CHAPTER  2 
THE  UNIT  ORGANIZATION 
The  functional  guides  included  in  this  chapter  constitute  the  formal 
delegation  of  authority  fcy  the  Commanding  Officer  to  subordinates  of  his 
command. 
200.  THE  COMMANDING  OFFICER  (NISC-00) 
The  responsibilities  and  authority  of  the  Commanding  Officer  are  set  forth 
in  United  States  Navy  Regulations,  1973,  general  orders,  law,  customs, 
traditions  and  directives  from  higher  authority.  Stated  in  part  from 
Chapter  7  of  U.S.  Navy  Regulations: 
a.  The  responsibility  of  the  Commanding  Officer  for  his  command  is 
absolute,  except  when  and  to  the  extent,  relieved  therefrom  by  competent 
authority,  or  as  provided  otherwise  in  these  regulations.  The  authority  of 
the  Commanding  Officer  is  comensurate  with  his  responsibility.  While  he  may, 
at  his  discretion,  and  when  not  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  delegate 
authority  to  his  subordinates  for  the  execution  of  details,  such  delegation  of 
authority  shall  in  no  way  relieve  the  Commanding  Officer  of  his  continued 
responsibility  for  the  safety,  well-being,  and  efficiency  of  his  entire 
command. 
b.  A  Commanding  Officer  who  departs  from  his  orders  or  instructions,  or 
takes  official  action  which  is  not  in  accordance  with  such  orders  or 
instructions,  does  so  upon  his  own  responsibility  and  shall  report  immediately 
the  circumstances  to  the  officer  for  whom  the  prior  orders  or  instructions 
were  received. 
c.  The  Commanding  Officer  shall  be  responsible  for  economy  within  his 
command.  To  this  end  lie  shall  require  from  his  subordinates  a  rigid 
compliance  with  the  regulations  governing  the  receipt,  accounting,  and 
expenditure  of  public  money  and  materials,  and  the  implementation  of  improved 
management  techniques  and  procedures. 
d.  The  Commanding  Officer  and  his  subordinates  shall  exercise  leadership 
through  personal  example,  moral  responsibility,  and  judicious  attention  to  the 
welfare  of  persons  under  their  control  or  supervision.  Such  leadership  shall 
be  exercised  in  order  to  achieve  a  positive,  dominant  influence  on  the 
performance  of  persons  in  the  Department  of  the  Navy. 
e.  The  Commanding  Officer  shall  keep  the  Executive  Officer  informed  of 
his  policies  and  normally  shall  issue  all  orders  relative  to  the  duties  of  the 
command  through  that  officer.  Normally,  the  Commanding  Officer  shall  require 
that  all  communications  of  an  official  nature  from  subordinates  to  the 
Commanding  Officer  be  transmitted  through  the  Executive  Officer. 
200.1  Commanding  Officer  Equal  Opportunity  Policy  Statement: 
a.  Equal  opportunity  is  an  essential  element  of  good  leadership  which 
must  exist  at  every  level  of  the  chain  of  command.  The  achievement  of  equal 
opportunity  has  direct  impact  on  attaining  and  maintaining  a  high  state  of 
2-1
NISCINST  3120. 1A 
i  r  ••-■  1985 
morale,  discipline  and  military  effectiveness.  As  such,  discrimination 
basedon  race,  sex,  creed,  age,  religion,  or  national  origin  is  unacceptable 
behavior  which  will  not  be  tolerated  within  the  Navy  environment. 
b.  Personnel  at  all  levels  are  required  to  be  knowledgeable  of  the 
principles  of  equal  opportunity  and  demonstrate  a  personal  commitment  in 
carrying  them  out  in  practice. 
c.  Support  of  Equal  Opportunity  program  components  (i.e.,  MPs,  CAPs,  EO, 
Training,  HRCs,  EOQs)  are  all  positive  command  management  tools  which  directly 
contribute  to  a  healthy  command  climate.  This  support  is  expected  for  all 
members  of  this  command  to  ensure  equality  of  opportunity  and  treatment  for 
all  throughout  NISC. 
d.  In  addition  to  my  equal  opportunity  policy  statement,  NISC  Instruction 
5354. 1A  delineates  the  NISC  Affirmative  Action  Plan  for  military  personnel. 
201.  THE  EXECUTIVE  OFFICER  (NISC-01)

administration  of  the  command  as  a  whole,  including  matters  pertaining  to  the 
morale,  discipline,  training,  welfare,  work,  recreation,  safety,  rights  and 
privileges  of  individuals  within  the  command.  U.S.  Navy  Regulations,  1973, 
Chapter  8,  sets  forth  the  precedence  of  the  Executive  Officer  as  follows: 
a.  The  Executive  Officer,  while  in  the  execution  of  his  duties  as  such,

BOARDS,  GROUPS,  AND  COMMITTEES 
300.  BOARDS,  GROUPS,  AND  COMMITTEES 
A  board,  group,  or  committee  is  an  assembly  of  persons  formally  organized 
under  a  president,  chairman,  or  senior  member  to  deliberate  and  evaluate  a 
problem  or  situation  and  make  recommendations  to  proper  authorities  for  its 
solution  or  improvement;  sit  as  a  judicial  body;  or  sit  for  other  purposes  as 
directed  in  the  order  establishing  the  board  or  committee.  They  are  policy 
working  groups  and  should  not  normally  be  assigned  functions  requiring 
supervision  or  direction. 
Officers  and,  in  some  cases,  enlisted  personnel  and  civilian  employees  are 
assigned  to  boards  and  committees  as  a  collateral  duty  by  the  Commanding 
Officer  or  Executive  Officer,  and  notification  of  such  assignments  will 
normally  be  effected  by  publication  in  a  NISC  notice.  Any  limits  or  special 
conditions  governing  the  performance  of  the  duties  assigned  will  normally  be 
set  forth  in  a  formal  letter  to  members  of  the  board  or  committee. 
301.  AWARDS  BOARD 
The  Awards  Board  will  be  responsible  for  assisting  the  Commanding  Officer 
in  evaluation  of  recommendations  for  awards  to  personnel  serving  under  his 
jurisdiction  and  to  ensure  compliance  with  all  directives  of  higher  authority 
pertaining  to  all  awards.  In  addition,  the  Awards  Board  is  responsible  to  the 
Commanding  Officer  for  implementing  a  system  (within  the  guidelines  of  higher 
authority)  to  recommend  approval  or  disapproval  and  amounts  of  awards  to  be 
paid  by  the  Navy  Incentive  Awards  Program. 
a.  The  board  will  be  composed  of  two  or  more  officers  designated  by  the 
Commanding  Officer,  one  of  whom  will  be  disignated  as  the  incentive  awards 
officer. 
b.  The  Awards  Board  will  be  responsible  for: 
(1)  Inquiring  into  and  analyzing  all  recommendations  for  formal  or 
informal  awards  which  originate  onboard  NISC  or  which  the  Commanding  Officer 
is  required  to  review. 
(2)  Ensuring  that  the  acts  or  services  described  in  the 
recommendation  fulfill  all  requirements  of  pertinent  directives  from  higher 
authority  concerning  awards. 
(3)  Submitting  each  recommendation  in  proper  form  and  with 
appropriate  comment  to  the  Commanding  Officer  for  his  consideration. 
(4)  Developing  a  system  of  review  and  making  recommendations  for  cash 
awards,  as  appropriate,  concerning  suggestions,  inventions,  or  scientific 
achievement  by  members  of  the  command  who  contribute  to  the  Armed  Forces. 
c.  The  incentive  awards  officer  will  be  a  non-voting  member  of  the  board 
(except  in  cases  of  a  tie  vote).  He  will  present  incentive  award 
3-1

302.  CLAIMS  INVESTIGATION  BOARD 
The  Claims  Investigation  Board  will  investigate  every  incident  referred  to 
the  board  which  may  result  in  claims  against  or  in  favor  of  the  United  States 
Government . 
The  board  will  normally  be  composed  of  only  the  NISC  legal  officer  who 
shall  be  designated  the  investigating  officer.  Additional  members  nay  Tjg 
assigned,  each  with  all  the  same  powers  as  the  investigating  officer,  except, 
that  the  assistants  will  be  under  the  general  supervision  of  the  investigating 
officer  who  shall  be  considered  to  be  the  senior  member  of  the  board. 
The  board  will: 
a.  Consider  all  information  and  evidence  obtained  as  a  result  of  any 
previous  investigation. 
b.  Conduct  such  further  investigations  of  the  matters  referred  to  the 
board  as  may  be  necessary  to  obtain  a  fair  and  impartial  appraisal  covering 
all  phases  of  the  matter  to  the  end  that  a  comprehensive,  accurate,  and 
unbiased  report  on  the  matter  can  be  made  to  the  Commanding  Officer  or  to 
higher  authority  for  any  action  that  may  be  required  by  the  circumstances  of 
the  case. 
Reference:  JAG  Manual. 
303.  NFIB  COMMITTEES  AND  WORKING  GROUP  MEMBERS 
Members  of  UFIB  committees,  sub-committees  and  working  groups  are  selected 
because  of  their  experience  and  expertise  to  represent  the  Navy  as  well  as 
NISC.  They  are  representatives  of  all  naval  intelligence,  i.e.,  NISC,  NIC, 
etc.,  during  their  meetings  and  will  act  as  the  point  of  contact  between  Navy 
elements  and  other  members  of  their  respective  committees.  The  DNI  requires 
that  positions  taken  by  ONI  members  on  UFIB  groups  be  identified  for  him  and 
members  of  his  staff  as  rapidly  as  possible  following  committee  meetings. 
A  minimum  number  of  NISC  personnel  should  normally  attend  a  DCI  sponsored 
meeting. 
In  this  regard,  NISC  personnel  who: 
a.  Attend  committee  meetings  as  principals  will  provide  a  short  Memorandum 
for  the  Record  (MFR)  after  each  meeting  which  summarizes  the  topics  discussed, 
actions  assigned  and  taken,  etc.  This  MFR  will  be  addressed  to  the  DNI, 
3-2
NISCINST  3120. 1A 
"i  "  «"■•  •   1^  f 
attention  OP-009Z  ara  OP-00942.  When  appropriate,  the  MFR  will  provide 
recommendations  to  which  DNI  can  concur /non-concur  or  request  that  the  member 
meet  with  him  to  discuss  the  issue.  MFRs  will  be  concurrently  distributed  to: 
(1)  the  Commanding  Offier,  Executive  Officer,  and  Technical  Director;  (2)  to 
appropriate  department  heads;  and  (3)  to  COMNAVINTCOM.  MFRs  may,  in  some 
cases,  be  used  to  forward  only  the  minutes  of  the  committee  meeting.  Keep  the 
chain  of  command  informed  1 
b.  Attend  sub-oommittees/working  groups  as  principals  will  provide  a  MFR 
to  the  applicable  Navy  committee  member  (or  sub-committee  member  as 
appropriate),  who  will  determine  whether  it  should  be  further  routed  to  the 
DNI/009Z.  MFRs  will  be  distributed  simultaneously  to  cognizant  department 
heads. 
Members  and  alternates  are  responsible  for  keeping  their  department  heads 
aware  of  the  action/deliberations  of  their  various  committees/sub-committees 
and  for  obtaining  their  preliminary  approval  for  all  member  actions  and 
tasking  resulting  from  participation  in  oommittee/sub-oommittee  deliberations. 
Members/alternates  are  not  expected  to  be  either  the  authority  or  to  have 
the  answer  to  all  issues  addressed  by  a  oommittee/sub-comniittee/working 
group.  In  cases  where  they  are  not  the  expert,  they  should  defer  action  and 
bring  in  other  Navy  assets  as  required  to  address  the  particular  topic  at 
hand.  Following  all  coordination,  deliberation  and  guidance,  the  member's 
position  will  be  provided  to  the  oommittee/sub-oommittee  as  representing  the 
position  of  his  principal,  the  Director  of  Naval  Intelligence. 
Members  will  not  take  on  significant  tasking  without  first  determining  the 
impact  on  naval  intelligence  assets.  No  major  tasks/issues  will  be  taken  on 
by  NISC  personnel  without  the  approval  of  the  Commanding  Officer.  If 
accepted,  tasking  will  be  done  by  the  member  through  established  channels  and 
fully  supported  by  NISC  assets.  Other  naval  intelligence  assets  should  also 
be  tasked  for  support  as  required. 
304.  CONTRACT  AND  EXECUTION  REVIEW  BOARD 
The  use  of  external  assistance  to  support  intelligence  production  has 
grown  significantly  over  the  last  few  years.  At  the  same  time  the  guidance, 
from  both  a  legal  and  procedural  perspective,  has  become  increasingly  complex 
and  restrictive.  Present  policies  discourage  the  use  c?  sole  source 
procurement.  Although  there  are  numerous  difficulties  associated  with 
competitive  procurements,  significant  improvements  of  our  position  can  be  made 
by  targeting  specific  ongoing  tasks  for  competition.  Since  past  contracting 
information  is  important  for  projections  and  the  identification  of  problem 
areas,  this  command  must  also  collect,  analyze  and  maintain  adequate  records. 
To  ensure  awareness  of  Department  of  the  Navy  contracting  policies  and 
promote  the  use  of  competition  for  external  assistance  procurements,  the 
Contract  and  Execution  Review  Board  (CERB)  was  established.  The  Technical 
Director  is  the  Chairman  of  the  Board.  Other  members  may  be  appointed  as 
necessary.  All  purchase  requests  for  external  assistance,  including  the 
3-3

transfer  of  funds  to  government  laboratories,  shall  be  reviewed  by  the  Board 
prior  to  submission  to  the  Commanding  Officer  or  transfer  of  funds.  All 
sources  of  funds,  both  programmed  and  reimbursable,  are  included. 
305.  SCIENTIFIC  AND  TECHNICAL  INTELLIGENCE  DATA  BASE  ADVISORY  GROUP 
The  command  currently  has  a  myriad  of  in-house  data  bases  that  are  used  to 
support  the  intelligence  analytical  and  production  process.   Included  are  the 
Multi-User  Intelligence  Data  Acquisition  System  (MIDAS),  the  Central 
Electromagnetic  Data  Library  (CEDL),  the  command  Position  Data  Base  (CPDB), 
and  various  acoustic,  imagery  and  management  data  bases.  The  utility, 
currency,  interoperability  of  and  resources  devoted  to  these  data  bases  varies 
widely.  The  command  also  has  long-standing  or  potential  requirements  to 
provide  scientific  and  technical  data  base  inputs  in  support  of  Naval 
Intelligence  Processing  System  (NIPS),  the  TACTICAL  Flag  Command  Center  (TFCC), 
the  Ocean  Surveillance  Information  System  (OSIS),  and  the  Naval  Warfare 
Integrated  Simulation  System  (NWISS).   Ideally,  analysts  should  input 
scientific  and  technical  information  only  one  time  and  the  information  could 
then  be  used  by  all  consumers,  both  internal  and  external  to  the  command. 
The  Scientific  and  Technical  Intelligence  Data  Base  Advisory  Group, 
chaired  by  NISC-COW  and  composed  of  members  from  NISC-000,  NISC-50,  and 
NISC-30,  is  established  to  correct  data  base  deficiencies,  sort  out 
conflicting  data  base  requirements,  and  provide  the  senior  decision-making 
levels  within  the  command  with  recommended  courses  of  action  relative  to  data 
base  management .  The  Advisory  Group  will  meet  as  necessary,  but  at  least 
quarterly.  All  departments  will  support  the  Advisory  Group  with  briefings  and 
back-up  material  as  required. 
306.  NISC  BENEFIT  ASSOCIATION 
The  NISC  Benefit  Association  (NBA)  is  established  as  a  non-profit 
organization  to  maintain  a  benevolent,  social  and  recreational  organization 
for  the  benefit  of  its  members.  The  NBA  will  hold  annual  elections  for 
officers  (president,  vice-president,  secretary  and  treasurer).  These  elected 
officials  shall  transact  all  NBA  business,  and  make  and  amend  rules  and 
regulations  concerning  the  use  of  NBA  monies.  Membership  is  composed  of  every 
NISC  employee.  Revenue  for  NBA  activities  is  derived  from  profits  realized 
from  designated  beverage  machines  located  within  the  command. 
307.  EQUAL  EMPLOYMENT  OPPORTUNITY  (EEO)  COMMITTEE 
The  Equal  Employment  Opportunity  Committee  acts  as  an  advisory  grouo  to 
the  Commanding  Officer  in  all  matters  relating  to  the  functions  assigned  to 
the  committee.  The  committee  membership  will  be  in  so  far  as  possible, 
representative  of  the  minority,  majority,  male,  female,  age,  handicapped,  and 
grade  level  distribution  of  NISC  employees.  Department  and  staff  element 
heads,  in  collaboration  with  the  committee  chairperson,  will  ensure  that  their 
committee  appointees  satisfy  this  distribution  criteria.  Committee 
appointments  will  be  made  in  writing  with  a  copy  to  the  committee  chairperson 
and  Deputy  Equal  Employment  Opportunity  Officer.  The  committee  will  establish 
its  own  organization  consistent  with  its  role  as  a  participant  in  the  NISC  EEO

CHAPTER  4  '•-■•'<* 
TASKING  AND  PRODUCTION 
400.  CONCEPT  OF  NISC  PRODUCTS 
The  concept  of  NISC's  production  effort  is  to  provide  the  highest  quality 
intelligence  products  to  consumers  in  accordance  with  the  following 
four -echelon  plan: 
First  Echelon    Weekly  Wire  (Part  I),  ACINT  Newsletter 
Second  Echelon    Periodicals  -  NAVSTIR,  CNO  Point  Papers,  Missile 
Matrix,  Briefings 
Third  Echelon     NITs,  NITAs,  FMERs,  BIIRs 
Fourth  Echelon    Scheduled  DIA  Products,  NWPs,  Threat  Assessments 
First  Echelon  products  are  intended  as  the  initial  notification  to 
consumers  of  new  developments.  Second  Echelon  products  (except  for  the 
NAVSTIR),  are  to  be  succint,  comprehensive  updates  of  threat  characteristics. 
The  NAVSTIR  provides  the  vehicle  for  initial  dissemination  of 
photographs/graphics.  Third  Echelon  products  provide  for  the  dissemination  of 
Navy  assessments  and  technical/analytical  observations,  normally  on  a 
non-recurring  basis.  Fourth  Echelon  products  serve  as  comprehensive  reference 
documents  which  should  incorporate,  when  appropriate,  information  previously 
disseminated  in  other  echelon  products. 
The  Production  Review  Coordinator,  under  the  guidance  of  the  Production 
Review  Group  (PRG),  will  provide  oversight  to  this  effort.  Recommendations 
for  new  products  should  be  submitted  to  the  PRG  through  the  Production  Review 
Coordinator  prior  to  commencing  draft  production. 
401.  OVERALL  PRODUCTION  GUIDELINES 
a.  NISC  routinely  produces  Weekly  Wires  and  publications  on  substantive 
intelligence  which  require  interdepartmental  input  and  coordination. 
Comprehensive  research  and,  in  many  cases,  detailed  analysis  of  a  scientific 
and  technical  nature  is  often  required.  In  order  to  foster  interdepartmental 
cooperation  and  coordination,  it  is  NISC  policy  that  when  a  support  analyst 
has  contributed  20%  or  more  of  the  analysis  and  text,  he/she  shall  be 
considered  a  co-author.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  lead  department  to 
ensure  that  support  analysts  receive  recognition  for  their  contributions. 
b.  Scientific  and  technical  intelligence  products  of  this  command  consist 
of  various  studies,  trend  analyses,  reports,  handbooks,  and  periodicals 
designed  to  satisfy  consumer  requirements  for  intelligence  on  foreign 
developments  of  naval  interest.  The  Defense  Intelligence  Agency  levies  the 
tasks  for  most  of  these  products,  sets  mutually  agreed  upon  deadlines,  and 
determines  the  format  and  review  procedures  to  be  followed  during  the 
production  process. 
c.  NIsC-60  and  the  responsible  production  department  should  ensure  that 
NISC  products  contain  both  U.S.  and  metric  units  of  measure,  change  bars  where 
appropriate,  validation  date  and  statements  on  nonrecurring  hard  copy 
products,  distribution  lists,  tabs  as  required,  and  three-ring  binder  holes 
(for  Second  and  Third  Echelon  products.)  Products  should  be  stapled  or  bound 
4-1
Wire  item  to  which  it  refers.  By  completing  that  form,  pargraph  2. a.  enables 
the  analyst  to  submit  the  reasons  for  his  non-disclosure  recommendation,  and 
paragraph  2.b.  removes  the  requirement  for  the  analyi-t  to  make  determinations 
for  which  he  is  not  adequately  informed.  Numerous  exchange  agreements,  qn?d 
pro  quo  arrangements,  etc.,  exist  which  are  unknown  at  the  NISC  analytic?' 
level.  By  checking  the  item  as  releasable,  the  disclosure  decision  becomes  a 
NIC-03/CMD-OP-009P  responsibility.  No  further  inquiries  need  be  directed  to 
the  originating  analyst.  Paragraph  4  enables  the  analyst  to  make  his  own 
recommendat  ion . 
(9)  Submission:  Items  for  the  SECRET  version  and  codeword 
supplements  (if  any)  of  the  Weekly  Wire  Part  I,  prepared  in  accordance  with 
the  format  for  Weekly  Wire  submissions,  will  be  submitted  to  NISC-OOW  prior  to 
close  of  business  each  Friday.  Each  line  department  is  expected  to  submit 
Weekly  Wire  articles  each  week.  In  addition,  NISC-OOW  will  periodically 
initiate  inter-departmental  tasking  apprising  line  departments  of  significant 
topics  meriting  Weekly  Wire  articles. 
(10)  Preparation:  Upon  receipt  of  proposed  Weekly  Wire  articles, 
NISC-OOW  will  conduct  editorial  review  and  revision  to  ensure  the  conpleteness 
of  content,  quality  of  analytical  presentation,  uniformity  of  format  and 
consistency  of  style  required  to  ensure  excellence  for  the  Weekly  Wire.  A 
draft  of  each  article  will  be  prepared  in  accordance  with  this  instruction. 
Copies  of  these  articles  will  be  provided  to  each  department  head,  the 
Technical  Director,  the  Operations  Officer,  and  the  Consolidated  Security 
Office  by  0900  each  Tuesday.  Any  further  actions  concerning  articles  which 
are  directed  as  a  result  of  a  Staff  Meeting  must  be  accomplished  directly 
following  the  meeting  in  order  that  the  Weekly  Wire  can  be  prepared  for 
release. 
(11)  Release:  The  final  message  version  of  the  Weekly  Wire  Part  I 
and  supplements  will  be  prepared  by  NISC-OOW  as  prescribed  by  the  Department 
of  the  Navy  Telecommunications  Users  Manual  (NTP-3(E))  and  by  the 
communications  organizations  to  which  they  will  be  submitted  for 
transmission.  The  final  copies  will  be  submitted  to  NISC-OOW,  the  Technical 
Director  and  Executive  Officer  for  review  in  time  to  reach  the  Commanding 
Officer  for  release  by  1600  each  Wednesday.  In  the  absence  of  the  Commanding 
Officer  the  Executive  Officer  or  his  designee  will  release  the  message. 
(12)  Addressee  List:  The  addressee  list  of  the  Weekly  Wire 
constitutes  Address  Indicator  Groups  (AIG)  157,  176  and  6853.  NISC-OOW  is 
responsible  for  all  administrative  management  actions  necessary  to  ensure  the 
accuracy  and  appropriate  use  of  the  AIG' s.  The  following  actions  will  be 
taken  by  NISC-OOW  as  required  by  and  in  accordance  with  Department  of  the  Navy 
Telecommunications  Users  Manual  (NTP-3(E)):  (1)  periodic  reivew  of  AIGs  157, 
176  and  6853  to  confirm  a  contir.uing  requirement  and  current  address 
composition;  (2)  preparation  of  modifications,  cancellations  or 
recapitulations  of  AIGs  157,  176  and  6853.

402.3  NAVY  SCIENTIFIC  AND  TECHNICAL  INTELLIGENCE  REVIEW  (NAVSTIR) 
a.  DIA  Task  PT-2660-01-O2L  of  31  January  1979  authorizes  NISC  to  publish 
a  monthly  periodical  covering  foreign  scientific  and  technical  developments 
which  affect  the  combat  potential  of  foreign  navies,  their  support  facilities 
and  their  R&D  communities. 
b.  The  Scientific  and  Technical  Intelligence  Review  (NAVSTIR)  is 
published  on  a  monthly  basis.  It  is  designed  to  provide  timely  scientific  and 
technical  information  to  U.S.  Navy  operating  forces  and  staff  elements,  other 
services,  DOD  components,  and  national  level  executives  on  naval  intelligence 
topics  of  interest.  It  is  intended  to  report  the  results  of  completed 
intelligence  analyses  performed  by  NISC  in  greater  detail  and  in  a  more  timely 
manner  than  is  possible  through  other  NISC-produced  intelligence  documents. 
c.  The  Technical  Services  Department  (NISC-60)  is  designated  as  the  NISC 
element  responsible  for  overall  integration  and  production  management  of  the 
NAVSTIR.  NISC-60  will  designate  an  editor  for  the  NAVSTIR  who  will: 
(1)  Provide  recommendations  to  the  NISC  line  departments  concerning 
subjects  suitable  for  preparation  as  NAVSTIR  articles. 
(2)  Provide  guidance  to  the  line  departments  and  staff  elements  on 
all  aspects  of  preparing  articles  for  the  NAVSTIR. 
(3)  Develop  and  coordinate  the  editorial  and  production  schedules  for 
the  magazine. 
(4)  Review  articles  for  compliance  with  established  criteria.  In 
this  review  process,  editing  will  be  done,  and  significant  revisions  will  be 
coordinated  with  the  author  prior  to  publication.  The  articles  will  basically 
remain  the  input  of  the  author (s). 
(5)  Provide  copies  of  draft  articles  for  review  by  the  Commanding 
Officer,  Executive  Officer,  Technical  Director,  Office  of  Naval  Warfare 
Capabilities  Head,  and  any  other  department  with  subject  cognizance.

(6)  Provide  recommendations  concerning  composition /layout  to 
NISC-652.  Review  and  approve  NAVSTIR  camera  ^opy  prior  to  the  official 
command  review  and  approval,  and  again  before  final  printing  and  distribution. 
d.  The  Undersea  Warfare  Technology  Department  (NISC-20),  Naval  System 
Department  (NISC-30),  Naval  Weapons  Technology  Department  (NISC-40), 
Electromagnetic  Systems  Department  (NISC-50),  and  Imagery  Analysis  Department 
(NISC-70)  and  the  staff  elements  will  be  responsible  for  submitting  articles 
for  publication  in  accordance  with  the  following  guidelines. 
(1)  Articles  submitted  for  publication,  whether  developed  by 
departmental  initiative  or  in  response  to  a  recommendation,  can  be  of  two 
types:  a  comprehensive  presentation  of  a  topic  or  a  brief  highlight  of  an 
event  or  item.  The  comprehensive  feature  articles  should  have  a  wide  audience 
appeal,  address  the  topic  in  considerable  detail,  and  present  conclusions  or 
highlight  the  implications  that  the  topic  might  have  to  the  U.S.  Navy's 
mission.  Articles  submitted  for  inclusion  in  the  Intelligence  Briefs  section 
should  highlight  narrow  topics,  which  are  best  conveyed  by  photographs  or 
graphics.  All  articles  should  be  written  in  a  clear,  logical  manner. 
(2)  All  articles  will  be  released  by  the  department  head  for 
publication  in  the  NAVSTIR  and  be  double-spaced  typed  copy.  It  is  preferred 
that  the  article  be  typed  on  a  WANG  terminal  and  that  the  tape  be  forwarded 
with  the  article  to  the  NAVSTIR  editor. 
(3)  All  articles  will  have  a  "NAVSTIR  Classification  History  and 
Foreign  Disclosure  Recommendation"  form  included  in  the  manuscript.  The  form 
will  be  forwarded  to  NIC-03F4  as  a  guideline  fcr  foreign  release  of  NAVSTIR 
articles. 
(4)  All  graphic  materials  (photographs,  graphs,  and  drawings)  are  to 
be  appropriately  mounted,  classified,  captioned  and  annotated  as  appropriate. 
(5)  All  articles  should  have  the  name  and  division  code  of  the 
author (s) . 
(6)  No  article  may  be  classified  higher  than  SECRET,  although  most 
caveated  material  can  be  accepted.  Each  paragraph  of  the  article  must  be 
properly  classified  and  caveated.  The  source  and  classification  of  all 
graphics  must  be  identified. 
(7)  Articles  may  be  submitted  to  the  NAVSTIR  editor  at  any  time, 
however,  publication  will  depend  on  the  backlog  of  articles  in  process  and  the 
time  sensitivity/priority  of  the  submitted  article. 
e.  The  NAVSTIR  will  contain  a  section  entitled  "Naval  Intelligence 
Support  Center  Products."  NISC  produces  many  documents  containing 
intelligence  data  of  high  interest  to  consumers  who  are  not  necessarily 
included  in  the  distribution  list  of  the  NAVSTIR.  Some  of  those  products  are 
on  the  DIA  S&T  Production  Schedule,  others  are  unscheduled  and  unpublicized. 
To  insure  adequate  consumer  notification  of  significant  production,  both 
scheduled  and  unscheduled,  the  following  actions  are  required:

402.5  NAVAL  INTELLIGENCE  TECHNICAL  SUMMARY  (NITS) 
a.  The  NITS  provide  an  informal  means  of  disseminating  discrete  analyses 
or  bodies  of  technical  data  -  generally  of  interest  to  only  a  limited  number 
of  customers.  Subjects  range  from  handbooks  and  data  ampendiums  to  briefing 
notes.  NITS  are  products  of  analyst  initiative  and  credit  for  authorship  is 
noted  on  the  cover.  However,  there  will  be  no  acknowledgement  that  contractor 
assistance  was  involved. 
b   NITS  may  be  produced  on  a  non-shceduled  basis  by  a  Department  with 
editorial/composition/layout  assistance  from  NISC-60.  The  format  is  flexible 
depending  largely  upon  the  nature  of  the  material  contained.  As  a  minimum  the

402.7  SCHEDULED  DIA  PRODUCTS 
The  following  paragraphs  set  forth  guidelines  to  be  used  in  the  S&T 
production  program  to  ensure  that  standard  procedures  are  followed. 
a.  Prior  to  the  beginning  of  each  fiscal  year,  DIA  submits  a  proposed 
annual  S&T  intelligence  production  schedule  to  the  Military  Services  for 
review  and  comment.  Based  on  an  appraisal  of  resources  available  for  the 
coming  fiscal  year,  as  compared  with  tasks  assigned  and  anticipated,  the 
Services  respond  to  the  proposed  schedule  with  recommended  modifications. 
Subsequently,  a  firm  schedule  is  promulgated  by  DIA  for  implementation  by  the 
Service  S&T  intelligence  production  agencies.  This  schedule  delineates  those 
tasks  for  which  NISC  is  prime  producer  as  well  as  those  of  other  agencies 
which  are  to  receive  NISC  support. 
b.  Upon  receipt  of  the  annual  S&T  intelligence  production  schedule  by 
this  command,  the  Production  and  Tasking  Division  (NISC-0001)  will,  after 
consultation  with  all  departments  and  the  Commanding  Officer,  and  if 
necessary,  DIA,  promulgate  a  detailed  listing  of  tasks  to  be  accomplished  by 
each  department  and  the  production  milestones  to  be  met.  The  department  with 
primary  production  responsibility  will  be  designated  on  the  basis  of  assigned 
missions  and  functions.  However,  the  Office  of  Naval  Warfare  Capabilities 
(NISC-COW)  will  review  all  products,  except  NITs,  for  consistency  and  adequacy 
of  command  position. 
(1)  Preparation  of  manuscript: 
(a)  The  primary  (lead)  department  will  appoint  a  project  monitor 
for  each  production  task  assigned  on  the  schedule.  This  individual  will  be 
responsible,  under  the  department  head,  for  those  functions  of  the  production 
cycle  which  involve  all  coordination  and  integration  steps  (beginning  with  the 
preparation  of  internal  tasking  and  external  data  calls),  tie  assembly  of  the 
integrated  draft,  routing  for  review  and  chop,  and  final  incorporation  of  all 
required  changes.  At  the  time  that  the  draft  is  sent  to  DIA  for  review,  a 
proposed  distribution  list  and  required  DIA  Form  447  will  be  prepared  and 
submitted  to  NISC-0001.  Close  liaison  will  be  effected  with  the  departmental 
editor  and  the  DIA  sub-element  monitor  at  the  beginning  of  the  draft  assembly 
process.  The  project  monitor  will  be  required  to  coordinate  and  know  at  all 
times  the  status  of  each  assigned  task  until  it  leaves  the  lead  department  for 
publication.  The  project  monitor  will  advise  NISC-0001  of  the  anticipated 
draft  delivery  date  to  DIA  so  that  suitable  notation  may  be  made  in  the  Weekly 
Wire,  Part  2,  forty-five  days  in  advance  of  delivery. 
(b)  Questions  concerning  editorial  and  printing  procedures,  for 
purpose  of  standardization  and  adherence  to  DIAM  75-1,  will  be  adjudicated  by 
the  Technical  Services  Department  (NISC-60)  through  the  editorial  staff 
collocated  in  each  department.  The  editorial  staff  will  be  responsible  for 
the  editorial  arts  aspect  of  a  publication  while  the  technical  content  will  be 
the  primary  department's  responsiblity.  The  technical  editor  will  be 
responsible  for  editing  and/or  re-writing  the  manuscript  so  as  to  achieve 
effective  communication  with  the  intended  audience  and  for  the  final  review  of 
the  camera  copy  prior  to  its  release  from  the  department.  The  editorial 
assistant  will  be  responsible  to  the  editors  for  format  guidance  of  typists 
4-13
NISCINST  3120. 1A 
I  ;  MOV  1935 
engaged  in  the  publication's  effort,  word  processor  run-off,  ard  simultaneous 
insertion  of  illustrations  and  oaptions,  and  the  production  of  camera  copy. 
The  training  of  typists  engaged  in  the  operation  of  the  Center's  word 
processors  will  be  the  responsibility  of  NISC-60. 
(c)  All  products  will  be  typed  in  proper  format  using  command 
word  processing  equipment,  preferably  WANG.  The  clerical  personnel  will  be 
under  the  supervision  of  NISC-60.  Camera  copy  will  be  composed  and  layed  out 
by  NISC-60  using  inputs  furnished  by  the  departmental  editorial  assistants. 
In  those  cases  where  it  is  necessary  to  use  external  assistance  for  the 
production  of  camera  ready  copy,  the  contract  for  the  work  performance  will  be 
administered  by  NISC-60  and  shall  require,  as  part  of  the  deliverable  item, 
that  the  manuscript  be  provided  in  a  magnetic  medium  suitable  for  storage  and 
retrieval  in  the  NISC  automated  text  editing  system.  The  number  of  copies  to 
be  printed  will  be  verified  by  NISC-60  prior  to  printing. 
(d)  Acquisition,  maintenance,  repair  and  modification  of  word 
processing  equipment  used  by  NISC-60  in  the  production  of  NISC  publications 
will  be  the  joint  responsibility  of  NISC-60  and  the  Management  Information 
Division  (NISC-0003) . 
(e)  Departments  will  submit  completed  draft  products  to 
NISC-0001  who  will  forward  them  to  DIA  (DT)  for  review  and  approval  in 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Chapter  9  of  DIAM  75-1.  Prior  to  DIA 
review,  the  draft  product  will  be  submitted  for  command  review,  covered  by 
NISC  Publications  Routing  Sheet.  Responsibility  for  determining  the 
inter-departmental  chop  list  rests  with  the  primary  department.  As  a  minimum, 
all  contributing  departments,  CSO  and  NISC-COW  will  be  placed  on  the 
review/chop  list.  Upon  incorporation  of  DIA's  comments,  as  appropriate,  the 
product  will  be  forwarded  to  NISC-60  for  camera  copy  preparation,  printing  and 
dissemination.  When  page  numbers  have  been  established,  the  project  monitor 
will  prepare  and  submit  to  NISC-0001  a  DIA  Form  118  (Releasability  Statement) 
for  forwarding  to  DIA.  An  Abstract  of  Significant  Production  form  for  the 
product  will  also  be  submitted  at  this  time  for  inclusion  in  the  NAVSTIR. 
(2)  Review  and  approval: 
(a)  For  purposes  of  DIA  review,  S&T  intelligence  publications  are 
placed  in  one  of  two  groups? 
JL.  Group  I  products  must  be  submitted  formally  to  DIA 
(DT-3)  for  review  and  approval  by  sub-element  monitors. 
2.     Group  II  products  must  be  reviewed  by  DIA  but  are 
published  with  departmental  (Service)  approval. 
(b)  Responsibility  for  approval  of  Group  II  products  has  been 
delegated  to  the  Commanding  Officer.  This  demands  that  the  highest  standards 
of  quality  control  be  maintained  in  producing  a  fully  coordinated  and 
integrated  product  which  reflects  the  command  position. 
(c)  Due  dates  established  in  the  approval  production  schedule 
may  be  changed  only  through  official  correspondence  between  NISC-0001  and 
DIA.  NISC-60  must  participate  in  any  production  slippage  in  order  to  minimize 
impact  on  the  approved  production  schedule.  Revisions  to  the  annual 
4-14
NISCINST  3120. 1A 
*  :'  f-CV  |P35 
production  schedule  must  be  supported  in  detail.  Generally,  the  only 
acceptable  rationale  for  a  slippage  is  significant  changes  in  available 
resources,  or  unprogrammed  quick -response  (crisis)  requirements. 
(d)  To  ensure  coordination,  departments  will  designate  a 
production  coordinator  whose  functions  will  include  close  liaison  with  the 
Production  and  Tasking  Division  (NISC-0001).  Production  meetings  will  be  held 
as  required  between  departmental  coordinators  and  NISC-0001  to  review  the 
status  of  products,  determine  whether  the  production  milestones  are  being  met 
as  scheduled,  and  to  recommend  remedial  action  as  appropriate. 
(3)  Project  control  status  of  production: 
(a)  As  updates  to  the  Catalog  of  Approved  Scientific  and 
Technical  Intelligence  Tasks  (CAST)  are  received,  the  Production  and  Tasking 
Division  (NISC-0001)  will  issue  project  numbers  to  each  task  requiring  primary 
or  support  action  by  NISC. 
(b)  Upon  promulgation  of  the  annual  S&T  Intelligence  Production 
Schedule,  NISC-0001  will  assign  appropriate  point  work  orders  indicating  the 
primary  department  and  due  dates  for  submission  of  the  draft  manuscript. 
Tasks  involving  NISC  support  to  another  agency  will  have  only  the  basic 
continuing  number  entered  in  the  system  indicating  the  support  to  be 
provided.  Print  dates  for  publications  will  conform  to  the  DIA  scheduled 
dissemination  date. 
(c)  When  internal  support  is  required,  an  Inter -departmental 
Support  Task  (1ST)  providing  details  of  support  and  due  dates  required  by  the 
primary  department  will  be  forwarded  by  the  department. 
c.  Action:  To  ensure  that  production  deadlines  are  met  and  that  quality 
control  is  maintained,  NISC  departments,  with  NISC-0001  assistance,  will 
develop  management  procedures  to  provide  for: 
(1)  Realistic  assessment  of  production  resources  available  to  inset 
annual  schedule  requirements. 
(2)  A  reflection  of  this  assessment  in  responding  to  proposed  DIA 
schedules. 
(3)  Continuous  review  of  each  product,  in  coordination  with  DIA 
monitors,  to  determine  the  extent  of  change  or  update  required  and  the  most 
efficient  production  technique  or  format  to  employ  in  maintaining  the 
product.  Recommendations  for  the  cancellation  of  redundant,  obsolete  or 
minimal  interest  publications  will  also  be  considered. 
(4)  Identification  of  production  problem  areas  and  the  application  of 
timely  remedial  measures  to  prevent  production  slippages. 
402.8  NAVY  TACTICAL  WARFARE  PUBLICATIONS  (NWP) 
a.  NWP-0  assigns  production  responsibility  for  the  NWP-12  Series  of 
publications  to  the  Director  of  Naval  Intelligence.  NISC  specific 
requirements  include  the  following:

403.   AD  HOC  PRODUCTION 
The  Production  and  Tasking  Division  (NISC-0001)  is  the  focal  point  for 
processing  ad  hoc  taskings.  These  taskings  are  received  from  NIC  via 
Production  Tasking  Forms  or  directly  from  various  activities  by  messages, 
correspondence,  memos  and  telephone.  If  NISC  is  an  info  addressee  on  an 
action  message  or  correspondence,  NISC-0001  will  assign  anticipatory  action 
prior  to  receiving  NIC  tasking.  Upon  receipt  of  a  request,  NISC-0001  asigns 
action  to  a  staff /department,  indicates  supporting  department (s),  and  asigns 
the  due  date.  NISC-0001  will  assign  the  project  number  and  other  basic  data 
required  by  the  IRMS.  A  specific  due  date  is  assigned  to  all  projects.  A 
continuing  due  date  may  also  be  assigned  to  large  scale  projects  in  which  NISC 
provides  support  to  the  consumer  as  data  are  received  and  analyzed,  for  which 
no  specific  milestones  are  established  or  required;  however,  these  continuing 
numbers  should  be  kept  to  a  minimum.  The  due  date  appearing  on  the  project 
task  sheet  is  the  date  by  which  the  completed  response  must  be  mailed  or 
transmitted.  Any  changes  to  the  assigned  due  date  must  be  approved  by 
NISC-000. 
Unless  otherwise  advised,  the  action  department  will  forward  the 
requested  information  directly  to  the  originator.  The  action  department 
retains  responsibility  for  maintaining  an  "Audit-Trail"  on  all  tasking  until 
the  finished  product  is  enroute. 
a.  Due  Date  Assignment:  The  following  guidelines  are  used  by  NISC-0001 
for  assignment  of  due  dates: 
(1)  Originator  requests  specific  due  date  -  NISC-0001  will  retard 
internal  due  date  to  provide  for  mail  delivery  in  time  to  meet  originator's 
due  date  as  follows: 
ORIGINATOR  NISC  DUE  DATE* 
OPNAV/NIC/CBN/Other  X  minus  one  working  day 
Washington  Area  Commands 
East  Coast  Commands  X  minus  two  working  days 
West  Coast  Commands  X  minus  three  working  days 
EUR/Hawaii/WEOTPAC  commands  X  minus  four  working  days 
♦Originator's  requested  due  date  =  X 
(2)  Originator's  request  passed  via  message  -  if  no  specific  due  date 
requested,  NISC-0001  will  assign  NISC  due  date  in  accordance  with  the  message 
precedence  as  follows: 
PRECEDENCE  NISC  DUE  DATE 
Immediate  Same  day 
Priority  Three  working  days 
Routine  Ten  working  days
