(6)  (U)  Deputy,  Director  Central  Intelligence  Agency  Visit.  On  16 
December  1981,  Admiral  Bobby  R.  Inman,  USN,  Deputy  Director,  Central 
Intelligence  Agency,  and  Rear  Admiral  John  L.  Butts,  USN,  Commander,  Naval 
Intelligence  Command  were  special  guests  during  an  awards  ceremony.  After  the 
ceremony,  Admiral  Inman  and  Rear  Admiral  Butts  toured  spaces  and  met  with 
command  personnel. 
b.   (U)  Organizational  Changes. 
On  16  May  1981,  the  NFOIO  Intelligence  Analysis  Division  (IAD) 
located  at  the  Friendship  Annex  and  the  Administrative  Office  located  in  the 
National  Security  Agency  Operations  Building,  Fort  Meade,  moved  to  the  Naval 
Intelligence  Command  Complex  at  Suitland,  Maryland.  NFOIO  retained  a 
Headquarters  Office  in  Room  2C030,  NSA  Ops  Bldg,  Ft.  George  G.  Meade  where 
NFOIO  continues  its  liaison  function  between  the  U.S.  Navy  and  NSA  for  all 
non-cryptologic  matters.  As  a  result  of  the  move  to  Suitland,  NFOIO  was 
reintegrated  as  a  single  naval  component  with  the  current  intelligence 
branches  completely  interactive  and  mutually  supportive  with  the  in-depth 
studies  branches.  In  conjunction  with  the  consolidation,  the  Command  was 
reorganized  as  follows,  and  as  reflected  in  the  revised  organizational  chart, 
enclosure  (1) :  The  Intelligence  Analysis  Division  was  disbanded  and  formed 
the  nucleus  for  the  Naval  Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-03)  and  the  Warfare 
Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-07) .  Accordingly,  the  divisions  are  charged  with  the 
following  major  functions: 
(1)  (U)  Operations  Support  Division  (NFOIO-01)  -  Provides 
administrative,  security,  editorial,  and  graphics  support. 
(2)  (U)  Naval  Ocean  Surveillance  Information  Center  (NFOIO-02)  - 
Processes,  evaluates,  and  disseminates  all-source  information  bearing  on 
naval,  merchant/fishing  fleets,  and  military  aircraft  operating  in  the 
maritime  regions  of  the  world  in  support  of  Indications  and  Warning  (I&W)  and 
National  and/or  Fleet  level  commands  and  civilian  agencies  requiring  ocean 
surveillance. 
(3)  (U)  Naval  Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-03)  -  Collects,  processes, 
evaluates  and  disseminates  all-source  information  relevant  to  foreign  naval 
and  naval  aviation  operations  in  the  various  maritime  regions  of  the  world  and 
to  develop  through  analyses  of  these  operations,  as  well  as  naval  exercises, 
an  understanding  of  foreign  naval/naval  air  tactics  which  pose  a  threat  to 
U.S.  Naval  forces.  This  function  is  discrete  from  that  of  NFOIO-02  (NOSIC)  in 
that  the  Naval  Analysis  Division  is  responsible  for  in-depth  analyses  to 
determine  the  meaning  of  events  rather  than  the  day-to-day  reporting  of  these 
events.

Ser  OI/S1366 
15  April  1982 
(4)   (U)  Definitive  Operations  Reports  Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-04)  - 
Maintains  and  operates  an  automated  data  base  of  intelligence,  derived  from  a 
sensitive  collection  program  and  related  sources,  responsive  to  the  needs  of 
National  and  Fleet  level  commands,  the  Defense  Intelligence  Agency,  other 
military  commands,  civilian  agencies  and  units  of  the  operating  forces.  Also, 
provides  specialized  integrated  information  processing  services  to  the  various 
elements  of  the  Naval  Intelligence  Command. 
(5).  (U)  Detachment  Newport  (NFOIOQ5)  -  Provides  operational 
intelligence  support  on  Soviet  Naval  matters  and  U.  S.  Navy  Operational 
Systems  to  the  Center  for  War  Gaming  and  to  the  Center  for  Advanced  Research 
at  the  Naval  War  College. 
(6)  (U)  Special  Projects  Detachment  (NFOIQ-06)  -  Provides 
intelligence  information  on  foreign  antisubmarine  warfare  developments. 
(7)  (U)  Warfare  Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-07)  -  Collects,  processes, 
evaluates,  and  disseminates  all-source  information  bearing  on  foreign  tactics, 
exercises,  warfare,  and  warfare  support  which  pose  a  threat  to  the  U.  S.  Navy. 
(8)  (U)  Data  Services  Division  (NFOIO-08)  -  Develops  and  operates 
command's  automated  information  systems. 
(9)  (U)  Headquarters  Division  (NFOIQ-09)  -  Represents  the 
intelligence  interest  of  the  Navy,  conducts  liaison  and  acts  as  single  point 
of  interface  with  the  National  Security  Agency  on  all  non-crypto logic  matters. 
c.   (U)  Naval  Ocean  Surveillance  Information  Center  (NFOIO-02) . 
(1)  (U)  The  Special  Task  Force,  established  in  September  1980  to 
follow  the  maritime  aspects  of  the  Iraqi-Iranian  Conflict,  was  disestablished 
upon  the  return  of  the  U.S.  hostages  in  January  1981. 
(2)  (U)  Major  emphasis  of  the  Merchant  Operations  Branch  (MOB) 
throughout  1981  was  directed  toward  providing  information  on  merchant  shipping 
operations,  Soviet/Bloc  arms  carrier  and  research  activity  worldwide.  Special 
emphasis  was  placed  on  reporting  increased  Soviet  arms  shipments  to  Cuba  which 
lead  other  National  Agencies  (DIA,  CIA,  State,  etc)  to  recognize  and  use  NOSIC 
totals  in  their  products.  Additional  emphasis  was  directed  toward  monitoring 
Free  World/Bloc  deliveries  to  Iraq  through  Saudi  Arabia  and  the  resumption  of 
Soviet  arms  deliveries  to  Iraq  through  Kuwait. 
(3)  (U)  MOB  support,  which  continued  throughout  the  year  included:  a 
mult i- section  Persian  Gulf  support  message  to  CINCPACFLT  which  was  modified  in 
July  to  include  merchant  shipping  in  the  Red  Sea;  weekly,  monthly,  and  yearly 
Port  Security  reports  on  Communist  shipping  to  U.S.  ports;  a  monthly  report  on 
Communist  Charters  of  free  world  merchant  ships  continued  as  Soviet  chartering 
of  Free  World  MSRSHIPS  continued  at  a  reasonably  heavy  rate;  and  a  weekly 
research  and  mineral  exploration  ship  reporting  to  Fleet  Commands.

(4)  (U)  In  addition  to  working  the  Persian  Gulf  project,  which 
involved  approximately  8,000  manhours/7.8  manyears,  the  NOSIC  Fleet  Support 
Section  provided  143  individual  tailored  supports  (a  36  percent  increase  over 
1980)  to  U.S.  fleet  operations,  combined  U.S. /Allied  operations,  missile 
testing  operations,  Cuban  refugee  monitoring  operations,  Iranian  crisis,  Space 
Shuttle  flights,  U.S.  Navy  research,  development  and  testing  (RDT&E) 
operations. 
(5)  (U)  In  support  of  Tomahawk,  Poseidon  and  Trident  test  firings, 
NOSIC  provided  real-time  all- flag  merchant/ fishing  ship  intelligence  support 
to  six  Over-the-Horizon  (OTH-T) ,  two  Poseidon  tests,  two  Trident  operations, 
and  one  Tomahawk  TACEVAL.  Of  the  eleven  tests,  nine  were  conducted  in  the 
Atlantic  and  two  in  the  Pacific.  Also  conducted  were  one  Space  Shuttle  launch 
survey  and  one  Shuttle  flight,  four  Over-the-Horison  Radar  (OTH-R)  Churcheye 
operations,  two  Outlaw  Shark  tests,  one  COMDESGRU  OTH  ops,  one  USS  MOOSEBURGER 
OTH  ops  and  one  ASW  ops  requiring  a  total  of  739  manhours. 
(6)  (U)  In  February  and  December,  a  special  report  on  Soviet 
petroleum  deliveries  to  Cuba  for  1980/1981  was  provided  to  CINCLANTFLT. 
(7)  (U)  In  February,  the  operational  emphasis  of  the  NOSIC  OPELINT 
Branch  was  significantly  realigned.  The  efforts  of  the  ELINT  analysts  had 
previously  been  directed  primarily  in  support  of  the  Merchant  Operations 
Branch.  In  February,  the  emphasis  was  changed  to  provide  maximum  support  for 
the  prosecution  of  naval  targets.  To  fully  implement  this  change,  one  ELINT 
analyst  each  was  assigned  full  time  to  support  the  NFOIO  SAG  and  SCORE 
efforts.  Additional  analysts  were  assigned  to  analyze  out-of-area  naval 
emissions  with  only  one  analyst  assigned  to  support  the  Merchant  Shipping 
Branch. 
(8)  (U)  In  March,  the  MOB  participated  in  WINTEX-CIMEX  81,  a  large 
scale  NATO-wide  command  post  exercise.  Participation  consisted  of  providing 
daily  support  on  live  merchant  activity  and  60  exercise  ships. 
(9)  (U)  Upon  effecting  the  move  of  elements  of  NFOIO  from  the 
Friendship  Annex  and  the  reorganization  of  the  Command  in  May,  the  majority  of 
the  Naval  Operations  Branch  watch  and  supervisory  billets  related  to  specific 
functional  area  analysis  were  realigned  to  the  Naval  Analysis  Division. 
Administrative  control  of  personnel  assigned  to  these  billets,  however,  was 
retained  by  NFOIO-02  during  the  period  personnel  are  assigned  to  watch 
positions. 
(10)   (U)  Pursuant  to  the  reorganization,  three  areas  within  the  Naval 
Operations  Branch  watch  structure  were  identified  for  expansion  or 
reestablishment.  The  SCORE  effort  was  expanded  to  establish  a  continuous 
watch  within  the  Naval  Operations  Branch.  The  fourth  and  final  position  was 
manned  during  the  month  of  August.  In  November,  the  initial  phase  of 
reestablishing  the  air  watch  desk  as  a  dedicated  position  was  effected.  By 
the  end  of  1981,  personnel  for  all  four  positions  were  identified  with  three
ll:JRR:paw 
Ser  Ol/S  1366 
15  April  1982 
of  the  positions  manned.  A  dedicated  ELINT  watch  standing  position  was 
instituted  to  more  fully  support  the  all-source  ocean  surveillance  effort. 
Two  of  the  four  positions  were  manned  by  year's  end. 
(11)  (U)  Concomitant  with  the  Command  reorganization,  the  Naval 
Operations  Branch  spaces  were  reconfigured.  A  primary  consideration  was  the 
relocation  of  the  automated  SAG  data  base  from  remote  spaces  to  the  Naval 
Operations  Branch  space,  thereby  providing  immediate  access  by  the  Current 
Submarine  Operations  Section  watch. 
(12)  (U)  In  May,  the  MOB  commenced  a  daily  report  to  CINCPACFLT  on  the 
all- flag  merchant  tankers  in/enroute  the  Persian  Gulf  and  Red  Sea. 
(13)  (U)  In  June,  the  NOSIC  was  represented  at  the  annual  CANUKUS 
Maritime  Intelligence  Conference  in  Ottawa,  Canada.  A  paper,  entitled  "SOVIET 
SEABORNE  ARMS  DELIVERIES  TO  THIRD  WORLD  COUNTRIES-1980",  was  presented  to  the 
merchant  panel  at  the  conference  and  was  subsequently  disseminated  throughout 
the  U.S.  and  NATO  intelligence/defense  organizations. 
(14)  (U)  In  June  and  July,  the  Warsaw  Pact  Section  of  the  MOB  reported 
on  initial  Soviet  deliveries  of  aircraft  to  Nicaragua. 
(15)  (U)  In  July,  the  government  signed  a  contract  with  CTEC  Inc.  for 
the  installation  and  operational  testing  of  an  ELINT  tracker  in  the  Division 
spaces.  In  December,  the  equipment  was  installed  and  a  four  month  test 
commenced.  The  purpose  of  the  NOSIC  ELINT  Analysis  Tool  (NEAT)  is  to  improve 
the  correlation  and  value  to  the  intelligence  community  of  the  unequatec.  ELINT 
reports.  It  is  anticipated  that  the  NEAT  will  be  a  tremendous  aid  to  ELINT 
analysts  who  presently  manually  process,  analyze  and  equate  the  voluminous 
amount  of  unequated  ELINT  intercepts  (presently  in  excess  of  94  percent  of  the 
total  reported)  generated  by  the  CLASSIC  WIZARD  system. 
(16)  (U)  In  September,  the  MOB  commenced  daily  reporting  of  U.S. 
Flag/U.S.  Controlled  merchant  ships  transiting  the  Red  Sea  and  the 
Bab-el-mandeb  Straits  in  response  to  a  CINCPACFLT  tasking. 
(17)  (U)  Between  8-23  September,  the  Non-Warsaw  Pact  Section  of  the 
MOB  provided  the  Military  Sealift  Command  (MSC)  with  locating  data  on  U.S. 
Flag  merchant  shipping  in  support  of  Exercise  POTENT  PUNCH  81. 
(18)  (U)  In  September  and  December,  a  special  study  on  Soviet  arms 
shipments/merchant  activity  to  Vietnam  was  provided  to  IPAC. 
(19)  (U)  On  1  October,  a  new  Naval  Security  Group  Reserve  Unit  was 
established  at  NOSIC.  The  mission  of  the  new  unit,  CSG  106,  is  to  train 
qualified  officer  and  enlisted  personnel  to  augment  the  Navy  Cryptologic 
Support  Groups  (CSG)  in  the  event  of  mobilization.  The  unit  personnel  will 
perform  all  of  their  training  with  the  NOSIC  OPELINT  Branch.  Authority:  CNO

(20)  (U)  In  October,  the  MOB  commenced  twice-weekly  (Monday/Thursday) 
reporting  to  COMIDEASTFOR  on  all  U.S.  Flag  merchant  ships  operating  in 
MIDEASTFOR's  area  of  operations/ responsibility,  i.e.,  Red  Sea,  Persian  Gulf, 
Gulf  of  Aden,  Arabian  Sea,  and  the  Indian  Ocean. 
(21)  (U)  In  November,  the  NOSIC  assigned  its  first  ELINT  analyst  to 
the  24-hour  real-time  I&W  watch.  It  is  anticipated  that  each  of  the  four 
watch  sections  will  have  an  ELINT  analyst  by  mid- 1982. 
(22)  (U)  In  November,  a  position  was  established  for  a  Senior  Watch 
Officer  Assistant  within  the  Naval  Operations  Branch.  The  position  is  manned 
Monday  through  Friday  during  the  day  by  Intelligence  Specialist  personnel 
drawn  from  the  Merchant  Operations  Branch  on  a  rotating  basis. 
(23)  (U)  In  December,  the  MOB  provided  MARAD  with  a  statistical 
profile  on  the  U.S.  Effective  Controlled  Shipping  and  a  general  intelligence 
assessment  of  the  reliability  of  the  Effective  U.S.  Controlled  Fleet  in  time 
of  National  emergency. 
(24)  (U)  On  1  December,  CINCLANTFLT  directed  Naval  Control  of  Shipping 
Offices  at  New  York,  Boston,  Norfolk  and  New  Orleans  to  report  on  a  regular 
basis  after  a  six  month  trial  period  of  providing  a  large  volume  of  merchant 
shipping  data. 
(25)  (U)  An  AUTODIN  terminal  v/as  installed  at  Lloyd's  of  London. 
Testing  commenced  on  i  December  and  was  approved  on  7  December.  Lloyd's 
merchant  data  is  now  received  in  a  timely  manner  directly  via  the  AUTODIN. 
(26)  (U)  During  the  final  quarter  of  1981,  the  Naval  Operations  Branch 
installed  six  sliding  vertical  wall  boards  to  display  various  geographical 
areas.  The  addition  of  these  visual  aids  permitted  an  expanded  effort  to 
follow  and  present  in  greater  detail  ocean  activity  on  a  worldwide  basis. 
d.   (U)  Naval  Analysis  Division  (NFOIO-03) 
(1)   (U)  Prior  to  the  move  of  Intelligence  Analysis  Division  (IAD)  to 
Suitland  and  the  Command  reorganization,  much  time  and  effort  were  spent  in 
space  and  organization  design  alternatives;  the  primary  effort  in  these  areas 
was  expended  by  the  Director  and  the  Technical  Advisor  of  IAD.  Other 
functional  areas  continued  normally  providing  Fleet  and  Washington  area 
support  in  the  form  of  briefings,  papers  and  both  electrical  and  hard-copy 
intelligence  reports.  These  ranged  from  reports  concerning  threat  country 
operations  and  exercises,  to  topical  studies  on  surface,  submarine  and  air 
tactics  through  collective  planning  and  substantive  document  review.  In  all 
cases,  IAD  functioned  as  the  Navy's  primary  agency  for  analyzing  and  reporting 
threat  country  naval  and  naval  air  tactics  for  use  by  operational  forces  and 
planners  alike.  To  this  end  IAD  personnel  expended  significant  time  and 
effort  preparing  for  and  participating  in  intelligence  exchange  conferences 
with  friendly  foreign  governments  to  ensure  all  relevant  information  available
ll:JRR:p3W 
Ser  01/S1366 
15  April  1982 
was  applied  in  developing  our  knowledge  and  understanding  of  foreign  naval 
tactics.  Some  specific  examples  of  support  to  users  follow: 
-Provided  detailed  information  on  Soviet  Backfire  tactics  for 
deployment  of  USS  AMERICA  (Jan  81) 
-Provided  COMTHIRDFLT  with  information  on  Soviet  AIG  SARYCHEV 
operations  area  (Jan  81) 
-Provided  COS  OSLO  with  releasable  information  on  Soviet  submarine 
operations  (Jan  81) 
I 
-Provided  CINCUSNAVEUR  with  an  assessment  of  FITTER  exports  (Feb  81) 
-Provided  Federal  Republic  of  Germany  Navy  with  periodic  analyst  to 
analyst  exchanges 
-Updated  Collection  Guidance  Manual  for  CNO  sponsored  special 
collection  program  (Mar  81) 
-Provided  CINCUSNAVEOR  with  an  analysis  of  SGVMEDFLT  ACWEX  (Apr  81) 
-Provided  ACCOM  with  an  analysis  on  the  Soviet  spa'.;e  threat  (Apr  81) 
-Provided  CNO  with  an  analysis  on  Soviet  mining  efforts  (Apr  81) 
-Provided  CNO  with  an  assessment  of  Trends  and  Developments  in  the 
Soviet  Navy  (May  81) 
-Provided  the  Joint  Electronics  Warfare  Command  with,  information  on 
Soviet  C^  countermeasures  (May  81) 
-Provided  CINCLANTFLT  with  analysis  of  Soviet  November  Class  SSN  (May 
81) 
(2)   (U)  Subsequent  to  the  move  to  Suit land  and  the  Command 
reorganization,  the  Director  IAD  became  the  Director  of  the  Naval  Analysis 
Division.  In  this  capacity  he  became  responsible  for  the  preponderance  of 
NFOIO  naval  surface,  submarine  and  air  analysts.  Additionally,  the  Division 
expanded  its  responsibilities  to  include  not  only  tactical  analyses,  but  also
ll:JRR:paw 
Ser  Ol/S  1366 
15  April  1982 
current  intelligence  analysis  and  reporting  in  support  of  NFOIO-02  in  that 
division's  I&W  capacity.  This  responsibility  further  includes  the  requirement 
for  each  panel  to  provide  watchstanders  to  NFOIO-02  for  duty  in  the  NOSIC. 
This  method  of  rotating  watchstanders  in  and  out  of  their  respective  panel 
creates  a  synergistic  effect  in  terms  of  training  and  provides  a  broader 
experience  base  at  both  watchstanding  and  day-working  levels.  Equally  as 
important,  this  rotation  creates  a  feeling  of  "oneness"  between  groups  and  in 
the  long  term  will  do  away  with  the  "them"  vs  "us"  syndrome  frequently  extant 
between  dayworkers  and  watchstanders.  Included  in  these  new  responsibilities 
are  the  implementation  of  a  world-wide  non-Soviet  Navies  watch  capability, 
improvement  of  the  Submarine  Analysis  Group  (SAG),  and  Soviet  Combatant 
Operational  Readiness  Evaluation  (SCORE)  project  and  the  creation  of  the 
Soviet  Naval  Aviation  Readiness  Evaluation  (SNARE)  project;  these  elements  are 
charged  with  developing  an  understanding  of  the  readiness  and  employment 
philosophy  of  the  Soviet  submarine,  surface  and  naval  air  forces 
respectively.  In  this  regard  efforts  were  initiated  to  purchase  hardware  and 
contract  for  software  development  to  provide  analytical  aids  which  would 
facilitate  the  manipulation  and  analysis  of  the  multitudes  of  data  associated 
with  SAG  analysis.  Additionally,  a  source  improvement  study  was  initiated 
both  within  this  Command  and  with  the  National  Security  Agency  to  improve  the 
collection -and  dissemination  of  relevant  information  to  NFOIO  for 
incorporation  into  the  SAG  effort.  This  was  further  complemented  by  obtaining 
instruction  for  analysts  in  quantitative  methods  which  are  applicable  to  the 
problem  as  well  as  initiating  a  project  with  NRL  to  obtain  the  services  of  two 
specialists  in  artificial  intelligence  to  further  enhance  our  knowledge  and 
application  of  quantitative  analytical  techniques.  These  efforts,  which  are 
initially  focused  on  the  SAG,  are  expected  to  have  impact  on  SCORE  and  SNARE 
as  well,  since  both  the  latter  products  are  charged  with  determining  readiness 
of  Soviet  Naval/Naval  Air  Forces. 
(3)  (U)  In  addition  to  participation  in  the  several  foreign 
intelligence  exchange  conferences,  the  Division  hosted  a  Washington  community 
submarine  analyst  meeting  on  15  October  1981.  This  initiative  proved 
extremely  valuable  in  opening  and  expanding  lines  of  communication  among 
Washington  area  analysts  and  provided  an  excellent  forum  to  discuss  many  of 
the  perplexing  issues  facing  the  submarine  analyst  community.  The  success  of 
this  meeting  has  led  to  the  decision  to  expand  these  meetings  to  quarterly  and 
to  host  additional  meetings  where  both  surface  combatant  and  naval  air  force 
issues  can  be  discussed. 
(4)  (U)  In  early  December  1981,  the  Division  hosted  the  annual 
Submarine  Out-of-Area  Conference  for  the  Chief  of  Naval  Operations.  The 
conference  was  conducted  over  a  period  of  four  days  and  participants  included 
representatives  from  the  CINC  Fleet  Staffs,  Numbered  Fleet  Staffs,  OSIS  Nodes 
and  variety  of  other  operational  commands.  The  conference  was  extremely 
successful  and  was  lauded  as  "the  best  ever,"  primarily  because  this  year 
adequate  time  was  allocated  for  discussion  especially  by  the  principal 
participants.

(L)   (U)  The  DORA  data  base  and  master  microfiche  library  were 
maintained  at  a  current  level  while  production  and  dissemination  of  regular 
DORA  support  packages,  microfiche  libraries  and  publications  were  expanded  and 
kept  on  schedule.  Four  new  data  bases  were  brought  on  line  and  six  new 
products  were  initiated  and  distributed.  Additionally,  the  division  was 
tasked  with  responsibility  for  all  Navy  Field  Operational  Intelligence  Office 
(NFOIO)  micrographics  production,  storage  and  retrieval. 
(2)   (U)  In  addition  to  routine  product,  the  division  continued  its 
support  to  the  fleets,  high  level  commands,  agencies,  and  intelligence 
analysts  by  responding  to  approximately  56  official  ad  hoc  requests  for 
intelligence  information  derived  from  the  DORA  data  base  and  microfiche 
library.  Over  100  requests  for  information  processing  services  and  assistance 
were  also  satisif  ied;  including  a  study  of  the  Techtronics  4000  series

Gaming  and  to  research  projects  at  the  Center  for  Advanced  Research  during 
1981.  In  addition,  the  Detachment  worked  closely  with  the  Strategic  Studies 
Group  at  the  Naval  War  College  by  providing  briefings  and  seminar  type 
discussions  on  Soviet  strategy  and  doctrine. 
(2)  (U)  During  1981,  the  Detachment  participated  in  ten  (10)  major

Reserve  Intelligence  Officers  on  ACDUTRA  from  NFOIO  Reserve  Unit  0402  provided 
invaluable  support  during  these  games.  The  Detachment  produced  the  fourth 
iteration  of  the  Handbook  on  Soviet  Weapons  Systems  for  use  in  war  games  and 
publication  and  distribution  of  "How  to  Play  Orange"  was  accomplished.

(b)  (U)  Missions  and  functions  which  have  changed  since  a  previous 
submittal 
(1)   (U)  For  NFOIO  and  NFOIO  Detachment  Newport 
No  changes 
(c)  (U)  Inspector  General's  Inspection.  The  Command  underwent  an  IG 
inspection  in  October.  Subsequent  administrative  remarks  indicate  a  very 
favorable  inspection.  Nevertheless  the  Inspection  Officials  were  informed  of 
the  following  problem  areas,  and  if  corrected,  they  would  significantly 
benefit  the  Command: 
(1)  (U)  Office  Space.  Inadequate  space  for  current  and  future 
requirements  exists.  This  shortfall  will  rapidly  grow  more  severe  as  FY-82 
billets  are  filled. 
(2)  (U)  High  Grades  (GS- 13/14/15) .  Lack  of  sufficient  high  grades 
is  preventing  this  Command  from  structuring  an  effective  management  chain  as 
well  as  adversely  impacting  on  the  ability  to  retain  high-quality  analytical 
personnel. 
(3)  (U)  Clerical/Administrative  Support  Personnel.  This  Command  has 
a  serious  problem  of  obtaining  necessary  support  billets,  retaining  personnel 
in  those  few  billets  that  are  available,  and  obtaining  clearances  when 
civilian  personnel  are  hired  and/or  new  military  personnel  report  on  board.
ll:JRR:paw 
Ser  01/S1366 
15  April  1982 
(4)  (U)  Security  Clearances.  Since  all  personnel  require  access  to 
special  intelligence  material  and  there  is  no  ir-house  office  space  for  non-SI 
-*l<?arfc"J  personnel,  NFOIO  always  have  personnel  in  an  on-board  status  but 
<j^w-;-&  to   actually  work  for  the  command.  Such  cases  create  an  unacceptable 
burden  c-i  other  personnel  who  must  carry  the  load. 
(5)  (U)  Special  Compartmented  Accesses.  Since  the  reorganization, 
all  incoming  analysts  are  immediately  assigned  to  the  NOSIC.  After  this 
initial  assignment,  they  are  reassigned  to  the  NAD  or  WAD.  Due  to  the 
interface  of  these  three  divisions,  all  NAD  and  WAD  personnel  as  well  as  most 
of  the  NOSIC  personnel  require  access  to  the  same  basic  compartmented  programs. 
(6)  (U)  Analyst  Productivity  Degraded  Due  to  Manpower  Shortfall.  A 
large  percentage  of  an  analyst's  time  is  spent  in  performing  basic  research, 
compiling  statistics,  drawing  graphs,  etc.  These  functions  could  be  performed 
by  junior  analytical  assistants  under  the  guidance  of  senior  experienced 
analysts.  Then  the  more  experienced  analyst  could  devote  time  for  tasks 
requiring  their  expertise. 
(7)  (U)  Analyst  Productivity- Degraded- Due  to- Automated- Equipment 
Shortfall.  As  presently  configured  the  WANG  WPS  and  ACS-II  consoles  have  a 
limited  number  of  terminals  available  for  analysts'  use.  Additional  terminals 
would  save  significant  analyst  time  which  could  be  redirected  toward 
additional  production  efforts. 
(8)  (U)  Consolidation  problems.  Although  the  Command  provided  three 
ceiling  points  in  support  of  personnel  functions,  NFOIO  continues  to  provide 
an  inordinate  amount  of  Command's  time  to  civilian  personnel  related 
functions,  i.e.;  tracking  promotions,  within-grade  increases,  and  hiring 
paperwork;  performing  training  functions  that  should  be  accomplished  by  the 
personnel  office;  and  reproduction  of  personnel  material  intended  for  all 
hands  distribution. 
(9)  (U)  Computer  Software  Capabilities  Shortfall.  In  the  execution 
of  conducting  historical  analysis  of  pattern  and  trends  in  submarine  and 
surface  combatant  operations,  the  Submarine  Analysis  Group  (SAG)  and  Surface 
Combatant  Operational  Readiness  Evaluation  (SCORE)  groups  must  maintain 
extensive  records  reflecting  the  individual  histories  of  respective  naval 
units.  The  volume  and  complexity  of  information  is  growing  and  automation 
supporting  the  analytical  process  is  urgently  needed. 
d.    (U)  Accomplishments.  The  following  accomplishments  are  in  addition 
to  those  discussed  in  subparagraphs  lc  through  li  above: 
(1)   (U)  The  ability  of  NFOIO  to  perform  its  mission  has  improved 
significantly  as  a  result  of  the  consolidation  of  the  command  at  the  Suitland 
Federal  Complex,  and  the  coincident  restructuring  of  the  organization.  The 
new  organization  has  been  developed  more  along  functional  lines  and  has 
resulted  in  the  consolidation  of  some  of  the  common  functions  within  the
il:JRR:paw 
Ser  01/S1366 
15  April  1982 
command.  These  changes  allow  not  only  for  greater  command  integration,  but 
also  provide  for  improved  interface  among  the  various  divisions  and  branches. 
In  conjunction  with  the  reorganization,  the  mission  and  functions  statements 
were  rewritten  and  are  descriptive  for  each  element  (down  to  the  Branch 
level) .  The  functions  are  more  definitive  than  seen  heretofore  and  will  serve 
to  greatly  enhance  the  operational  functioning  of  the  Command.  The  Command  as 
currently  organized  promises  to  be  markedly  more  efficient  in  its  operation 
and  productivity  than  has  been  the  case  in  ten  years. 
(3)   (U)  To  enhance  hiring  and  retention  of  civilian  personnel,  a 
job-progression  career  ladder  was  established  for  intelligence  analysts, 
GS-132  personnel.  This  was  an  important  accomplishment  for  the  Command 
inasmuch  as  fulfillment  of  the  assigned  mission  evolves  around  civilian 
intelligence  analysts.

Ser  01/S1366 
15  April  1982 
(5)  (U)  To  aid  new  civilian  and  military  personnel  in  the 
familiarization  of  the  operational  intelligence  environment,  the  Command  began 
to  integrate  all  new  personnel  into  the  NOSIC  watch  to  gain  experience  in  air, 
surface,  and  subsurface  current,  real-time  intelligence.  This  permits  the  new 
enployee  to  get  a  feel  for  watch  standing,  gain  a  background  in  current 
intelligence  and  acquaintance  with  the  SEA  WATCH  Data  Base  and  Data  Processing 
Systems  which  will  form  the  basis  for  later  assignment  to  the  in-depth 
analysis  effort. 
(6)  (U)  The  NOSIC  SENSOR  product  (Summary  Evaluation  of  Nuclear 
Submarine  Operational  Readiness)  was  established  in  August  of  1980  as  a 
replacement  for  the  then  trice  daily  SAR  (Submarine  Activity  Report)  for  each 
geographical  area.  The  geographic  area  SARs  were  almost  wholly  out-of-area 
(OQA)  products  and  were  largely  redundant  of  fleet  reporting  on  the  OQA  Soviet 
submarine  problem.  Meanwhile,  improvement  in  both  the  quality  and  quantity  of 
incoming  data  concerning  Soviet  submarine  operations  in  local  Soviet  OP  AREAS 
(in- area)  was  underway,  complemented  by  developing  analytical  methodologies  in 
the  Submarine  Analysis  Group  (SAG) .  Under  the  cognizance  of  SAG  personnel, 
who  augmented  the  watch  for  the  purposes  of  the  transition,  the  NOSIC 
submarine  desk  watch  commenced  production  of  the  SENSOR.  The  SENSOR  was 
primarily  designed  to  more  fully  address  the  status  of  the  Soviet  SSBN  force, 
a  problem  that  cannot  be  addressed  as  separate  components  (OQA  or  in-area) . 
(7)  (U)  The  Naval  Intelligence  Tactical  Analysis  Program  (NITAP) 
that  was  established  in  1976  by  the  Chief  of  Naval  Research  and  the  Director 
of  Naval  Intelligence,  with  the  concurrence  of  the  Director,  ASW  and  Ocean 
Surveillance  Programs  (Op-095),  was  continued  throughout  1981.  During  the 
year,  program  personnel  provided  important  input  in  the  production  of  two 
Naval  Warfare  Publications  (NWPs)  as  well  as  several  SPIRE  reports.  Work 
authorized  under  NITAP  is  continuing  in  the  areas  of  data  base  maintenance  and 
the  production  of  Unclassified  publications  for  the  Operating  Forces.
