slip  until  early  1975.
£ ( 
AFR  96-1,  Quality  Control  Requirements  for  Continu- 
ous Photographic  Processing  Laboratories,  was  submitted  to 
Air  Force  Publications.   This  regulation,  which  was  devel- 
oped under  the  AF/INYSD-sponsored  SENTINEL  SIGMA  program  ,. 
to  standardize  USAF  quality  control  techniques  used  by 
photo  reconnaissance/mapping  programs,  will  be  published  in 
January  1975.   AFR  96-1  establishes  minimum  quality  control 
requirements  and  policies  f or  USAF  continuous  photo  pro- 
cessing facilities  supporting  reconnaissance  mapping  pro- 
grams.  It  establishes  the  responsibilities  of  the  Central 
Calibration  Program  and  describes  the  categories  of  photo 
laboratories  and  their  required  level  of  performance.   An 
automated  Quality  Control  Equipment  Listing  developed  as 
part  of  the  SENTINEL  SIGMA  program  was  published  in 
September  1974.  ~- 
^^  During  this  period,  AF/INYSD  conceived  and  devel- 
oped a  program  to  evaluate  current  photo  processing  tech- 
niques and  determine  the  best  processing  cycles  for  USAF 
reconnaissance  imagery.   Under  the  project  nickname 
SENTINEL  SMOKE,  SR-71,  U-2  and  test  camera  imagery  will 
be  processed  by  three  separate  methods  (spray,  immersion 
and  viscous).   Participation  in  this  program  includes  the 
Defense  Mapping  Agency  (DMA)  ,  DIA,  the  US  Navy  and  the  US 
Air  Force.   The  results  of  this  program  will  be  used  in 
developing  long  term  plans  to  improve  USAF  photo  processing 
capabilities.

JOINT  RESEARCH  AMD  DEVELOPMENT 
OBJECTIVES  DOCUMENT  (JRDOD  FY  77-94) 
As  AF/IN  focal  point  for  research  and  development 
(R&D)  matters,  AF/INYXB  is  responsible  for  AF/IN  contribu- 
tions to  the  JRDOD.   The  JRDOD  is  the  principal  document 
used  by  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  (JCS)  to  provide  advice 
to  the  Secretary  of  Defense  (SECDEF)  to  assist  in  develop- 
ing, the  Department  of  Defense  (DOD)  R&D  program.  The  JRDOD 
was  restructured  last  year  to  facilitate  annual  review  and 
update  through  page  changes  without  the  necessity  for 
reproduction  of  the  entire  volume.   Involvement  with  the 
JRDOD  FY  77-94  began  in  early  July  with  comments  on  the 
Guidelines  for  reviewing  the  document  and  ended  with  con- 
currence on  the  JCS  Green  Report  in  late  December.   AF/IN 
comments  mainly  concerned  updating  the  threat  sections  and 
expanding  the  R&D  objective  for  improved  intelligence  analy- 
sis to  include  target  intelligence  analytical  techniques. 
No  major  issues  arose  impacting  on  intelligence  this  year.

ANNUAL  DEFENSE  DEPARTMENT  REPORT 
FOR  FY  1976 
In  September  1974,  AF/INYXB  provided  the  AF/IN 
representative  to  the  Air  Staff  working  group  which  was 
established  to  consolidate  and  coordinate  Air  Staff  inputs 
to  the  Annual  Defense  Department  Report.   This  report, 
written  by  the  Office  of  the  Secretary  of  Defense  (OSD) , 
is  the  annual  statement  of  the  Secretary  of  Defense  (SECDEF) 
on  the  accomplishments  of  the  Defense  Department  and  its 
objectives  for  the  future.  AF/IN  elements  recommended 
areas  for  increased,  decreased  or  new  emphasis  in  the  FY 
76  Report,  and  provided  updated  intelligence  for  the  threat 
sections  of  the  report.   The  final  report  is  scheduled  for 
Topline  Coordination  and  publication  in  January  1975.

ORGANIZATION    AND    MISSION 
ASSISTANT    FOR   JOINT,    NSC,     AND    USIB    MATTERS 
(AF/INJ) 
The  mission  of  AF/INJ  continues  to  incorporate 
responsibility  for  all  joint  and  National  Security  Council 
(NSC)  matters,  as  well  as  actions  that  are  considered  by 
the  United  States  Intelligence  Board  (USIB) .   During  this 
period ,  the  Deputy  Chief  of  Staff /Plans  and  Operations 
Assistant  Director  for  joint  and  NSC  matters  (AF/XOXJ)*, 
authorized  AF/IN  to  work  two  joint  papers  through  the 
"Green"  of  final  action  stage.   Both  papers  concerned  sen- 
sitive, intelligence  systems,  management.   This  was  a  pre- 
cedent for  AF/IN  because  AF/XOXJ  had  not  previously  allowed 
any  non-AF/XO  action  officers  to  address  papers  at  the 
Operations  Deputy  echelon.   This  reflects  well  on  the  man-  ... 
agement  and  capabilities  of  AF/IN  personnel. 
^Bfifc  During  the  calendar  year  1974,  a  total  of  1200 
joint  and  NSC  actions  were  processed  through  AF/INJ. 
Because  of  a  revised  records  keeping  system,  a  definitive 
comparison  of  the  work  load  with  previous  years  is  not 
possible.   It  is  estimated,  however,  that  this  represents 
a  10  percent  increase  in  continuous  work  load  (as  opposed 
to  surge  requirements  and  is  due  to  a  concerted  effort  on 
the  part  of  Colonel  Ralph  to  insure  that  AF/XOXJ  require 
its  action  officers  to  coordinate  all  their  papers  with 
*The  office  with  primary  responsibility  for  all  Air  Staff 
actions  in  joint  and  NSC  matters.

AF/INJ.   The  immediate  benefit  of  this  effort  has  been 
that  AF/INJ  has  been  able  to  keep  the  Assistant  Chief  of 
Staff,  Intelligence  (ACS/I)  better  informed  concerning 
actions  under  consideration  in  the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff 
(JCS)  arena. 
flA  The  staff  now  includes  three  officers  and  one 
civilian.   As  part  of  headquarters  manpower  cuts,  AF/INJ 
was  forced  to  give  up  one  military  position.   The  one  non- 
commissioned officer  (NCO)  authorization  was  surrendered 
on  1  July  and  Master  Sergeant  Eddie  Holston  was  reassigned 
within  the  headquarters  effective  15  July.   This  cut  denied 
AF/INJ  clerical  support  except  what  could  be  done  by  the 
assigned  officers.   It  was  arranged  that  the  secretarial 
position  (GS-6) ,  which  had  been  left  vacant  by  design  since 
October  1972,  should  be  filled,  effective  8  July. 
Kiss  Connie  Lloyd  was  hired  to  fill  the  position  because 
of  her  demonstrated  skill  and  knowledge  in  preparing  joint 
papers.   An  IBM  magnetic  tape  selectric  typewriter  was 
secured  to  allow  repetitive  typing  of  the  kind  associated 
with  joint  actions.   AF/INJ  now  administratively  prepares 
all  joint  packages  being  worked  by  AF/IN  and  Air  Force 
Intelligence  Service  (AFIS)  action  officers.  This  proce- 
dure permits  the  specialization  of  one  skilled  secretary 
thereby  improving  both  the  quality  of  the  administratively 
complex  packages,  and  response  time  for  the  action  officers.
Major  issues  for  which  AF/INJ  has  provided  signifi- 
cant guidance  or  senior-level  participation  include: 
a.  The  role  of  the  Soviet  BACKFIRE  bomber  in 
strategic  planning  -  an  issue  in  the  Joint  Intelligence 
Estimate  for  Planning  (JIEP). 
b.  The  problems  associated  with  renegotiation  of 
bilateral  agreements  affecting  US  Signals  Intelligence 
(SIGINT)  sites,  particularly  in  Greece. 
c.  The  National  and  Tactical  SIGINT  Plans. 
d.  The  controversy  over  retention  of  the  JIEP, 
Defense  Intelligence  Projections  for  Planning  (DIPP) ,  and 
Defense  Intelligence  Estimate  for  Joint  Planning  (DIEJP) . 
At  issue  were  the  purpose  and  relative  utility  of  the  three 
documents  ,  all  of  which  nave  been  required  by  JCS  direction 
(Memorandum  of  Policy  84) .   The  matter  has  been  resolved 
in  favor  of  the  Air  Force  position  which  called  for  phasing- 
out  the  DIEJP  and  revising  the  format  of  the  JIEP  and  DIEJP. 
DIRECTORATE  OF  THREAT  APPLICATIONS 
(AT/ IMA) 
As  of  31  December  1974,  authorized  directorate  Air 
Staff  manning  was  43  officers,  seven  NCO's  and  26  civilians. 
One  officer  space  was  deleted  during  this  time  period.   Two 
officer  and  two  civilian  spaces  are  scheduled  for  reduction 
at  the  end  of  the  third  quarter  of  FY  1975.

DIRECTORATE    OF    RESOURCE    MANAGEMENT 
(AF/INY) 
0|P  As  of   31   December    1974,   AF/INY' s   authorized  manning 
was    51   officers,    seven  NCO's,    and   18   civilians.      A  total 
of   three   personnel    authorizations   are   scheduled  for  deletion 
in   the  third  and   fourth  quarters   of  FY  1974. 
Systems  Management  Division 
(AF/INYST 
£■  Effective  1  July   1974,   the  Systems  Management  Divi- 
sion   (AF/INYS)  ,   with   its   three  subordinate  branches    (Elec- 
tronic,   SIGINT,    and   Imagery)  ,    officially  returned  to  the 
Air  Staff.      This   event,    concurrent  with  the  deactivation 
of   the   7601  Air   Intelligence   Group    (AFIS)  ,   had  no  percept- 
able   effect   upon   the   Division's    functions,    responsibilities, 
personnel   and  workload,    except  the  elimination  of  certain 
bizarre  organizational   arrangements   and   relationships  occa- 
sioned by   the  AFIS    status    of  an  element  charged  with  pure 
Air   Staff   functions.      By   the   close   of  the  period,    all  Divi- 
sion  personnel  had  been   officially   transferred  from  the 
AFIS   to  the  Air   Staff. 
q|  P  The  Division   spearheaded  within  AF/IN  the   acquisi- 
tion  and  employment  of  Magnetic  Card  Typewriters   for  secre- 
tarial  personnel.      This   equipment,    programmed  on  a  rental 
basis,   has  greatly  reduced   the  turnaround  time  for  editing 
and  administrative   correction  of  paperwork,    and  has   resulted 
in   significant  improvements   in  the  quality,   quantity  and 
timeliness  of  Division  correspondence.
