INTRODUCTION 
(U)   In  past   years,  the   need  for  a  single  DoD  specific    intelligence     responsibility    of    each     DoD 
document      to      describe      the      present      complex  intelligence     component     based     on    -cunent     U.S. 
organizational,        operational,       and        management  Government  directives.  The  information  contained  in 
relationships  in  tlie  Defense  Intelligence  Community  mis  manual  is  designed  to  be  used  as  reference  material 
was  recognized.  Accordingly,  this  manual  was  written  within    the    DoD,   to  orient   newly-assigned   Defense 
to  satisfy  tliis  need.  Dl AM  56-3  describes  tlie  Defense  Intelligence    personnel,    and    to   provide    a    teaching

CHAPTER  2 
BASIC  PRINCIPLES 
1  .  (U)  GUIDANCE:  Official  statements  by  the 
President,  the  Secretary  of  Defense,  and  directives  of 
the  National  Security  Council  (NSC),  provide  the 
primary  guidance  and  direction  from  which  U.S. 
Defense  strategy  and  related  Defense  Intelligence  plans, 
programs,  and  budgets  are  developed.  Intelligence 
support  of  national  Defense  policies  requires  current 
knowledge  of  foreign  military,  scientific,  political,  and 
economic  developments  which  may  affect  U.S. 
national  security.  This,  in  turn,  requires  continued 
collection  and  production  of  essential  intelligence 
about  foreign  armed  forces,  their  strengths, 
capabilities,  vulnerabilities,  and  estimates  of  their 
possible  future  military  threats  to  the  United  States 
and  its  international  interests. 
2.  (U)  GOALS:  U.S.  Government  national  security 
decisions  are  based,  to  a  considerable  degree,  on 
military  intelligence  produced  by  DoD  Intelligence 
components.  Therefore,  the  basic  goal  of  U.S.  Defense 
Intelligence  is  to  provide  responsible  officials  of  the 
U.S.  Government,  particularly  DoD  officials  and 
military  commanders,  with  the  accurate  and  timely 
foreign  military  intelligence  needed  to  aid  them  in  their 
planning  and  decisionmaking.  In  this  context,  Defense 
Intelligence  activities  must  strive  for  the  earliest 
identification  and  accurate  interpretation  of  foreign 
armed  foices'  threats  which  may  lequire  immediate 
diplomatic  and/or  military  actions  by  the  United 
States.  Additionally,  the  Defense  Intelligence 
Community  must  maintain  detailed  knowledge  of 
foreign  scientific  and  technical  (S&T)  developments 
and  related  military'  trends  which  may  affect  U.S. 
Defense  planning  and  programming  in  the  long-range 
and  mid-range  periods. 
3.  (U)  USER  NEEDS:  The  increasing  power  and 
effectiveness  of  modern  military'  weapons  and  delivery 
systems,  and  the  interrelationships  among  foreign 
diplomatic,   economic,   and    military    activities,  have 
resulted  in  increasing  demands  for  timely  .md 
comprehensive  Defease  Intelligence.  Strategic  air, 
underwater,  and  space  we.ipwiis  systems,  in  particular, 
require  maximum  intelligence  attention.  Defense 
Intelligence  of  this  kind  is  used  on  a  continuing  basis 
by  the  President,  the  NSC,  the  Secretary  of  Defense, 
the  Joint  Chiefs  of  Staff  (JCS),  the  Secretary  of  State, 
other  appropriate  senior  Government  officials,  and 
military  commanders  of  ill  echelons. 
4.  (U)  SECURITY:  Successful  Defense  Intelligence 
activities  require  vigilant  and  continuing  security  of 
products  and  sources.  Security  measures  must  be 
constantly  reviewed  and  adjusted  to  support  changing 
Defense  Intelligence  activities.  Inadvertent  disclosures 
relating  to  DoD  intelligence  collection  and  surveillance 
methods,  sources  or  final  results,  may  cause  foreign 
governments  to  increase  their  counterintelligence 
activities.  This  may,  in  turn,  increase  costs  and  decrease 
effectiveness  of  U.S.  intelligence  operations.  However, 
a  balance  must  be  maintained  between  security  and 
the  user's  "need-to-know." 
5.  (U) 'VALUE:  The  value  of  intelligence  activities 
cannot  be  directly  equated  to  dollars.  Value  of  finished 
intelligence  must  be  measured  by  its  usefulness  to  U.S. 
decisionmakers  and  to  the  defense  of  the  United 
States.  Collection,  processing,  and  production  of 
intelligence,  therefore,  must  be  planned,  programmed, 
and  conducted  in  accordance  with  approved  goals  and 
objectives  to  insure  that  collection  is  targeted  against 
validated  requirements.  The  costly  and  unique  nature 
of  many  intelligence  resources  and  the  variety  of 
continuing  needs  for  intelligence  by  users  at  all  levels 
.dictate  that  all  U.S.  intelligence  resources  be  properly 
'planned,  programmed,  budgeted,  and  operated  as 
objective-oriented  systems  to  satisfy  all  essential  U.S. 
requirements.  To  support  officials  at  these  many  levels 
of  authority  requires  an  integrated,  well-managed  and 
responsive  Defense   Intelligence  system.

CHAPTER  3 
THE  U.S.  FOREIGN   INTELLIGENCE  COMMUNITY 
O 
1.  (U)      ORGANIZATION 
INTEl.LIGF.NCE: 
OF      U.S.      FOKF.IGN 
a.  (U)  The  foreign  i.'it.-'.lLuirc  activities  of  the 
United  Stales,  as  aulhori/cd  by  the  Njtion.il  Security 
Act  of  1947,  are  organized  \o  satisfy  the  rcmiiieinents 
of  the  President,  the  NSC,  and  specific  departments 
and  agencies  of  the  U.S.  Government.  The  "U.S. 
Foieign  Intelligence  Community"  consists  of  those 
departments,  agencies,  and  units  which  are  authorized 
by  law  or  presidential  order  to  conduct  U.S.  foreign 
intelligence  or  counterintelligence  operations.  For  a 
variety  of  reasons  they  are  not  in  a  common  chain 
of  command.  Each  component  of  the  U.S.  Foreign 
Intelligence  Community  is  administratively  subordinate 
to  the  respective  department  or  agency  to  which 
assigned.  However,  overall  naliora!  intelligence  policy, 
which  guides  their  operations,  is  coordinated  by  a 
single  U.S.  Government  intelligence  official,  the 
Director  of  Central  Intelligence  (DCI).  He  is  appointed 
by  the  President,  subject  to  approval  by  the  U.S. 
Senate,  and   is  responsible  to  the   NSC. 
b.  (U)  The  NSC  acts  as  the  highest  Executive 
Branch  entity  that  provides  review  of  guidance  for  and 
direction  to  the  conduct  of  all  national  foreign 
intelligence  and  counterintelligence  activities.  The 
Policy  Review  Committee  (PRC)  and  Special 
Coordination  Committee  (SCC)  of  the  NSC  assist  in 
carrying  out  the  NSC's  responsibilities  in  the  foreign 
intelligence  and  counterintelligence  areas. 
c.  (U)  The  U.S.  Foreign  Intelligence  Community 
consists  of  the  following  organizations:  the  Central 
Intelligence  Agency  (CIA),  Defense  Intelligence 
Agency  (DIA),  National  Security  Agency  (N'SA), 
offices  within  the  DoD  for  the  collection  of  specialized 
national  foreign  intelligence  through  reconnaissance 
programs,  the  Bureau  of  Intel' igence  and  Research  of 
the  Department  of  State,  the  intelligence  elements  of 
the  military  services,  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation 
(FBI),  Department  of  Treasury,  Department  of  Energy 
and  the  Drug  Enforcement  Administration  (DEA),  and 
the  staff  elements  of  the  office  of  the  DCI. 
2.  (U)    THE    NATIONAL    SECURITY    ACT:    The 
National  Security  Act  of  1947  (amended),  as 
implemented  by  the  NSC,  laid  the  foundation  for  an 
inter-departmental  "intelligence  community  which 
had   evolved   from   the  competir 
post-World   War   II 
intelligence  interests  of  several  U.S.  Government 
departments.  The  Act  established  the  office  of  the  DCI 
and  the  CIA,  and  provided  for  a  Presidential  appointee 
to  serve  as  both  the  DCI  and  as  the  Director,  CIA. 
'Iltc  DCI  advi«.es  the  President  and  the  other  members 
of  the  NSC  icgarding  the  intelligence  aspects  of 
national  security  and  coordinates  intelligence  activities 
of  the  U.S.  Government.  He  carries  out  these 
responsibilities  through  his  chairmanship  and/or 
member  ship  on  senior  U.S.  Government  or  NSC 
intelligence  boards  and  committees,  which  involve 
planning,  reviewing,  coordinating,  and  evaluating  U.S. 
intelligence  programs  and   activities. 
3.  (U)  EXECUTIVE  ORDER  12036,  24  JANUARY 
1978:  This  order  builds  on  the  experience  gained  under 
the  superseded  Executive  Order  11905  which  insured 
that  foreign  intelligence  and  counterintelligence 
activities  are  conducted  in  full  compliance  with  the 
laws  of  the  United  States  and  are  consistent  with 
broader  national  security  policies.  It  establishes 
oversight  of  the  direction,  management  and  conduct 
of  the  foreign  intelligence  activities  of  the  Federal 
Government  and  clarifies  the  authority  and 
responsibilities  of  the  DCI  and  the  departments  and 
agencies  that  have  foreign  intelligence  and 
counterintelligence  responsibilities.  The  most 
important  features  of  the  Order  are -as  follows: 
a.  (U)  The  NSC  and  its  two  standing  committees 
-•  the  SCC  and  the  PRC  -  short  of  the  President, 
provide  the  highest  level  review  of  and  guidance  for 
the  policies  and  practices  of  the  Intelligence 
Community. 
(1)  (U)  The  PRC,  when  acting  on  intelligence 
"matters,  is  chaired  by  the  DCI  and  defines  and 
establishes  priorities  for  consumer  requirements  for 
intelligence,  making  sure  these  are  reflected  in  budget 
decisions  and  evaluating  analytical  products.  This 
insures  that  the  needs  of  the  most  'mportant  users  of 
intelligence  guide   the  entire  intelligence  process. 
(2)  (U)  The  SCC,  chaired  by  the  Assistant  to  the 
President  for  National  Security  Affairs,  reviews  and 
makes  recommendations  to  the  President  on  special 
activities  and  sensitive  foreign  intelligence  collection 
operations.  This  committee  also  assumes  responsibility 
for  developing  doctrine  for  counterintelligence 
activities. 
o 
r'^'T'v
DIAM   56-3 
8  July    1979 
b.  (U)  The  authorities  and  icsponsibilitics  or  all 
departments,  agencies,  and  scnioi  officials  engaged  in 
foreign  intelligence  and  counterintelligence  activities 
are  made  public.  Those  implementing  directives,  which 
must  remain  classified  for  security  reasons,  will  be 
made  available  to  the  appropriate  Congressional 
oversight  committees.  The  Order  implements  an  earlier 
presidential  decision  to  centralize  under  the  DCI  the 
most  important  national  intelligence  management 
functions  --  collection  requirements,  budget  control 
and  analysis  -  while  operational  and  support  activities 
are  left  unchanged  and  decentralized.  The  specific 
operational  responsibilities  of  each  of  the  elements  of 
the  Intelligence  Community,  as  well  as  their  most 
important  community  relationships,  are  spelled  out. 
Two  important  organizational  mechanisms  are 
established  to  facilitate  these  functions: 
(1)  (U)  The  National  Intelligence  Tasking  Center, 
operating  in  peacetime  under  the  control  of  the  DCI 
or,  under  the  Secretary  of  Defense  when  the  President 
so  directs,  coordinates  and  tasks  national  foreign 
intelligence  collection  programs. 
(2)  (U)  The  National  Foreign  Intelligence  Board 
(NFIB),  which  includes  the  members  of  the 
Intelligence  Community,  is  an  advisory  body  to  the 
DCI  on  all  foreign  intelligence  activities  and  the 
budget. 
c.  (U)  The  methods  employed  by  the  intelligence 
agencies  must  meet  Constitutional  standards  protecting 
the  privacy  and  civil  liberties  of  U.S.  personnel  and 
must  be  in  full  compliance  with  the  law.  To  accomplish 
this  objective  a  major  section  of  Executive  Order  12036 
is  devoted  entirely  to  setting  forth  detailed  restrictions 
on  intelligence  collection,  special  activities  in  support 
of  foreign  policy  objectives,  experimentation 
contracting,  assistance  to  law  enforcement  authorities, 
personnel  assigned  to  other  agencies,  indirect 
participation  in  prohibited  activities,  dissemination  and 
storage  of  information,  and  a  prohibition  on 
assassinations.  The  FBI's  intelligence  activities  no 
longer  have  a  blanket  exception  to  these  restrictions. 
At  the  heart  of  the  restriction  process  is  a  greatly 
enhanced  role  for  the  Attorney  General,  as  the  nation's 
top  legal  officer,  to  establish  and  approve  procedures 
to  regulate  the  conduct  of  the  most  sensitive 
intelligence  activities.  These  detailed  procedures,  which 
will  be  made  available  to  the  Congressional  oversight 
committees,  will  insure  compliance  with  the  law, 
protect  Constitutional  rights  and  privacy,  and  insure 
that  any  intelligence  activity  within  the  United  States 
or  directed  against  Americans  will  employ  the  least 
intrusive  means  possible  and  that  the  use, 
dissemination,  3nd  storage  of  such  information  is 
limited  to  that  necessary  to  achieve  lawful 
governmental  purposes. 
d.  (U)  As  an  added  protection  against  abuses  and 
to  help  insure  effective  performance,  the  intelligence 
oversight  process  is  strengthened. 
(1)  (U)  The  Intelligence  Oversight  Board  (IOB) 
reviews  foreign  intelligence  and  counterintelligence 
activities  that  may  be  illegal  or  improper,  and  is  given 
new  authority  to  conduct  investigations. 
(2)  (U)  The  DCI  and  senior  officers  of  the 
Intelligence  Community  arc  instructed  to  report  to  the 
Congressional  intelligence  committees  in  a  complete 
and  prompt  manner. 
4.  (U)  AUTHORITY  OF  THE  DCI:  The  DCI  is 
responsible  directly  to  the  NSC  and: 
a.  (U)  Acts  as  the  primary  advisor  to  the 
President  and  the  NSC  on  national  foreign  intelligence 
and  provides  the  President  and  other  officials  in  the 
Executive  Branch  with  national  foreign  intelligence. 
b.  (U)  Acts  as  head  of  the  CIA  and  of  such  staff 
elements  as  may  be  required  for  discharge  of  the 
Director  s  Intelligence  Community  responsibilities. 
c.  (U)  Acts,  in  appropriate  consultation  with  the 
departments     and     agencies,     as     the     Intelligence 
Community's  principal  spokesman  to  the  Congress,  the 
news  media  and  the  public,  and  facilitates  the  use  of 
national  foreign  intelligence  products  by  the  Congress 
in  a  secure  manner. 
d.  (U)  Develops,  consistent  with  the  requirements 
and  priorities  established  by  the  PRC,  such  objectives 
and  guidance  for  the  'Intelligence  Community  which 
will  enhance  capabilities  for  responding  to  expected 
future  needs  for  national  foreign  intelligence. 
e.  (U)  Promotes  the  development  and 
maintenance  of  services  of  common  concern  by 
designated  foreign  intelligence  organizations  on  behalf 
of  the   Intelligence  Community. 
f.  (U)  Insures  implementation  of  special 
activities. 
g.  (U)  Formulates  policies  concerning  intelligence 
arrangements       with       foreign       governments      and

6.  (U)         U.S.  FOREIGN         INTELLIGENCE 
ACTIVITIES: 
a.  (U)  Basically,  all  U.S.  Government  foreign 
intelligence  activities  fall  into  four  general  categories 
--  military,  S&T,  political,  and  economic.  In  response 
to  general  or  specific  requirements,  a  variety  of 
finished  intelligence  products  are  produced  on  these 
subjects  from  data  which  have  been  collected, 
processed,  evaluated, and  analyzed  by  various  methods. 
(1)  (U)  One-  of  the  most  difficult  U.S. 
Government  activities  involves  planning  successful 
collection  operations  and  producing  accurate  analytical 
reports  which  properly  aid  U.S.  Government  officials 
in  making  decisions.  The  worldwide  information 
explosion  of  recent  years  has  made  these  tasks  more 
complex  and  costly,  particularly  the  collection  of 
needed  information.  Much  information  is  obtained  by 
routine,  overt  collection  procedures.  However,  most  of 
the  data  critical  to  national  survival  are  obtained  by 
clandestine  or  highly   technical  means. 
(2)  (U)  The  budgetary  need  to  program 
production  and  related  collection  resources  and 
systems  years  in  advance,  for  eventual  use  against 
changing  and  usually  hostile  target  nations  or  forces, 
greatly  complicates  intelligence  planning.  In  recent 
years,  increasing  use  has  been  made  of  highly 
specialized  technology  to  obtain  information  which 
most  nations  actively  attempt  to  protect  through  a 
variety  of  complex  security  procedures.  The  result  is 
that  extremely  costly  technical  collection  systems, 
which  supply  large  quantities  of  selected  raw  or 
semi -processed  data  for  U.S.  intelligence  producers, 
have  been  developed  arid  deployed  throughout  the 
world.  Using  data  from  such  systems,  U.S.  intelligence 
activities  prepare  finished  intelligence  products  which 
are  designed  for  specific  U.S.  Government  intelligence 
users.  Much  of  this  production  is  in  the  area  of  military 
8  July    1979 
intelligence  and  is  accomplished  within  the  DoD. 
b.  (U)  U.S.  Government  foreign  intelligence 
activities  arc  conducted  primarily  by  the  CIA,  the 
Department  of  Slate,  and  die  DoD.  The  scope  of  their 
activities  is  determined  by  their  statutory

a  (U)  tlic  intelligence  activities  of  the  DoD  form 
a  major  effort  within  the  U.S.  Foreign  Intelligence 
Community,  particularly  in  terms  of  military 
intelligence  production.  DoD  foreign  intelligence 
activities,  referred  to  in  this  manual  as  the  "Defense 
Intelligence  Community,"  have  primary  responsibility 
within  the  U.S.  Government  for  management  and 
production  of  finished  inlelligence  on  foreign  armed 
forces,  their  military  capabilities  and  related  activities. 
This  responsibility  includes  S&T,  as  well  as  economic 
and  political  information  directly  pertinent  to  the 
missions  of  the  various  components  of  the  DoD.  The 
primary  members  of  the  Defense  Intelligence 
Community  include  the  Assistant  Secretary'  of  Defense 
(Communications,  Command,  Control  and 
Intelligence)  (ASD(C3l));  Deputy  Under  Secretary  of 
Defense  (Policy  Review)  (DUSD(PR));  the  Director, 
DIA;  the  Directo.-,  NSA/Chief,  Central  Security  Service 
(CSS);  the  intelligence  chiefs  of  the  Military  Services 
and  the  Unified  and  Specified  (U&S)  Commands  and 
their  component  commands.  In  addition,  a  variety  of 
intelligence  agencies,  units,  and  activities  arc  assigned 
to  the  Services  or  U&S  Commands  to  accomplish 
supporting  tasks.  See  enclosure  1,  chart  2,  for  a 
diagram  of  Defense  Intelligence   Relationships. 
b.  (U)  The  Defense  Intelligence  Community  has 
evolved  since  the  enactment  of  the  National  Security 
Act  of  1947,  as  amended,  and  the  1958  Defense 
Reorganization  Act.  These  acts  provide  the  basic  legal 
authority  for  the  DoD  organization.  In  Congressional 
discussion  on  these  bills,  inelligence  was  identified  as 
one  of  the  Defense  support  activities  which  could 
benefit  from  common  DoD  functional  control  and 
management.  Two  DoD  intelligence  agencies,  the  NSA 
and  the  DIA,  and  certain  special  collection  programs 
were  established  to  improve  the  management  of 
Defense  Intelligence  collection  and  production 
activities.  The  Secretary  of  Defense  also  was  made 
responsible,  as  executive  agent,  for  those  Defense 
Intelligence  collection  resources  which  must  be 
managed   and  controlled  at   the   national  level. 
c.  (LI)  The  NSA/CSS  is  responsible  for  centralized 
coordination,  direction,  and  performance  of  highly 
specialized  technical  functions  in  support  of  U.S. 
Government  activities  to  protect  U.S.  communications 
and    processes    foreign    intelligence    information.    The 
NSA  was  established  by  Presidential  directive  in  1952 
as  a  separately  organized  agency  within  the  DoD.  In 
this  directive,  the  'President  designated  the  Secretary 
of  Defense  Executive  Agent  for  the  signals  intelligence 
(SIGINT)  and  communications  security  (COMSEC) 
activities  of  the  Government.  In  1972,  the  CSS  was 
established,  in  accordance  with  a  Presidential 
memorandum,  to  provide  a  more  unified  cryptologic 
organization  within  the  DoD  and  appointed  the 
Director,  NSA  as  Chief  of  the  CSS.  The  NSA/CSS  has 
two  primary  missions  --  a  COMSEC  mission  and  a 
foreign  intelligence  information  SIGINT  mission. 
d.  (U)  The  DIA  was  established  by  DoD  Directive 
5105.21,  on  21  August  1961,  and  was  charged  to 
improve  coordination  and  management  of 
non-cryplologjc  Defense  Intelligence  collection  and 
production  activities  and  reduce  duplication  of  effort 
by  the  Services.  The  DIA,  under  provisions  of  the 
National  Security  Act  of  1947,  as  amended,  operates 
under  the  direction,  authority,  and  control  of  the 
Secretary  of  Defense.  The  DIA  is  responsible  for 
producing  and  disseminating  Defense  Intelligence  to 
satisfy  the  intelligence  requirements  of  the  Secretary 
of  Defense,  the  JCS,  and  major  components  of  the 
DoD.  It  accomplishes  this  either  by  use  of  internal 
resources  (through  the  management,  control,  and 
coordination  of  the  intelligence  functions  of  other 
DoD  activities)  or  through  cooperation  with  other 
intelligence   organizations. 
e.  (U)  The  scope  of  intelligence  activities  of  the 
Military  Services  was  altered  considerably  with  the 
establishment  of  the  NSA  and  DIA.  However,  the 
Services  maintain  intelligence  staffs  at  all  major  levels 
of  command  to  carry'  out  the  statutory  responsibilities 
of  the  Military  Departments  for  intelligence  planning, 
programming,  and  training,  as  well  as  to  support  new 
weapons  systems  and  combat  developments. 
f.  (U)    In    October,    1977,   the    Office    of  the 
Secretary  of  Defense  (OSD)  was  reorganized, 
establishing  an  Under  Secretary  of  Defense  for  Policy 
and  an  Under  Secretary  of  Defense  for  Research  and 
Engineering. 
(1)  (U)  The  Under  Secretary  for  Policy  is  the 
primary  advisor  and  staff  assistant  for  such  matters  as 
international  politi:al  military  affairs  and  arms 
limitation     negotiations,     inlelligence     analysis     and
D1AM  56-3 
requirements,  and  the  integration  of  departmental 
plans  and  policies  with  overall  national  security 
objectives. 
(a)  (U)  Reporting  to  him  is  the  Assistant 
Secretary  of  Defense  (International  Security  Affairs) 
(ASD(ISA)),  who  is  also  the  principal  Deputy  to  the 
Under  Secretary  for  Policy. 
(b)  (U)  Subordinate  to  the  ASD(ISA)  is  the 
DUSD(PR),  who  is  the  principal  staff  assistant  for 
Defense  policy  as  it  relates  to  communications  and 
intelligence  analysis,  requirements  and  priorities,  as 
well  as  other  policy  matters  as  determined  by  the 
Secretary  of  Defense.  The  DUSD(PR)  also  reviews  all 
intelligence  and  counler  intelligence  programs  and 
budgets  to  insure  that  they  are  consistent  with  DoD 
policy  and  respond  to  valid  requirements. 
(2)  (U)  The  Under  Secretary  for  Research  and 
Engineering  is  the  primary  advisor  and  staff  assistant 
on  matters  relating  to  research,  engineering, 
acquisition,  communications,  command  and  control, 
and  intelligence  resources  (including  related  warning 
and  reconnaissance  activities). 
(a)  (U)  Reporting  to  the  Under  Secretary 
for  Research  and  Engineering  is  the  ASD(C3l),  who 
is  responsible  for  the  functions  formerly  performed  by 
the  Director,  Telecommunications  and  Command  and 
Control  Systems  and  for  the  intelligence  resource 
management  functions,  formerly  performed  by  the 
Assistant  Secretary  of  Defense  (Intelligence).  He  also 
serves  as  principal  staff  assistant  in  carrying  out  the 
Secretary's  responsibilities  as  Executive  Agent  of  the 
National  Communications  System  (NCS). 
2.  (U)  PRIMARY  DEFENSE  INTELLIGENCE  GOAL 
AND  MISSION: 
a.  (U)  The  Defense  Intelligence  Community,  by 
virtue  of  differing  military  intelligence  requirements, 
has  a  complex  organizational  structure.  The  DIA  and 
NSA  are  Defense  agencies  while  other  DoD  intelligence 
components  are  established  at  various  levels  in  the 
Services  and  U<5LS  Commands.  Thus,  in  many  cases, 
different  departmental  views  dictate  different 
applications  of  the  same  finished  intelligence  products. 
The  varied  roles  of  these  DoD  intelligence  components 
are  described  as  a  "system"  in  terms  of  the 
fundamental  intelligence  goals,  missions,  and  functions 
which  represent  the  current  basis  of  all  DoD 
intelligence   activities. 
8  July    1979 
system  is  to  provide  Government  policymakers, 
military  planners,  and  commanders  with  a  reliable, 
timely  and  comprehensive  appreciation  of: 
(1)  (U)  The  capabilities,  vulnerabilities,  and 
options  available  to  foreign  powers  or  factions  to  use 
their  armed  foiccs  or  other  governmental' power  in  a 
manner  which  will  affect  U.S.  national  interests,  or 
U.S.  military  capabilities. 
(2)  (U)  Situations  and  contingencies  which  may 
require  use  of  U.S.  Armed  Forces  or  other  Defense 
programs  by  the  United  States. 
(3)  (U)  Oilier  foreign  factors  which  may  affect 
the  capabilities  and/or  options  available  to  the  United 
Slates,  and  which  may  affect  planning  and 
programming  for  future  use  of  its  armed  forces. 
(4)  (U)  The  threat  posed  by  hostile  foreign 
intelligence  activities,  sabotage,  and  subversion  against 
the  DoD  or  its  military  units  and  forces. 
c.  (U)  The  mission  of  Defense  Intelligence  in 
achieving  this  goal  is  to  develop  and  maintain  an 
intelligence  system  which: 
(1)  (U)  Satisfies  the  foreign  military  intelligence 
needs  of  the  President,  the  NSC,  the  Secretary  of 
Defense  and  his  Assistants,  the  JCS,  the  Military 
Services,  U&S  Commands  and  their  component  and 
joint  forces  commanders,  and  other  designated  U.S. 
and  international  recipients. 
(2)  (U)  Provides  a  comprehensive,  foreign 
military  intelligence  data  base  of  current,  basic, 
estimative,  special,  S&T,  and  management  intelligence 
required    for   the   planning   and   conduct   of  military 
operations. 
v  (3)  (U)  Provides  the  counterintelligence 
capability  required  to  pro'ect  the  DoD  against  hostile 
foreign  intelligence  activities  (espionage,  sabotage, 
subversion),  and  foreign  terrorist  activities. 
(4)  (U)  Functions  with  efficiency  and  maximum 
economy  consistent  with  the  needs  of  national 
security. 
(5)  (U)  Adjusts  to  changing  requirements  in 
periods  of  tension  and  to  the  needs  of  engaged  forces 
in  limited  war,  with  minimum  reorganization  and 
augmentation. 
(

b.  (U)  The  basic  goal  of  the  Defense  Intelligence 
(6)  (U)  Survives  and  continues  to  operate  under
o 
o 
o 
8  July   1979 
conditions     of     £cncra'     war     providing     adequate 
redundancy  and  backup  capability. 
3.  (U)  THE  DEFENSE  INTELLIGENCE  SYSTEM: 
a.  (U)  The  operation  of  the  Defense  Intelligence 
system  is  based  on  sequential  steps  wLi-h  can  best  be 
described  as  (he  Defense  Intelligence  cycle.  This 
includes  the  standard  intelligence  functions  of 
requirements,  collection,  processing,  production, 
dissemination,  and  support.  As  discussed  below,  they 
augment  the  responsibilities,  doctrines,  and  procedures 
for  guiding  joint  intelligence  activities  of  the  Armed 
Forces  as  outlined  in  JCS  Publication  2,  "Unified 
Action  Armed  Forces  (UNAAF)." 
b.  (U)  The  following  list  includes  those  steps 
which  encompass  the  Defense  Intelligence  cycle. 
(Specific  use  of  each  step  may  vary  within  various 
functional  or  organizational  activities.) 
(1)  (U)  Enunciation  by  the  user  of  his  needs  for 
foreign  military  intelligence  based  on  approved 
strategy. 
(2)  (U)  Validation  of  user  needs  for  such 
intelligence  based  on  objectives  and  priorities. 
(3)  (U)  Assessment  of  whether  the  needed 
foreign  military  intelligence  is  available  within  the  U.S. 
intelligence  community,  or  can  be  expected  to  become 
available  as  a  result  of  programmed/budgeted 
resources,  or  scheduled  production. 
(4)  (U)  Formulation  of  a  production  program 
and  assignment  of  production  priorities  and 
responsibilities  to  insure  the  production  of  intelligence 
which  satisfies  the  validated  needs  of  intelligence  users. 
(5)  (U)  Production  and  dissemination  of  foreign 
military  intelligence  products  based  on  information 
already  available. 
(6)  (U)  Identification  of  the  additional 
information  to  be  collected,  if  available  data  is 
inadequate  or  incomplete,  indicating  items  for  priority 
collection  and  processing  which  are  most  needed  for 
intelligence  production  purposes. 
(7)  (U)  Consolidation  and  validation  of  collection 
requirements. 
(8)  (U)  Allocation  of  collection  task?  according 
to  priorities  and  the  specific  capabilities  of  collection 
resources. 
D1AM   56  3 
(9)  (U)  Collection  and  reporting  of  required 
information. 
(10)  (U)  Processing  and  data  reduction  of 
selected  collection  information  to  make  it  more 
useable  to  the  production  analyst  and/or  for  storage 
in  a  data  base.  •  ' 
(11)  (U)  Transmittal  of  collected  and  processed 
information  to  appropriate  production  elements. 
(12)  (U)  Transformation  of  this  data  by 
consolidation,  correlation,  evaluation,  analysis,  and 
synthesis  into  finished  foreign  military  intelligence 
products. 
(13)  (U)  Dissemination  of  such  finished 
intelligence  to  appropriate  intelligence  users. 
(14)  (U)  Evaluation  of  product  utility  by  users. 
(15)  (U)  Review  of  product  evaluations  and 
intelligence  cycle  operations  for  system  improvement. 
c.  (U)  The  Defense  Intelligence  system,  in  actual 
operation,  is  an  interrelated  and  complex  process.  It 
involves  effective  "meshing"  of  command, 
administrative,  and  intelligence  processes  to  insure  that 
requested  Defense  Intelligence  is  collected,  processed, 
produced,  and  disseminated  to  authorized  users  at  all 
echelons  of  the  DoD  and  elsewhere  in  the  U.S. 
Government.  This  requires  proper  training,  assignment, 
and  worldwide  deployment  of  intelligence  specialists 
of  all  types.  Additionally,  the  acquisition  and 
deployment  of  sophisticated  collection,  processing, 
communications,  production,  and  technical  support 
facilities  are  necessary  to  insure  that  the  Defense 
Intelligence  cycle  satisfies  quantitatively  and 
qualitatively  the  requirements  of  all  authorized  users 
of  Defense  Intelligence.

national  intelligence.  The  Director,  DIA,  serves  as  both 
the  substantive  intelligence  advisor  to  the  Secretary  of 
Defense  and  the  intelligence  staff  officer  of  the  JCS. 
In  these  capacities,  the  Director, DIA,  provides  foreign 
intelligence  and  counterintelligence  for  military  and 
defense  purposes,  supervises  the  DoD  indications  and 
warning  (I..VW)  s\  stem,  and  coordinates,  validates,  and 
evaluates    the    satisfaction    of    all    DoD    intelligence
D1AM  56-3 
collection  requirements.  As  program  manager  for  the 
General  Defense  Intelligence  Program  (GD1P)  and  as 
the  DoD  senior  substantive  voice  for  foreign 
intelligence  matters,  the  Director,  DIA,  serves  as  a 
member  of  the  NF1B.  In  this  capacity,  he  advises  the 
DCI  concerning  the  NF1P  budget  and  production, 
review,  and  coordination  of  national  foreign 
intelligence. 
(2)  (U)  The  Director,  DIA,  has  broad  authority 
for  the  following  four  basic  management  roles  within 
the  DoD: 
(a)  (U)  The  principal  military  intelligence 
officer  and  advisor  to  the  Secretary  of  Defense  for  all 
substantive  foreign  military  intelligence   maiters. 
(b)  (U)  The  coordinator  of  all  collection  and 
production  of  finished  foreign  military  intelligence.  In 
this  role,  he  is  responsive  to  all  major  users  of  Defense 
Intelligence. 
(c)  (U)  Responsible  primarily  to  the 
Chairman,  JCS,  for  providing  foreign  military 
intelligence,  counterintelligence  and  related  staff 
support  to  the  Joint  Staff  and  the  U.S.  military 
establishment. 
(d)  (U)  Program   Manager  for  the  GDIP. 
(3)  (U)  The  DIA  has  authority  under  DoD 
Directive  5105.21,  to  issue  DoD-wide  manuals  or 
regulations  governing  collection,  production, 
dissemination,  integration,  and  evaluation  of  foreign 
military  intelligence.  This  authority  establishes  DIA's 
key  role  in  the  Defense  Intelligence  Community.  The 
impact  of  DIA  management  controls  over  general 
non-cryptologic  military  intelligence  resources  varies 
with  different  intelligence   functional  areas. 
(4)  (U)  For  military  S&T  intelligence  production, 
the  DIA  formulates  DoD-wide  program  planning 
guidance  and  exercises  comprehensive  management 
control,  although  most  S&.T  facilities  are  operated  by 
the  Services.  For  most  other  Defense  Intelligence 
activities,  the  DIA  validates  collection  and  production 
requirements,  tasks  collectors,  assigns  priorities,  and 
coordinates  production  schedules.  On  the  other  hand, 
DIA  management  authority  over  the  intelligence  staffs 
of  Service  headquarters  and  V&S  Command 
headquarters  is  limited  to  review,  coordination,  and/or 
technical  direction  of  those  foreign  military 
intelligence  functions  retained  by  the  Services  or 
assigned   to  those  commands. 
8  July    1979 
(5)  (U)  The  production  of  general  intelligence 
within  the  DoD  is  accomplished  by  the  Military 
Services,  the  U&S  Commands,  and  DIA.  The  overall 
management  of  this  program  rests  with  the  DIA.  To 
fulfill  its  responsibility  for  developing  a  single  DoD 
general  intelligence  production  program,  the  DIA  has 
established  a  production  management  system. 
(a)  (U)  This  coordinated  and  mutually, 
supporting  system  consists  of  three  parts:  production 
management  documentation,  production  management 
conferences  and  visits,  and  participation  in  the  annual 
Planning,  Programming  and  Budgeting  System  (PFBS) 
cycle.  The  purpose  of  the  documentation  program  is 
to  provide  an  informational  framework  to  facilitate 
sound  decisions  concerning  the  scope  and  direction  of 
DoD  general  intelligence  production.  Specifically, 
management  documentation  is  required:  to  review  and 
coordinate  the  general  intelligence  production  activities 
of  the>  Commands  and  the  Services;  to  support 
resource-related  judgments;  and  to  respond  to  queries 
(by  oversight  staffs)  on  the  community's  current  and 
future  intelligence  production.  The  information  and 
documentation  maintained  under  this  program  focuses 
on  the  entire  DoD  production  community.  The 
Production  Responsibilities  Document  (PRD)  details 
the  geographic  and  topical  areas  of  responsibility  of 
each  DoD  general  intelligence  production  organization 
to  serve  as  a  basic  reference  on  all  DoD  intelligence 
production.  It  is  also  designed  to  become  a  primary 
tool  in  justifying  production  resource  requests  and  in 
tasking  and  scheduling  the  flow  of  intelligence 
production. 
(b)  (U)  The  second  basic  document  is  the 
Defense  Intelligence  Production  Schedule  (DIPS) 
designed  to  provide  an  inventory  of  planned  DoD 
general  intelligence  production.  It  is  used  by 
production  managers  for  such  actions  as  elimination 
of  duplicative  production,  establishment  of  mutual 
supporting  relationships  and  to  advise  collectors  of 
future  production  tasks  requiring  collection  action. 
The  DIPS  is  also  used  by  consumers  to  review 
programmed  production,  vis-a-vis  their  own  needs,  as 
a  basis  for  identifying  unsatisfied  intelligence 
production  requirements. 
(c)  (U)  Under  procedures  adopted  by  the 
October  1978  DoD  General  Intelligence  Production 
Management  Conference,  the  DIPS  file  will  distinguish 
between  products  and  files  "endorsed"  by  DIA  and 
those  produced  at  local  Command  initiative.  Further, 
the  DIPS  will  be  a  primary  means  of  establishing  the 
degree    to    which    the    production    effort    satisfies    a
o 
8  July   1979 
priority  intelligence  need,  is  redundant  or  duplicative 
of  other  production,  and  is  within  the  limits  of  the 
producer's  responsibilities  cited  in  the  PRD. 
(d)  (U)  Under  current  procedures,  each 
intelligence  producer  undertakes  an  active  evaluation 
program  of  his  DIPS  production.  Summary  results  of 
user  surveys  conducted  under  this  program  are 
provided  to  the  D1A  and  arc  maintained  as  a  discreet 
and  privileged  Production  Evaluation  File.  The  file  is 
used  to  respond  to  Congressional  queries  on  DoD  wide 
production  effectiveness  and/or  a  basis  for  making 
resource  judgments. 
(6)  (U)  The  JCS  charged  DIA,  in  SM  262-62, 
6  March  1962,  with  providing  foreign  military 
intelligence  support  to  the  U&S  Commands.  To 
accomplish  this,  the  DIA  operates  mainly  through  the 
military  chain  of  command,  working  with  the 
intelligence  staffs  of  the  U&S  Commands  to  improve 
their  intelligence  forces,  to  insure  rapid  exchange  of 
intelligence,  and  to  provide  intercommand  support 
arrangements.  As  necessary,  such  measures  are 
submitted  for  approval  by  the  commander-in-chief 
concerned  and  the  DIA.  Those  measures  requiring  JCS 
approval  are  processed  by  DIA  in  its  Joint  Staff  role 
in  accordance  with  JCS  procedures. 
(7)  (U)  The  Director,  DIA,  has  established  a 
formal  coordination  mechanism,  the  Military 
Intelligence  Board  (MIB),  so  he  can  officially  obtain 
Service  advice  and  assistance  in  Defense  Intelligence 
matters.  He  is  the  chairman  of  the  MIB,  whose 
members  include  the  Service  intelligence  chiefs.  MIB 
meetings  are  called  by  the  DIA  to  discuss  Defense 
Intelligence  activities,  problems,  and  estimates  and  to 
insure  that  all  Service  intelligence  views  are  aired. 
Through  this  participative  approach,  the  best  possible 
intelb'gence  advice  can  be  presented  to  the  Chairman, 
JCS,  the  Secretary  of  Defense,  and   the  NFIB. 
(8)  (U)  A  MIB  subcommittee,  generally  referred 
to  as  the  MIB  Working  Group,  was  established  by  the 
DIA  in  September  1974.  The  membership  consists  of 
senior  officers  or  civilians  from  each  of  the  Services 
as  designated  by  the  Service  Intelligence  Griefs.  The 
Assistant  Deputy  Director  for  Plans  and  Policy  chairs 
the  MIB  Working  Group.  The  working  group  provides 
a  forum  for  addressing  topics  and  problem  areas  of 
mutual  concern  to  military  intelligence  in  support  of 
the  MIB.  It  also  provides  a  medium  for  rapid 
communication,  problem  definitions,  solutions  and 
cooidination  among  the  DIA  and  the  Service 
intelligence  organizations  at   the   Sub  MIB  level.

k.  (U)  U&S  Commands. 
*  (1)  (U)  The  operational  intelligence  role  of  the 
U&S  Commands  is  to  insure  the  availability  of  foreign 
military  intelligence  necessary  to  support  the  command 
mission.  Related  responsibilities  are  to  insure  necessary 
counterintelligence  measures  to  protect  t< their 
commands;  to  exercise  "operational  command  '  and 
thus,  guidance,  over  the  intelligence  activities  of  their 
component  commands,  subordinate  unified  commands, 
and  task  forces;  and  to  satisfy  the  intelligence 
collection  and  reporting  requirements  of  higher 
authority.  The  intelligence  chiefs  of  the  U&S 
Commands  are  responsible  to  their 
commanders-in-chief  for  command-wide  intelligence 
planning  for  support  of  the  command's  operational 
missions.  This  requires  integration  and  coordination  of

most  Defense  Intelligence  operations  in  their 
command's  theater  of  opcrjtions.  The  U&S 
Commanders  are  not  formally  involved  in  the  annual 
programming  and  budgeting  for  component  command 
intelligence  resources.  However,  the  pogrom  managers 
informally  request  their  views.  While  the  Services 
furnish  trained  intelligence  manpower  and  financial 
support  for  the  component  command  intelligence 
activities,  the  opci.iling  policies  of  those  components 
emanate  from  the  U&S  Commander  through  his 
intelligence  staff,  which  prepares  intelligence  reports 
or  studies  for  command-wide  use,  within  the  limits  of 
available  resources.  In  most  cases,  DlA,  CIA  or  State 
Department  finished  intelligence  is  combined  with 
internally  produced  data  for  this  purpose.  See

finished 
intelligence  consists  of  sevcraJ  general  functional 
categories,  as  discussed  in  the  next  paragraph.  For 
clarity,  it  is  desirable  to  consider  finished  intelligence 
products  in  these  categories,  rather  than  in  terms  of 
levels  of  use,  e.g.,  national,  strategic,  tactical,  or 
operations.  Some  of  these  terms  are  defined  in 
enclosure  2  due  to  usage  elsewhere.  In  general, 
however,  most  of  these  and  related  terms  define  types 
of  intelligence  products  which  can  be  broadly  included 
in  the  initial  categories  discussed  below: 
(3)  (U)  Four  distinct  categories  of  foreign 
military  intelligence  are  normally  produced  within  the 
Defense  Intelligence  Community,  having  products  in 
a  variety  of  formats,  with  different  details  of  coverage 
and  varying  reporting  frequencies,  all  keyed  to  user 
needs.  These  categories  are: 
(a)  (U)  Current  military  intclligencc-usdally 
concise,  brief,  and  timely  studies  or  reports  *,on 
significant  foreign  military  and  related  activities, 
"time critical"  indications  of  significant  existing  or 
impending  foreign  military  trends,  activities  or  threats, 
or  counterintelligence  reports. 
(b)  (U)  Basic  military  intelligence-covering 
the  widest  spectrum  of  information  such  as  order  of 
battle,  target  data,  biographic  data,  regional  studies, 
economic,  politico-military,  insurgency,  terrorism, 
military  geography,  counterintelligence,  and  other 
encyclopedic  categories. 
(c)  (U)  Military  S&T  intelligence -which 
irr  udes  specific  studies  of  developmental  work  on 
foreign  weapons  systems  and  materiel  and  their 
associated  operational  performance  and  technical 
characteristics,  countermeasure  techniques,  nuclear 
energy  programs  and  weapon  trends  (including 
stockpiles),  electronic  warfare  capabilities,  R&D 
activities  and  trends,  technical  aspects  of  multi-system 
operations,  developments  in  basic  applied  sciences  and 
technologies  with  warfare  potential. 
(d)  (U)  Military  intelligence  estimates-which 
include    assessments   of   foreign    military    capabilities, 
limitations,   possible   courses    of  action,  and    future 
trends  of  foreign  military  forces  and  weapons  systems. 
f.  (U)  Intelligence  Production  and  Reporting. 
(1)  (U)  Requests  for  both  general  and  S&T 
finished  intelligence  arc  normally  validated  f>y  the  D1A. 
Requests  to  the  DIA  for  Defense  Intelligence  come 
from  throughout  the  DoD,  but  also  from  many  other 
governmental  departments,  the  White  House  staff  or 
from  committees  of  the  Congress  which  deal  with 
national  security  matters.  To  fulfill  such  repetitive  or 
continuing  requirements,  specific  intelligence  products 
are  programmed  by  the  DIA.  These  intelligence 
products,  including  those  produced  at  all  echelons,  are 
periodically  reviewed  to  insure  that  they  continue  to 
be  responsive  to  validated  intelligence  requirements 
and  are  not  substantively  duplicative. 
(2)  (U)  The  DoD  Intelligence  Community 
receives  guidance  concerning  DoD  user  requirements 
through  the  Key  Intelligence  Requirements  (KIR) 
program.  The  KIR's  are  those  military  intelligence 
requirements  which  surface  as  most  critical  to 
decisionmakers  for  the  formulation  of  policy  and 
decisions  in  the  area  of  national  security.  The  purpose 
of  the  KIR's  is  to  anticipate,  identify,  and  address 
critical  defense-related  intelligence  requirements  and  to  /
provide  specific  intelligence  questions  for  the  DoD 
needed  to  focus  collection  and  production  efforts, 
create   audit  trails  of  requirements,  efforts,  products 
and  user  satisfaction,  and  evaluate  the  DoD  Intelligence 
Community  performance. 
(a)  (U)  In  order  to  provide  more  explicit 
guidance  concerning  intelligence  efforts  for  the 
foreseeable  future,  the  JCS  issues  the  Intelligence 
Priorities  for  Strategic  Planning  (IPSP),  which  identifies 
countries  and  military  intelligence  requirements  of 
interest  to  the  United  States  and  is  the  basic  guide 
for  the  assignment  of  priorities  to  DoD  intelligence 
production  and  collection.  In  the  development  of  this 
document,  several  documents  which  provide  official 
expressions  of  strategy  and/or  intelligence  needs  are 
considered.  These  include  the  DCID  1/2,  the  VS. 
Intelligence  Community's  national  objectives  and 
priorities  document;  Annex  A,  Intelligence,  Joint 
Strategic  Capabilities  Plan  (JSCP),  which  contains 
intelligence  tasks  and  planning  guidance  for  the  U&S 
Commands  for  the  oncoming  fiscal  year;  Annex  A, 
Intelligence,  of  the  Joint  Strategic  Planning  Document 
(JSPD),  which  covers  the  8  mid-range  years  and 
documents  the  JCS  and  U&S  Command  intelligence 
needs,  selected  intelligence  estimates;  and  the  Unified 
Command    Plan    (UCP).    The    DIA,    as    the    primary
o 
o 
o 
8  July    1979 
military  iniclligcnce  producer  and/or  coordinator. uses 
the  fPSP  as  a  means  of  guiding  iniclligcnce  activities 
for  tlic  oncoming  years,  principally  those  concerning 
production  and  collection  lasking,  and  related  support 
functions.  Through  this  process,  improved  pioduction 
schedules  can.be  developed,  more  explicit  and  timely 
collection  actions  can  be  piogrammed,  and  the  quality 
of  intelligence  reporting  can  be  more  closely  aligned 
with  consumers'  needs. 
(b)  (U)  In  implementing  portions  of  the 
IPSP,  the  DIA  annually  updates  three  production  plans 
which  list  the  major  intelligence  products  to  be 
produced  by  all  Defense  activities.  Two  of  these  plans, 
the  DIPS,  for  genera]  intelligence,  and  the 
Counterintelligence  Publication  Registry  (C1PR), 
prescribe  who  is  to  produce  what  and  when  in  the 
area  of  general  intelligence.  The  CIPR  also  lists 
available  counterintelligence  products.  S&T  intelligence 
is  produced  in  accordance  with  a  Service  coordinated, 
DIA-approved  DoD  schedule  covering  current  and 
projected    fiscal   year    production.    This   schedule    is 
'maintained  by  quarterly  updates  in  response  to  Service 
inputs.  A  complete  listing  of  current,  valid  S&T 
intelligence  products  is  maintained  in  the  Scientific  and 
Technical  Intelligence  Register  (STIR)  which  is 
published  semi  annually.  Entries  contained  in  the  STIR 
include  anticipated  dates  of  scheduled  revisions  for 
each  product. 
(c)  (U)  Two  DIA  manuals  provide  guidance, 
policy  and  procedures  for  DoD-wide  military 
intelligence  production.  DlAM  57-3,  "General 
Intelligence  Production  (U),"  CONFIDENTIAL, 
establishes  policies  for  the  processing  and  pioduction 
of  all  DoD  finished  general  intelligence.  It  contains 
data  on  general  intelligence  production  management, 
standardization,  numbering  of  intelligence  subject 
publications,  production  scheduling,  reporting  formats 
and  related  guidance  information.  This  manual  also 
contains  organizational  charts  of  Defense  Intelligence 
pioduction  facilities  in  the  Military  Services  and  U&S 
Commands,  current  Defense  Intelligence  production 
responsibilities  of  these  organizations,  as  well  as  the 
DIA/CLA  division  of  responsibilities  for  overall  U.S. 
national  level  intelligence  production.  DIAM  75-1, 
"Scientific  and  Technical  Intelligence  Production  (U)," 
CONFIDENTIAL,  describes  the  DIA  S&T  production 
management  system  and  sets  forth  the  assigned 
responsibilities  of  DoD  components  in  the  system.  This 
manual  outlines  the  major  elements  of  the  system; i.e., 
production  management  structure,  production  program 
piocedure,  management  data  reporting,  information 
services,  foreign  materiel  exploitation  and  use  of 
re.atcd  technical  sensor  data.  These  manuals  are  issued 
DIAM  56-3 
periodically  under  the  authority  of  DuD  Directive 
5105.21. 
(3)  The     most     vital     task     of     Defense 
Intelligence  is  to  insure  the  immediate  reporting  lo  the 
National  Command  Authorities  (NCA)  of  indications 
and  warning  of  the  imminence  of  hostilities.  Worldwide 
Defense  indications  systems,  with  warning  centers  at 
various  echelons,  have  been  established  to  insure  the 
most  lapid  reporting  of  such  critical  intelligence  to  the 
President,  the  Secretary  of  Defense,  the  JCS.and  other 
U.S.  governmental  decisionmakers.  This  type  of 
intelligence  is  processed,  evaluated,  and  reported  by 
highly-skilled  and  experienced  Defense  Intelligence 
personnel  at  various  warning  centers  in  a  matter  of

accrcdiled,  overtly-assigned,  professional  U.S.  military 
icprescntativcs  who  arc  permanently  stationed  in  most 
foreign  capitals.  They  are  unique  elements  of  the  DoD 
intelligence  collection  system  and  are  in  regular 
personal  contact  with  foreign  military  officers  and 
officials  of  friendly,  neutral,  and  potentially  hostile 
countries.  Defense  Attaches,  usually  senior  military 
officers,  provide  Defense,  State  Department,  and  other 
U.S.  Government  officials  with  rapid  and  unique 
"firsthand"  reporting  on  assigned  countries,  as  well 
as  providing  direct  advice  and  assistance  to  their 
"country  team"  chiefs,  the  resident  U.S.  Ambassadors. 
Defense  Attaches  represent,  simultaneously  in  many 
cases,  the  DoD,  the  JCS,  and  their  respective  Services 
to  their  host  government's  military  establishment.  In 
many  cases  the  attaches  are  the  only  US.  Defense  or 
Service  representatives  in  particular  countries  or 
regions,  and  must  provide  U.S.  official  representational 
services  and  functions  on  behalf  of  the  Secretary  of 
Defense,  the  Secretaries  of  the  Military  Departments, 
the  Chairman  and  members  of  the  JCS,  the  Chiefs  of

Intelligence  collection  tasks. 
appropriate  echelons  throughout  Defense  Intelligence. 
(8)  With  some  exceptions,  foreign  military 
intelligence  produced  at  DoD  (DIA)  echelons  must  be 
supplemented  by  local  production  at  operational 
echelons  in  order  to  satisfy  the  detail  of  reporting 
required  by  a  particular  command.  This 'requirement 
for  local  production  normally  increases  down  the 
echelons  of  command,  commensurate  with  increasing 
needs  for  detail,  timeliness,  and  special  orientation  to 
local  situations.  At  the  tactical  level,  commanders  are 
necessarily  heavily  dependent  on  their  own  staffs  and 
other  assigned  resources  for  immediate  production  of 
intelligence    to    support    ongoing    operations.  ''     *" 
(6)  (U)  Each  Military  Service  has  S&T 
intelligence  production  activities  which  come  under  the 
direct  management  authority  of  the  Director,  DIA. 
Under  this  centralized  management  system,  the 
Military  Services  and  other  DoD  components  submit 
current  and  foreseeable  needs  for  foreign  military  S&T 
and  related  intelligence  products.  These  production 
requirements  are  then  reviewed,  validated,  and  assigned 
priorities.  The  majority  are  tasked  to  the  Service  S&T 
production  elements  by  the  DIA.  These  tasking 
assignments  are  based  on  assigned  areas  of 
responsibilities.  In  this  manner,  most  of  the  S&T 
products  prepared  by  the  Services  are  developed  to 
satisfy  DoD-wide  intelligence  requirements  in  all 
military  S&T  areas. 
g.  (U)  Intelligence  Support  Functions.  In 
addition  to  the  basic  functions  which  comprise  the 
primary  intelligence  process  of  collection,  processing, 
production,  and  dissemination,  there  are  certain 
functions  which  contribute  to  this  process  and  which 
are  integral  elements  of  the  Defense  Intelligence

CHAPTER  5 
DEFENSE  INTELLIGENCE  MANAGEMENT  SYSTEM 
1.  (U)  GENERAL: 
a.  (U)  The  complexity  and  varied  responsibilities 
of  the  Defense  Intelligence  Community,  together  with 
the  reality  of  increasingly  limited  resources,  require  an 
integrated  management  system  controlling  all  DoD 
intelligence  activities.  To  achieve  this,  improved 
planning,  programming,  and  evaluation  of  products  and 
services  must  be  accomplished.  .These  management 
activities  are  affected  by  a  variety  of  influences  such 
as  U.S.  national  goals,  changing  military  strategy  and 
objectives,  financial  constraints  and  the  expected 
military  threats  to  the  United  States  and  its  interests. 
Development  of  realistic  intelligence  resource  programs 
and  operational  intelligence  capabilities  by  Defense 
Intelligence  managers  are  essential  to  a  cohesive  and 
effective  Defense  Intelligence  management  system. 
b.  (U)  An  important  aspect  of  the  Defense  i 
Intelligence  management  system  is  the  interrelationship 
between  planning,  programming,  and  budgeting  (PPB) 
for  development  of  future  intelligence  resources  and  ■ 
the  use  of  available  resources  to  satisfy  present ' 
intelligence  operational  requirements.  The  planning 
and  programming  for  most  Defense  Intelligence  future 
resources  are  performed  by  senior  DoD,  DIA,  and  NSA 
program  managers  in  close  coordination  with 
intelligence  officials  of  the  Services.  On  the  other  hand, 
most  operational  Defense  Intelligence  collection, 
processing,  and  some  production  activities  are  carried 
out  by  military  commands  which  must  be  responsive 
to  the  military  chain  of  command.  To  insure 
compatibility,  there  must  be  close  coordination 
between  the  planners  and  the  programmers  and  the 
current  operational  managers.  Thus,  intelligence 
officials  and  military  commanders  at  all  levels  must 
have  a  continuing  voice  in  their  intelligence 
requirements  and  in  the  products  and  services 
developed  in  their  behalf. 
2.  (U)  DEFENSE  INTELLIGENCE  PLANNING: 
a.  (U)  Coordinated  Planning. 
(1)  Coordinated    planning    of    all    Defense 
Intelligence  activities  is  essential  to  reaching  Defense 
Intelligence    goals. 
Since  Defense 
Intelligence  supports  military  planning  based  on 
national  policy  and  strategy,  it  must  be  Veyed  to 
national   and    Defense    goals  and    objectives.  *~ 
(2)  (U)  This  planning  system,  in  some  respects, 
parallels  but  docs  not  duplicate  required  Defense 
Intelligence  support  for  JCS  planning.  It  is  designed 
to  integrate  all  Defense  Intelligence  planning  to 
maintain  the  capability  to  simultaneously  and  directly 
support  the  President,  the  NSC,  other  national 
intelligence  requirements,  the  Secretary  of  Defense,  as 
well  as  the  JCS.  This  planning  system  is  designed  to 
insure  the  most  efficient  allocation  of  Defense 
Intelligence  resources  to  achieve  the  somewhat 
differing  NSC  and  JCS  requirements.  The  Defense 
Intelligence  planning  system  will  include  internal 
evaluation  mechanism  for  collection,  production,  and 
reporting  accountability  to  insure  a  viable  management
D1AM  56-3 
directly     to     approved     goals, 
system,     icsponsivc 
oljcctivcs  and  related  priorities.

'  (2)  JCS  planners  concerned  with  mid-:;,:, re 
force  planning  largely  depend  on  Defense  Intelligence 
for  the  data  they  need  for  this  purpose.  Future  V  S.

that     may  affect    U.S.    national    interests    in     the 
forthcoming  10  years.  These  estimates  are  based  on 
intelligence  from  the  DIA.  the  Services,  and  lhe_JJ&S 
Commands. 
(4)  _  Defense  Intelligence  mid-range  planning, 
itself,  is  primarily  concerned  with  identification  and 
selection  of  future  resources,  which  must  be 
programmed   several   years  in  advance.

/ 
(5)  (U)      Realistic      resource      planning      and 
programming    for   the   mid-range   period   must   occur 
every  year,  building  upon  PPB  actions  and  decisions 
of  previous  years  and  laying  the  foundation  for  later 
budgeting  for  actual  intelligence  capabilities  for  current 
use.    In    this   phase,   Defense    Intelligence    mid-range 
requirements   and    priorities  are   translated   into    the 
types     and     costs     of    intelligence     resources    it    is 
anticipated  will  be  needed  in  the  short-range  period. 
This  results  in  decisions  to  request  specific  collection, 
production,    and    related    support    resources   believed 
required  to  obtain  the  desired  information,  to  process  I 
it,  and  then  to  produce  the  required  intelligence.  Great  : 
care   must    be   exercised   in   the   programming  phase.  I 
Future  needs  for  intelligence  cannot  be  met  if  required  ' 
resources  are  not  carefully  programmed,  fully  funded, ', 
or  procured.  Additionally,  personnel  must  be  properly  \ 
trained  and  equipped  in  time  to  be  deployed  within  . 
the  periods  required  by  the  President's  strategy. 
(6)  (U)  The  Defense  Intelligence  Plan  provides  a 
framework  for  DoD-wide  integrated  intelligence 
planning.  It  makes  use  of  the  JIEP  and  the  D1PP  in 
describing  the  future  threat  in  terms  of  implications 
for  Defense  Intelligence  in  tiie  mid-range  period.  It  is 
applicable  to  those  elements  of  the  DoD  involved  in 
planning  and  programming  for  intelligence  as  a  source 
document  for:  a  description  of  the  threat  as  it  relates 
to  intelligence  and  the  intelligence  environment  in  the 
mid-range       time      frame;      a      statement      of      the

comprehensive  and  key  intelligence  needs  av.sinst 
;  which  intelligence  must  work  during  this  period,  a 
presentation  of  prioritized  capabilities  to  achieve 
required  resources  to  overcome  inadequacies  in  the 
support  of  Defense  intelligence.;  and  guidance  in  the 
preparation  of  plans  in  specific   functional   areas. 
f.  (U)  Shvrt-Fange  Intelligence  Planning. 
(1)  (U)     Integrated       short-range       operational 
planning  primarily  involves  development,  coordination, 
and  assignment   of  production  and  related  collection 
tasks  for  the  next  2  fiscal  years.  Such  planning  must 
be  related  directly  to  current  user  needs  and  to  existing 
or    budgeted   resources.   It   is   also  an   outgrowth   of 
mid-range  resources  program  decisions.  The  short-range 
period  generally  covers  2  fiscal  years,  the  current  year 
and    the   budget    year,   described    in    DoD  Directive 
7045.7.  In  most  cases,  the  entire  period  can  be  covered 
by    cuirent    intelligence    collection    and    production 
tasking.    Since    existing    resources    are    involved    for 
current    fiscal    year    operational    planning,  resources 
programmed     for     use     or     procurement     in     the 
forthcoming  budget  year  usually  have  been,  or  shortly 
will  be,  approved  by  the  Secretary  of  Defense  and  the 
President.  While    these   resources   cannot  be  used  or 
procured     until    final    Presidential    signature    on    a 
Congressional    appropriation    act,   this  will   normally 
occur    in    sufficient    time    for    continuous    current 
planning  for  the  entire  short-range  period. 
-  » 
(2)  To      support      short  -range     planning, 
intelligence  estimates  must  be  explicit  as  to  foreign 
military  capabilities,  trends,  and  force  le.els  which  are 
expected      during      the      period       "  ' 
g.  (U)  Summary.  The  Defense  Intelligence 
planning  system  is  intended  to  integrate  all  military

PLANNING,  PROGRAMMING,  AND  BUDGETING 
(PPB).      - 
a.  (U)  Defense  Intelligence  PPB  Responsibilities. 
(1)  Defense  Intelligence  resources  planning 
supports  orderly  development  of  the  needed 
intelligence  systems  and  military'  forces.  It  also 
supports  related  intelligence  resources  programming 
and  budgetary   requests  to  the  U.S.  Congress. 
(2)  (U)  Executive  Order  12036",  24  January 
1978,  defines  certain  intelligence  activities  of  Defense 
as  part  of  the  NFIP,  and  gives  the  DC1  full  and 
exclusive  authority  for  approval  of  the  NFIP  budget 
to  be  submitted  to  the  President.  Within  the  Defense 
portion  of  the  NFIP,  there  are  five  intelligence 
programs: 
(a)  (U)  The  Consolidated  Cryp,0'°Sic 
Program  (CCP)  which  comprises  efforts  of  the  NSA 
and  SCA's  eneaeed  in  the  S1G1NT  mission. 
(b)  (U)    Th€  Genera!    Defense    Intelligence 
Program      (GDIP)r    which      includes     all      Defense. 
)  pec 
3)T  whic 
Intelligence  activities  in  the  NFIP  except  S1G1NT  and 
specialized  national  programs. 
(c)  (U)  Air  Force  Special  Activities  and 
Navy  Special  Activities,  which  provide  essential 
information  to  national  policymakers  and  to  force 
commanders. 
(d)  (U)  The  Defense  Foreign 
Counterintelligence  (FCI)  Program,  which  consists  of 
the  counterintelligence  activities  of  the  three  Military- 
Departments. 
(3)  (U)  Deputy  Secretary  of  Defense 
Memorandum,  March  6,  1978,  subject: 
Implementation  of  Executive  Order  12036,  Replacing 
E.O.  11905,  specifically  assigns  responsibilities  within 
the  DoD  for  each  area  covered  by  the  Executive  Order. 
(4)  (U)  Approved  NFIP  programs  and  budgets  are 
entered  into  Defense  data  bases  and  are  included  in 
Defense  budgets  presented  to  Congress. 
b.  (U)  Defense  Intelligence  PDB  Cycle.  The 
various  programs  in  the  Defense  portion  of  the  NFIP 
proceed  through  similar  steps  in  the  PPB  cycle,  though 
there  are  some  differences.  However,  for  the  p.npose 
of  simplification,  the  GD1P  will  he  used  as  a  g.  rcraJ 
example  in  the  presentation  of  the  DoD  Intel!;. ence 
PPBS  below,  and  in  the  outline  of  the  DoD  Int.  'b_:nce 
PPBS  in  enclosure  I,  chart  5.  The  reader  should  be 
aware  that  variations  exist  between  programs  In  buef 
the  cycle  is  as  follows: 
■ 
(1)  (U)  Planning/Program  Guidance.  The  DoD 
PPB  cycle  for  a  specific  5-year  period  begins  with  the 
planning/program  guidance. 
(a)  (U)  The  DIA  prepares  the  JILP  (a  JCS 
document)  and  the  D1PP.  These  prcnide  the 
intelligence  estimative  foundations  for  prcpai.-n  >n  of 
the  JSPD. 
(b)  (U)  The  JSPD  is  a  mid  range  JCS 
planning  document  designed,  among  other  things,  to 
assist  the  Secretary  of  Defense  in  preparation  of  the 
Consolidated  Guidance  (CG). 
(c)  (U)  The  DIA  publishes  the  Defense 
Intelligence  Plan,  which  presents  a  view  of  the 
intelligence  capabilities  that  must  be  acquired  to 
overcome  inadequacies,  and,  in  the  form  of  required 
capabilities,  provides  inputs  to  the  Secretary  of 
Defense's  CG  for  the  GD1P,  CCP,  Air  Force  Special 
Activities  Program,  and  contributes  support  for  NFIP 
decisions  by  the  PRC(I). 
!  (d)  (U)  The   Program   Manager's   Guidance 
Memorandum  (PMGM)  is  issued  early  in  the  PPB  cycle 
to  provide  substantive  intelligence  guidance  to  be  used 
for  GDIP  programs. 
(e)  (U)  Secretary'  of  Defense  provides  broad 
policy  guidance  in  his  CG,  which  highlights  his  views 
and  assumptions  and  those  of  the  President  relating 
to  the  JSPD  strategy  and  related  intelligence  objectives 
and   priorities. 
(f)  (U)  The  DCI  issues  guidance  for  program 
and  budget  development  for  the  NFIP,  including  the 
NFIP  activities  managed  by  Defense. 
(g)  (U)  Using  the  DCI  guidance  and  the  CG, 
the  program  manager  issues  a  supplement  to  the  PMGM 
which  provides  definitive  information  and  specific 
instructions  for   GDJP  program   preparation. 
(2)  (U)  Programming. 
(a)  (U)  DIA  and  the  Military  Departments, 
as    components    in    the    GDIP,    prepare    and    submit
D1AM  56-3 
proposed  programs  lo  the  GDIP  Manager. 
(b)  (U)  The  GDIP  Program  Manager  reviews 
ihc  DIA  and  Services'  intelligence  resources  requests; 
specifically,  the  manpower  and  dollars  needed  lo 
achieve  specified-  intelligence  objectives  and 
Requirements.  Alternatives  are  considered  in  the  search 
for  the  optimal  allocation  of  resources.  The  process 
involves  reviewing  recommendations  of  the  DIA  and 
the  Military  Services,  plus  considerable  internal  review 
and  analysis.  The  final  program  judgments  result  from 
"cross-functional  review,"  based  partially  on 
quantitative  analyses  to  determine  which  are  the  most 
beneficial  "trade-offs." 
(c)  (U)  The  GDIP  Program  Manager's 
Recommended  Program  (PMRP)  is  developed  and 
coordinated  within  the  DoD  and  is  submitted  to  the 
DC1.  The  PMRP  also  ranks  all  the  individual  decision 
packages  (brief  justification  documents  which  include 
information  neccsvry  to  make  judgments)  on  program 
or  activity  levels  and  resource  requirements  included 
in  the  PMRP  -  from  the  most  important  to  the  least 
important. 
(d)  (U)  Tire  Program  Decision  Memorandum 
(PDM)  incorporates  DCI  decisions  into  the  DoD  PPB 
system. 
(e)  (U)  The  approved  programs  become  the 
basis  for  the  GDIP  budgets. 
(3)  (U)  Budgeting. 
FOR  THE  DIRECTOR: 
OFFICIAL: 
J.  H.  BOWMAN 
Acting  Assistant  Deputy  Director 
for  Support  and  Services 
8  July    1979 
(a)  (U)  The  DCI  issues  budget  guidance.  The 
Director,  DIA,  as  GDIP  Program  Manager,  issues 
supplementary  guidance. 
(b)  (U)  GDIP  budgets  are  submitted  by  DIA 
and  the  Military  Departments  to  the  DCI,  with  copies 
to  OSD. 
(c)  (U)  Budget  submissions  are  reviewed  by 
OSD,  DCI,  and  OMB.  Budget  Review  Decision 
Documents  (BRDD's)  are  issued  by  the  DCI.  Decision 
Package  Sets  (DPS's)  incorporate  DCI  decisions  into 
the  DoD  PPB  system. 
(d)  (U)  After  budget  decisions  are  made,  the 
Congressional  Budget  Justification  Book  (CBJB)  is 
prepared,  providing  detail  of  budget  requests  presented 
to  Congress. 
(4)  (U)  Enactment/Execution.  Congressional 
authorization  and  appropriation  lead  to  enactment  into 
law  and  apportionment. 
(5)  (U)  Fiscal  Cycle  Overlap.  Because  of  the 
length  of  time  for  the  completion  of  the  "annual" 
fiscal  cycle,  there  are  always  three  different  fiscal  year 
budgets  active,  if  measured  from  JSPD  issuance  until 
final  passage  and  signing  of  the  Appropriations  Bill 
(four  different  fiscal  year  budgets  active,  if  the 
influencing/foundation  documents,  the  JIEP,  DIPP  and 
Defense  Intelligence  Plan,  are  considered).
