ensures  implementation  of  KQDA  production  policy  within  USAINSCOM.   ACSI-USAINSCOM 
relationships/procedures  regarding  intelligence  and  threat  analysis  production 
and  dissemination  include:

for  action  directly  to  Army  production  elements  to  satisfy  the  requirement  or  are 
forwarded  to  Defense  Intelligence  Agency  (DIA)  for  production.  If  the  IPRs 
received  from  OACSI  are  beyond  the  capability  of  an  USAINSCOM  production  element 
to  accomplish,  an  information  copy  of  the  production  element's  response  to  OACSI 
will  be  provided  to  KQ  USAINSCOM  (ATTN:   IAOPS-PDN) . 
b.  Quick-Reaction  Requirements  (QRR). 
(1)  Quick-reaction  requirements  are  a  type  of  IPR  designed  to  get  a 
quick  answer  to  certain  questions  based  on  data  currently  in  the  files  of  an 
Intelligence  production  agency.  QRRs  do  not  include  the  normal  daily  contact 
between  analysts  of  the  various  Army  production  agencies. 
(2)  The  requesting  organization  will  attempt  to  satisfy  the  need  locally 
or  use  existing  Intelligence  products  before  sending  a  QRR  to  the  producer. 
(3)  A  OR?.  Is  sent  directly  to  Array  intelligence  production  activities  by 
electrical  message  or  telephonically  with  electrical  message  confirmation.   Infor- 
mation copies  should  be  furnished  to  HQ  USAINSCOM  (IAOPS-PDN)  and  HQDA  (DAMI-FIR) . 
c.  Intelligence  Dissemination. 
(1)  DIA  and  National  Security  Agency  (NSA)  establish  policies  for  re- 
questing foreign  intelligence  documents  that  they  produce  or  are  responsible 
for  issuing. 
(2)  OACSI  prescribes  Array  policies  for  issuing  Intelligence  and  advises 
Array  elements  how  to  request  foreign  Intelligence  documents  from  DIA  and  NSA. 
(3)  Within  USAINSCOM,  ITAC  provides  dissemination  and  Statement  of  Intel- 
ligence Interest  (SII)  validation  for  foreign  intelligence  to  HQDA,  other  MACOMs 
and  Array  OCONUS  organizations  not  subordinate  to  a  unified  or  specified  command. 
(4)  Within  USAINSCOM,  ITAC  Is  the  final  validation  authority — with  the 
exception  of  SIGINT  activities  contained  in  NSA/CSS  (National  Security  Agency/ 
Central  Security  Service)  USSID  505 — for  documents  requested  from  NSA. 
(5)  Procedures  are  outlined  in  Chapter  2,  AR  381-19.

satisfying  consumer  needs,  improving  cost  effectiveness,  and  Insuring  that 
priority  requirements  are  met  In  a  timely  manner.  The  goal  of  the  PMP  Is  to 
provide  enhanced  intelligence  and  threat  analysis  production  support  to  the 
US  Army.   Responsibilities  under  the  PMP  Include: 
a.  DCSOPS.   The  Production  Management  Division  of  DCSOPS  will:

a  systematic  consumer  evaluation  of  USAINSCOM  intelligence  production.   The  focus 
of  the  ICEP  is  on  the  self-improvement  of  USAINSCOM  production  and  is  not  intended 
as  an  inspection  function.  Its  purpose  is  to  complement  quality  control  programs 
currently  conducted  by  USAINSCOM  production  activities.
