DIRECTORATE OF COLLECTION (U) Development of Air Force Manual Gala The recognized need for specific and formalized guidance and control in the field of Human Source Intelligence Collection led to the development of an Air Force Manual, title: (U) USAF Human Source Intelligence Collection. At the close of this reporting period, the manual was entering the final phase of coord-— ination and will be presented to the subordinate and USAF component commands for study and comment in the early part of 1962. ments (STAIR) Activity qual During t2is reporting period 352 STAIRS were served on field elements for collection action. 408 STAIRS were cancelled during this reporting period, and 305 remained outstanding far collection action. (U) Foreign Language Publications quant. The Collection Division continued to support the USIB Committee on Procurement of Foreign Publications (PROCIB) and the Committee on Exploitation of Foreign Language Publications (CEFCP). The USAF member served as the Washington Area coordinator and represented AFCIN at a formal review of the USAF Scientific and Technical Exploita- tion Program (STEP) conducted by AFSC(FTD) at Wright- Patterson AFB, Ohio, during the month of October 1961.
@& Space Detection and Tracking Program qu Participation in this program was discon- tinued on 6 November 1961, and the function was transferred to AFCIN-P (Policy and Programs). (U) Reconnaissance Priority List CEE During this period, the Reconnaissance Prior- ity List has become fully operational and has proved its adequacy for meeting the sophisticated demands of modern reconnaissance collection systems. Where formerly it was on IBM cards, it has now been converted to magnetic tape and integrated with the Aerospace Intelligence File of AFIC. This list is continuously maintained and updated monthly. participate in the entire program in all priority areas. To date, the Army and Navy have indicated a desire to fully participate. By putting the Reconnaissance Priority List on magnetic tape, it not only answers the basic requirements of reconnaissance collection, but has provided many addi- tional usable ‘products. For example, machine runs can be made of priority objectives which have proved to be useful tools in exploitation. The tape can be converted to IBM cards for graphic plotting by machine which provides a major assist in operational planning.
3 Gaal) The last major addition to the Reconnais- sance Priority List is now being programmed. This is to include all the photography available for each objective on to the basic reconnaissance file and AIr. QD qa This major task is expected to be completed in the next six months. (U) Equipment Review Meeting Gua 3A joint USAFE/PACAF/Hq USAF Equipment Review Meeting was conducted 27 — 30 September 1961. The purpose of this meeting was to familiarize representatives from the two overseas commands with current exploitation equipment. Representatives were provided with a first- hand view of the latest equipment during conducted tours of National Photo Interpretation Center, AFIC, and the ACIC. “As a result of the meeting, the overseas commands formulated equipments lists based on current participation in the reconnaissance photo exploitation cycle. The overseas equipment lists have been received in this Headquarters and action has been initiated to procure items required. (C) Intelligence Collection Guidance Documents aie + new AFM 200-44, ICGM ~ Factory Markings, was published and distributed.
@ummm AFM 200-18, ICGH = Fuels, Lubricants, and Rocket Propellants, was completely revised. (Qui AFH 200-7, ICGM - Industrial Recognition, was completely revised. qu, A new ICGL #9, Human Source Registry, was published and distributed. (U) Transfer of Requirements Division Personnel and SS A NS SS S| ES ND (Uncl) On 21 November 1961, Colonel L. E. May, Chief, Requirements Division, was transferred to the Defense Intelligence Agency. Subsequently, all personnel assigned to the Requirements Division were transferred to form the nucleus of the Requirements Office, Defense Intelligence Agency. This nucleus performed the functions of both the Requirements Division and DIA until 1 January 1962.
(U0) Establishment of an Air Force Special Security Office Consumer Network Gump «Commencing in May 1961, a deterioration of timely communications service to the USAF Warning Center was experienced. Consequently, in late July 1961, the Director of Telecommunications appointed a project officer to study the communications problems causing this delay. A tean, including intelligence representation, visited Headquarters, USAF Security Service, San Antonio, Texas on 23 July to analyze the communications problem. The analysis led to the recommendation that an independent Air Force Special Security Office communications net be established with limited connections to the Critical Intelligence Communications System. In order to implement the recommendation of the study tean, Air Staff, J-2, Defense Communications Agency and National Security Agency concurrence was obtained. ena A Requirements Working Group and a Procedures Working Group were established to develop pre-planning information in support of the network. Intelligence personnel were represented on both. In addition, the ACS/Intelligence also assumed the task of reducing the number of addresses ,to Special reports by 25 per cent within the Air Force. As a corollary action, the ACS/Intelligence also agreed to contact Army, Navy and NSA to recommend similar reductions in theix areas of control. “ep
(Uncl) The Requirements Working Group met 26 through 29 September. Requirements for circuits, equipment, manpower, engineering, installation, and supporting facili- ties were determined. The information developed by the Requirements Working Group was disseminated to all interested commands and later made available to the Procedures Working Group. Headquarters, USAF Security Service hosted a conf- erence of all interested commands on 16 through 20 October 1961. At this conference, pre-planning information was thoroughly discussed, and views of the participating commands were obtained. USAF Security Service was given the task of managing the implementation of the network. (Uncl) On 31 October, the Procedures Working Group met to develop the initial draft of a procedures manual. The final draft of this manual is to be presented to Headquarters USAF (Director of Telecommunications) for approval no later than 20 January 1962. tC The present target date for implementation of the communications network and revised intelligence dissemin- ation is 1 March 1962. All Assistant Chief of Staff,Intelligence responsibilities assumed under this project have been accomplished, — (U) Counterpart Mars Program (Uncl) Subsequent to the Chief of Staff's conference with Latin American Air Force Chiefs, held in the late w=
7 Spring of 1961, General White offered to establish a MARS program for certain Latin American air forces, the purpose being to provide contact between these Latin American countries and with USAF facilities in the Caribbean in the interest of good will and friendly relations. During the conference held in June 1961 for attaches accredited to South American countries, the concept for the counterpart MARS program was presented. Air Attaches were asked to contact their host Air Force regarding whether or not they desired to participate in the program. (Uncl) The ACS/Intelligence and the Directorate of Telecommunications were the two principal Air Staff offices involved with this project. The ACS/Intelligence tasking was to follow-up with the Air Attaches to determine the countries desiring to participate in the program. All countries solicited were agreeable. The twelve countries included in the program are: Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Paraguay. (u) USIB Representation Guyer The USAF representation on the USIB Committee on Exchanges (DCID 2/6), USIB Domestic Exploitation Committee (DCID 2/3) and Interagency Implementation Committee was transferred from the Collection Division to the 1127th Field Activities Group at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. ©

(Uncl1) In July 1961 the Office of the Air Attache, Cuba, located at Homestead AFB, Florida was deactivated. » WR Replacement of K-17 Camera qa A study and service test is being conducted utilizing the P-2 70mm aerial camera as a replacement for
as 10 the K-17. Initial reports during this period regarding the P-2 have been most encouraging. The camera is designed for fixed installation, but can be modified for rapid hand- held operation. All air attache stations possessing aircraft are programmed to receive the P-2 by June 1962. (U) Single Side Band Transceivers aa Due to the lack of commercial communications facilities in Africa and the need for constant contact with the embassy, the Collins Single Side Band (KWM2A) was purchased for the Air Attache, Leopoldville. This equip- ment has proved to be of invaluable assistance, not only as a communications unit, but has been used to provide on-the-spot reporting in emergencies. Action is being taken to provide the Air Attaches, Abidjan, Brazzaville, Tananarive and Pretoria with a common communications net within the African complex.
