During the last three years, the Afr Force kas mide substani sai adjustments in manpower resource distribution/utalization. Mest of these modifications vere tage in direct respense to the rapidly changing defense envirunment. ‘Ye have phased down operations all over the world, closed many instaliations, and have absorbed new missions - without additiunal manpower. Many Air Force-osproved manpower $1 are underfunded, This Headquarters snd the headquarters staffs of alk major commands have experienced repeated reductions as the force size ‘ dechined. At tnis time, yet another review of our headquarters structure . is being conducted which will further reduce manpower levets. These extensive adjustments have not yielded the necessary manpower resources to maintain our combs: force structure at an acceptable level of capability. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Air Force that further realignments be made. 2. To date, we hsve not initiated an intensive functional examination of the Scparate Operating Agenci¢és with 2 viev towards freeing manpower resources for higher priority needs, For this reason, I am asking you to conduct a complete review, which will serve as the Susis for evalvating the extent to which it vould be advisable to divert SOA manpower to che combat forces. Sominations for these reductions and the resultant impacs ~ * a$sessments “ik be submitted in accordance sith the attached instruc- tions. You sil} be notified of the actual reductions after the Air Staff analysis is completed and the Air Fores Council recommendations have been reviewed, ae I understand that there may be both program and organizational changes in progress hich address both upsard and downward adjustments to your manpower requirements. Additionally, manpower may have been recently allocated for the accomplishment cf approved pregrams. However, we must still take a hard look at how we are doing business, with a view towurds recucing manpower costs. Thus, past, present, or future manpower adjustments will not justify exemption from this review,

CHAPTER II OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE @ In December 1973, a reorganization upgraded the former Operational Intelligence Division [AFIS/INO} to directorate level within the APIS structure. Renamed the Directorate of Operational Intelligence, AFIS/INO incorporated three ‘previously independent divisions: The Aerospace Intelli-~ gence Division {AFIS/INZ}, the Target Intelligence Division Gris/int), and the Intelligence Research Division (AFIS/INI). Colonel Harald W. Ingholt was designated Director of Operational Intelligence. AEROSPACE INTELLIGENCE B The Aerospace Intelligence Division (APIS/IN2) retained the old AFIS/INO's extant subdivisions with some modifica~ tions, AFIS/INOB became AFIS/INZA, retaining the title and functions of the former "Editing, Briefing, and Continuity Branch." The geographical division of responsi-~ bility between the analytical branches was shifted somewhat so that the former APIS/INOE, or “East Branch," became AFIS/INZB, responsible for analysis of military/political event, in all countries other than the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. That function was given to the new AFIS/INZC which replaced AFIS/INOW (the former "West

wd é Major events in Africa were also followed and reported by AFIS/INZB with emphasis on political develop- ments in Ethiopia, arms acquisitions by Libya, and independence movements in Portuguese Africa. cece | Throughout the period of this history, INZ received pumerous requests from other Air Force commands, such as TAC, MAC, SAC, PACAP, and AFSC, for intelligence support on Middle East/African problems, Most of these requests re~ quired many hours of research, much coordination with other intelligence agencies, and sometimes, direct queries to a Southeast Asia Section r APIS/INZB continued to provide the Air Staff with comprehensive intelligence reporting on Southeast Asia, During this period, some 440 briefing articles were presented, the great majority on North/South Vietnam and Cambodia. In addition, a weekiy Southeast Asia Summary briefing was presented until 9 May 1974.

This move, which would degrade the guality of support avaliable, was protested by Major General George J. Keegan, Jr., Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, in a Letter to Lieutenant General Lew Allen, Jr., Director, NSA/Chief, CSS, In reply," General Allen expressed his regret in taking this action and indicated that long~range plans called for the relocation of all elements from FAN% to the Ft Meade Compiex, dependent upon the outcome of the FY 75/76 Military Construction Programs. e The continuing decrement of authorized personnel was making it difficult for the Division to accomplish all aspects of its mission as thoroughly as nad been done previously. ING queried Major Commands, field activities, and the AF/IN Directorates for their comments or suggestions on redirect- ing INI's niseion. The main theme that emerged was that INI's unique capabilities should be focused toward producing in-depth studies on air-related subjects, @ The results of the mission reassessment and recommendations for change were presented to the ACS/I.

ABSTRACT Chapter Iff ~ Security and Communications Vanagement @ This chapter describes the systems support activi- ties undertaken to insure satisfaction of USAF require- ments in the compartmented intelligence and intelligence communications areas.
ud J As 2 result of the retrganization disc sessed in chapter i, the Security Management Division became the Sirectorate, Security and Communications Management (APIS/INS}. The Direc~ corate, Security and Communications Management continued to be responsible to the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence 4ACS/1) and the Commander, Air Force Intelligence Service, for establishing and promulgating procedures to administer the USAF Special Intelligence (SI) and Scecial Activities Office (SAO) security programs and processing personnel clearances associated with these programs. Aliso, because the reorganization, the €ollateral Secarity Division INSA! Py ° an@ the Communications Division (INSEE) ware formed to becom art of the Directorate, Bu ment. The Directorate ‘INS ‘then became ressonsible to the ACS/T and the Cormander matters within departmental intelligence as weil as for intelligence communications aolicy and procedures for the Air Force. ? The Directorate {INS) continued to operate the AF Special Security Gffice {AFSSO} and the Special Activities Office {SAO}. Also, INS retained the rsesoonsibility to
formulate and promulgate AF policy and procedures on certains disclosure matters consistent with approved National Dis- elosure Policy. COLLATERAL SECURITY & The Collateral Security Division (AFIS/INSA) was formed on 8 April 1974 as a result of a major reorganization of the ACS/Intelligence (AF/IN) and the Air Force Intelligence Service (AFIS). The responsibilities and functions of the Division had previously been assigned to the Administrative Support Branch (AF/INVEA}. Four positions were authorized: two military (1 officer, 1 enlisted) and two civilian. The new Division functioned in direct support of AF/IN and AFIS activities in the following areas: Processing requests to release classified information to contractors; performing Security Program Management functions; Special Documents Control; processing contractor visits; and processing security review actions for the Secretary of tke Air Force, Office of Information (SAF/O1I}. Release to Contractors F  ] The Division was the office of primary responsibility | for the Air Force for releasing classified intelligence material to U.S. contractors, For this period, six release actions were processed and approved. Efforts were initiated to try to reduce the processing and handling time normally
reguired for hese actions, The Division facused on assert-~ ing vigorous control and foliew-up for suspenses to MF INWAFIS Girectorates which evaluared ané validated these release actions. By the end of this reporting period, some t was achieved, Information Security Program tf The Division was the AF/IN and APIS office of respon~ sability for collateral security matters defined in DOD Directive $2900.iR, Information Security Program Regulation, and AFR 295-2 The Division served as the point of contact between AF/IN and AFIE activities and the 11436 Security Police ang AF/IGSP for various security matters including security acidents. There was one reported AFIS administrative security deviation during this reporting period, A manage~ Menr improvement action was completed rasuiting in increased for new civilian fa ut 4 o Gt 1 we w , > a wa ® oO f K Me 7 a a ke 1D & Hy .Aal Becusents Contre: @ The Division served as the Headquarters primary control office and entry point for collaterai Too Secret, internatisna te Pact Organization, SioP, S1OP+£S1, RODCA, and special categery material. Three primary control offices and thirteen sub- accounts continued to support this function for all AP/IN and AFIS activities. A management improvement was instituted in
ea «hen AF/INYS established a separate ARFCOS ar account for a special SPECAT series which resulted in a savings of handling time and increased administrative effi- ciency. PERSONNEL SECURITY gw Ouring this period, most of the Personnel Security Division {AFIS/INSB} worklcoad continued to be allocated to the adjudication of the personnel Security Program and maintenance of the compartmented intelligence access program through the control of the billet structure. The workload of the division increased tremendously during this’ period due to the required security support of the Air Force Reserve Program, Deleted per 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(1)

Publications Management/Review @®P esarinTELs and Related Publications. The Management Division continued to extend and improve the quality of USAF Intelligence (USAPINTEL} specialized air intelligence publications during this reporting period, Issued according to AFR 8-3, these publications are used to communicate aerospace intelligence and intelligence policies and pro- cedures which, because of their sensitive content, cannot be included in an Air Force standard publication. The Management Division is responsible for six USAFINTELS pro- duced and distributed through the Air Force Special Security Office (AFSSO) system (see description in AFR 200-7") or through other compartmented intelligence systems. the Management Division is responsible for the administrative review of USAFINTEL publications produced by other AF/IN ar AFIS elements.

Forty-three security violations OF incidents were reported and processed during Fy 1974, Of this total, 33 pertained to violations/incidents invelving SI material and 10 involved SAO material. This total of 43 reflects an increase of I1 from the 32 processed @uring FY 1973. QB oety and Travel Restrictions. A total of 68 requests for waiver of duty and travel restrictions imposed on Air Foree personnel were processed during FY 1974.

The establisnment of APSSO 21AF will provide SI data that will enhance the timeliness and economy of 2ist Air Force operations in support of national and service tasking under conditions which include civil disturbance, cold war, limited war, general war, and post-attack airlifr support, An Snergency Reaction AFSSQ {ERAFSSO} was established at MeGuire AFB, N.J., on 16 October 1973. The ERAFSSO unit was required to provide necessary Special intelligence (SI) support to 2lst Air Force during the Middle East crisis and will be utilized untii the establishment of the permanent AFSSd facility. As of 30 June 1973, the accreditation of 2ist Air Force was nearing finalization, staff assistance visit was ™ o a 973 to provide ahysical security made to FID in October guidance and discuss new PTD SI/SAO facilities currentiy under construction and/or programmed to be built over the next 3 years. A new buiiding is currently being constructed under the Military Construction Program {MCP} for FY 1973, This facility will contain 77,000 square feet, of which 50,000 square feet will be accredited for SI/SAO. Additional major construction is programmed for FY 1974, F¥ 1975, and
a7 FY 1976. This facility, which is a continuation of MCP FY 1973, will provide an additional 200,000 square feet of floor space, the majority of which will be SI/SAO accredited. FTD plans to relocate a number of functions presently ocerating in outlying vaulted areas into the new facilities, This consolidation is programmed to begin upon completion of the MCP FY 1973 phase of the construction. As of 30 June 1974, MCP FY 1973 was nearing completion and alarm protec~ tion devices had been installed. $B armed Forces Air Intelligence Training Center (APAITC). The modification to the AFAITC facility to allow the use of SI/SAO information in the curricula, which was reported in the 1 July 1972 to 30 dune 1973 APIS History, has been completed and is operational, Special Actions # Support For The INS-IGHT. As in the past, the Manage- ment Division continued to provide the bulk of the items for the INS-IGHT--the Compartmented Intelligence Newsletter, Two issues of this timely and informal publication were published during this reporting period. These issues, published on 18 December 1973 and i April 1974, contained a total of 21 items of general interest to the compartmented intelligence conmunity which were authored by Management Division personnel. Comment from worldwide recipients reflected enthusiastic appreciation for the INS-IGHT and its quality and scope.
6 @ United States Air Force Security Service (USAPSS). A staff assistance visit to QO USAFSS, Kelly APB, Texas, was performed by AFIS/INS personnel during the period 25 through 27 February 1974, Marked improvement was noted in the physical, administrative, and personnel aspects of the USAFSS compartmented intelligence security program since the 1973 staff assistance visit. The AFIS/INS tris ceport | ferwarded to USAFSS noted that a few additional matters required attention. These matters were discussed with responsible USAPSS personnel during the visit. When recommendations pertinent to these matters, 3s outlined in the staff visit report, are implemented, USAFSS ‘should achieve the ideal in compartmented security. wo Special Indystrial Security Cffice (SISO} General Electric Company + Space Science Lab, val ley Forge Space Center, Pennsylvania. % Systems Command ‘APSC), two representatives ment Division performed an inspection of the SISO Seneral Electric Cotpany on 7 and B August 1973. Management of compartmented intelligence physical, personnel, and admin~ istrative security functions were reviewed and inspected, Overall, these functions were found to be managed in an effective manner with no major discrepancies noted. However, several minor findings were noted in the inspection report which required corrective action and processing according to USAFINTELS 201—} and 201~4.

The Manage- ment Division continued to represent the ACS/intelligence on the United States Intelligence Board (USIB} Security Committees (SECOM}. In addition to the monthly SECOM meetings, the Management Division particizated in various ad hoc sub-committees and working groups examining such areas as duty and travel restrictions and the dissemination and handling of national intelligence estimates. GP staff Assistance Visits. During FY i974, the Manage- ment Division participated in Directorate staff assistance visits to various major command headquarters. During these visits, physical, administrative, and personnel security practices were reviewed and varisus local probiems discussed and resolved where possible, Foliowing is a list of these trips performed: HQ USAFE (10-19 October 1373}, HQ MAC (17 January 1974), HQ PACAF (18-22 January 1974), HQ USAPSS {24 February-1] March 1974}, 8Q TAC (22-24 April 1974}, and HO AFCS (10-12 June 1974). AIR FORCE SPECIAL SECURITY OFFICE QP the air Porce Special Security Office (AFSSO), APIS/INSD, provided Special Intelligence (SI} and Special Activities
Si Office (SAO) hardcopy document and message control and dis- ribution support to the Air Staff. In addition, AFSSO USAF conducted security inspections of SI/SAO accredited areas; prepared SI/SAO secure area accreditation requests; provided SI/SAO security guidance to the Air Staff: and processed general officer privacy communications. The AFSSO operated an around-the-clock terminal in the defense Special Security Communications System (DSSCS), a communications system designed solely for electrical transmission of SI/SAQ messages. 8 On two occasions, the AFSSO dispatched teams TDY to support Commander's Conferences. The conference support was successful in each instance. “a, A team of two officers and one NCO departed Washington, oc for seven days' TDY to provide special security support to the USAF Commander’s Conference (CORONA HIGH} from 16+22 September 1973, at the Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Coloradc. b, A team of twe officers departed Washington, Dit, for seven Gays’ TDY to provide speciai security support for the VEar Commander's Conference (CORONA RANGE} from li~17 March 1974, at Patrick AFB, Florida. a The AFSSO USAF rendered 55 support actions to senior Air Staff and DOD officiais while they were TORY from the Washington BC area. @ Computerized listings, serialized and subjective, for electrical product requirements were initiated in December
oe i973, This improved method has reduced the time required to reproduce and update requirements for electrical products. Pe] Defense Communications agency (DCA) developed an OPLAN during this cerio@d which established procedures for the operations of backup communications facilities in the event of complete station outage due to circuit probleme or power failure. In accordance with this plan, AFSSO USAF was established as the Phase 7 alternate route terminal for SSO DIA. Additionally, the AFSSO USAF was designated as the Phase II alternate route terminal for AFSSO Air University, AFSSO Military Airiift Command, and AFSSO Air Force Communication Service, EJ A favorable communication was received from AFIS/INS, Gated 29 July 1974. This communication commended the APSSO USAF Communications Center for its near error-free perfor- mance during the period January-June 1974, This carrespen- cence is quoted in part: “For the six-month period ending 30 June 1974, and among li in the same class, AFSSO US lowest CIM rate, Aithough 2ERC DEFECTS is our goal, we are proud of our No. 1 standing in the local area and want to point out the tremendous job our 16 enlisted communicators are doing.” GM tn March 1974, AFSSO Air Force designed an informal flip-chart briefing which covers extensively the administra- tive handling and control of SI/SAO material. This briefing
a io provides a detailed explanation of markings and receipting procedures, records management, classification guidance, and philosophy of control for all the various categories and formats of SI/SAO material. This brief is presented to small groups of administrative personnel, action officers, ane other interested parties and has proven itself a successful education tool. Significant admininstrative accomplishments of AFSSO USAF were as follows: a. Incoming Messages Processed - 198,888 b. Reproduction and Bistribution of ineoming Messages - 605,679 ¢.

8 The Communications Division conducted an OSD directed General Defense Intellicence Frogram [GDIP} manpower reduction effort; planned and monitored the installation of a secure digital air-to-ground communications link between COBRA BALL and Shemya AS, Alaska; participated in the cianning for consoligation of AF/IN grey phone system with DIA's new secure grey switch; monitored and provided direction to USAFSS fer possible deployment of an Emergency Reaction Air Force Speciai Security Office ({ERAFSSO) to the Mid-East: orovided direction in deploying an ERAFSSO for 21st Air Ferce {MAC} at McGuire APB, New Jersey, during the October 1973 Mid-East Crisis; prepared the Air Force portion of a Generali befense Intelligen Telecommunications Reauirements and capabilities document; participated in the planning for a secure high~speed communi~ cations link between the COBRA DANE facility at Shemya AS, Alaska, and the Foreign Technology Division at Wright-Patterson for USEUCOM Analysts? Intelligence Display and Expioitatisn System (ZUCOM AIDES); participated in reewriting AFNAG i-C, chapter 5, Criterions for installing Secure Voice Equipment in Fixed Facilities; and conducted a study which resulted in the retention of the 7602nd Air Intelligence Group Telecommunications Center at Ft Belvoir, Virginia; and studied the consolidation of the AFSSO telecommunications centers at Lindsey AS and Schierstein, Germany. ot
t x General Defense Inteilicence Program (GDIP} Mangower Reduction for Frogram Elements On 29 August 1973, the Defense Intelligence Sgency (DIA) initiated a reduction exercise based on Deputy Secretary of Defense letter of 13 July 1973, This exercise had a target of 28% reduction of GDIP manpewer resources. The Defense Special Security System Program Element 31028F ang the Intellicence Communications Program Element 310S56F were forced to absorb this 25% reduction. This reduction will be accomplished by FY 78. Emergency Reaction Air Force Special Security Office (ERAFSSO) on Standby for Pessible Deployment to Mid-East eas On 6 Octeber 1973, an immediate reguest from CINCUSAFE/IN was received for an ERAFSSO from European assets to be placed on stand-by for Geployment to the Mié-East. The CINCUSAFE request was validated, and HO USAFSS was advised to take necessary action to provide the ERAFSSO. Within 72 hours, HQ USAFSS confirmed that an ERAFSSO from the 6911 Security Squadron (Rhein-Main AB, Germany) was ready for deployment. Emergency Reaction Air Force Special Security Office (ERAFSSG) for 21st Air Force (MAC), McGuire AFB, New Jersey CB SCio mac requested an ERAPSSO on 12 October
86 1973 for 21st Air Force at the earliest possible time due to the Mid-East crisis, The HQ MAC request was validated and coordinated with HQ USAFSS to provide the support. The 2ist Air Force provided airlift support for USAFSS personnel and communications van from Kelly AFB, Texas, to McGuire AFB, New Jersey, on 16 October 1973. Hq MAC advised on 17 October 1973 that the ERAFSSO was operational, GRR on 23 October 1973, HQ MAC determined that the intelligence communications support being provided by the ERAFSSO would be required on a permanent basis for MAC's mission in the Mid-East and European areas. The requirement for a per- manent AFSSO facility was approved. The APSSO facility was constructed and activated in FY 1/758. COBRA BALL SHEMYA Secure Digital Communications Link
COBRA DANE Communications 6 APCS prepared a Communications Implementation Plan (CEIP) to support the COBRA DANE Program. Communications will consist of a full duplex communications link between the COBRA DANE facility at Shemya AFB, Alaska, and FTD at Wright-Patterson APB, Ohio. The communications Link will support the simul- taneous transmissions of secure 2400 BPS computer data BPS teletype traffic, and 159 Additionally, a high-speed data circuit and a teletype capability will be provided between FTD and CIA. These communication links will be used to process data collected by the COBRA DANE radar. Presently, a 75 Baud dedicated analyst cirenit between FYD and Shemya exists. This facility is planned for operation in FY 1/76. 8? peleted per $ U.S.e. 3952 (b) (1)
BB AP/IN and DIA Secure Voice Network Consoldation eo On 1? July 1973, Defense Intelligence Agency proposed a plan to upgrade the DIA portion of the NSA Secure Telephone System, This plan included the possible integration of the AF/IN secure voice network with the DIA portion of the NSA Secure Telephone System. DIA plans to replace their current switch with a Stromberg Carlson 400/800 ESS initially configured for 200 lines and 12 trunks with expansion capabity of 24 trunks. Benefits of integrations with DIA would provide: a. More trunk availability to the NSA switch to reduce the busy conditions between AF/IN subscribers and offices outside AF/IN, b. Calls to DIA offices would not traverse the NSA switch on Nebraska Avenue, ¢. Less operational maintenance expense in AF/IN equipment and leased lines, @ A feasibility study was submitted by DIA to AF/PREX to investigate the possibility of establishing an interservice support agreement which would provide for instellation and maintenance support of the new system by the Air Force. @ Any future planning for this possible intregation is pending results of the feasibility study by AF/PRCX.
Revision of AFNAG-1C to USAFINTEL 201-7 bears | The National Security Agency has given military departments authority to upgrade the AVTOSEVOCGM systems to the SAO level] on a selective basis. Additionally, each military Department acts as certifying authority on all SI/SAOQ certifi- cations of switches/secords and terminals. in the past, National Security Agency has acted as approving/disapproving authority on all switch/secerd certification requests. On 29 April 1974, AFIS/INSE and USAPSS/SRE revised portions of AFNAG-IC to reflect present criterions for certifying gwitches/secoerds and terminals for SI/SARO level information. “these new procedures were also incorporated in the revised USAPINTEL 201+7 and disseminated to al] AFSSOs and Air Force operated SSOs. 7602 Air Intelligence Group Telecommunications Center |] In December 1973, AF/PRCO requested we consider alternate ways to provide telecommunications support to the 7602 Air Intelligence Group, Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The request was initiated in the interest of economy and in con- sonance with DOD-wide efforts to consolidate telecommunications centers located in close proximities to each other. AF/PRCO recommended that the 7602 Telecommunications Center (7602 TCC) be closed, and communications support for the group be pro- vided by the Army operated Telecommunications Center {fCC} at Ft. Belvoir, However, our study of the alternatives concluded that:
30 a. Continued operation of the 7602 TCC is essential ta the successful accomplishment of the mission of the 7602 AINTELGP. b. Consolidation with the U.S, Army TCC would result in a net increase of DOD manpower spaces with no cost savings realized. We recommended to AF/PRCO that the 7602 TCC be continued opera- tionally, and advised that no cost savings will be realized by consolidating with the U.S, Army TCC. AF/PRCO concurred with our recommendation. USEUCOM Analysts’ Intelligence Display and Exploitation System (EUVCOM AIDES) rcp neene To improve automated systems to provide inereased support to USCINCEUR Indications and Warning (1&W) funetions and general intelligence automatic data process~ ing, USCINCEUR has developed the USEUCOM Analysts’ Intelli- gence Display and Exploitation System (EUCOM AIDES). This project will use an on-line near real-time computer assisted interactive support system, inter-netting all theater intei~ licence production sites. The system will extend throughout the European theater connecting intelligence functions at the following Major Commands and organizational elements of the U.S, European Command: a. HQ USEUCOM b. HQ USAREUR c. HQ USAFE ad. HO USNAVEUR
e. European Defense Analysis Center (EUDAC} f, 497th Reconnaissance Technical Group {RTD} rd On 3 November 1973, DIA provided guidence and delineated management responsibilities during development and imple- mentation of EUCOM AIDES. This office has provided tele- communications planning and programming support for the HQ USAFE telecommunications requirements in conjunction with AFIS/IND. This program should be operational by EY 76. General Defense Intelligence Telecommunications Requirements (GDITR) @ The DIA tasked commanders of the unified and specified commands and the military department chiefs to submit infor- mation to DIA for the preparation of consolidated intelli- gence telecommunications requirements and capabilities Gocument, The document included sll identifiable or predictable GDIP and Special Reconnaissance Vehicle (SRV} telecommunications requirements for the support of GDIP/SRV activities from the present through 1984.

d+ ABSTRACT Chapter IV ~ Intelligence Data Management # This chapter provides an account of intelligence data handling activities undertaken in support of Air Force command requirements, particularly in the com- mand and control area. [It also describes in detail the major initiatives undertaken to insure the ade- quacy of ACS/Intelligence, Hq USAF staff intelligence data processing capabilities.
CHAPTER IV INTELLIGENCE DATA MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES @ An Air Force Intelligence Service (AFIS) merger of the Data Management Branch (AFIS/INYE) and the Data Reference Branch of the Target Intelligence Division (AFIS/INTC) was effected during August 1973, The Data Reference Library became INYER. Eleven of the INTC's fifteen manpower authorizations were transferred, includ- ing incumbent personnel. The Pentagon facilities (room 48137) came under control of INYE, although personnel of the Threat Applications Directorate {AF/INA) continued to oceupy a portion of the 4B137 vault area. a On 8 April 1974, the offices of ACS/I and AFIS were reorganized, AFIS/INYE was redesignated AFIS/IND and became a division (Intelligence Data Management Division). The Chief, Data Management Division, was made responsible to the Director oF Support for the Air Force Intelligence Service {AFIS/SU}. FUNCTIONAL CHANGES gs On 1 April, AF/INY delegated responsibility for all functions related to paragraph 14, Air Force Regulation 300-2, 12 November 1971, Management of Automatic Data
3b se Processing Systems, to AFIS/IND. Under the AFR 300-2, this delegation includes the AF/IN responsibility for: {1} development and validating Automated Data Systems (ADS) reguirements; (2} developing, reviewing, and coordinating requirements documents, groject directives, and project plans; (3) evaluating ADS and providing recommendations for improvement; (4) participating in the management reviews of ADPS and ADS development actions: and, (5} providing: (a) support for the acquisition of ADPS and the development of ADS in accordance with HQ USAF approved project directives and project plans; and (bh) recommenda- tions to the Director of Data Automation for the improved utilization of ADP resources. FOROMS a During FY 74, the Chief, intelligence Data Manzge- ment Division, or his designated representatives, partici- pated in several Air $taff-, DOD-, and national-level forums. INFORMATION HANDLING COMMITTEE (THC) @@ aris/inn continued to participate on the IHC of the United Staces Intelligence Board. No status change has eccurred for the IHC during this fiscal year. USIB COMPUTER SECURITY SUB-COMMITTEE @ This sub-committee, with APIS/IND representation,
97 continued to study the multi-level computer security program, DATA AUTOMATION PANEL (DAP) & The Chief, IND, is a member of the DAP, one of eleven specialized panels of the Air Staff Board Structure. The DAP conducts initial reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on designated ADP-related matters. During FY 74, the DAP continued to meet, singly or in joint session, with other panels to receive briefings and consider such issues as a base-level logistics system, budget priorities, and ADP support for simulation. ADP MOBILITY REQUIREMENTS WORKING GROUP a This group is responsible to the DCS/Pians and Operations for studying the use of computers in a mobile and deployable cenfiguration. During FY 74, the Group considered designated problems, principally concerning airborne computer software and recommended corrective actions. TACTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING AND INTERPRETATION {TIPI} POCUMENT CONTROL/STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL (DC/SR) JOINT TEST FORCE (JTF) a AFIS/IND participated in the JTF meetings, chaired by AF Systems Command, to develop detailed OC/SR test
38 objectives. The objectives wiil 22 ised by contractors {Systems Development Corporaticn anid Fadio Corporation of America) to guide development, tz#5t, and evaluation. During FY 74, the JTF also prezarsi the test site and the test schedule. SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT ACTIONS COMMUNICATIONS - ELECTRONICS IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (CEIP) @M Afis/inp initiated this actizs in 1973 to provide communications backbone for an IDES network. On 19 February 1974, the Air Staff arzrcvec the CONAD IDHS CEIP for implementation of 4800-upgracazle to 9600-baud IDHSC circuits between ALCOM, CONAL, DIA, LANTCOM, and 3 SAC. inks from DIA to CONAD and S20 have been installed. wv The link to CONAD is supporting an average of ten queries o per day against the CONAD Stratef.i: Indicators and Display sest and evaluation Data Base. CONAD has also init: of IDHSC queries through the AN. SYI-i1l{¥) terminals. £o ALCOM and Installation of the IDHS links LANTCOM were delayed pending r of new ADP equipment in FY 75. RECCE TECH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (RTMIS) a The contract with Planning Research Corporation for the follow-on development of the =T7MIS under Data Auto- mation Proposal 1896 was completed. The final version of RIMIS is currently being emploved at TAC.
9Y CONAD 1 DHS BH AFIS/IND secured approval of two AN/GYQ=21(V) Data Processing Stations for CONAD IDHS. The CONAD tactical warning mission requires the correlation of all-source strategic intellicence to support trajectory and orbital analysis. The NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex requires ADP hardware commonality, which is a Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS} computer configura~ tion. However, CONAD intelligence requirements could not be satisfied with the standard WWMCCS software with- out major medifications which would destroy the compatibil- ‘ity with the WWMCCS community and incur substantial system software development cost. AFIS/IND proposed the use of the Rome Air Development Center AN/GYQ-21{V) Data Processing Station with WWMCCS. This system exploits the unique aspects of a mini-computer to interconnect a wide variety ef communications and ADP capabilities. On 14 December 1973, JCS, DIA, and the Air Staff validated the operational use of AN/GYQ~21(¥V) with standard WWMCCS hardware and software. The same letter also validated the installation of a second AN/GYQ-21(V}. PTD IDES Ba Under the auspices of APIS/IND, the I8M 360/65 computer system was upgraded during January 1974 with $12,000 charac- ters of additional core storage and replacement of 2 1/2
liu $ billion characters of obsolete immediate access storage. Authorization was also granted for the addition of 128,900 characters of core storage for the IBM 360/40 system during the time period. A major improvement in the FTD computer capability was the replacement in June 1374 of the UNIVAC 1108 with the UNIVAC 1110 system which will permit future 100% expansion in system capacity. PACAS IDHS a APIS/IND coordinated actions to upgrade the IBM 360/40 to a government-owned IBM 360/50 in April 1974. As executive agent for MODS and SENTINEL AIDES, PACAF continued to perform software maintenance and minor 8 enhancements through a contract with IBM. TAC IDHS a Computer support to the TIPI DC/SR CAT II Test was provided by the IDBS contractor (Computer System Corporation}. All IDHS contractor support was phased out by 1 July 1974. The primary user of TAC/IDHS was the #80 Reconnaissance Technical Group (RTG). However, effective 15 June 1974, the 480 RTG was deactivated and replaced by the 9th Tactical Intelligence Squadron (TIS). XYDHS support continued for the 9th TIS, although at a reduced manpower level. The IBM 360/40 has been retained in the 9th TIS.
SAC IDHS ae During FY 74, the Visuai Analysis Sub-system (VASS) replacement was completed. The IBM 370/158 was selected to replace the VASS IBM 360/50 and the SAC Sperational Planning Staff (SACOPS} UNIVAC 1219 and IBM 360/44. The <8M 376/158 was installed on 22 December 1373. VASS was declared operational on 2 January 1974 and SACOPS became operational on 1 June i974. All necessary planning and approval documents, including the Data Automation Requirement, were reviewed and coordinated through the Air Staff by AFIS/IND. Consolidation of VASS and SACOPS support on one machine represented a dollar savings. USAFE IDHS Rf The IBM 360/50 at Schierstein Compound, West Germany, continued to support the Intelligence Research Center (IRC), the Directorate of Targets, the 497 RTG {al1 located at Schierstein), and Hq USAPE Intelligence at Ramstein AB. In response to a USAPE statement of requirements, AFIS/IND expedited the design, fabrication, and installation of a van~mounted AN/GYQ~21(V} Relocatable Terminal Support System {RPSS) 7 The system was delivered to the Schierstein Compound in April 1974. Training for the operators was completed in May. mm A software contract for Storage and Retrieval 1s)
Processor (SARP) software was signed with aunker-Ramo Corporation in april. This contract is directed by AFIS/IND through the Rome Air Development Center. The software will provide the RTSS with basic application programmer file management facilities, All software is to be delivered by February 197$. The RTSS is not scheduled to be moved to Ramstein AS, but will remain at Schierstein Compound for continuing research and development work such as interfacing te AUTODIN and developing AN/GYQ-21(V) software for the EUCOM AIDES computer (to be installed at Ramstein AB in FY 75}. IDHS “TRAINING a AFIS/IND continues to support the Armed Forces Air Intelligence Training Center {AFAITC}) IDHS program by providing external assistance funds for IBM contractor work, This support provided additional route search and CRT display capabilities on the IBM 360/40 computer for students. AFAITC also continued te provide IDHS Mobile Training Teams (MTT} to the field on the Formatted Pile System, Modular Data System, and the Machine-Independent Data Management System, wg As each AN/GYQ-21(V) computer is installed, Bunker- Ramo Corporation provides a three-week programmer/analyst and operator course. In December 1973, the DIA requested the Department of the Air Force to assume the responsibility
as the Single Service Training Support Manager for 12 AN/GYQ+22(V} systems. AFISs D has been assigned this responsibility and will screen the other services, unified and specified commands, and separate operating agencies for their training requirements. S8ased on these require- ments, AFIS/IND will establish an on-site MTT capability ithrough HQ ATC) with AFAITC, [It is anticipated that the MTT instruction will be available during the fourth quarter of FY 75. DATA PROCESSING STATIONS SMF On 29 October 1973, the DIA requested that USAF assume logistical support responsibilities for all poD AN/GYQ-21{V} Data Processing stations.” ACS/I designated AFIS/IND the office of primary responsibility. Coordina~ tion with the Air Force Logistics Command resulted in the Warner~Robins Air Logistics Center (ALC) being assigned Single Service Logistics Manager (SSLSM) responsibilities. The SSLSM will develop an Integrated Logistics Support Plan in coordination with the services and the DIA. Logistics support for the AN/GYQ-21{(V)s, including mainte- nance personnel, replacement spare parts, and aerospace ground equipment, will be provided through a maintenance contract negotiated and monitored by the Warner-Robins ALC. The SSLSM is committed to having a maintenance contract in ferce by FY 76. AFIS/IND will continue to monitor and coordinate logistical support for DPS on behalf of DOD IDHS.
| AIR PORCE INTELLIGENCE SECUREFAX SYSTEM {AFISS) GM = vhe aAFIssS equipment is the DACOM, Inc, Model 412 Secure Digital Document Facsimile Transceiver (Securefax)}. It 1s designed to quickly transfer letter size {up to 3 i/2" x 14") documents (up to SI/SAO level} between offices using normal AUTOVON lines, AFIS/IND identified this equipment as a potential enhancement to IDHS. QAR In November 1973, AFIS/IND began efforts to install Securefax devices at the Rome Air Development Center, the Air Force Foreign Technology Division, AFIS/IND in the Pentagon, and the North American Air Defense Command fone in the NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex and another in the NORAD J~2 at Ent AFB). TEMPEST testing, a security analysis, was performed during March 1974; and in May 1974, DIA approved using the Securefax device for $I/SAO data transmissions. “4 a Planning is completed and approval is anticipated to expand the AFISS to include the new Hq MAC Intelligence Warning Center at Scott AFB, two devices for Hq USAFSS {one at Kelly AFB and one at the Security Service liaison office at Fort G. Meade}, and another at Friendship Annex for AFIS/INI, These sites are scheduled to be opera~ tional early in 1975. Future plans incluce installation at a Securefax device at Hg SAC and three at USAFE (one at Ramstein AB, another in the Schierstein Compound, ve +
and a third in the Boerfink Complex}. TAC, IPAC, ALCOM, and the NORAD Alternate Command Post (ALCOP) are also scheduled for inclusion to the AFISS. @MR The OLA and the Army and Navy IDH Systems plan to install Securefax devices compatible with the AFISS, The DIA installations will include the National Military Indications Center, Arlington Hall Station, and the Cafritz, Hoffman, and Pomponio Buildings. @ AFIS/IND has accomplished the coordination and actions necessary to arrange for all the Air Force installations and has assisted the other Services and the DIA in their acquisitions. AFIS/IND is promoting the compatibility of as many DOD secure facsimile installations as possible to facilitate the exchange of &@ greater volume of intelligence (as well as planning and administrative} data between DOD organizations. Key factors in the success of Securefax include the speed of transmission and receipt, TEMPEST approval of the equipment, an ability to function over undedicated telephone lines, and relative low cost. AFIS/IND is ¢losely following the progress of DACOM, Inc, in their efforts to develop a photo transmission capability which is as practical and as inexpensive as the Securefax.
Selective Dissemination of Information {SDI} ae During the processing of newly acquired documents by AFIS/INDOC, the Selective Dissemination of Informa- tion sub-system tailors the distribution of documents to the needs of individual analysts based on predetermined interest profiles stored in the system, In conjunction with this capability, satellite microfilm files were. established in selected AF/IN and AFIS offices by accumulat- ing the requirements of the individual analysts remotely lecated from the Pentagon research facility. Additionally, the SDI sub-system was expanded to permit announcement of the availability of a given document without actually disseminating it. Intelligence Report Processing w Under normai conditions, approximately $00 raw Intelligence Reports (IRs) would be received weekly from DIA from the over 2000 coded and entered by DIA into their Intelligence Report Index System ({IRISA}. This system requires batch processing of queries through the DIA Reference Library. Approximately 25-30 of the IRs received from BIA each week had been coded by AFIS/INpDOCc and entered inte an on-line DIAOLS index, INDO designed a file processing procedure which extracts the records of all IRs distributed by DIA to any AP/IN-AFIS element and places their records into an on~line DIAOLS file.
1€8 \y IRs and sermits timely This relieves INDO of reingexi access by an intelligence analyst to over 60,000 IRs. BlOgraphic Support Be AFIS/INDOC provided 303 biographic sketches during the Office this period to the Foreign Liaison Office, of the Chief of Staff, and various offices of the Secretary of the Air Force. These sketches are normally on key personnel of foreign countries to be visited by high-ranking Air Force personnel, or key foreign per~ sonnel scheduled to visit the United States, 8.0, 292(b) (1) Deleted per 5 1
129 MISCELLANEOUS DATA REFERENCE STATISTICS & During this period, 2160 queries were submitted to DIAOLS/COINS/CIRCOL; 3200 special 4 x 6 microfiche were produced in support of Project HOMECOMING; authorized users of Air Force files on DIAOLS have grown to 172; 808 one-time requests for documents were received, verified, and the document(s} disseminated; 1656 changes to dissemination requirements for individuals/organizations were required; physical distribution was made on 260 additional requests; 518 walk-in requests were handled; 1263 documents were loaned; 343 Polaroid photos were taken of documents; 333,127 microfiche’ frames were shot on the planetary camera; 5295 aperture card masters were created; 7613 aperture card duplicates were pro- duced; 8596 microfiche masters were created and 10,949 microfiche duplicates produced; 41,126 frames were photographed with the rotary camera; and 29,526 cards added/deleted to/from the Mosler storage and retrieval system, DISSEMINATION OF INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS TO CONTRACTORS a AFIS/INDOc was involved in several meetings and coordinated on numerous papers in an attempt to resolve the problems associated with dissemination of intelligence eocuments and information to contractors (specifically RAND). Since a panel whose function it was to validate
ild and aoprove dissemination of such documents was dissolved, no authorized sethod of validating a contractor’s request for documents (except onetime requests} has existed, SPECIAL CATEGORY MESSAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM sa An automated system was established and implemented to provide centralized control, processing, and dissemina~ tion of compartmented intelligence message traffie within the elements serviced by the Air Force Special Security Office {APIS/INSD). RESERVE MANAGEMENT AND MOBILIZATION SYSTEM (RMAMS} a Development and implementation of this capability to support management of Air Force Reservists in intelligence speciaities continued. New elements were added to the file and new and improved reports provided to the OPR {APIS/RE}, Additionally, analyses were conducted to determine the feasibility of transferring elements of the file to an on-line system, As 4 result, the decision was Made to install the RMAMS on an unclassified t me-sharing computer system at the Air Force Data Services Center {AFDSC), and the design phase of the project was initiated, Necessary file space was obtained from the APDSC on the time-sharing system, and actions initiated to obtain two Hazeltine Model 2000 cathode ray tube (CRT) terminal devices (with
111 printers} for the project. One of the terminals will be located within AFIS/INDO for developmental work and the second installed at the user location (AFIS/RE} at Fort Belvoir. The time-sharing system will be accessed via acoustic couplers and standard telephone lines. HOMECOMING DATA BASE | Updating of the Homecoming file continued during the period with data obtained from Southeast Asia (SEA) prisoner of war (POW) returnees. The nearly 3000 audio tapes containing the Gebriefings of POWs were transcribed verbatim by the 6306th Security Squadron of Air Force Security Service and the transcripts indexed using approximately 40 predetermined index terms. Abstracts were prepared for each transcription, and all the data reduced to microfiche by APIS/INDO personnel, Arrange~ ments were made with the NISC for that agency to produce, on a reimbursable basis, the required number of microfiche copies at their production facility for later study and research.” The computerized index to the microfiche and the hard copy transcripts were delivered to the 7602nd AINTELG OPR for POW matters. SENTINEL SCORE Ed Modifications were made to the programs that update the SENTINEL SCORE file with data from the USAF Military Personnel Center (MFC), These modifications became
necessary due to an MPC changeover to a new computer system, MODULAR DATA SYSTEMS (MODS) @B The Disk Operating System (DOS) version of MODS was converted to operate under the IBM Operating System {OS} by Hq PACAF and provided to this organization for use on the Air Force Data Services Center IBM 360/75 computer system. The new version of MODS was successfully installed by this office, and ail data systems previously using DOS/MODS were converted for use with the new OS/MODS. EXTENSION OF DIAOLS TO LYNN BUILDING 2 A model 37 teletype texminal was installed and made operational in the SI vault area of AP/INAP in the Lynn Building for joint use by AF/INAP and AFYIS/IND personnel. It permits interactive manipulation of intelligence files housed on the Defense Intelligence Agency {DIA} On«Line i 132 Deleted per $ U.S.C. 252 (b} (2)
System (DIAOLS} and batch access to the Cormunity On-Line Intelligence Network System {COINS}. [In conjunction with the Lynn Building installation, COMSEC equipment support- ing the operational intelligence (AFIS/INOB) function was relocated from an adjacent area into AFIS/INOB space to insure accessibility of DIAOLS files during weekend opera- tions and after normal duty hours. Additional T-16 multi- plexer equipment was procured and installed to achieve this goal in a short period of time, AIR FORCE DATA SERVICES CENTER UTILIZATION ae AFIS/INDO continued and significantly increased the utilization of Air Force Data Services Center computing capabilities during this period. Arrangements were made to utilize the IBM 360/75 computer for processing compart~ mented intelligence data previously srocessable only at the DIA. Approximately two hours per week have been made available for our use for such processing in e dedicated mode, Use of the system for processing of collateral data in a shared (multi-programming}) mode continued, Approval was obtained from the Air Force Data Services Center in Octoher 1973 for use of the AFDSC unclassified time-sharing system on a dial-up basis.” Subsequent approval was obtained in March 1974 for use of two cathode ray tube (CRT) terminalis with the system, 2
UPGRADE OF DIAOLS REMOT. S3ATCH TERMINAL {RBT} B The Defense Intelligence Agency approved the up¢rade of the AF/IN-AFIS BIAOLS G11lS remote batch terminal (RBT} to an AN/GYQ-21{(V} Sata Processing Station, manufac- tured by the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and marketed commercially as the PDF 11/45 computer. Following DIA aperoval, a Data Automation Requirement was submitted to the Air Force Directer of Data Automation {AF/ACD} and acquisition of a system approved by that era Procurement action was initiated through the Rome Air Development Center and installation expected in July 1974, Required facility work to accommodate the system was completed by 30 June. AUTODIN INTERFACE PLANS R Foliowing successful interfacing of a van-mounted mini»comonter to the Defense Communications Agency {DCA} Automatic Digital Network {AUTODIN), using 2 Western Union Programmable Terminal controller (PTC), tentative plans were made to attempt a similar interface to the AN/GYG~21i¥) OPS scheduled for installation in July 1974. This action would be consistent with a forthcoming AUTODIN query/response capability scheduled to be implemented by DCA, Because of the fact that the sysuem would handle compartmented intel~ ligence traffic, it would be interfaced to the Defense Special Security Communications System which utilizes worldwide AUSODIN network for transmitting message traffic.
DEAOLS SUPPORT FOR CAFRITZ BUILDING A requirement was identified by the Target Intelli-+ gence Division “APIS/INT) for DIAOLS terminal support in the Cafritz Building. AFIS/IND instituted action to secure DIA and Air Force approvai for this project, and installation of a KSR-3? teletype terminal is expected in early 1975. FOREIGN PUBLICATIONS INDEX SYSTEM [(FPIS)} @ The Soviet Strategic Affairs Section maintains a collection of Soviet books, magazines, newspapers, journals, ang graphic materials related to Soviet military thought and doctrine, The material, primarily unclassified and written in Russian for the consumption of the Soviet Military, is representative of the types of material avail- able through open sources. A computer-based information retrieval system called the Foreicn Publications Index System (FPIS} was developed in support of that organization to store indexing information on authors of publications cited within the system. FPIS provides for the classifica- tion of materials into Intelligence Interest groupings and permits either shallow or in-depth content indexing by the user. The computer software generates a variety of 22 research reports from the data base.
116 RESOURCE CONTROL SYSTEM SEVELOPMENT ga Implementation of the rescurce control system was initiated, but later terminated pending DIA development of their Intelligence Management Information System (IMIS). COMMUNICATING MEMORY ASSISTED TYPEWRITERS @ Plans were made to lease two Wang 1200 memory-assisted typewriters to test their communicating capabilities and determine the feasibility of using such equipment to trans~ mit finished unclassified correspondence between widely separated elements of AFIS. One of the machines is scheduled for installation on the third floor of the Lynn Suilding, where it will be accessible by all AF/IN-AFIS elements in that building, and the other in AFIS/DA in the Pentagon. Installation during August 1974 is expected. REFERRAL SERVICE DEVELOPMENT P} Levelopment was initiated on an automated inventory of information resources capable of aiding others in the intelligence community. These information resources consist of activities and individuals having specialized knowledge and capabilities applicable to intelligence activities. The information resources data base will generate a Referral Service Directory, which provides users with a reference tool in the form of data pertaining to both individual authorities and activities.
UNCLASSIFIED FACSIMILE EQUIPMENT fe J Facsimile transmission/receiving devices were leased and installed in the Lynn Building (AFIS/IND), Cafritz Building (APIS/INT), Fort Belvoir (AFIS/RE}, and the Pentagon {AFIS/DP}) te permit transmission of unclassified facsimile using standard telephone lines. Equipment was installed to permit rapid movement of paperwork between widely separated elements of AF/IN and AFIS. ~ 17 352{b} (1) Deleted per 5 U.S.C.

119 Maintenance Program g AFIS/IND management of File Search systems has been directed toward standardizing and centralizing all system support actions. At the direction of AFIS/IND, acting as an Executive Agent, the Warner-Robins Air Logistic Center (ALC) processes support contracts for mainterance of a large variety of equipment at Army, Navy, and Air Force intelligence sites and funds ail support requirements other than on-site maintenance. Under the administrative management of AFIS/IND, the contract for this equipment has reduced costs, shortened procurement time, and assured @ continuity of effort essential to field operations.

12¢ ABSTRACT Chapter ¥Y - Intelligence Reserve Forces This chapter provides an account of AFIS initia- ives and programs designed to elevate the status and capabilities of intelligence reserve forces. particu~ larly Individual Mobilization Augmentees. 4 good account is provided of the underlying concepts and specific methodologies of this important program.
CHAPTER V INTELLIGENCE RESERVE FORCES In order to provide for the development and management of the ceographically diverse Air Force Intellicence Service Reserve resources {personnel are located throughout the CONUS, and in Alaska, Hawaii and Europe} and to insure Reservists are available for proficiency upgrade support projects at active force installations, the Air Force Intelligence Service Reserve Program provides for the existence of Detached Training Sites, commonly referred to as Petach~ ments {DETS}. These detachments have bean informally defined by the Directorate of Intelli-~ gence Reserve Forces (AFIS/RE} as: * Authorized administrative entities, without unit status, established throughout the CONUS and overseas to train and utilize mobilization augmentees assigned or attached to AFIS." It is to be assumed that the succeeding text will be read with an apprecia~ tion that the AFIS/RE Betachments are not detach- ments formally established under the provisions of AFM 26-2, Organizational Policy and Guidance, Through these detachments, APIS/RE provides the local management and control of mobilization aughentees necessary to achieve program objectives, aa the expanded utilization of reserve forces in intelli- gence, as envisioned by Major General George Keegan, put great pressure on the existing administrative command structure. The Gecision was made by General Keegan, ACS/I, to enhance reserve affairs management by elevating 7602d AINTELG/INFPC to a directorate level within AFIS, The Directorate, Intelligence Reserve Forces, Headquarters Air Force Intelligence Service was activated on 18 January 1974, Colonel Ronald H. Markarian
was assigned as the first Director, with the responsibility of managing the AFIS Intelligence Reserve Program, Respon- sibilities inelude the administration, training, and utiliza- tion of the AFIS intelligence Mobilization Augmentee (MA) resource. pee | On 30 June 1974, the Directorate was responsible for the control and management of 679 Mobilization Augmen~ tees (MAS). The number is projected to go over 1,000 during the next year, These reservists support HQ USAF, the MAJCOMs, Separate Operating Agencies, and DIA, These MAs have expertise in human source intelligence, foreign language document exploitation, threat assessment and analysis, aerospace intelligence, photo interpretation and targeting, area analysis, and scientific and technical intelligence. gaa The initial guidance for the intelligence MA program was under the APIR Pian. With the establishment of AFIS/RE, the AF/IN-APIS staffs agreed to an amended plan to preclude time consuming Air Staff coordination. AF/IN Reserve Forces advisor, Maj Gould, and Mobilization Augmentee to the Deputy ACS/I, Colonel Longanecker, through concentrated effort, produced the AFIR Programmed Action Directive (PAD) 74-1 for ACS/I signature. : The PAD 74-1 was approved by the ACS/I on 24 January 1974,
PAD 74-} lists actions and their expected completion Gates required to meet the stated objective--the improvement and expansion of the Air Force Intelligence Reserve, + shows the relationship of reserve support of active duty missions in peacetime as an integral part of maintaining proficiency and mobilization readiness, The PAD specifies three major program objectives: i. Skilis that a commander needs to conduct successful combat operations will be developed on a priority basis. Imagery interpretation targeting, interdiction analysis, bomb damage assessment, weaponeering, area studies, and human resources collection are some of the skills given highest priority under this PAD. 2. Reservists exceptionally qualified in the needed skills will be recruited to support and staff departmental intelligence functions. 3. Professional capability will be developed te address Air Force intelligence requirements at the highest analytical, policy, and operational levels, and including those of a scientific and technical natere. ee The PAD's objective are oriented, primarily toward the mobilization augz.entee program. However, the PAD aiso includes measures to strengthen the intelligence function
of Air Force reserves and Air Guard flying units, includ- ing measures to improve the proficiency training and operational readiness of unit intelligence personnel. Say An objective PAD 74-1 is the improvement of intelligence reserve operations with MAJCOMs, DIA, and other joint commands and agencies. The first phase of this objective is to inform the potential clients of the intelligence reserve program by way of briefings. Phase one has been completed. Ail MAJCOMs and DIA were briefed py mid-March 1974, ee -PAD 74-1 briefings were also included in the staff assistance visits of AFIS/RE to AFIS Reserve Detachments 4 and 15 on 22-24 February 1974; Detachment 14, 8-10 March 1974; Detachments 12, 15 and 16, April 1974; Detachment 1, 27 April 1974, and Detachment 3, 4=5 May 1974. QUERY ft support the PAD, to determine the overall validity of the AFIS/RE mission and objectives, and to validate manpower requirements, Colonel Markarian requested a manpower survey for the Directorate (AFIS/RE), The survey began on 1 April 1974 by AFIS/MO. ‘The general areas examined by the management survey were: the mission and objective; organization; work methods and procedures; workloads; staffing; and facilities and equipment.
12? The AFIS/MO Management Survey (FC 1013, final report) determined AFIS/RE required a strength of 31 personnel to perform the functiens assigned at the time of the survey. This would raise as the number of MAs in the AFIR program increased. However, due to manpower limitations throughout the AFIS, only twenty-five (25) active duty per- sonnel were authorized to currently man the Directorate. Additionally, five (5) reservists on extended tours aiso support the Directorate, bringing the total strength to 30 pexsonnel,. eg The organizational structure of the Directorate consists of three line divisions and staff support in administration and executive services. The three divisions are Operations and Training, Personnel Management, and Pro- Grams Management. Ea In support of Tactical Air Command active force requirements, two officers, Lt Colonel Holmes, AFIS/INT, and Major Bowers, AF/INYD, were designated to assist AFIS/RE in the development of targeting and imagery functions on a part~time basis. ae A conference was held at Langley AFS, 29-30 August 1973. The conference addressed the utilization of AFIS reserves in targeting and imagary functions in support of the 480th Reconnaissance Technical Group and TAC/IN, Ail
participants agreed that the AFIS reserve targeting and imagery elements at Langley AFS should be combined into a joint effort and that it was essential for the personnel assigned to have an SAO clearance. eay While the clearance issue was pending, TAC/IN was prepared to utilize reserve targeteers to augment TAC’s target installation analysis capability. wae The participants at the conference were: Lt Colonel Hensley AFIS/RE Lt Colonel Holmes APIS/INT Colonel Pasti APIS Res Det 12 (Langley}, Cmdr Major Govld APIS/INYM Major Conway APIS/DIC Imagery Cell net 12 Representatives Of: TAC/IN Colonel Bedgen, Colonel Garvey 480 RTG Major Jacobsen, Mr. Millis aaa To initiate a reserve targeting cell, TAC/IN requested AFIS reserve photo interpreters and target officers be select+ ed to attend an orientation session at Langley AFB. Four photo interpreters and one target officer attended a TAC Direc~ torate of Targets Orientation, 21-23 January 1974. ee, It was later determined to eliminate the targeting functions and to proceed with the imagery support only.
Reserve support to the 486 RTG began on 26 November 1973 with the assignment of Captain Mansfield of AFIS Reserve Detachment 3, Castie AFB, CA, Being a qualified imagery interpreter, Captain Mansfield researched aerial and ground imagery for the production of imagery interpretation keys. He expanded this task to include the detection and identi- fication of certain weapons systems in use, and the sub- sequent cataloging of the imagery of the systems for use with a computer file. The ideal of the computer file and other procedures which Captain Mansfield developed will continue to be used by the 480 RTG Imagery Interpretation Keys Branch. pee | It was apparent that the most effective utilization of Intelligence Reservists could be realized only through the employment of key reservists in positions requiring apecial access Clearances. In many cases, meaningful support to the active force was contingent upon the capability of reservists to work with Special Intelligence {SI} and Special Activities Office (SAO) materials during two week active duty tours. Many highly qualified individuals had used such materials while on active duty and would certainly be expected to use them if recalled to active duty during crisis situations, As reservists, they were denied access to information and intelligence materials that would permit them to he fully productive manpower resources within the total force concept.
130 GESBA itn March 1974, the Air Force was informed by the SECDEF that it had been granted twenty-four SAO billets for use by Air Force intelligence in a test program designed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using reservists in highly sensitive positions. The test program was instituted in March at the 9th Tactical Intelligence Squadron (TIS) at Langley AFB, VA, The twenty-four individuals involved were photo interpreters who were scheduled for two-week active duty tours between March and August 1974. Reserve support to 9 TIS has been continuous from that time, The reservists compiled Automated Tactical farget Graphics and updated information on targets, There are already indicators of the project's unqualified success, and an effective conclusion is expected in August 1974. The experi- ment has already demonstrated that reservists can make substan- tial contributions to the production of SAO materials and proved that reservists can successfully be integrated into SAO production environments through existing personnel and physical security procedures, pe AFIS/RE's support of DIA is a continuous objective of PAD 74~1, Efforts to build-up Detachment 19 for in-place support had high priority. The manning of vacant MA spaces in support of DIA is progressing toward completion, HME wo projects, tasked by DIA to AFIS/RE detachnents, serve to illustrate the degree of support rendered by AFIS/RE
131 detachments. They are the missile threat analysis on Japan and India, and the assessment on current capabilities, weaknesses, Organizational command structure, strength and deployment of air and naval forces of “Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. The following AFIS Reserve Detachments have heen selected to accomplish these projects: Reserve Detachment 2, Selfridge ANG Base, MI - Chile «& Columbia Reserve Detachment 5, McChord AFB, WA ~ Argentina & Brazil Reserve Detachment 8, Great Lakes Naval Training Center, IL ~ Mexico & Panama ; , Reserve Detachment $, Hickam APB, HI ~ Peru & Venezuela Reserve Detachment 11, Fe Belvoir, VA - Missile Threat Analysis, Japan & India Reserve support to MAC was initiated when three AFIS reserve officers performed special tours of duty at Scott AFB, IL. They responded to an urgent request for support by the Director of Intelligence {IN}, Headquarters, MAC. The reserve officers were assigned to the current intelligence section, MAC/IN, and successfully supported MAC's role in providing an emergency airlift capability during the Middle-East crisis. aa Since that initial assignment, seven more annual tours have been pulled at Scott APB, one at Hickam AFB, and one at
132 Travis AFB, [It is anticipated that there wiil be more requests by MAC for intelligence support by reservists in the near future. Gza The expansion of Scientific and Technical (S&T) intelligence within the AFIS reserve program to support the active force has commenced. EEE recruiting officers have keen ambitiously looking for candidates with scientific and engineering backgrounds. These recruits could have achieved their capabilities by way of military education and/or duty, or civilian education and/or occupation, Many of ‘these new reserve officers will not have intelligence experience and wiil need training to qualify them to apply their S&T expertise within the intelli- gence community, WHE aris;ee Geveloped proposed objectives for a two-week teserve S&T intelligence course. This course will enable 26xx, 27xx, and 28xx reservists to support active force opera- tional requirements. An S&T officer from AF/INAK assisted AFIS/RE on this project, The S&T intelligence course, devel~ oped by ATC, will be conducted at the Armed Forces Air Intelligence Training Center (APAITC), Lowry AFB, during FY 1975. Thirty school tour quotas for the required train~ ing have been requested for F¥ 1975 through #Q COMD/DPB, ARPC, and APIS/RE.
133 Say set requirements have been given additional impetus by the activation of AFIS Reserve Detachment 14, Carswell AFB, TX, and AFIS Reserve Detachment 15, Westover AFB, MA, beth of which will be S&T oriented detachments. The new detachments will draw on the scientific and technical talent in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Boston areas. =e Foreign Technology Division (FTD}, AFSC, received support from two AFIS reservists who served active duty tours with FTP during this peried. Both performed tours in response to S&T requirements levied by FTD. As a direct result of one of the tours, FTD has tasked Reserve betachment vy, MacDill AFB, to provide continuing support to #TD through a combination of active duty tours and weekend training. Detachment 7 is the first AFIS detachment to be tasked to provide such support. ay Four additional APIS reservists have been tentatively identified to respond to PTD reguirements for support. If plans to use these reservists are implemented, three addi- tional reserve detachments could be tasked to support FID on a continuing basis. WHERE Reserve detachment support of APRES and Air Guard flying units was initiated when AFIS reserve detachments collocated with Air Force reserve flying units established contact with the flying unit commanders. AFRES flying units
134 were offered intelligence suppert geared to strengthening their units’ intelligence functions, Flying unit comnanders have been briefed by Major Gould, AF/INYX, and MSgt Fletcher, AFIS/RE, on AFIS reserve detachment capabilities. Two Air Force flying units are now receiving intelligence support by APIS/RE reservists and arrangements are near completion with a third unit. eros J Three new detachments were established during PY 74: Detachment 15, Westover AFB, MA; Detachment 16, Eglin AFB, Pl; and Detachment 19, Arlington Hall Station, VA, Detachment 7 was transferred from McCoy AFB to MacDill AFB due to closing of the base, Reserve detachment status and projections as of 30 June 1974 were as follows: Detachment Location .% McGuire APB, NZ 2 Selfridge APB, MI (Moving te Wright Patterson AFB, OH) 3 Castile APB, CA 4 Lowry AFB, CO 5 McChord AFB, WA & Dover AFB, DE 7 MacDill AFB, FL g Glenview NAS, IL $ Hickam APB, HI 10 March AFB, CA ii Ft Belvoir, VA (moving to Andrews AFB, MD) 12 Langley AFB, VA 13 Pentagon, Wash DC 14 Carswell AFB, TX 15 Westover APB, MA 16 Eglin AFB, PL i?

The purpose of the conference was to provide the latest information available to the Detachment Commanders so that, collectively, they couid confront the critical issues, develop proposed solutions, and implement program changes and improvements to best support the Air Force intelligence mission. perf The NCO Conference, held at this Headquarters on 22=25 Jannary 1974, accomplished much toward explaining the detach- ments' new organization plan. The NCOts instructions includ- ed administrative practices to be established at the detach~+ ment level. Po The new organization plan designated the senior administrative enlisted airmen as Chief of Administration, and the title and staff position of Administrative Officer was Gropped from the detachment program. The Chief of Administration was instructed to report directly to the Executive Officer.
136° ez AFISts involvement in the RSO program was directed by the Office of the Chief of Staff, USAF. In a letter dated 10 September 1973, the OCS/USAF required AFIS support for the expeditious implementation of the MA Reserve Supplement Officer (RSQ) program.

ABSTRACT Chapter YI - Attache Affairs @ This chapter recounts the activities of the Air Force's primary office for administering and control- ling the USAF's Air Attache program. integral te and supportive of the Defense Intelligence Agency's De~ fense Attache System (DAS).
ro ws fas CHAPTER VI ATTACHE AFFAIRS ee The Directorate of Attache Affairs (AFIS/INH} develops capabilities for Air Force participation in the Defense Atvache System {DAS}, monitors performance and results of that participation, and exercises general cognizance over Air Foree aspects of the attache program, In addition, the Directorate serves as the office of primary responsibility and point of contact for 411 intelligence Matters fexcept those otherwise coordinated with OIA} involving Air Force participation in the DAS, SELECTION OF ATTACHE PERSONNEL GP in the recent past, the United States Air Force (USAF) led the three services in the number of attache personnel whose tours of duty were curtailed for either personal or official reasons, Since attache assignments require one to two years of preparation, these curtailments have been extremely costly and in many cases embarrassing to the USAF. As a result, during FY 74, an extensive effort was made to improve the selection process and uparade the quality of Air Force attache nominees. The initial effort was directed toward a more extensive screening of records to identify officers and airmen with superior records
bans as vo 2nd weil-rounded car S. In addition, a steciai effort was Made to identify gsorsonne} with language fluency. Upon identification of a potential nominee, the candidate and his wife sare screened by an attache selection panel feonvened in Washington) to determine cersonal and pre- tescional motivation and adaptability to a military/political environment. The panei is chaired by the Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence and includes representation from non-intelligence Air Staff organizations; e.g., Plans, Overations, Personnel, Foreign Affairs, State Department. invited, ete. MH oovring FY 74, this panei interviewed seventy-seven (77) attache designees, accepting fifty-one (51) (see Appendix 2) and rejecting twenty-six (26). CAREER ENHANCEMENT a The programmed change in the USAF Officer Effectiveness Reporting System during F¥Y 75 impacted directly on USAF efforts to provide outstanding officers to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA} for Air Attache duty. Specifically, Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence evaluations, in the form of Letters of Evaluation {LOEs}), are no longer per- mitted within the regulation. Consequentiy, Air Force efforts to enhance professional and promotion opportunities
for this elite group of AF officers have been iost through the elimination of the LOE, However, in an attempt to continue career enhancement of Air Force officers within the DAS, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been requested to permit the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence to assume the reviewer's function within the new OER system, This function would permit direct competition among worid- wide assigned attaches, provide for direct service promotion and career monitoring, and most importantly, fortifying the career enhancement effort we have undertaken within the Air Force. @ The positive efforts expended by APIS/INH for career enhancement of attache personnel became evident during this fiscal year when attache promotions to colonel rose to a 55% selection rate for first-time consideration, and 18¢ overall, This comeared very favorably with line of the Air Force rates of 364 and 124%, respectively. A listing of officer and enlisted promotions is included as Appendix 2. REPRESENTATIONAL GIFT ITEMS & APIS/INH has continued the program to provide Air Attaches with uniquely Air Force representational gift items for their use on station. During this Fy, the program
was funded in the amount of $13,000, to be used in two six (6})-month increments. A first buy has been initiated and 140i items dispersed to Air Attaches worldwide, This program wiil be budgeted for again in FY 76. Response from attaches concerning the ocram has been overwhelmingly ie) % positive. ATTACHE ATRCRAFT Qh seventeen (17) aircraft, the military version of the Beech Aircraft Corporation King Air 200, have been selected to replace existing attache aircraft in 15 countries worldwide. The countries schedule@ to receive these aircraft in the first buy are: Argentina, Chad, Khmer Republic, Laos. Greece, Republic of South Africa, Philippines, ane Thailand. If svubseauentiy funded, a second buy of aircraft will go to: fghanisten, Brazil, Honduras, Indonesia, Khmer Republic, Laos, Liberia, Venezuela, and Zaire. In addition, for the first time in AF history, the contractor will be resuired to provide 4s totally integrated logistic/maint~ enence support program worldwide for these aircraft. Under the provisions of this contract, 3eech must maintain an 80% opera~ tional ready (OR) status for a 30-hour AF flight commitment per month, CE ——_, ae

Log MISSION AND FUNCTIONS > The 7602d¢ Air Intelligence Grouo was activated by the Air Force Intelligence Service (AFIS} on 30 June i972. By the end of FY 74, the group had been in exist- ence for two years but a formal mission statement had not been issued, such action being held in abevance pending the publication of a mission regulation for its parent organization. The AFIS mission regulation was issued just before the end of FY lo7a,) and immediate action was taken to complete the staffing and publica- tion of the 7602d mission regulation, a In the meantime, the 76624 continued to operate under the mission assigned to its predecessor organiza- tion, the 1127th USAF Field Activities Group.” The mission of that grouse’ was tow~ Conduct worldwide human source intelligence {HUMINT) collection operations; Provide staff and policy support to the ACS/I on ail USAF HUMINT matters; and Coordinate and provide staff and special support for the HUMINT activities of other US Air Force collection elements.

A 8-24 navigator during World War II, he was shot down on 26 December 1944, evaded capture, and returned to US control on 22 March 1945. Colonel Ventres took his pilot training after World War If and flew B+29s in Korea and C~130s in Vietnam. In the course of his career, Colonel Ventres has held several assignments in the intelligence field and, prior to assuming com- mand of the 7602d, was executive to the Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence {ACS/I), HO USAF, Colone} Ventres' military decorations include the Legion of Merit with one Oak Leaf Cluster, the Distinguished flving Cross, the Air Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, and the Air Force Commendation Medal. Headquarters Organization ae The major change in the group organizational Structure was the loss of the reserve affairs unit {formerly the Mobilization and Training Branch, Pro~ grams Division} in the third quarter of FY 74. The
Attache Affairs Office also was transferred to AFIS in that quarter. This latter action, however, merely corrected an organizational irregularity and hed no a impact whatever on the group's mission or functions. ere were a faw internal functional realianmencs in FY 74, some elements were renamed, and new symbols were assigned throughout the group, but, with the exception of the reserve and attache transfers to the AFIS, the basic structure of the 7602 AINTELG remained unchanged. The chart at Apoendix 1 shows the organi~ zation of the group as of 30 June 1974. Personnel & The 7602 AINTELG lost 2S manpower spaces to the AFIS in FY 74: “Yo with transfer of the reserve forces function, @ with transfer of the attache function, and 1 for the program element monitor (PEM) function. These iosses were offset by 14 spaces “regained” from AFIS as a result of 3 command-wide reorganization effec~ tive 8 April 1974, These spaces represented group authorizations which ha@ been transferred to the AFIS and then “double hatted” to serve both the command and the grou. In the April] 1974 reorganization, the dual responsibility for AFIS was abolished and the spaces were returned to the 7602d. Thus, the group's

COLLECTION MANAGEMENT Management by Objectives ae Shortly after assuming command of the 7692 AINTELCG, Colonel Ventres solicited views on the establishment of focal points or orogram managers "who would have the full story on our collection capabilities and the resuits of certain collection efforts and actions being accomplished on a global basis.“ The ultimate goal would be the development of an imaginative, farsighted, planning capability with the ability to anticipate and rapidly react to changing requirements. In Colonel Ventres’ opinion, such a capability was needed because of deficiencies in the historical evaluation process, which merely recorded “where we have been” rather than “where we should be going." a Responding to Colonel Ventres' request, Colonel Walter P, Senio (Chief, Programs Division) recommended 25208) (1) Peleted per 5 U.S.C, bee
the establishment of a Me @ment Review Panel (MRP} whose primary tasks would ce to examine mission obijec- tives and to recommend to the commander the organization 54 needed to achieve those obcrectives, 33 8 The MRP was established in December 1973 and, as one of its first actions, oroposed te Colonel Ventres a Management by Objectives (MBO) program which would dovetail with and complement the CIA's National Intelli- gence Officer (NiO} program, ee The first step in the M80 program was to identify those top priority intelligence targets {or “objectives") which were susceptible to human source collection meth- ods and against which the 7602d had a collection capa~ bility or potential. Review of the Joint Strategic Objectives Plan, the Defense Intelligence Requirements Manual, Key Intelligence Questions, National Intelli- gence Gaps, and other requirements documents resulted in the establishment of thirteen collection objectives. axe The second step was to select objectives coordina~ tors {OCs}, each of whom would become the expert for all activities associated with his assigned objective. The OCs would not be constrained by the group's func- tional organization and would report their progress to the commander, either directly or through the MRP. bent wt oe,

8 There were some forty or fifty observers assigned to the KCC. Nine were from the United States, and the remainder were from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belcium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Holland, treiand, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden. The KCC maintained two patrols facing the Egyptian Second Army, two facing the Egyptian Third Army, and three in the west bank "pocket" held by the Israeli Defense Force {IDF}. Each patrol consisted of two UN military observ- ers of different nationalities, and three IDF persennel+- @ liaison officer, a radio operator, and a driver. Each patrol assignment was for five days' duration. Se The observers were required to report all shooting incidents (whether seen or heard), all overflights, and all troop movements, and to maxe general situation reports. Where Egyptian positions could be seen, efforts were made to confirm that they were not being moved for- ward and that the Egyptians were not otherwise violating the ceasefire agreement. In some instances, the IDF permitted the UN observers only limited access to the front lines. An ostensible reason for this restriction was the safety of the observers who, to move along the Nelered per $ 1.5.0. $52(b) (1)
lines, had to travel on dirt roads and tracks subject to Mining by enemy infiltrators. Before reaching the front, some patrois were delaved for “clearance” by local IDF o commanders. Many observers reported these impediments to the United Nations. & Under the terms of a disengagement agreemant nego- tiated in mid-January, the IDF had to pull back to a point approximately 20 kilometers east of the Suez Canal. As the IDF withdrew, UNTSO patrols also were removed; by the second week in February, only two remained active. The United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) then moved in to occupy a 1ll0-mile~long buffer zone between the Israeli and Egyptian forces. The UNEF, an armed force, was charged with actual enforcement of the ceasefire.

Reporting statistics and evaluation profiles will be found in Aopendix 6.

Foreign Military Personnel Distinguished Visitors 8 In July 1973, Lt General Yao Chac-Ysan, the seputy Chief of General Staff/tatelligence, Ministry of National Defense, Republic of China, visited the United States as the quest of General Keegan {project 5907-07, THICKET). En voute to the United States, he also visited Hawaii as the quest of General Tighe. The Operations Services Branch {INOA} prepared the itinerary end agenda for the visit, in coordination with General Keegan's staff and the Foreign Liaison Division, Office of the Assistant Vice Chief of Staff (AF/CVAF). INOA also arranged for a luncheon and a dinner hosted by Generali Keegan in honor of General Yao. Lt Colonel Kim W. Ching, Chief of Pro- duction and Evaluation Division (INP), served as General Yao's escort officer in the CONUS. In addition to dis- cussions with General Keegan and a visit to the 7692d, General Yao also met with the Director, DIA: the Commander, NAVINTCOM; the ACSI, Department of the Army: the Assist~ ant Secretary of Defense, Intelligence: and the Deputy Undersecretary of the Air Force for International Affairs. ae General Keegan invited Maj General Takayuki Sakazaki, Chief of Intelligence, Japan Air Self befense Force, to visit the United ‘States in November 1973.

@ rnother problem was that, although the 7602 received microfilm cartridges of the $99th inputs to the OPDTA, it no longer received indexes to the contents of the car- tridges. When the OPDTA was first established, the $00th had no capability for microfilming its inputs. This service was 2erformed by PACAF, which reduced the $06th’s inputs to microfilm and forwarded the microfiims to the 7602da, along with commuterized indexes, The 590ts now has a microfilm capability, but that cavability does not include the crep:ration of computerized indexes.

The third of the three main objectives--the aovlication of lessons learned to possible future captivity exoeriences--is a new and imaginative aporoach without orecedent in the Air Force or the Department of Defense. Attainment of this objective will reguire innovative data processing methods and exvert analvtical technizues, esoecially in the social and behavioral sciences.

@ Special INXB "summer staffs* were augmented by ser- vices of a faculty member and three cadets of the US Air Force Academy. The Air Force Security Service also loaned an ogticer for summer staff work, in addition to providing verbatim transcripts of a11 HOMECOMING debriefings. Po] The backbone of the analysis program, however, was provided by 7602d-AFIS reservists (individual mobilization augmentees (IMAs)}. Through the cooperation of the AFIS Director of Intelligence Reserve Forces {AFIS/RE}, a cadre of five human source intelligence IMAs was made available to INXB on special tours of active duty. APIS/RE also made available a number of other reservists on special or regular (annual, two-week} tours of active duty. Many reservists worked on the project during anit training assemblies (UTAS); others assisted for point- gaining (non-pay} purposes.

CONTINGENCY PREPARATIONS a The 7602 AINTELG is tasked to provide human source collection support to departmental and Air Staff elements, USAF field commands, DIA, and unified and ssecified commands, in the event of contingencies or ceneral war. It also is called upon to exploit various peacetime col- lection opportunities with little or no a@vance notifica-~ tion. To discharge these responsibilities, the group for deploying maintains a quick reaction capability {QRC) an intelligence collection force on short notice. Personnel Selection od In the first quarter of F¥ 74, all active duty intei- ligence personnel assigned to group headquarters were asked to complete a questionnaire to provide information on their intelligence and other military training and experience, lanquage cavahbilities, and so forth. ‘With the completed forms, INOD established a file to be used in identifying personnel for quick reaction capability ord pex $ G.S.0. 382) dp the
(QRC} force training, exercise participation, and contin- gency deployment. Taking into consideration the fluctu-~ ations occasioned by tour rotations, the QRC roster listed 35 to 40 oermanent ocarty personnel at anv given time in FY 74. a Air Force intelligence reservists who are scheduled to augment the 7602d active duty force in contingency situations constitute part of the ORC force and partici- pate in peacetime training and exercises. Equioment & Lists of required personnel support equioment were prepared by INOD in May 1974 and submitted to the Materiel Section (SUM), along with the commander's approval to initiate procurement action, The reavested items included canteens, flashlights, and other persona: eauipment for individual team members; tents, cots, steves and other field equipment for deployed teams: and juro clothing, fargo chutes, and similar scecial items for airborne operations. SUM will request approoriate chances to the grouo’s table of allowances so that QRC neecs are terma- nently reflected in supely issue documents.
Training P| FY 74 training for the ORC force included small arms qualification, hand-held photography, and varachute pro~ ficiency. All members of the force qualified with the .38 caliber revolver and 28 qualified with the M-16 rifle. The tests were conducted by Andrews AFB range versonnel; facilities at Fort Meade, Maryland, were used, since the range at Andrews APB has been condemned because of proximity to the flight lines. PTD provided a two-week course in hand-held photography, successfully completed by 5 members in the third quarter and 17 members in the last quarter. Because of the fuel crisis in the winter of 1973-1974, the Ist Helicopter Squadron at Andrews AFB was forced to discontinue air- craft support for the monthiy parachute proficiency jumps for the QRC airborne unit. As an interim measure, until arrangements can be made with some other unit in the Washington area, INOD accepted an invitation to maxe proficiency jumos with the Rigger School at Fort Lee, Virginia. However, until the grouse again obtains dedicated aircraft supoert, the QRC force will be unable to make ecuioment jumos or provide jumomaster certification. ay In the third quarter of FY 74, the Aix Trainina command (ATC) aporoved a 7692d request for student quotas for two interrogation courses conducted bv the US Army 4t Camp MeCoy, Wisconsin, and Fort MacArthur, Californias, Three allocations were provided for each course. The training will be conducted in July 1974. Both courses will be of two weeks’ duration and both will be tailored mw
for aerospace personnel, The grouo drooved the previously used eight-week interrogation course at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, because of length of training time and lack of orientation towards Air Force requirements. Interrogation Exercises FLINTLOCK 73 @ This was an unconventional warfare exercise conducted by the Support Operations Task Force Eurone {SOTFE) in West Germany during the period 4-16 Seotember 1973. In the pre-exercise phase, Captain Andrew G. Porth (INXB} cresented two E&E briefings, including the one on "Cac- tivity in Southeast Asia, 1964-1973," to selected exer- cise participants. During the operational play, capt Porth was a member of the E&E network svecifically tasked with contacting and assisting friendly “evaders." Ye also participated in the debriefing phase. 2] Captain William B,. Wheeler (INOD), essisted by four 7602a reservists, constituted the “hostile” force's interrogation team. Their sources were eight “captured” aircrew and special forces personnel drawn from partici- pating Army, Navy, and Air Force units. Interrogation resulted in the acquisition of tactical information and information which compromised the ooposing force's escape and evasion networks. In addition, signed
fee propaganda statements were obtained from several of the interrocees. These results clearly pointed to the need for all-Service reemphasis on interrocation resistance training for personnel vulnerable to capture by hostile forces. SOLID SHIELD 74 @ The 7602€ vrovided four active duty versonnel and three reservists for interrogation play during CINCLANT Exercise SOLID SHIELD 74, held 28 May - 6 June at Catherine Lake, North Carolina. A total of 23 interro- gators served in the Joint Interrogation Center (JIC}-- i4 from the Arav, 3 from the Marine Corps, and 6 from the Air Force. The seventh Air Force member, Major Warren A. Uthe {ZNOD), acted as JIC commander. BRAVE CREW 74 2 Maior Martin E. Schiller and TSgt Clifton Gladnev, both from INOD, served in the Joint Interrogation Center during CINCREDCOM Exercise BRAVE CREW 74, held i0-19 June at Fort Hood, Texas. They interrogated twelve "enemy" Air Force personnel during the five-day devloy- ment phase of the exercise. Tentative plans for next year's BRAVE CREW exercise call for expanded 7602d interrogation suport.

(Page Eleven) 18 ABSTRACT Chapter 11 ~- Operational Intelligence This chapter provides an account of significant support activities in the current intelligence, target intelligence, and special intelligence research areas. Of particular interest is the description of improved intelligence informational support provided to the Air Force at large and the decision-related special interest situations briefed and otherwise described to the Chief of Staff and the Air Staff.
(Page Twelve) 20 Branch"). The former AFIS INOV was redesignated AFIS/INZB and retained the same graphic support function. {Excised} The mission of the Aerospace Intelligence Division was unchanged. The Division continued to provide signifi-~- can current intelligence support to the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff (CSAF), the Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans and Operations, the Assistant Chief of Staff Intelligence, and various other Air Staff elements. Some 2,253 briefing items were presented to Air Staff audiences during the period. The division also continued support of Major Air Commands and special units throughout the Air Force. A current intelligence message was dispatched daily to various headquarters addressees. EDITING, BRIEFING, AND CONTINUITY {Excised] The primary function of the Editing, Briefing, and Continuity Branch (AFIS ‘INZA’} was to prepare and present daily current intelligence briefing to the Chief of Staff, USAF, and senior Air Staff offices within Head~ quarters, USAF. [Excised] The branch performed preliminary intelligence analysis of fast-breaking situations. INZA also provided continuous reporting on world situations which could potentially affect USAF interests. Frequent reporting in the areas of weapons development and hardware acquisition was also emphasized.
{Page Thirteen) 21 {Excised] With the retirement of General John P. Ryan as CSAF in July, 1973, briefing requirements underwent numerous changes. The new CSAF, General George S. Brown, requested a weekly, rather than daily, formal intelligence briefing during the Air Council meeting each Wednesday. Daily inputs of perishable intelligence were provided to the ACS I who, in turn, passed the information to the Chief of Staff at his daily staff meeting. Overall, the actual number of briefings increased with emphasis on dissemina- tion to key Air Staff Deputates and Agencies with a need for information. The DCS/Plans & Operations, along with his entire staff, received a daily briefing. The Secretary of the Air Force and two Assistant Secretaries were added as weekly recipients of INZA briefings. Other key audiences included the DCS/Research & Development, BcS Systems & Logistics, ACS/Studies & Analysis, the Commander and Staff, Air Force Systems Command, and several sub-deputate groups such as the Director Military Asistance & Sales. An average of 18 briefings was presented weekly by the Branch. {Excised} The branch continued to provide alert officers who identified and acted upon significant intelligence data in the mass of incoming information. Alert officers provided the ACS/I’s 24~hour-per-day warning capability. During the Middle East and Cyprus crises, the Alert Oficers
(Page Fourteen) 26 {Excised} These briefings were also transmitted in message format to major commands and selected USAF elements worldwide. In addition, the team provided continuous support to the Air Force Operations Center and the contin~ gency support Staff, including a minimum of two updated intelligence briefings per day through 31 October. [Excised] As hostilities subsided on 24 October, the Task Force began preparing a detailed review of the war, including major phases of the conflict, tactics employed, losses incurred, and preliminary lessons learned pertinent to air operations. This briefing proved to be the most authoritative and comprehensive study of the war avaii- able to military and civilian decision makers in the Washington Area, and Was presented to the Secetary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff, and other senior Air Force officiais within a week after the cessation of hostilities. The presentation was continually updated as more information became available, and eventualiy included more than 460 graphics. It has since been presented by INZ personnel to over 25 different audiences, numbering some 1,600 personnel, including the commander and staffs of major commands such TAC, MAAC, SAC, ADC, and USAFE. Further- more, the script and graphics of this presentation were incerporated into a Mid-East War brochure prepared by the Middle Bast Task Force and provided te the Chief of Staff
for his use during the NATO Senior Airmen talks in December 1973.
(Page Fifteen) 33 and methodologies to analyze effects of air-delivered munitions on surface targets. Captain Puckett prepared and provided descriptions and studies on LORAN bombing, air eraft shelter vulnerability, and other subjects. Captain Puckett also assisted in the review of the draft JMEM basic manual which will serve as a primary reference docu- ment in non-nuclear weaponeering. fRest of the page excised}
{Page Sixteen) 39 {First half of page excised} Target conferences: Lt Col Theodorou and Captain Puckett attended Target Lintelligence Conferences in PACAF and USAFE. At PACAP, discusssion centered around the crea- tion of the CINCPAC Intelligence Center Pacific IPAC and what impact it would have on PACAF targeting. Colonel Stahmer, Assistant DCS/I, PACAF felt that PACAF would lose certain capabilities and would require increased support from AFIS. Required support would include: a. Analytical studies, such as that conducted by PACAF/INT on North Korean capabilities. b. Weapons development and allocation studies
(Page Seventeen) 40 based on detailed weaponeering analysis of potential and actual needs. ec. Studies examining future requirements in the areas of procedures, equipment, hardware systems, etc., which could impact on the targeting process. At USAFE, the purpose of the conference was te bring together for the first time the Target Officers of USAFE tactical units for: a cross talk; discussion of problems faced by unit level personnel; to meet the targets staff; and to participate in the re-write and updating of certain USAFE regulations and manuals which impact on unit level intelligence operations.é Attendance at these conferences afforded AFIS/INT an excellent opportunity to review targeting/weaponeering functions and procedures at the command and unit level. {excised} Target System Analysis: Captain Puckett developed concepts, computer programs and applications associated with target system analysis. Such analysis involved the use of mathematical models in the analysis of complex target systems, Examples of working computer models that were developed from earlier sources by Captain Puckett are the network model for the analysis of flow networks such as electric power systems and the expected utility model for the analysis of target systems with components which have a measurable utility. The models were incorporated into the Intelligence Targeting Officer Course at Lowry AFB. ~
