UNCLASSIFIED SECTION 1 OP-009 INTRODUCTION 1.1 (U) PURPOSE 1.1.1 (U) Continuing a program begun in 1984 by the Director of Naval Intelligence, the Office of Naval Intelligence "Annual History - 1985" is the second consolidated annual history of ONI. The purpose of this history is te provide current and future staff officers, planners and managers with important data on past events and achievements so as to inform their decisionmaking and facilitate responses to requests for information from key personnel. 1.1.2 (U) The ONI Annual History - 1985 is a compilation of individual histories. The first part of the volume includes histories of OP~009 elements and the Naval Reserve Intelligence Program. The remainder includes submissions from second and third echelon commands and the intelligence staffs of the fleet commanders-in-chief. Unfortunately, some submissions were not received by the required deadline. Moreover, manpower constraints on the part of the Reserve Intelligence History Task Group, which has compiled the histories, may limit future efforts to compile annual histories. 1.1.3 (U) This document does not reflect the history of Naval Intelligence in its entirety. ONI has been and continues to be ir.olved in administration of special compartmented intelligence programs requiring special accesses. For information on these special activities, the appropriate program office must be consulted; sufficient time must elapse for declassification action and appropriate archives consulted. UNCLASSIFIED
1.2 (U) OVERVIEW 1.2.1 || 1235 was a year of accomplishment, transition and challenge for the Office of Naval Intelligence. The activities, responsibilities, personnel and budget of Naval Intelligence continued to expand. Two key changes occurred during tne year. On 13 September 1985, RADM William Oo. Studeman relieved RADM John L. Butts as the Director of Naval Intelligence. RADM Butts had served as DNI since 1982. In relieving him, RADM Studeman became the 53rd DNI since the establisnment of the Office of Naval Intelligence in 1882. Another major change took place on 15 November 1985, when the Naval Investigative Service became the Naval Security and Investigative Command. Finally, key elements of the ONI structure were deeply involved in Department of the Navy efforts to comoat terrorism and investigate several significant espionage cases. 1.2.2 r | The Navy portion of tne FY-86 General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) fared well in the Congressional review process, the result being an authorization of — a FY 86 enjoyed a 23 percent budgetary grow.h and seven percent growth in positions over FY 85. 1.2.3 r- | Tne Current Intelligence Branch (OP-009Y1) and the Intelligence Analysis Branch (OP-009Y2) continued to provide extensive intelligence support to senior military and civilian personnel, both in the Department of the Navy and elsewhere in the government. In August OP-009Y1 added an 6700 DNI morning update to its scheduled briefings. OP-009yY2 contributed to, coordinated or evaluated MRM National Intelligence Estimates. The branch also completely rewrote the widely read OPNAV publication, Understanding Soviet Naval Developments. 1.2.4 i The Naval Reserve Intelligence Prograin (NRIP) continued to play a significant role in Naval Intelligence during 1985. Shortly pefore he was relieved as DNI, RADM Butts estimated that the NRIP provided about 400 man-years to the ONI. RADM Butts also noted that, as DNI, he would have to “stop doing what I am doing the way I am doing it if I did not have the Naval Reserve Intelligence Program." NRIP Manning improved during FY 85. The officer drill-pay allowance increased by over five percent (2,377 to 2,493); the enlisted drill pay allowance increased py 12 percent (1,644 to 1,853). Three new units were commissioned. During FY 8&5, 47 percent of NRIP drill workhours were devoted to fleet support. The reestablisnment of an 0-6 Program Sponsor Representative billet
for Reserve Affairs at OP-009--scheduled to be filled in early 1986--was expected to enhance sponsor involvement and management.

A major DIE conpleted during 1985 was This document, a more detailed treatment of the subject than that Supplied in NIEs, Provided definitive guidance to DOD planners. Branch personnel contriputed ONI inputs to DIPPs on Soviet naval forces, ballistic missile defenses, and strategic offensive forces. 12.2.4 ; | OP-OU9Y2 also participated actively in preparing, coordinating, and reviewing numerous all-source national-level intelligence memorandums (IIMS) and assessments (IIAs). Focusing on key military, political, economic, and social issues, tnese documents are tailored to tne needs of senior decisionmakers. MEY "<0" anduns and assessments were produced during the year. Althougn most focused on key aspects of the Soviet/Warsaw Pact tnreat--such as “others featured timel conflicts, e.g., assessments of current regional and 12.2.5 f | The brancn played a leading role in developing ONI positions and preparing the Director of Naval Intelligence for Military Intelligence Board and National Foreign Intelligence Board deliberations on many of these documents. Tne combined effect of these efforts was to ensure that ONI and Navy Department positions and concerns were accurately reflected in ali relevant Community products. Moreover, tnrougn oranen participation in interagency analyses, ONI remained fully informed of developing non-Navy analytic positions.
12.2.6 i Due to the diverse nature of branch expertise and sensitivity to high level Intelligence Community issues, OP-U09Y2 personnel were frequently sought out for assignment to departmental, joint, and national level working groups, committees, and wargaming teams. For example, during 1985, branch personnel served on DOD's Caribbean Basin Intelligence Working Group, OPNAV‘'s Non-Nuclear Ordnance Planning Requirements Board, and DIA's Korea and Philippines Consultative Groups--each of which addressed a range of complex intelligence issues. Branch personnel also served as ONI's representatives to the DOD Pilot Architecture Study for the Strategic Defense Initiative. OP-009yY2 personnel participated as members of the Threat Definition Subcommittee and the Threat and Response Panel. Through this effort, tne branch was directly involved in defining the long-range Soviet threat and Soviet objectives/strategy in response to the US SDI. 12.2.7 The Intelligence Analysis Branch also coordinated Navy participation in the annual f- and SACLANT=-sponsored MARINTCON conferences. Widely attended by Allied naval analysts and officers, these conferences offer unique opportunities to present papers and exchange views on emerging Soviet/Warsaw Pact maritime issues. Brancn personnel coordinated the development of conference agendas and identified subjects and authors for professional papers. The branch represented ONI at the SACLANT MARINTCON conference, 12.2.8 | OP-009¥2 was exceptionally active throughout the year in providing analytic Support to the DNI, CNO, SECNAV, and major OPNAV elements. OP-009Y2 personnel drafted and coordinated DNI positions for Navy Department public briefings, Speeches to civic organizations, news media articles, and congressional appearances. The highlight of tnis activity was the preparation of the DNI's annual posture statement to Congress on the evolving naval threat. The branch also prepared DNI threat briefings to visiting foreign flag officers from/ . _ — and special briefings and i discussion papers for Navy-to-Navy Staff talks with / ‘branch also produced over 20 point papers and othér special Staff support for the Twelfth Inter-American Naval Conference in May and over 45 point papers, backgrounders, and naval Summaries for the CNO sponsored Eignth International Seapower Symposium in October. In addition, the Intelligence Analysis Brancn provided other frequent, quick-reaction staff support 28 ' LNCED AT GOVERSRGBEE
throughout the year via a myriad of briefings, point papers, and background memorandums for Navy Department officials on worldwide political-military and Soviet threat issues. Because preparation time for these ad hoc taskings ranged from a few hours to a few weeks, the breadth and depth of branch personnel experience was key to getting the job done. Examples include analyses on 12.2.9 QMMJ Branch personnel also routinely provided tailored analyses on intelligence aspects of weekly JCS agenda items to OPNAV strategic and operational planners, policy analysts, and programming officers. This support required rapid research, development and coordination of ONI positions botn within OPNAV and with DIA and other Services, and personal briefings to the CNO/VCNO/DCNO. Typical JCS agenda issues included 12.2.10 (U) The diversity of support rendered by OP-009Y2 was exemplified by the branch's contribution to public awareness of naval issues. During 1985, branch personnel comp] stely re-wrote the fifth edition of the widely-read OPNAV pudlication, Understanding Soviet Naval Developments. This primer nas been lauded for its editorial quality and visual impact and is generally recognized as the finest, most comprenensive unclassified document of its kind. As such, 4 second printing was authorized. Additionally, for the first time, hundreds of copies were provided to USIA - at their request - for distribution to embassies and foreign agencies worldwide. 12.2,11 MM Finally, throughout 1985, the Intelligence Analysis Brancn continued to receive particularly strong Support from its Naval Reserve unit, CNO Intelligence Estimates Reserve Unit 0166. With a strength of 32 officers and enlisted personnel, the Unit - among other things - publishes for ONI the Naval Intelligence Quarterly. Unit personnel research, write, and help edit professional articles and assume full publication responsibilities. Four volumes of tne NIO were puoslisned in 1985 with over thirty articles and pook reviews covering a wide range of naval-related Strateyy and doctrinal issues. Tnis production schedule, accomplished largely during 29
rad montnly weekend drills, was equivalent to producing a finished professional journal every six working days. In addition, NIQ distribution continued to expand in 1985; currently, some 500 consumers receive NIQ. 30

UNCLASSIFIES 13.1.4 (U) DNRIP and COMNAVAIRESFOR representatives attended curriculum planning worksnops in April and October of 1985 to develop NRIP training plans and requirements for 1986 and 1987. Changes in the NRIP training curriculum were dictated in part by the consolidation of Navy and Marine intelligence training conducted at NMITC, AFAITC, NIPSTRAFSAC, and FITCCLANT to a single facility in the new Navy Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center (NMITC), Dam Neck, Virginia. Reserve officer and enlisted training curricula were identified for implementation at NMITC, inciuding a new Basic Operational Intelligence reserve course and a revamped Intelligence Specialist (IS) reserve and active duty "A" school program. 13.1.5 (U) DNRIP hosted the FY86 NRIP Management Meeting at Treasure Island on 2-4 November. RADM Rinard, COMNAVAIRESFOR, and RADM Studeman, DNI, were the key speakers. In addition to all RIACS and RIPOs from the NRIP's eighteen Reserve Intelligence Areas, other attendees included the commanding officers of FICPAC, FICEURLANT, Commander Task Force 168, as well as representatives from other gaining commands. The conference agenda addressed tne many components of NRIP readiness. 13.1.6 (U) Major progress in sponsor involvement, Management, and oversight of the NRIP was made with the reestablishment of the NRIP Program Sponsor Representative billet at OP-009. CAPT Dave Zickafoose, DNRIP Chief Staff Officer, received orders to proceed to Washington in Fepruary of 1986 to fill this billet. The new DNRIP CSO is CAPT Jim Law, a 1630 officer who previously served as Deputy COMNAVINTCOM and Assistant COMNAVINTCOM for Manpower, Personnel, and Training. CAPT Law will be the first non-TAR (Temporary Active Duty) officer to serve in the DNRIP CSO billet. 13.1.7 (U) The 1635 Direct Commission Program proceeded smoothly in 1985. DNRIP/COMNAVINTCOM efforts during 1985 to speed administrative and security clearance processing reduced administrative delays. The effectiveness of this program is illustrated by the fact that there are now 192 Ensigns on-board in the NRIP, compared to 19 Ensigns on-board in 1981. Continued strong officer recruiting from ail sources, including direct commission, is necessar A S 13.1.8 (U) As required by ALNAV 068/85, a comprehensive review of security clearances and personnel accesses in tne 32 UNCLASSIFIFN
NRIP was conducted in July. The review brought about a three percent reduction in grill-site security clearance access levels, and indicated that NRIP clearance and access practices have generally been consistent with need. 33
