DIRECTORATE OF COLLECTION (U) Impact of Cuban Photography ry | Photo reconnaissance operations, as a result of the Cuban situation, were initially laid on in early October 1962. The first series of flights produced informa tion which unequivocally identified an offensive missile capability being developed. Furthermore, this capability was estimated to become operational in a very short time. In addition, considerable ground and air forces equipment was identified. Of great impact to the U. 8. was the offensive threat of Air Force jet bombers - IL-28, being assembled at several airfields. Extensive activity for island defense was quite evident and reflected detailed preparations. Sd Due to the international impact of such photo intelligence and the extreme necessity of detailed informa- tion required in formulating the U. S. positions, low alti- tude photo by tactical aircraft was needed. - Instructions for operations of low altitude photography were implemented the middle of October 1962. The success of these operations were overwhelming. Large scale photography was procured which categorically identi- fied offensive and defensive equipment provided by the Soviets for the Cuban Government. YN The U. S. Government made extensive decisions for programming forces for countermeasures to the offensive . ee
weapons threat. The President indorsed the qualitative aspects of photographic intelligence produced. Such indorsement was further manifested by Presidential de- cision to simultaneously present selected photo packages to various Ambassadors and the United Nations. This action virtually marshalled world opinion toward the condemnation of Soviet activities in Cuba. qa As an adjunct to the maritime blockade, sea surveillance was conducted against shipping. This provided long lead time knowledge to the various commanders to position U. 8. forces for maximum effectiveness. Continuous monitoring by high and low altitude photo reconnaissance over Cuba supported by sea surveillance permitted evaluation of Soveade/Cuban compliance with Soviet decision to dismantle and remove offensive capabilities. . ip. The historical impact photo reconnaissance had on the decision making process at highest government levels is of paramount importance. Future United States Government decision will probably require extensive photo intelligence inputs. This, in itself, would indicate the continuing re- quirement for extensive and timely photo reconnaissance capability. The capability will necessarily be both high and low altitude. The photo product will have to be very high quality. As a result of the Cuban situation, the above capabilities are being further developed to insure a dynamic and comprehensive photo getqgnaissance program.
assembly of resources to meet all anticipated contingencies vis-a-vis Cuba; (4) compilation of map coverage of Cuba in anticipation of the possibility of interrogation team aug- mentation; and (5) maintenance of heightened alert posture in response to Defense Readiness Condition (DEFCON) changes. (U) Human Source Collection Guidance. (Confidential) AFM 200-70 was published on 3 December i962. Designed to provide guidance and direction of all Air Force Human source intelligence collectors, the manual is expected to achieve improved management through delinea- tion of command responsibilities, coordination of effort, Bae and control of programs. - —- (U) Defector Program wae (U) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Liaison Officer were mwa lit sagt te pe we TH enn

qa This memorandum established and defined ACS/Intelligence responsibilities and notification procedures pertaining to aerial defections of Communist Bloc personnel to the Contin- ental United States. These procedures were assigned the unclassified nickname of LITTLE SAK. | (U) Requirements (Confidential) During this reporting period the conver- sion to Special Tntelligence Collection Requirements (SICR) - in the Priority Air Intelligence Requirements (PAIRs) and Current Air Intelligence Requirements (CAIRs) documents was accomplished. The PAIR documents were cancelled on 15 - Pa September 1962; the CAIR documents on 15 October 1962. Supplement to CAIR-1, Gazeteer on Communist China, is still in the process of being superseded. With the conversion program completed, influx of SICRs leveled off. During this period, 499 USAF SICRs were forwarded to DIA for validation; S563 validated SICRs were served on Air Force collection elements; and 282 SICRs were cancelled. As of 31 December 1962, there were 581 SICRs outstanding on AF collectors. (Unclassified) DIA Instruction 58-7 was published on 25 September 1962. This instruction implemented a new intell- gence reporting form for use by all Department of Defense (DOD) collectors (DD Forms 1396 and 1396c). ACS/Iintelligence implementing regulation, AFR 200-22, was published on 7 December 1962, and arrangements were made to supply all AF collectors with the new forms. Also implemented by this
~ wee regulation was a new Intelligence Report numbering system, effective 1 January 1963. ; iy ACS/Intelligence Office Memorandum 14-4, dated 5 May 1960, was rescinded, and the Collection Require- ments Board (CRB) was abolished as of 7 November 1962. . Men~ bers of the CRB were advised that specific problem areas would henceforth be handled by ad hoc meetings and/or re- ferred to the DIA Priorities Board. (U) Review of the ACS/Intelligence Domestic Collection Program aa During the latter part of this period, effort was directed towards the consideration «.. ways and means to improve the Domestic Collection Progran. The overall program was reviewed, project by project, and as a total integrated effort since, to an extent, all projects are interrelated. While it was noted that some managerial changes would con- tribute to the efficiency of the program, it became equally apparent that 2: increase in depth and scope of the program can only be achieved by an increase in resources (men and money) allocated to Domestic Collection, whether by ACS/I er by the major commands. Four specific recommendations ' were submitted as a result of this effort. These were: (1) Increased emphasis on intelligence exploitation by the major
