ORGANIZATIONAL 
(U)   Commanding  Officer,  Capt.  A.  J.  Holifield,  Jr., 
requested  and  was  granted  extension  through  mid-1987. 
—  (U)   Hired  a  new  Technical  Director,  Mr.  J.  Guarini.   The 
position  was  vacant  for  nearly  a  year. 
(U)   Conducted  an  off -site  management  seminar. 
Recommended  solutions  to  a  wide  range  of  personnel/ 
facility,  production  and  procedural  problems  were 
identified  and  promulgated  Command-wide  in  a  NISC  1986 
Action  Plan. 
(U)   Performed  an  in-depth  study  of  the  NISC  structure  to 
determine  if  the  Command  should  be  organizationally 
realigned  to  more  effectively  and  efficiently  respond  to 
user  requirements.   Conclusion  was  to  effect  a  major, 
Command-wide  reorganization.   Figure  1.  is  the  old 
organization  chart  and  Figure  2.  is  the  new  structure. 
(U)   Established  and  provided  technical  membership  and 
executive  secretarial  support  to  the  Director  of  Naval 
Intelligence  (DNI)  submarine  and  aircraft  projection 
boards.   These  efforts  have  led  to  significantly  revised 
force  level  projections  which  are  supported  by  DIA. 
(U)   Performed  a  comprehensive  review  of  base  resources. 
Results  are  that  some  analytical  efforts  were  terminated, 
some  were  reduced  or  delayed,  and  some  high  priority 
areas  were  expanded.   A  few  new  analytical  efforts  will 
be  initiated  during  FY  1987. 
—  (U)   NISC  analysts  actively  participated  in  OPNAV 
sponsored  POM  war  games,  warfare  appraisals  and  systems 
effectiveness  studies  to  assist  Navy  planners  to  identify 
and  define  future  weapon  systems  requirements.
(U)   Performed  an  in-depth  review  of  Navy  representation  on 
all  S&T-related  DCI  committees,  subcommittees  and  working 
groups,  and  made  changes  where  appropriate  to  ensure  that 
the  Navy  has  the  best  representation  available  in  that 
arena. 
(0)   Initiated  action  to  terminate  NISC  production  of 
several  Naval  Warfare  Publications  (NWP)  which  are  of 
marginal  use  to  the  operating  forces.   This  action  will 
allow  redirection  of  command  resources  against  higher 
priority  production  tasks. 
(0)   Established  a  dedicated  working  arrangement  with  the 
Center  for  Naval  Analysis  (CNA)  to  assist  both 
organizations  in  the  resolution  of  specific  naval-related 
analytical  areas. 
(U)   Signed  a  Memorandum  of  Agreement  (MOA)  with  the  Navy 
Operational  Intelligence  Center  (NAVOPINTCEN)  concerning 
the  establishment  of  the  Strike  Projection  Evaluation  and 
AAtt  Research  (SPEAR)  Group  and  functionally  transferred 
five  (5)  billets  to  that  organization. 
(U)   Consolidated  all  NAVINTCOM  graphics  and  visual 
communications  resources  at  NISC  at  the  direction  of  CNO. 
Three  (3)  NAVINTCOM  Headquarters  billets  and  three  (3) 
NAVOPINTCEN  billets  were  functionally  transferred  to  NISC 
(U)   Provided  detailed  threat  assessment  support  to  259 
separate  naval  weapon  systems  development  programs. 
Feedback  from  Program  Managers  was  extremely  positive,  with 
overwhelming  -consensus  that  the  scope  and  detail  of  the 
generic  threat  assessments  are  exactly  what  is  needed.
(U)  "Made  substantial  progress  on  the  development  of  the 
automated  Command  data  base  of  S&T  characteristics  and 
performance  data  on  foreign  naval  systems.   When  fully 
operational  in  1987,  data  accuracy  and  consistency  in 
Command  products  will  be  substantially  improved  and 
analysts*  time  in  cross-checking  information  will  be 
significantly  reduced. 
(U)   One  of  the  command's  most  hardworking,  dedicated 
analysts,  Mr.  Gregory  M.  Berbert  received  the  DIA  sponsored 
Herman  Dworkin  Award  as  the  outstanding  intelligence 
analyst  in  DoD  in  1986. 
(U)   NAVINTCOM  Inspector  General  (IG)  inspection  and  Navy 
Audit  were  conducted  during  the  year.   NISC  passed  both 
with  no  major  problems. 
(U)   NISC  and  non-NISC  Naval  Reserve  Units  consisting  of 
174  reservists  (121  officers  and  53  enlisted)  performed 
ACDUTRA  at  NISC.   In  addition,  NISC  conducted  a  two-week 
ACDUTRA  Advanced  Language  Proficiency  Workshop  for  31 
reservists  and  hosted  a  two-week  ACDUTRA  Defense 
Intelligence  College  sponsored  S&T  Intelligence  Analyst 
Introductory  Course  for  10  reservists.
