The submission included a nine~ page section, "Guidance for Peacetime Conduct of US Military Personnel,” and offered guidance for detention by beth hostile governments and terrorists.? The rationale for the guidance was as follows: DOG personnel, due to their wide range of activaties, are subject to peacetime detention hy unfriendiy gowernments or captivity by terrorist groups, This guidance seeks to help individuals aurvive these situations with honor and does not constitute a means for judgment or a vehicle for enforcement of proper conduct. This guidance, although exactly the same as the Code of Conduct in some areas, applies only during peacetime, The term “peacetime* denotes a situation where armed conflict does not exist or where armed conflict does exist but the US is not directly involved. lgistorical Data Rprt QM AFIS/INU, Jan~Dec 1983, SD 166. 2thid; Point Paper @BME Col webb, APIS/INR, “Hostage Survival Training,” 17 Bec 82, SB tt.

be bes DIRECTORATE OF SOVIET AYYAIRS MIssior The mission of the Directorate of Soviet Affairs (INC), headquartered in Building 520 on Ralling AFB. was to carry out the U.S. Air Force Soviet Awareneaa Program, which was designed to keep each member of the Air Porce informed and aware of Soviet doctrine, strategy, tactics, force structure, and combat employ~ ment. PERSONNEL Col. George V. Wish continued to head the directorate, @ position he held aince 1 October 1980. het. Col. William C.

236 Area Specialist Quota Yn July, Colonel Wish requested that the agreement between his directorate and the Directorate of Attache Affaire (INA) he re-established with the Directorate of Personnel (PP), when OP assumed responsibility fer tha Area Specialiat Program from YNH, ‘he agreement identified one officer per year for entry inte the Area Specialist Program for training as a Soviet ares specialist. Upon completion of training, the officer would receive follow-on assignment to the Soviet Awareness program. Colonel Wish stated, “If we can maintain this source of personnel, dt will greatly alleviate some of the problems we have experienced in aseiqning fully qualified officers to the Directorate of Soviet Affaics. “1 ‘The colonel explained that his directorate would continue to look for its own nominee, but would also like to review these who had already applied ta the Area Speciaitst Program. Should bia directorate‘s nominee not be selected by the board for the program, he requested that his directorate etili have the opportunity to interview the selectees and to identify one for a follew~on assignment to Soviet Affaire.* The directorate did not receive s formal reply from DP, because the new temporary head of the program, Major Robert PR. Airaghi, was not able to formeliy allocate a quota of one aiot to the Directorate of Soviet Affaire. The major was able and wiliinag to cooperate with INC in other ways, some maggested by INC, to work to ensure that highly qualified individuals were assigned to Soviet Affairs.? Soviet Awareness as "Breeding Ground” Over the years, Soviet Awarenesa had become 4 “breeding ground” for future attaches and a follow-on assignment for post- attache duty. A former Soviet Awareness director returmed from Moscow in 1993, after having been the air attache there for two years. Yormer team memhers were serving in defense attache officea in Belgrade and Sofia, Another former teas member and an executive officer were slated to report to Moscow in July 1984. One current team member had served an attache tour in Moscow, as did a former division chief. The current executive officer and another former team member were selected for duty in Moscow an Bagiat 1986. In addition, the directorate was a source for qualified personnel to work in the demanding environment of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission in Fotsdam, East Germany.4 ‘ity Q@B. aPIS/INc to AFIS/OP, "Annual Quota for Soviet Area Spectaliat Program,” 5 Jul 83, SD 187. 2rpia. 3conversation QM APIS Historian w.

137 Requests for Additional Manpower In November, Soviet Affairs submitted two new initiative requests for the fiscal year 1966-1990 joint programing/oudget data call. The firet request was for three officer positions to enable the Soviet Awareness team to achieve a two-team capability. According to the requirement description, the current authorization of twelve officers was insufficient to field two six-man teams. Team personnel had to alwaya be available to schedule deployments, to coordinate vieits with the major commands and bases, to review and establish curricula, to set up special presentations, and to conduct training programs for new personnel. The three additional positions were to fulfill these management duties and were already validated by the Air Force's Management Engineering and Analysis Division in the fiscal year 1984 Program Objective Memorandum. The justification stated, “We are almost one year behind schedule with the Soviet Awareness Road Show: in Cy 83 we will have visited 20 bases which had previously hosted the Soviet Awareness Team. Only 5 of these bases were’ briefed before in CY80, which means that our deployment schedule has indeed slipped towaré a four year interval between visits. Given this slippage, due to manpower constraints, in exposing active Air Porce members to Soviet Awareness, we lack the wherewithal to honor numerous requests by Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve units who would be delighted to host our eight~hour Road Show. Thus we are not able to contribute to the Total Force Concept whose very relevancy would be substantially enhanced by the unique training conducted by Soviet Awarenegs. “ The second initiative requested one additional manpower slot for the Literature Research Division, in order to continue publication of AFRP 200-1, "Soviet Press Selected Translations,“ at its current length and quality, According to the requirement description, AFRP 200-1 served a readership of approximately 6,000, ranging from academics to senior intelligence analysts to unit intelligence officers. Material for the publication was originally compiled, translated, edited, and published by two first lieutenants, one of whose billets was on loan, while the other was deleted at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 1983, Since that time one captain and one civilian GS-7 accomp~ iighed ail the work on a temporary basis. Maintaining APRP 200-4 at its current length of 40-44 pages per issue, 6 iseues per year. was a two-person job, If the additional slot was net funded there 11 APIS/INC te APIS/#, "FY¥B6-90 Joint Programming/Budget Data Call," 3 Wow 83, SDB 186; Narrative Justification for New Initiative QM. aFIs/INCR, PE Code 847520, “Two Soviet Awareness Teams," 3 Nov 63, 5D 189.

Colonel Wish had informed him that the building was to be vacated by the 21st Air Force NCO Leadership School and by units of the 1100th Air Base Wing, and that his directorate would welcome the move from the crowded and noisy Building 520. In justifying the move, the ACS/I stated. "Adequate office space would be provided for both divisions in the directorate. The auditorium already in place in Bldg 1304 could be wodified to accommodate 100 seats vice the 70 in Bldg S20. It is also a larger more attractive room, thus more conducive es a learning medium for our objective of awareness. Naturally more personnel would be able to attend our courses. Sur Russian source research facility which has burgeoned to over 10,000 volumes would have suitable space to permit more effective use by analysts throughout the intelligence commmnity. 2 A decision from the Programs and Resources unit was expected in early 1984. SOVIET AWARENESS PROGRAM This year there were no major revisions in the curriculum of the Soviet Military Power Week presentation nor in the one-day eight-hour Soviet Military Power Day presentation, the latter given at Air Force bases around the world, and referred to ae the *Road Show." There was, however, a continuous upgrading of the 35 ms slides and video clips to ensure the currency of presentations. The four themes which characterize Russian (pre 1917) and Soviet (post 1917} history continued to be highlighted: 4) ideology, the importance of a shared belief system, 2) Gespotism, the command and control of society from Moscow where power was centralized, 3} modernization, the need to overcome iner QM.

Road Show Presentation Declined Although the audience for the Soviet Awareness presentations was diverse, it was algo limited and restricted. in March, the operations manager for security, safety, and health at the TRW, Inc. at Redondo, California, wrote to Colonel Wish requesting that the Road Snow be presented at hia facility because he thought it was an “extremely effective course covering the hostile intelligence threat" and would be of value to his company, @ Department of Defense contractor, in its awareness effort. Colonel Wish had to inform the manager that he could not schedule & presentation at the facility. Be explained that the Soviet Awareness team did not schedule programs for contractors or any non-Department of Cefense organization except by the direction of the assistant chief of staff, intelligence, for the U.S. Air Force. Contractors directly employed by the Department of the Air Force, however, were eligible to attend Soviet Awareness presentations at Air Parce Anstallations.2 Presentation at Vandenberg AFA The Soviet Awareness presentation at Vandenberg AFE.

He was especially eager to have the team address the people under his command because they formed one of the few organizations in the Air Force which intercepted Soviet aircraft on a recurring basis. They had in April already intercepted 40 such aircraft since the start of the year. The team briefed 640 people in the classified program and 66 who attended the evening unclassified program. Some of these in attendance were Navy personnel who performed antisubmarine warfare operations from Keflavik.? ; USSR Orientation Visit Cancelled One week before directorate personnel were to leave for & one~week orientation visit to the Soviet Gnion, the Soviets refused to issue entry visas, thue causing the cancellation of the trip in 1963. The trip had been planned for six months with the defense attache officers in Moscow; Sophia, Bulgaria: and Belsinki, Finland. The itinerary was to enter the USSR via rail from Helsinki, then to tour Leningrad 28-30 June: depart for Moscow via rail the night of 30 dune and tour Mescow 1-7 July and depart Moscow via air for Sophia the sarning of @ July.

On 15 and 16 February Captain Catherine Roeder from Norton, the film's producer, discussed Soviet history, ideology, people, and geography with Soviet Awareness staff members. * In June, the Soviet Awareness staff reviewed and eritiqued the movie script. A major objection fecussed on the linking of American nuclear freeze advocates with direct Soviet invelvement and manipulation of the ‘freeze movement.” On this subject, the script was rewritten and film edited. Another objection concerned the use of “Soviet Awareness” as the title of the fila.

he a sd during Maj. Gen. George Keegan's tenure as director of Air Force Intelligence.' General Abel etated the following: The Air Force has sot suspended publication of these translations. and, in fact, the office whose responsibility {t is to produce these books has added two other continuing publications to its output: another book series that serves as a vehicle for Weatern students of Soviet military affaizs and s periodical devoted to a detailed study of Soviet military terminology. You will be interested to note that the most yecent item in the new series is 4 two-volume collection of Soviet military writings compiied in part by Joseph PD. Douglass, when Mx. Crozier mentions as “one of the best informed American students of Soviet war doctrine. "2 Crozier replied by stating, in part: General Abel's letter is perhaps technicaily accurate, but it is also seriously misleading.... U.S, 1 After General Keegan's departure as head of Air Force Intelligence, publication of translated Seviet texts did continue, but a} was reduced to 4 trickle; and b) consisted for the most part of low-grade material of no great interest. 2. The reason for pretext} for this dramatic change was the Soviets’ decision in 1973, to adhere to the Universal Copyright Convention. (The important material previously published had all heen issued before 1373). The reason, it may be ventured, was to avoid giving offense to the Soviets in the interest of detente. In fact, as General James Lb. Brown, who succeeded General Keegan, has stated, publication of post-1973 texts could have bean made on a restricted “government- only basis," but this option seems to have been very sparingly used. An important example of Soviet use of the copyright weapon was Moscow's refusal in March 1977 tea a llow the USAF to publish Admiral Gorshkov'sa book Sea Power of the State.’ Crozier's inex, photocopy.

DIRECTORATE OF ATTACHE AFFAINS MISSION AND DEFENSE ATTACHE SYSTEM The principal mission of the Directorate of Attache Affairs (IN3} was to develop capabilities for Air Porce participation in the Sefense Attache System (DAS}, te monitor performance and resuits of that participation, and to exercise general cognizance over Air Force aspects of the attache program. The Defense Attache System was a joint military service activity. which since 1965 operated under direct control of the Defense Intelligence Agency. In 1983 the distribution of positions in the system was as follows:1 U8, Service Ro, of Positions Percentage of DAS ARMY 260 44% AIR FORCE 392° 324 NAVY 319 20% MARINE CORPS 28 4s 596 190% *This figure includes 7 positions authorized by the DIA, but net yet on the AFIS/INH authorization list. There were 92 defense attache offices around the world, and because some attaches were accredited to more than one nation, they had responsibility for over 100 countries. The Air Force positions in the DAS were assigned to 61 embassies, in 2+ countries, the air attache was also the senior service attache and was designated the “defense“ attache, commonly referred to as the DATT, Defense attaches who were Air Force officers served in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Honduras, Israel, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Soviet Union, Sweden, Thailand. Turkey, Venezuela, and Yugoslavia, In three countries, Brazil, China, and the Soviet Union, the DATT position was filled by an Aix Force officer for 2 of every 6 years.? tyme detailed INH mission statement is found in AFISR 23-1 + 5 dul 82, Section M, SD 2; Brfg Paper @, “Air Attache Briefing,” AFIS/INH, Jan 846. pp S-6, 5D 219.

iso The positions Air Force personnel were assigned to in the DAS were defense attache (DATT), air attache {AIRA}, assistant air attache {AAIRA}, operations coordinator {(OPSCQ}~-similar to the NCOIC position--intelligence aagistant, and mechanic. Civilians were sometimes {ntelligence assistants or secretaries! Nev Positions In 1983, the DIA established three officer positions within the attache system to be filled by Air Force personnel: defense attache in the United Kingdom. air attache in E1 Salvador, and assistant air attache in the Peoplea Republic of China. Also. the DIA awitched two enlisted intelligence assistant positions from London to South Africa and Korea. Thia occurred because the DIA reorganized the enlisted staff in London in order to have one intelligence assistant from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, instead of three from the Air Force. The defense attache in London had requested the changes in order te provide the office tri-service expertise in the support areas,?

Personnel from the directorate also briefed students about the defense attache system who were attending the Air War College, Air Command and Staff College, Squadron Officer School, Air Porce Academy, and Air Force NCO academies. ! SELECTION PANELS 2 The Air Force was the only military service which used panele during the process of selecting personnel for nomination to the DIA and the attache system. The director of Attache Affairs, Colonel Steinmiller, believed that the panels were worth their expense because the Air Force had fewer people recalled from embassies than the other services, since the panels enabled the Aix Force to select and send individuals of the highest caliber.? The officer panels consisted of six members: the chairman, who was the deputy assistant chief of staff for intelligence Or his designated representative, sand a representative from the Defense Intelligence Agency. The attache directorate brought the potential attache and spouse to Washington to appear before the pelection panel, the purpose of which was to determine if the husband and wife could work as a professional team and creditably represent the 0.8. government, the secretary of defense, the secretary of the Air Force, and the ambassador, while acting independently in a highly visible official and social mileau.

As a rule, each attache attended a twelve-week attache course at the Defense Inteliigence College in Washington, D.C. Spouses were encouraged to attend the entire course and to join tours and sttend seminars conducted by the State Department. When necessary, an attache and spouse attended a five to ten-month language course. Some attaches required additional specialized training, which dncluded training with the C-12 sircraft. In those countries where the givernment was considering the purchase or had already purchased a certain gircraft, such as the P-S, F+!5, ox F+i6, the directorate arranged a series of specialized briefings with the system's project officer and with factory representatives at the production line. The attache also attended a series of specialized briefings and consultations with the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Air Staff in the Pentagon. tintww @Ygy.

Every six months, January and July, approximately ten students were sent. ‘he academic phase of the program lasted twelve months. Language training then followed, conducted by the Defense Language Inatitute, which lasted from six to twelve months, depending on the difficulty of the language. Upon completion of language training, the officers were awarded masters degrees in national security affaire.2 The directorste funded a guest lecture program at the Naval Postgraduate School, which enrolled attache designates. There were 43 speakers in 1983 {some repeats) costing $8. 270.3 2 Because of the critical impertance of language fluency to the attache mission, the directorate funded a language tutorial program for the designates. In 1983, languages were tutored for 326 hours at a total cost of $4,564, an average expenditure of $14 per hour. The languages were: Hebrew, & weeks; Portuguese, 7 weeks; Japanese, 20 weeks; Italian, 7 weeks: German, 7 weeks: Chinese Mandarin, 16 weeks; and Brazilian, 3 weeks.4 AIR ATTACHE MISSIONS Attache Affairs was located within APIS, hecause 38 primary wission of an attache was the overt collection of intelligence information.

This was a program whereby tasteful yet inexpensive items were given to individuals, organizations, or groups who were in positions to assist in aeveloping social contacts. The name was changed for two reasons: 4} The program was limited to air attaches and was aot an Air Force program as the first name indicated and 2) Air Porce Regulation 200-4 provided definitions for “repregentational gifte™ and “incentive supplies” and the latter term more appropriately described the attache use of the items.> SUPPORT ON STATION More than a dozen times, the directorate provided RUPPO; to the attaches on atation, assisting them with inewsletter, Attache AFfairg, AFIS/ING, Jul a3, p 1, SD 234. 2tbid., Dec BI, SP 2357 3Inquiry Reaponse s.

Unauthorized Diaclosure Subcommittee, and Compartmentation Subcommittee, 2 REORGANXZATION The directorate underwent reorganization in 1983, the main rasulte being the following:3 4. The elimination of the INSA division, Collateral Security and Adtiiniatrative Support. 2. The establishment of two branches within the Personnel Security Oivision (INSH}: For Cause/Due Process Branch end the Adjudication Branch. 3. The establishment of three branches within the Special Security Office, HQ USAF {INSD}: Special Education, SCI Product Vali-dation, and Special Security Operations, The rearganization occurred over a period of montha and had multiple caugation. The ACS/I directed that the INSA division, Collateral Security and Administrative Support, be eliminated, and when this was done, some of the division's functions were distributed to the operational control of AF/IN. Thia presented an opportunity for the directorate to work closely with the AFIS Manpower Office to formally atructure the director~ ate inte divisions and branches and te have these and associated *See also Chapter VII, INSPECTOR GENERAL, “Special Inquiry.” **hecording to DOD $206.1-R, 7 Bec 82, sensitive compartmented information waa defined ag that information and material that required special controle for reatricted handling within compart-mented intelligence systems and fer which coOttpartientation was established. ‘Whe detailed INS mission statement is found in APISR 23-1 WR ts 501 62, Section K, $0 2. 2intww QB APIS Historian wv.

Prior to this time, the directorate's manpower documentation showed only positions and personnel with no formal structural organization. Within the directorate, however, wuch structures as divisions and branches @id oexiat, but unofficially. It was an appropriate time, too, to conalder and dmplement recommendations from a study of the Personnel Security Division (INSA}, by the Manpower Office in 1982.1 On 26 May, the INSA division was eliminsted.? Effective 9 November, the Personnel Security Division was restructured into three branches: 1) Adjudication with three sections, A, B, and C, each with its own chief: 2} Billet Management, with two sections, Billet Management and Data Antomation, and 3} Por Cauae and Due Process.3 Within the Management Division (INSC), the three branches of the organizational structure remained basicaliy the game as in 1982: Policy Branch, Administrative Support Sranch, and Facilities Branch. The position of division deputy chief, however, was established in June 1983 to provide greater coordination of actions between the Policy Branch and the Facilities Branch. In August, the title of the position was changed to “operations officer” to provide a more descriptive, functional position title.4 . \-4 Finally the reorganized INSD division consisted of three branches.

Air Force Anecdotal Cases The Air Force contributed four anecdotal cages to the subcomnittee’s report. The cases were ag follows:} & t, EXAMINEE STATUS/CLEARANCE: TYPE OF INVESTIGATION: Active duty military/TS-SCE Espionage INFORMATION AVAILABLE: Information was received from another agency that an individual was in contact with a hostile intelligence agency. A lengthy investigation, which in¢luded visual surveillance failed to verify the information. When. interviewed the individual denied any contact with any non-US intelligence agency individuals. The individusl agreed to a polygraph examination. POLYGRAPH RESULTS: Deception indicated by the individual when he denied contact with, passing information te, and receiving money from a hostile intelligence service, NOTE: The individual subsequently admitted initiating contach with a hostile intelligence service, collecting an extremely large number of highly classified documenta, and paasing those documenta to the hostile agency in exchange for a relatively smal] amount of money, = IX.

175 POLYGRAPH RESULTS: Examinations of a large number cof military and civilian employees reaulted in deception by aniy ane employee. NOTE: Subsequent to the polygraph testing, the employee admitted passing classified information to several uncleared friends. H) III. EXAMINER STATUS/CLEARANCE: Active Duty Military/SCcI TYPE OF INVESTIGATION: Espionage INFORMATION AVAILABLE: Information was received that an individual was in contact with the embassy of s hostile country. An investigation which included lengthy and complex surveillance failed to disclose any real evidence of espionage activity: however, many espionage indicators were noted. During an interview the individual denied any contact with any hostile agencies or individuals, and denied any eapionage activity. The individual agreed to take a polygraph examination. POLYGRAPH RESULTS: A lengthy series of polygraph exam- inations resulted in indications of deception concerning contact with a hostile agency, and passage of classified material to hostile agencies. The individual admitted initiating contact with a hostile intelligence agency, collecting a large amount of highly classified material, and passage of that material to the hostile agency in exchange for money. All polygraph resuits were verified hy the individual's admission of guilt. NOTE: Polygraph examinations were used in this inatance to determine not only whether the individual was engaged in espionage, but to determine the type and amount of information he had passed, BXAMINEE STATUS CLEARANCE: Active Duty Military/SCI TYPE OF INVESTIGATION: Espionage INFORMATION AVAILABLZ: Information was received from a senior military officer that one of his subordinates may have passed classified information to a member of a hostile intelligence service. During the initial interview by the investigating agency, Subject admitted passing one piece of classified information to the hostile country representative, but denied any other disclosures. The individual agreed to take a polygraph examination. POLYGRAPH RESULTS: Examination showed deception in the individual's response when he denied passing other information to the representative of the hostile country.
176 The individual subsequently admitted passing a number of classified items ta the aame = hostile country representative. NOTE: Further investigation verified the representative was a member of hie country's intalligence service. Re tion of Periodic Reinvestigations On 1? April, the Defenae Investigative Service (DIS} resumed conducting Periodic Reinvestigations {PR} of Specfal Back ground Investigations. In June 1981, the service had stopped such investigations, termed SSI “Bring-Ups,” which were required by the Director of Cantral Intelligence Directive 1/14. The reinvestigationa were stopped to enable investigators to concentrate on and complete background investigations and special background investigations. Since 1981, the Defense Tavestigative Service was able to hire and train enough new investigators ta absorb the periodic reinvestigation workload. & In all essentials, the new periodic reinvestigations vere handled as were the old ones. The involvement of the Air Force Special Security Office was lLimited-~in most locations consisting of identification of persons due for reinvestigation. There was no screening interview conducted by supervisors, commanders, and Special Security Offices. Once the case was opened, a trained agent from the Defense Investigative Service conducted the interview. Overseas, an agent from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations did the interviewing. The reinvestigation included a National Agency Check, two developed character references, lecal agency checks, a credit’ check, and employment checks.? As of 31 December, the directorate‘s Personnel Security Branch had adjudicated 850 SBi-PRs and denied continued SCI access ta 1 individual as a result of derogatory information contained in the PR.

The test did not change the requirement for the major commands to validate billet requests from the field nor did it obviate the need for field unita to accomplish proper staffing to insure the billete were necessary. To assist users in understand- ing the billet procesa, the directorate was rewriting regulation USAFINTEL 201-t, Chapter 12, which dealt with ScI billet manage- ment. 4 System New formate were used on all billet structures under~ taken during the year go that they were in a form compatible with the Commnity~wWide Computer Assisted Compartmented Control System (40), The Central Intelligence Agency directed that this inforna~ tion be waed in order to offer a coherent approach throughout the intelligence comunity to managing SCI pillere and recording SCI access e@ligibility data. ft was to include a historical file containing 4 person’s complete access history, such aa the date each person who was with the Air Force was indoctrinated and then @ebriefed for each SCY coupartment.?

183 Draft DOD Directive C+5200.xx @ The Air Force, in concert with SCI security officials from ie Defense Intelligence Agency {DIA} and other military departments, jointly worked on writing Department of Defense ( DOD} fizvective C-5200."x, which was to replace two obsolete directives from 1965 and 1967 and to establish uniform policy and guidance on the security and administration of the DOD SCI programs, The significant changes included the assigning of specific responsi-~ bilities to the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the military departmente for the implementation, direction, management, coordination, and control of DOD sensitive compartmented information programs. The military departments (MILDEPs} were also given authority. in lieu of the DIA, to accredit SCI facilities (SCIFS} for sensitive compartmented information at the SI/TK/B levels. The departments up to then had only SI accreditation authority. This was a majer concession by the DIA, which assumed an overaight role, and it consolidated accreditation authority at the MILDEP level, restricting further delegation, Both MILDEF and DIA security officiais had been concerned about SCI security practices at the Service Cryptologic Elements and the dilution of MILDEP SCI span of controt.3 ‘rte. 2rpia. 3prsus Col Huey, AFIS/INS, “Draft DOD Directis..

185 Use of SCI in ACSC Curriculum In December, the directorate granted authority to the Air Command and Staff Coliege (ACSC) to begin incorporating sensitive compartmented information into its curriculum. The original Air University (AU) request, however. had been tamed down because it involved the entire ACSC student body, without xegard for actual or potential “need-to-know" requirements. ac was told that a modified concept satisfying valid requirements through a combination of curricula in the electives and Tailored Instructional Program (TIP) would be considered. ? The modified AU concept was patterned after the Air War College program for integrating SCI into the curriculuz. The program was limited to those officers who had already been indoctrinated for SCI access and who expected to be invelyed with SCI materials in their next agsignment.? Whe modified concept and the basic education philosophy for ACSC were thorov sly discussed among the Directorate of Security and Communications Management, the Directorate of Intelligence Plans and Systems, and trs Directorate of Space. It was determined that the decision to limit access to selected students was not in the best interests of the Air Force, insofar as the preparation of Air Porce battle managers was concerned.3 When the directorate approved the incorporation of SCI dnto fe ACSC curriculum, it also steted that the Aix Staff believe? that Adr University should seriously consider incorporation of the following into future ASCS policy:4 4.

The Pirst class was held in August, and future classes were to be offered once a quarter, starting in January 1984.7 Discontinuance of Off-Line PCS a& The directorate conducted a survey of the use of the Air Force Off-Line Privacy Communications System in early 1983. This was a secondary and back-up system to the primary Defense Special Security Communication System used by senior intelligence officers. The survey revealed that the off-line system rarely had been used in the last two and onen~half years; in fact, it was last used for operational off-line messages in 1981 by only 2 of 34 users. Noting this, the directorate, which was the office of primary responsibility for the system, discontinued its operation in July. The lack of its use was due to the high reliability and quality of the primary system? tHisterical Data Rprt .

A total of 74 sensitive compartmented information facilities {(SCI¥s} were visited, representing 30 percent of the tetal number of such facilities in the Air Fozee SCIP syste. There ware 14 Special Security Offices included within the total, representing 40 percent of the APSSO system, Aliso, 11 Contractor Special Security Offices (CSSOs} and SCIFs were visited, representing 25 percent of the total number of CSE facilities. Additional trips were conducted te provide training, orientation, ecmmference support, and special assistance. Assistance for the Korean COIC Personnel from the directorate contributed approximately 250 manchours assisting the engineers at the 60 percent design phase of the Xorean Combat Operations Intelligence Center (COIC) to be constructed at Osan Air Base, Korea. 8y the directorate's participation in the design phase, compliance with phygical security standards was more asgured.2 Statistics Reports disclosed thst there were 134 SCI security ainciéents or violations during 1983.

SURVEY OF MAC SUPPORT In January, two captains from Headquarters, Military Airiift Command (MAC), Intelligence, wisited the AFIS compound and requested expanded AFIS reservist support to MAC reserve flying units in order to compensate for active force manning shortages. Six AFIS detached training units were located at MAC bases. The
204 AFIS directorate prepared a survey of all intelligence support provided to MAC in 1982, for MAC to use in determining how the BTSs could further expand their services. OTS 5 at MeChord AYE waa already planning to intensify and expand intelligence support to the 446th Military Airlift Wing (Associate}. The support was to daclude the training of additional duty squadron intelligence officers. The directorate worked with the OfSs to reschedule their training weekenda to coordinate them with the timea that MAC flying units trained. Selected intelligence reserviata also wart scheduled to meet periodically with MAC reservists. ! EXERCISES Lard The directorate undertook action this year to censclidate guidance given to the reservist about their mobilization readiness and field readiness asseaqmenta, the latter being tnspections of readiness of individual reservists conducted by area directora or by staff from the directorate. On 15 November, Operating Instruction 281, “War Planning - Individual Mobilization Responsibilities and Field Readiness Assesaments,” was published and superseded various policy letters and memoranda written in previous years. The instruction described nine areas for which the reservists were responsible: 1} uniforms, 2) chemical biological warfare training/equipment, 3) pre«mohiliza~ tion actions, 4) mobilization day data, 5} personal affairs, 6} immunizations, and 7} mobilization/travel instructions.?

PRESSURE POINT Exercise Tne PRESSURE POINT Exercise originated at the leve? of the joint chiefs of ataff€, and for the RE directorate involved che largest number of reservists than any other exercise during the year. it occurred in November. The directorate was to conduct + full telephone alert and a comprehensive test ef the ADPS/Maligran mobilization of reservists who were assigned in the continental United States and overseas.? In the directorate’s after-action report, Colonel Obers* stated that the exercise “went exceedingly well.” Performance in the telephone alert achieved a 94.5 percent contact rate exceeding the 93 percent rate in exercise PROUD SABER 92. Using preformatted messages, the directorate tested 4 new alert notification system for contacting dispersed overseas members, which resulted in a “drastic” improvement over the older contact method. The total contact rate was 96 percent, the highest rate ever achieved. The directorate, however, was unable to test the mailgram system because the Air Reserve Personnel Center would not furnish computer support. Also, 0 mobilization throug progressive levels vas exercised because according to the exercise Scenario there was to be partial mobilisation at the start of the exercise. One recurrent problem was noted: the dietribution of message traffic, thie ares showed improvement over PROUD SABER 82, but still required refinements.2 One assessment of participation in the exerciee by major command intelligence units concluded that some of the comands “fargot“ that they had reservists available to recall, One month Yappendix 2 to Annex A to APIS EXPLAN 0024 QM} AFIS/RE, 15 Sep 3, $0298; Historical Data Rprt QM APIS/RE.

JOINTEX 83 Detached Training Site 47, Fort Belvoir, planned and hosted a joint interregatian exercise for members of DTS f, HeQuire APB, DTS 6, Dover AFB, and OFS 21, Fort Belvoir, ‘the exercise was a shortened version of the Advanced’ Interrogation Course offered annually at the Los Alamitos Armed Forcea Reserve Center in California, under the sponsorship of the AVIS/ME. It entailed «4 major revision and extensive rewriting of the operations plan used in the advanced course, including a major overhasling of 27 of the roles used. The result was an overall cperattons plan of 306 pages, ali of which was produced by members of DTS 47, ‘The plan was to be aged by other DTSs beginning in 1984 as the model for similar exercises througkout the program, TRAINING Training for the reservists incloded sessions and work performed at detached training sites and assignment toe special duty tours and cperational readiness exercises. The reservists were assigned a 12 to 14 day annual training tour plus 12 days of paid inactive duty yearly. Inactive duty training was usually performed at detached training sites, and training in excess ef 32 days was performed voluntarily for retirement points only. To the extent possible, training conducted during the 12 days of inactive duty was related to wartite proficiency by providing services or developing products for user commands. Annual tours were performed by each reservist at hig or her M«day command, which the reservist would augment when mobilized. Taska assigned during these tours provided experiance in wartime skills.

Intelligence Officer APSC Conversions On 7 November, major revisions to Air Force Regulation 16-1 went into effect and “drastically increased training vequirementa" for the reservists. The training section performed a akudy of the impact of the revisions and conversions of Air Fores Specialty Codes and used the atady resuita aa background material for participants in the Intelligence Reserve Porces Conference held 17-19 November.t The findings of the study revealed that jast over 67 percent of the officers were fully qualified, Of the 33 percent not fully qualified, over half were only waiting time for upgrade and had completed in-residence training. The findings revealed that the canveratons would have a minimum impact on training in the APIS/RE program, Until new resident courses were designed and implemented according to the revised regulation, existing courses were to he used for upgrade for those who had not had in-residence training. The study also showed that of the new apecialty codes requiring other prerequisite codes, less than 10 percent of the net-fully qualified members held the prerequisite codes. 2 Retrainability of 702%0s The topic of retraining reservists in the administrative 702¥0 specialty code was a “hot issue" among the enlisted reservists. For a number of months, personnel in those positions had heard that the major commands were considering the elimination of 702X0 reservist positiona. That being the case, many would want to retrain inte another fteld, but reservists were not normaily allowed to retrain. With no retraining, the 702X%06 would be forced to leave the reserve program,3 J In anticipation of a MANREQ-~FORSIZE exercise, which equid have deleted up to ninety 762K0 reservist positions from the APIS/RE manning documant, the directorate'’s training action conducted a preliminary review of 70220 retrainability.

209 noted an improvement in the content of intelligence reperts sent from the DTSa, showing a more thorough quastioning of sources and the substantiation of information gathered. New scenarios emphasizing hostile interrogation were added to the exercise inventory to build profictency in prisoner-of-war axploitation,* One reservist, whe had practical experience in interrogating a wide range of sources, wrote 4 paper entitied, “The Confidence Level of the Interrogator." The chief of the Readiness Branch, Raiph Whitebergh, had extensive discussions with the author ebout the paper as it was being written and sent copies of it to the commanders of the DTSs, stating, “i believe this monograph 18 worthy of study and disonssion and more importantly, At ia owerthy of practical experimentation in your DIS Anterrogetion exercises." Concerning the concept of “confidence* as the focus of the paper. thea author stated, “This theme was selected after careful analysis of ail the factors contributing to successful interrogation, This theme continually surfaced when discussing this paper with other interrogators who have conducted hundreds of interrogations of seruces from various backgrounds. It also seemed most significant in analyzing my own exprience of interregating sources from many foreign countries representing broad differences based upon culture, education, occupation, age, intelligence and coming from many 4ifferent social and political ideologies. "2 To boost the HUMINT state of the art, the directorate and Detached Training Site 47 jointly developed a postgraduate level interrogation seminar featuring sophisticated methodology selected from the special interrogation course of the Laboratory fer Scientific Interrogarion, Tel Aviv. The four-day seminar was designed for officers in charge of HUMINT training and advanced train#es at the detached training sites. The seminar was expected te begin in the fall of 1984, be attended by ten to twelve people per class, and include the topics "detection of deception” and “psychology of interrogation."3 Foreign Language Training The directorate continued to offer language specialists two training options each year: three scattered weekends of “total immersion” in a language at a detached training site or two selid weeks of training at the Defense Language Institute at Monterey, California. The total immersion technique waa two years oid, and participants who spoke the same language met on an sasigned weekend at a designated aite and talked exclusively in the common foreign language, ususiiy being Russian, Chinese, Iwisterical Oata Rect GMA Arts /RE, Jen-Dec 83, SD 292. 2tbias Ltr Wy APIS/REOR, R Whitehergh, to DPS/CCs, "The Confidence Level of the Interrogator,” 6 Dec @3, with Atch "The Confidence Level of the Interrogator QM APIS/RE, sp 302.

Their assessments of the techniques’ wre positive. APIS/RE flight 44 in Monterey waa charged with managing the RE foreign language program, and it sponsored the workshop.? Revised Lan: Skill Ratin: The Defense Language Institute revised the foreig language skill rating system within the Oepartment of Defense to bring it into Line with the system used by the Foreign Service Inatitute and the Central Intelligence Agency, and this action affected approximately ninety reservists. The tougher rating system resulted in lower proficiency and spoken language test acores. Test scores generally were lowered by one point. For example, a person who qualified for entry into the AFIS/RE language program by scoring L2-R2 on the DLPT and 2 om the spoken language test would have his scores lowered to LieRt and +t respectively. Minimm skill level xequirements in the directorate's Operating Instruction SO-2 were modified accordingly. The new rating system was to be taken inte consideration when the progreas was maagured of the reservists who participated in total immersion and tutorial training.? WORKSHOPS There were four workshops for area directors and commanders of the detached training sites this year: January 29-39 Western Area and Central Area March 19-20 Northeast Area and National Capital Area April 16-17 Southeast Area June 4-5 Pacific Area and Southwest Area The respective area directors chaired the workshops, which provided a forum for commanders of the detached training sites to review areas of masiagement, operations, and personnel policies.

Participants were General Green, directorate staff members, the seven area directora, and the six mettbers of the Soard of Advisors. The workshop was «a forum for discussing items of mutual concern among the leadera of the program and for reviewing accotplishments and determining management objectives for the forthcamiag year.2 An area enlisted advisors workshop was held on April 23- 24 at Fort Belvoir, Thie was the first auch workshop in nearly five years, Issues pertaining te enlisted personnel in the seven areas vere discussed and information exchanged. 3 ADMINISTERING THE RE PROGRAM Use of Lowry SATO On 1 March, the Air Reserve Personnel Center implemented new rules governing reservist airline ticketing procedures. The directorate agreed with the basic principal which prompted the changed rules, but disagreed with the one rule which required that all airline ticketing for reservists be handled through the Scheduled Airlines Traffic Office {SATO} at Lowry AFB, Colorado, where the Air Reserve Perscnnel Center was located. Prior to the hew rule, individual reservists scheduled their own flights at local government SATO offices around the country. The mandatory use of the Lowry office, according te Colonel Oberst, caused major personal and professional disruptions, negatively affected the credibility of the program with active force major commands and special operating agencies, and adversely affected reservist morale. The telephoning burden placed upon the directorate staff and reservists was excessive. Further, many 6 were frustrated at receiving last minute, expensive, Special/Federal Express delivery of airline tickets sometimes on the day prior to the start of the tour, only to find the flight accommodations inconvenient and more expensive than need have been. Colonel Oberat stated, “The trade- off of cost ve loss of credibility is counterproductive to our wmatual goals. While the foregoing may be viewed as ‘temporary growing pains,’ the altexnate payoffa involving individual morale, professional responsibility, and the personai convenience of making one's om airline reservations through government facilities have considerable merit." ‘For replies from the directorate on questions raised at the workshops, see 5D 303. 2intww QM AFIS distorian wv.

212 The colonel suggested that instead of requiring the pandatery ticket proceas that the personnel canter aimply fssue guidelines for the reserviatss to follow when schedaling thelr own flighta. He urged that the center modify the mandatary Lowry SATO ticketing procedure. 1 Tn response, the personnel center stated, “We have decided that for the sake of flexibility we should allow the individual member to make his own arrangements through local SATO offices 1f they notify us of their fntention on the AF Form 1289. We will cut the ordera as. ‘TR Oirected’. and mail them to the member vithout a ticket. The member must then take the orders to a local TMO/SATO office to obtain his ticketa. We will contioue ta constructively establish reporting and departure times, which will govern payment for travel daye.*? Recruiting The directorate's Manning Branch conducted 4 nationwide recruiting campaign that resulted in a 26 percent increase in applications over 1982. Recurring Aiz Force Intelligence Reserve advertisements in the Air Reservist Magazine were supplemented by periodic entries in the Journal of Zlectronic Defense and the Air Force Magazine. Selected issues of Pacific Southwest Airlines Magazine, Republic Airlines Scene Magazine, Continental Airlines Magazine, and Ozark Airlines Magazine caxried the recmiiting advertisements throughout the nation. Pield-developed camera- ready copies of Air Force~approved advertisements were sent to the Reserve Recruiting Advertising Branch, Seadquartera Air Force Reserve, for reformatting and inclusien in the 1984 Advertising Handbook for Air Force-wide Reserves recruiter use. Reservists in the program continued .thefx lecal. recruiting advertising initiatives by the use of newspapers, daily oduileting, and other publications. POM Submission The Readiness Branch, in coordination with the AFIS plans and program# unit; wrote a Program Objective Memprandun (POM) submission, which projected gains {n the number of reservists from PY¥1966 through FYI990. These figures were crucial since funding for reservists was based on the actual number of xeservists on hand and not an the number of authorizations. The goal waa to achieve 100 percent manning by the end of Fri990.

The overall conclusion of the report stated: Management in all three intelligence IMA programs was making intensive efforts to improve capabilities and personnel strengths. AFIS had implemented aggressive recruiting efforts and initiated a project to improve the quality and utility of IMA training and {ntelligence projects. AFSC's program at the Foreign Technology Division and ESC's IMA training with assigned active duty wartime unite was effective in preparing IMAs for wartime tasks. In ali three prograws, IMAs were prepared for rapié mobilization. For example, mandatory premobilization personnel actions (immunizations, physicals, and skill level/position requirement matching} were current and cotiplete. Aucmentees performed annual training with their assigned active duty units aes required. However, opportunities did exist to improve the effectiveness of reserve personnel through increased management attention tot 4) APIS-manageéd and ESC-managed inactive duty training at detached training aites and 2) IMA position vacancies.4 @wo major issues were discussed in the report:? 1. Inactive duty training: AFIS-managed augmen- tees assigned to flying tnits were not accomplishing inactive duty training with intelligence data and material used by their wartime units. #5C~managed IMAs attached to Naval Reserve Security Groups did not receive inactive duty training capatible with military occupations and wartime tasks to enhance preparedness. 2, Manpower shortages: Severe manpower shortages impia.

The actions management had taken in response to the fasues and yecommendationag discussed in the xeport and the action planned were also included in the report.7 Five-Year Plan In August, the directorate distributed its five-year plan, which covered the fiscal years 1983-1987. Three major objectives were the basis of the plan: 1, Employment of reservists in peacetime intelligence functions as an integral part of msintaining skill proficiency and mobilization readiness. 2. Augmentation of active force intelligence operations in peacetime contingencies ar wartime mobilization. 3. Achievement of full force manning with full combat readiness, in concert with the stated goale of the Chief, Air Force Reserve. Retirement Recognition Folicy tn May, Colonel Oberst placed special emphasis upon recognizing deserving personnel who were retiring. The colonel stated, “Each year we lose many good people to mandatory retirement. The Individual Mobilization Augmentees have provided twenty or more years in the service of their country and are deserving of some type of recognition for their long years of work and dedication. i am especially concerned that people who have held demanding positions in our program, such as DTS commanders, area directors, and senior enlisted advisors be appropriately recognized on the occasion of their retirement. *3 To promote such recognition, the directorate distributed to the area directors and DTS units the lists of people who had upcoming wandatery retirement dates. Area and OTS personnel officers were directed to use the lists to track retirementa of personnel to insure appropriate awards were properly presented in a timely manner. Thay were expected to aubmit completed recommendations for decorations to the directorate at least six Irpta.

215 months prior to the individual’s retirement date. The policy appiied for individuals retiring before their mandatory dates. * The colonel cautioned the personnel officers to recommend “deserving” personnel. The directorate was not modifying the standards for award of decorationa upon retirement. In the case of individvals who had not performed “above and beyond” expected duties, another form of recognition, such as 4 certificate of appreciation. was in order.2 Retired Reserve Representative Program In duly, the directorate's Retired Reserve Repre- sentative {RRR} Program was two years old, and Colonel Oberst hoped that the program would continue to grow, The basic rationale for the program was to provide a link with the “blue shirt community” after separation through retirement, as well as an opportunity te be active in areas that would benefit the Program. The retired reserve repreaentatives were provided copies ef the directorate’s FACTBOOK, yearly activity calendars, srea directors and detached training site commanders register, «a copy ef the directorate’s five-year plan, and a letter of instruction as an RRR member. In turn, members provided the program with new candidates, gave briefings about the program, and offered suggestions for program improvements. Members participated on 4 voluntary basis.3 AFIR or AFISR In February, Colonel Oberst responded to an inquiry from Col. Jack Morris, the executive officer tc the ACS/I, about changing the name of the reservist program from the “Air Force Intelligence Reserve Program" (AFIR} to the “Air Force inteli- ligence Service Reserve Program." Colonel Oberst requested that no name change be tade. He explained that the AFIR title was created as part of the establishment of the AFIS/RE in January 4974 to denote an intelligence reservist program which tranacended aris, charged with centralized peacetime management of intelligence reservist spaces and resourcea of over twenty Major commands and agencies. ‘The APIR title was widely recognized and accepted over a nine-year period, Although clearly understood by program affiliates, the directorate did explain the title to the “gninitiated™ in order to make them realize that the Electronic Security Command (ESC) and the Poreign Technology Divisfon (FTO} reservist programs were not part of the AFIR program. There was a title to identify the total intelligence IMA, Air National Guard, and Air Yorse Reserve resource: “Intelligence Air Reaerve Forces (TARE) "4 Vyoia. 2thid. 3utr QJ APIS/RE to Retired Reserve Representatives, “AFIP Retired Reserve Representative {RRR} Program,“ 4 May 83, SD 311. 4uer QB. AaFIS/RE to AP/IN (Col Morris). “AFIS Reserve Program Title (Your Ltr, 1 Feb 633," 8 Feb 83, SD 312.
216 Tne colonel further explained that the real impact of the title change went beyond a technical point. The AFIR title had an “auxa* and a “broad appeal™ becauee it conveyed to the affiliates that they belonged to the AFIR organization/progran, centrally managed by APIS/RE. Thua, the title bad been an integral part of the APIR concept from the beginning. A change of title to “AFIS Reserve Program" would have had a negative impact. The affiliates and key supporters’ an the Mr Staff and partioularly in the DOD would have perceived the change aa a downgrading. Equally important would bave been the perception of the "AFIS Reserve Program" title by definition. The new title would guggest that the program was confined to servicing only AFIS. The AFIS title would have placed the program en equal footing with the FYD, £SC, and non-inteliigence major command reservist programs which were Limited to servicing one cormand.? a The name was not changed.? Consideration of Personnel Consolidation In February, the Suggestion Program Manager for APIS received a suggestion to consolidate the pergonnel functona of three APIS directorates, Personnel, Reserves, and Attache Affairs, for 4 satings of approximately $270,000.3 The suggeation was processed and forwarded to the RZ directorate for @ response. Colonel Oberst replied, “The suggestion, while seemingly attractive on the surface, is based on assumptions which reveal ¢ basic lack of knowledge of the management philosophies and regulting ataff structure of the APIS/RE program,” The colonel explained that the removal of a portion of the current centralized APIS/RE staff at Port Belvoir would have required substantial augmentation of staffs now in place at each of the twenty-three supported commands, at a likely cost of many more manpower spaces than potentially would have been saved at AFIS. Most. of the user commands had only a dingle, part-time intelligence reserve point~of~contact, since the AFIS/RE staff performed most of the management functions for their intelligence reservista.> The colonel discussed approximately six other rationales for keeping the directorate in tact and disapproving the Suggeation. The suggestion was subsequently disapproved. ‘oid. 2%pid. 3Ltr and Atchs QM aArIS/opr tc AFIS/MO, “Evaluation of Suggestion #80L-0104, "Consolidation of Personnel Function Within AFIS," 28 Feb 83.

Security The Security Branch processed 120 Special Background Investigations (SBls}, 107 SBI periodic reinvestigations, and +90 periodic reinvestigations under interim Air Force procedures. The total of 417 represented a 287 percent increase over the previous year due to reinetatement of periodic reinvestigations. Approxi~ mately 1250 geparate actions were initiated for reserve tours requiring sensitive compartmented information {SCI} scceas.! Another major SCI action involved updating the USAFINTEL 201-1, The update established uniform procedures for active duty unite to use whenever a reservist required SCI access for inactive er active duty training. The revision had been approved and was to be included in the early 1984 USAPINTEL 201-1 reprinting.* Teo major actions concerning collateral security clearances were undertaken this year. First, the instruction booklet was completely rewritten hecsuse new Department of Defense forms ware issued for security investigations. Second, the branch obtained approval from the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) and the Air Porce Military Personnel Center to directly inquire into the Automated Personnel Data System (APDS) to verify security clearances and trace working investigations.

Since is form is important for the careerist as an individual development plan, the training section was moved to the front page. This section is also a very effective tocol for management to use by retrieving the data for organizational and component training plans, as well as budgeting and funding for training requirements. The assesament section was moved to the reverse side and will not be included in the DISCAS data base, The new DD Form 191? is expected in late 1984, The DOO Intelligence Career Development Program Office has taken steps to automate the DD Form 1932s (Narrative Supplement} information. Narrative supplement information that is already on file has been converted to an automated format and has been used on a test basis in the referral process during 1983. In early 1984, each registrant in the career program will be given an opportunity to review, validate and update their automated narra~ tive information on the new DD Porm 1932-1. HQ AF/MPX did not concur with the revised 0D Forms 1917 & 1932 because the additional workload it imposed on functional managers, employees, and civilian personnel specialists. HQ AP/MPZS also felt the two forms were duplications of Air Force forms already in use. The possibility of meeting the data requirements for SF-50, OD Form 1917 and DD Form 1932 by tape transfer of data was discussed at the meeting at the Office of Civilian Personnel Operations (OCPO) in December, between APIS/0P. DIA and OCPG personnel. The results of the meeting will be held around March 1984, to continue the diseussiona of an automatic tape transfer of Air Force civilian personnel data to the Defense Intelligence Special Career Automated system. In view of the mtyal agreement that the DOD requirement for the DD Form 1917 can be satisfied by Air Porce procedures and tape transfer of data elements, DIA is going to proceed with revision of the form. Air Force Intelligence personnel will not complete the DD Form 1957. The requirement wili be satisfied through the transfer of data between the two systems.

Officer Manning! GBB Sst Psulk went THY to AQ AFMPC twice during 1983. The first visit was an orientation visit with her counterparts at HQ AFMPC/PALACE SENTINEL from 23-25 May 1983. The second trip was from 11+15 July 1983 to attend an action officer data product working group. its purpose was to discuss and review prototype data products with the intent of developing standardized authorized and assigned manning products useable at the Center and MAJCOM/SGA levels. At the beginning of the year, all officer assignments to AP/IN-AFIS had tc be processed for ACS/I approval. With the assignment of Major General Pfautz in July 1983 and the pending retirement of Colonel Jack Morris, AFIS/DPR submitted a recotttiendation that approval of officer assignments be delegated. This concept was approved in part. ACS/I would approve aasign~ ments cof all colonels, and APSAC lieutenant colonels and commanders; @irectors vould approve assignitents of lieutenant colonels and below: APSAC/CC would approve sasignment of majors and below. This policy changed in early January 1984, The ACS/i now approves aii colonel assignments; directors and AFSAC/CC approve assignments for lieutenant colonels and below. @ Upon the retirement of Colonel Morris, AFIS/CC appointed the Director of Personnel as the point of contact for all 80xXx Colonel assignments, Air Force wide.

223 recognized the manning problems and persaonaliy addressed the matter by sending a letter to Brig. Gen. Robert L. Rutherford, Deputy Agsistant DCS/MP for Military Personnel, and requested his earliest assistance in filling these key posittons with high caliber people. QM curing the isat six montha of the year, AF/INE underwent a major reorganization. On 29 ODBecember 1983, the completed package waa Forwarded to AFIS/MO to work with their counterparts at 1367th HSG to align manpower spaces aa requested in the A?/THE. meorganization package. Air Staff Officer manning for 1983 was 964; AFIS manning was 94%; AFSAC manning was 76%. We expect problema to contioue in 80XX manning wince the total Air Porce manning in the Intelligence eareer Field is 82%. The high manning for AP/IN and APIS te a@irectly attributed to the excellent work of MSgqt Paulk in filling thease vital poaitions.? Competing manning priorities continued to create manning problems for AF/IN-AFIS directorates in 1983. Verbal and written priorities directed by the prior ACS/I, Majer General Marks, caused manning shortfalle in other AFIS directorates when the overall AFIS manning was less than 106 percent. Specifically, APIS/TNOZC, the Intelligence WATCH Facility, and AFIS/INC, the Soviet Awareness Team. had priority one £111 requirements? Enlisted Manning Airman assignments within AP/IN-APIS staff elements continued to be manned at a record high on-board enlisted strength in 1983, AP/IN waa tanned at an average of 100%; APIS averaged 92%; AFSAC averaged 96%. This high manning percentage is a tribute to the outstanding efforts of the personnel serving in the Airman Assignments Branch. Due to the internal restructuring of APIS/INS and AF/INE, we experienced problema with their manning. Contributing to the manning problems was the addition of six Master Sergeant 70270 billets within AFIS/INS requiring SCI clearance, with only SSgt 70286B replacements projected.

An unusual situation arese in February. On 17 February 1983, an Afy Reserve sanior enliated member assigned to AFIS re- enliatsd in the Regular Aix Force for a period of eix years. Unknown at the tite, this was an erroneous enlistment. Current Aix Forae policy permits a reservist on Extended Active Paty (EAD) to enlist in the Regular Air Perce in the same grade as enlistees under the Prior Service enlistment program (Airsan through Master Sergeant}, Since the Reservist was serving in a grade higher than Master Sergeant, the erroneous enlistment adversely affected FY and etrength, career progression, and pratotion opportunities within the career ffeid that the person wan enlisted in. Air Force policy required that the individual be: a} discharged Zor erroneous enlistment, b) diacharged for other reasons, or ©) approve a waiver of the option to discharge.

AFIS /DA AFIS PERSONNEL MANAGER OF THE ¥RAR POR 1983 Col Ronald J. Skorepa APIS/DP Tranafer of Servicing CaPO The change of servicing CHPO from the {'100th ABW at Bolling AFB to the 1947th ASG CBPO at the Fentagon vas completed on 20 Sanuary 1983. Due to the good efforts and close coordination throughout this changeover between AFIS, T100th ABH, 4947th ASG, and HQ AFMPC, the transition went very smoothly and was completed without any problems. Grenada Crisis Support APIS/DPR worked closely with HQ AFMPC and HQ AFSAC an dneuring that appropriate language quaiified Intelligence personnel were identified and then notified of deployment or potential deployment. BO AFMPC wsapported those personnel by placing them on an alert status until released by AFIS. Through the efforts of all involved, the entire action was handled smoothly. The one flaw was failure te include SSANa in a message to HQ APHFC, All future messages identifying people should include SSANg since the personnel data system ia keyed to SSANa; failure to include them resulted in extra manual research and a time delay in 3Q AFHPC response to the AFIS request for support. Word Proceasing Throughout the year, AFIS/OP was involved in justifying rental of & word processing system with data capability. The Philips MICOM 2062 was instalied in May 1983. After aix months usage and training on the system, AFIS/DPR conducted & Word Processing Survey throughout the directorate. the results dindicated that two additional terminals and three additional printers were needed in order to optimize productivity and use the systems avaiiabie. Paperwork was submitted to AFIS/DA for approval and funds to purchase were reserved with AFIS/AC upon Spproval by AFIS/DA. At present, we are in a “hold” status until we receive approval by 8Q AFMPC to use our MODUM to “talk® with the Advanced Personnel Data System (APOG) at Randolph AFB. Colonel Skerepa, AFIS/OP, has discussed this with BQ AFMPC and has been told that the appropriate password would arrive in January 1944. At that time, the paperwork should be approved by AFIS/DA and APIS/AC; we anticipate inatallation of the additional
234 terminals and printera befcre May 1964. The configuration will be: 4x3 - 0% + terminad ~ DF Secretary ~ terminal and printer ort > terminal and printer OPR - terminal and printer 2x2 - OT ~ terminal and printer bec ~ terminal and printer The new system purchased is capable of expanding to a 4 we 3 configuration if the need develops. The primary purpose of this system is word processing: however, a major secondary purpose ig also the hook-up with 89 AFMPC, We anticipate much additional flexibility with the ICOM system when operational in that we will have access to the APRS data base and can extract what is needed fox assignment purposes, manning management, etc. Therefore, we will be able to manipulate data, perform hypothetical configurationa, extract information previously done manually, ets. ~ a sajor improvement. Pressure Point 83 APIS/OF participation was minimal in this exercise with only four messages requiring a response. However, procedures were closely reviewed. In addition, sample messages were prepared for future uge during an exercise or actual criais. This preparation for the exercise proved beneficial during the Grenada crisis. Based on the preparation that went isto this exercise, AFIS/DP will be ready for the next big exercise held in the fall of 1984. TRAINING, EQUCATION, & CAREER DEVELOPMENT DIVISION The division was established py Colonel Skorepa, on 42 July 1982, by taking resources from within AFIS/OP and realigning them to create AFIS/DPT, The primary mission of AFIS/DPT waa to engure that Af/IN-AFIS people were properly trained to meet wission requirements. As noted under Special Problems in our 1981 histery, the training program within AF/IN-AFIS continued to receive special emphasis. It grew to the point where a s#parate division was created to property handle ail training needs.
