year  was  spent  in  preparation  for  the  1984  command  IG  Inspection.  The 
inspection  was  held  27-30  November.  The  Draft  Report  indicates  a  successful 
inspection  inasmuch  as  very  few  administrative  discrepancies  were  discovered. 
c.   (U)  CURRENT  OPERATIONS  AND  READINESS  DEPARTMENT  (NAVOPINTCEN-02) 
(1)  (U)  Organizational  Changes 
(a)  (U)  On  1  March  1984,  the  Merchant  Division  within  the 
Current  Operations  Department  was  combined  with  elements  from  the  Naval 
intelligence  Supcort  Center  to  form  a  new  Merchant  Department  within  the
Co—ana .  The  renaming  divisions  of  the  Current  Operations  Department  were 
then  msrged  with  the  Readiness  Division  from  the  Naval  Analysis  D°oartnv>nt 
to  form  the  Current  Operations  and  Readiness  Department.  This  reorgan-" 
ization  was  viewed  as  an  interim  aligament  which  would  facilitate  the' 
adoption  of  analytical  Indications  and  Warning  procedjres  olanned  for  in  th- 
future.  The  1  March  departmental  organization  consisted  of  four  major 
analytic  components— the  Submarine,  Surface  Aerospace  and  OPELINT  divisions 
with  the  Archival  element  and  the  Senior  Watch  Analysts  continuing  under  the 
Departmental  operations  Officer. 
(b)  (U)  On  1  October  1984,  the  Command  relinquished  the 
responsibility  of  the  Soviet  Naval  Desk  in  the  National  Military 
Intelligence  Center  to  DIA  and  returned  to  DIA  the  five  officer  billets 
originally  given  to  this  Command  by  DIA  for  that  watch. 
(2)  (U)  Production 
(a)  (U)  During  late  March  through  early  April  1984,  the  Soviet 
Northern  and  Baltic  Fleets  conducted  what  may  well  have  been  the  most 
comprehensive  exercise  in  their  history.  The  Current  Operations  and 
Readiness  Department  not  only  took  the  lead  in  the  analysis  of  the  current 
operations  of  the  evolution  but  in  the  analysis  and  reporting  of  the 
activity  in  a  Command  SIB,  entitled  WAR  IN  THE  NORTHWEST/ARCTIC  TVD  -  A 
MARITIME  PERSPECTIVE  1984.    "
6.   (U)  NAVAL  ANALYSIS  DEPARTMENT  (NAV0PINTCEN-Q3) .  During  the  year  the 
Naval  Analysis  Department  saw  two  major  reorientations  that  significantly 
impacted  on  the  types  of  analysis  conducted  by  the  Department.  The  transfer 
of  the  Readiness  Division  to  the  Current  Operations  Department  during  June 
saw  a  reduction  of  personnel  as  well  as  a  narrowing  of  focus  to  strategy, 
operations,  and  tactics.  The  transfer  of  the  ASW  Branch  of  the  Tactics 
Division  to  the  new  Submarine  Warfare  Operations  Readiness  Department  during 
November  caused  a  further  reduction  in  the  areas  of  analysis,  specifically 
within  the  operations  and  tactics  areas.
U)  IB  Promotion 
(a)  KM  Tne  Department  conducted  initiative  in-depth  studies  and

e.   (U)  WORLD  NAVIES  DEPARTMENT  (NAVOPINTCEN-04) .  The  World  Navies 
Department  is  responsible  for  performing  researcn  and  analysis  of  Free/Third
•\.rid  naval  ar.i  air  over  vat^r  operations,  tactics  ar.S  strategies  on  a 
current  and  ir.oepth  basis.  By  the  end  of  1554,  the  number  of  analysts 
dedicated  to  the  World  Navies  effort  stood  at  seventeen,  -with  another  three 
awaiting  clearance  determinations.  Countries  that  pose  a  potential  threat 
to  u.  S.  naval  forces  world  wide  are  studied  with  particular  interest  in  a  * 
continuing  effort  to  keep  the  fleet  and  national  level  co~-ands  informed  of 
significant  and  high-interest  Free/Third  World  events  on  a  real-time  basis. 
The  Department  began  publication  of  a  Free/Third  World  weekly  intelligence 
summary  in  July.  The  distribution  for  this  product  has  been  tailored  to 
msst  the  needs  of  the  four  fleet  areas  of  responsibility  (LANT,  MED,  10  and 
PAC).  This  effort  has  been  well  received,  in  addition* to  this  significant 
effort,  the  Department's  level  of  analytical  production  has  steadily 
increased  during  the  year.,  in  particular,  maritime  posture  statements 
covering  the  countries  of  Algeria,  Angola,  Cuba,  Nicaragua,  Syria,  Iranr 
Libya,  and  Vietnam  were  produced.  Additionally,  a  Special  Intelligence 
Brief  developing  Iranian  Naval  Capabilities  (SIB-002-84)  and  a  Special 
Intelligence  Report  on  Indonesian  Submarine  Operations  (SPIRE-001-84-SI) 
were  disseminated. 
f.   (C)  SUBMARINE  WARFARE  OPERATIONS  RESEARCH  DEPARTMENT 
(NAV0PINTCEN-Q5) .  On  9  December  "1984,  NAVOPINTCEN  formed  a  new  analytical 
department  consisting  initially  of  thirty -two  personnel  (22  civilians,  5 
officers  and  5  enlisted)  reassigned  from  other  elements  of  the  Command.  The 
new  Submarine  Warfare  Operations  Research  Department  (5WORD)  is  expected  to 
reach  its  base  manning  complement  of  thirty-six  Dy  1  Marcn  1985  when  the 
last  of  four  OP-02  assigned  Submarine  Officers  report  aboard.  The  mission 
of  SWORD  is  to  develop  a  clear  understanding  of  Soviet  wartime  strategies, 
concepts  of  operation,  and  tactics  for  the  employment  of  military  forces 
against  u.  S.  submarines.  SWORD  is  tasked  with  the  development  of  tailored 
threat  manuals  and  support  packages  oriented  toward  U.  S.  submarine-unique 
operational  areas  and  missions.  The  continual  updating  of  these  products 
will  structure  the  on -going  analytical  effort.  Members  of  the  new 
Department  are  looking  forward  to  a  productive  1985,  with  a  short-term  goal 
of  the  completion  of  the  first  version  of  both  the  Submarine  Warfare  Manual 
and  the  Submarine  Warfare  Tactics  Handbook  by  1  July.  The  long-term  goal  of 
the  Department  is  to  establish  an  integrated  exercise  reconstruction 
capability  and  to  further  refine  our  tailored  support  process.  The  SWORD 
contains  a  management  staff  and  three  divisions. 
(1)  (C)  The  Production  Support  Division  is  responsible  for  all 
Department  data  base  maintenance  and  development  efforts.  In  addition, 
sensitive  source  material  is  controlled  within  this  Division  and 
adminstrative  functions  such  as  t3Sk  coordination  and  special  security 
indoctrination,  liaison  and  collection  requirements  processing  are  performed. 
(2)  (U)  The  Warfare  Analysis  Division  is  comprised  of  two  branches, 
the  Operations  Branch  and  the  Tactics  Branch. 
(a)  (C)  The  Operations  Branch  is  responsible  for  analyzing 
Soviet  combined  arms  doctrine  especially  as  it  is  manifested  in  Soviet 
writings,  exercise  activity  and  deployment/patrol  practices,  so  that  the 
Soviet "peacetime  and  wartime  threats  to  U.  S.  submarine  forces  can  be  better 
understood.  This  Branch  provides  threat  information  in  the  form  of  a  Soviet
Warfare  Manual,  Special  Intelligence  Studies  and  Mission  Feedback  Reports 
tailored  to  the  unique  geographic/environmental  needs  of  U.  S.  submarine 
forces  operating  around  the  world. 
(b)  M  The  Tactics  Branch  is  responsible  for  evaluating  the 
constantly  changing  Soviet  tactical  environment  and  providing  the  U.S. 
attack  submarine  force  with  up-to-date  assessments  of  Soviet  &SW  concepts. 
This  Branch  prepares  tailored  tactical  threat  documents  to  include:  Naval 
Warfare  Publications;  Submarine  Warfare  Tactics  Handbook;  Special 
Intelligence  Bulletins;  and  other  documents^ 
(3)  ^BThe  Ocean  Research  Division  is  responsible  for  identifying 
Soviet  oceanographic  research  operations  that  are  directed  at  developing 
and/or  improving  sensor  systems  that  might  enhance  the  Soviet  capability  to 
detect  and  destroy  U.  S.  submarines.  The  Division  contributes  directly  to 
the  understanding  and  unique  Soviet  tactics  and  strategies  and  to  the 
development  of  the  threat  documents  mentioned  above.  Members  of  the  new 
Department  are  looking  forward  to  a  productive  1985,  with  a  short-term  goal 
of  the  completion  of  the  first  version  of  both  the  Submarine  Warfare  Manual 
and  the  Submarine  Warfare  Tactics  handbooks  by  1  July.  The  long-term  goal 
of  the  Department  is  to  establish  an  integrated  exercise  reconstruction 
capability  and  to  further  refine  our  tailored  support  process. 
g.  MB  SPECIAL  PROJECTS  DEPARTMENT  (NAVOPINTCEN-OS) .  The  Special 
Projects  Department  (SPD)'s  unique  support  to  Naval  Intelligence,  Navy 
operational  commands,  and  high-level  naval  and  national  decision-makers 
continued  for  the  ninth  year.  A  Command  restructuring  in  December  1984 
resulted  in  the  Department  retaining  analytical  responsibilities  for 
The 
   was  left  with  twenty- three  billets  in 
three  divisions.  During  1984,  the  Department  provided  in-depth  analysis  of 
various  topics  related 
^|_wr  Additionally,  a  high  tempo  of  ■  ^operations 
required  the  continuing  attention  of  the  Division,  resulting  in  a  number  of 
significant  reports  on  Soviet  naval  operations  and  tactics.  Accomplishments 
of  the  Division  during  1984  included:
(2)  ■  ■  The  Threat  Analysis  Division  (62)  completed  a  highly 
successful  and  demanding  year  continuing  to  provide  analytical  support  to 
the  Commander,  Naval  Intelligence  Command  and  the  Director  of  Naval 
Intelligence  as  well  as  Fleet  operational  commands,  national  intelligence 
agencies,  and  offices  under  the  Chief  of  Naval  Operations^ 
               'They  also  published 
comprehensive  intelligence  studies  of  selected  Soviet  operation  areas  for 
use  by  U.S.  forces.  The  Threat  Analysis  Branch  provided  intelligence 
succor t  to  certain^ 
   The  assignment  of  a  Naval  Geophysics  Officer  resulted  in  closer 
relationships  with  and  improved  intelligence  support  to  the  Naval 
Oceanographic  Community.  Highlights  of  1984  were:

(1)  (U)  SEA  WATCH  III,  The  major  project  conducted  by  NAVDPINTCEN 
07  was  SEA  WATCH  II,  the  project  that  will  replace  NAVDPINTCEN 's  major 
computer  system.  SEA  WATCH  III  development  is  conducted  by  the  NAVINTCOM 
level  integrated  Automated  Intelligence  Processing  System  (IAIPS)  office, 
with  the  prime  contractor  being  System  Development  Corporation.  Initial 
operations  with  SEA  WATCH  III  are  not  expected  until  1987.  Significant  1984 
events  include:  a  decision  in  March  to  base  the  development  of  SEA  WATCH 
III  on  a  data  base  management  system  named  Model  204,  which  is  written  in 
IBM  assembly  language;  a  preliminary  System  Design  Review,  held  on  15  May; 
and  a  final  System  Design  Review,  held  in  September.  The  detailed  design  of 
SEA  WATCH  III  commenced  in  1984,  following  the  decision  to  use  Model  204  as 
the  basis  of  SEA  WATCH  III. 
(2)  (U)  The  OSIS  Baseline  Upgrade  (OBU)  Project  will  provide 
replacement  operational  intelligence  computer  systems  to  the  fleet  OSIS 
nodes.  NAVDPINTCEN,  as  the  national  OSIS  node,  is  receiving  SEA  WATCH  III, 
since  the  mission  and  size  of  NAVDPINTCEN  is  significantly  different  than
!'!  Iri.lKNdJA.1.  l\l   .'-' 
the  fleet  OSIS  nodes.  NAVOPINTCEN  is  involved  in  the  development  of  03U  in 
a  number  of  ways,  primarily  through  its  membership  on  the  SEA  WATCH  III/OBU 
Interface  Working  Group.  The  purpose  of  the  Interface  Working  Group  is  to 
achieve  inter oper ability  between  SEA  WATCH  III  and  OEU,  which  involved     ' 
efficient  and  mutual  operation  of  NAVOPINTCEN  with  the  other,  fleet,  CSIS 
nodes.  IWG  meetings  were  held  throughout  1934.  Based  on  IWG  tasking,  Johns 
Hopkins'  Applied  Physics  Lab  completed  a  technical  proposal  to  achieve 
interoperability.  NAVOPINTCEN  participated  in  03U  tracker  and  correlator 
design  meetings  held  in  July.  NAVOPINTCEN  also  made  significant 
contributions  to  the  planned  establishment  of  a  British  OBU  site.  A  British 
Naval  officer  began  a  two-year  tour  of  NAVOPINTCEN  in  June  as  part  of  this 
effort. 
(3)  (U)  The  Wang  Replacement  Project  (WRI)  has  as  its  goal  the 
establishment  of  NAVOPINTCEN  computer  operations  on  the  IAIPS  network.  The 
NAVINTOOM  level  IAIPS  project  has  implemented  at  NAVINTCOM  a  network  that 
allows  the  DEC  350  micro  computer  to  access  multiple  computers.  The  WRI 
project  involved  the  installation  of  DEC  350  computers  and  the  development 
of  a  system  that  will  provide  to  NAVOPINTCEN  necessary  computer  functions 
such  as  outgoing  message  capabilities.  Major  events  in  1984  associated  with 
the  WRI  project  include  a  formal  design  review  in  March.  A  stress  test  of 
the  WRI  system  was  conducted  in  December.  Initial  operations  are  expected 
in  early  1985.  Associated  with  this  project  is  an  effort  to  allow  access  to 
NAVOPINTCEN' s  major  computer  system,  SEA  WATCH  II,  using  the  DEC  350.  A 
formal  design  review  for  this  SEA  WATCH  project  was  held  in  June. 
(4)  (U)  ELINT  Processor.  A  project  was  conducted  in  1984  to  improve 
NAVOPINTCEN' s  ELINT  processor  (Naval  ELINT  Analysis  Tool  or  NEAT)  by  moving 
it  to  a  DEC  VAX  11/780  computer  and  make  access  to  this  computer  be  over  the 
IAIPS  local  area  network.  Government  testing  of  the  NEAT  system  on  a  VAX 
was  conducted  in  February.  Security  planning  for  this  system  was  begun  in 
June.  Operations  were  not  achieved  in  1984  due  to  delays  in  making 
modifications  to  a  related  computer  system  (IFEF)  required  for  NEAT  VAX 
operations. 
(5)  (U)  Developmental  Unified  ELINT  Testbed.  The  project  to  replace 
and  significantly  improve  NAWPINTCEN  ELINT  operations  is  termed  DUET,  which 
stands  for  the  Developmental  unified  ELINT  Testbed.  This  project  is 
scheduled  to  become  operational  in  the  summer  of  1985.  Major  1984  events 
for  this  project  include  a  formal  government  review  held  in  September. 
Technical,  progranmatic,  and  user  involvement  meetings  were  held  throughout 
1984. 
(6)  (U)  Developmental  Submarine  Analysis  Testbed.  A  major,  new 
submarine  analysis  system  became  operational  in  late  1984,  a  system  termed 
the  Developmental  Submarine  Analysis  Testbed  (DSAT) .  This  system  was 
developed  by  the  Naval  Ocean  Systems  Center  in  San  Diego,  CA.  A  second 
phase  of  DSAT  was  planned  in  December.  DSAT  is  also  intended  to  develop 
computer  technology  for  fleet  CSIS  nodes,  and  their  participation  in  DSAT 
has  been  maintained  throughout  the  project.  Planning  and  design  meetings 
for  DSAT  were  held  throughout  1984.

(9)  (U)  SEA  WATCH  II.  Significant  improvements  were  made  to 
V.'OPINTCEN's  primary' system,  SEA  WATCH  II,  in  1984.  A  conversion  to  a  new 
rerating  system,  named  NOS/BE,  was  implemented  that  would  allow  the 
—reduction  of  new  and  larger  capacity  magnetic  tape  drives  and  disk 
rives.  This  new  operating  system  was  first  tested  operationally  in  January 
::z   became  operational  in  April*  The  new  disk  drives  were  introduced  in 
_:ne.  Additional  main  memory  to  the  SEA  WATCH  computer,  a  CYBER  170-730, 
-.t   a  new  extended  main  memory  were  both  added  in  1984.  Plans  to  replace

:rter  of  1984,  among  the  Director  of  Naval  Intelligence,  NAVOPINTCEN, 
rJ>A,  NIPSSA,  and  CINCPACFLT  to  implement  a  Teleconference  capability 
:ween  NAVOPINTCEN  and  FOSIC  PAC.  This  capability  would  provide  dedicated, 
:ure  voice,  video,  and  graphics  communication  using  prototype 
.econference  capabilities  developed  by  DARPA.  Initial  equipment 
itallation  was  completed  in  19o4. 
(12)  (U)  DORA.  In  December,  the  DORA  Division  of  the  Intelligence 
-stems  Deoartment  was  transferred  to  a  new  Department,  NAVOPINTCEN

Garment  (05)  all  Command  elements  involved  with  support  to  operational 
:omarine  forces. 
i.  Ml  MERCHANT  OPERATIONS  AND  ANALYSIS  DEPARTMENT  (NAVQPINTCEN-08) . 
■''OPINTCEN-08  was  created  in  March  1984  by  the  merger  of  the  NISC  Maritime 
-terns  Division  (NISC-34)  with  the  NAVOPINTCEN  Merchant  Operations  Division 
~~.VOPINTCEN-22) .  This  merger  concentrated  within  one  Command  all  merchant 
-'-ine  intelligence  functions  performed  by  the  Naval  intelligence  Command  in 
"  support  of  National  Command  Authorities,  DOD,  JCS,  the  Fleet,  and  other 
-v-rnment  departments  and  agencies.  Prior  to  the  merger,  all  operational 
alysis  of  merchant  marine  operations  was  conducted  at  NAVOPINTCEN,  while
all  analysis  of  merchant  characteristics  and  technical  intelligence  was 
conducted  at  NISC.  All  personnel,  billets,  equipment,  physical  spaces,  and 
functions  previously  assigned  to  NISC-34  were 'transferred  to  NAVOPINTCEN. 
Tne  mission  of  the  newly  created  Department  is  to  exploit  multi-source  data 
in  analyzing  and  reporting  on  the  operation,  characteristics,  capabilities, 
and  inventories  of  all-flag  merchant,  fishing,  and  research  shipping;  to 
produce  reports  tailored  to  the  requirements  of  the  Defense  Intelligence 
Agency,  the  Military  Departments,  the  Unified,  Specified,  and  Fleet 
Commands,  other  National  Departments  and  Agencies,  and  designated  U.  S. 
Allies;  to  provide  the  earliest  possible  strategic  warning  of  and  prediction 
of  imminent  hostilities  of  impending  threats  that  may  otherwise  adversely 
impact  on  U.  S.  interests.  The  Department's  three  Divisions  are: 
-U^The  Merchant  OPINTEL  Division  (91)  emerged  from  the  old 
NAVOPINTCEN  Merchant  OPINTEL  Branch.  This  Division  was  tasked  with 
maintaining  an  I&W  watch  and  with  the  handling  of  all  current  intelligence. 
In  addition,  the  Division  handles  all  aspects,  both  current  and  estimative 
intelligence,  of  seaborne  Soviet  arms  deliveries  and  Soviet  civilian 
research  ship  activity. 
-  ^jThe  Merchant  Analysis  Division  (82)  was  created  by  combining 
elements  ofthe  old  NAVOPINTCEN  Maritime  In-Depth  Analysis  Branch  (MIDAB) 
with  elements  of  NISC-34  in  order  to  create  a  Division  capable  of  performing 
all-source,  in-depth,  estimative  analysis  of  merchant  marine  developments 
and  operations.  This  Division  became  responsible  for  analyzing  both 
operations  and  technical  developments. 
-£J|  The  Data  Base  and  Production  Division  (83)  was  created  by 
combining  tne  majority  of  the  NISC-34  personnel  and  functions  with  the 
data-base  management  personnel  from  NAVDPINTCEN.  This  Division  became 
responsible  for  administering  the  Merchant  Ship  Characteristics  data  base; 
the  departmental  photographic  files  and  exploitation  programs;  the 
publication  production  process;  and  the  Sea  Watch  data  base.  In  addition, 
it  produces  a  number  of  OPINTEL  summary  products  and  conducts  analysis  of 
free-world  merchant  ship  characteristics.  In  essence  this  Division  provides 
the  foundation  for  all  merchant  ship  research  within  the  Department  and  to  a 
large  extent  throughout  the  entire  intelligence  community.

taskings. 
A
(c)  tU)  Merchant  Analysis  Division  (MAD) 
1.  H  Established  as  a  Branch  of  the  Merchant  Operations 
Division  in  March  of  1983,  the  Merchant  In-depth  Analysis  Branch  (MIDAB)  was 
expanded  and  elevated  to  divisional  status  in  March  1934.  The  newly  created 
Merchant  Analysis  Division  (82)  combined  merchant  ship  characteristics 
analysts  from  the  former  NISC-34  with  merchant  operations  analysts  from  the 
former  MIDAB  in  order  to  create  a  division  capable  of  performing  all -source, 
in-depth,  estimative  analysis  of  merchant  marine  developments  and 
operations.  As  part  of  the  effort,  a  new  aperiodic  message  report  format 
was  adopted:  the  Significant  Maritime  Analysis  Report  (SMART).  The  SMART 
provides  a  vehicle  for  reporting  both  scientific/technical  merchant  marine 
developments  and  significant  analysis  of  merchant  marine  operations/ 
activities.  To  better  concentrate  the  efforts  of  the  Division,  two  teams 
were  created:  the  Soviet/Warsaw  Pact  team  and  the  Non-Warsaw  Pact  team. 
Almost  immediately  after  the  creation  of  the  new  Division,  the  increased 
temoo  of  Iraqi  and  Iranian  air  attacks  upon  merchant  shipping  in  the  Persian 
Gulf  necessitated  a  radical  realignment  of  personnel  withing  the  Division. 
By  May,  five  analysts  taken  from  both  teams  within  the  Division  were  fully 
committed  to  the  Command's  effort  with  regard  to  the  so-called  "Tanker  War" 
in  the  Persian  Gulf.  The  Red  Sea  mining  incidents  in  July  resulted  in  a 
further  realignment  of  divisional  assets  to  support  the  Merchant  OPINTEL 
Division  in  covering  the  crisis.

-  In  response  to  CINCFAC  tasking,  a  study  of  seaborne 
trade  to  and  from  Japan  was  conducted. 
-  The  Division  continued  to  provide  reporting  on  Soviet 
and  Bloc  merchant  shipping  calls  to  U.  S.  ports.  These 
port  security  reports  are  issued  weekly,  monthly,  and 
annually.  Beginning  in  late  1984,  the  scope  of  the 
reports  was  expanded  to  include  Soviet  and  Bloc  merchant 
shipping  calls  at  Canadian  ports. 
-  A  new  monthly,  quarterly  and  annual  report  of  Soviet

both  in  quantity  and  quality  over  that  of  previous  years.  By  the  end  of 
1984  the  Detachment  had  participated  in  43  war  games  and  some  dozen 
additional  workshop  seminars.  New  initiatives  in  wargaming  included  three 
C3CM  games  for  the  Chief  of  Naval  Operations  that  were  hosted,  designed,  and 
played  under  the  direction  of  this  Detachment;  incorporation  of  C3CM  into 
all  of  the  war  games;  the  introduction  of  space  warfare  into  game  play;  and 
a  more  detailed  examination  of  the  influence  of  maritime  forces  on  the 
Central  Front.  The  expansion  of  the  Detachment's  spaces  that  had  commenced 
in  November  1983  was  completed  in  October  of  this  year.  The  Detachment's 
space  has  been  increased  by  approximately  30  percent,  thereby  allowing  more 
SCI  spaces  for  game  play  at  the  Naval  War  College.  An  additional  civilian 
analyst  (GS-12)  position  was  created  in  the  Detachment  in  order  to  assist  in 
the  30  percent  increase  in  war  games  witnessed  in  1984  and  expected  to 
continue  into  1985.

(3)  (U)  As  in  1983,  the  primary  focus  of  NAVOPItTTCEN  DET  Newport 
operations  in  1984  continued  in  the  following  three  areas: 
(a)  (U)  Intelligence  support  to  the  Strategic  Studies  Group 
(SSG) .  One  intelligence  officer  (0-4)  is  assigned  full  time  to  support  the 
SSG  and  accompanies  the  Group  in  all  of  their  travels,  as  in  1983,  travels 
with  SSG  included  trips  to  all  the  Unified  CINC's  headquarters  and  briefings 
to  all  of  the  CINC's  visits  and  briefings  to  U.  S.  congressional  members  and 
their  staffs,  and  extensive  briefings  by  DIA,  CIA,  STAT,  and  Naval 
Intelligence  analysts. 
(b)  (U)  Opposition  (Red  Team)  and  intelligence  play  in  war 
games.  This  area  involved  the  greatest  expenditure  of  time  and  by  far  the 
largest  number  of  personnel  from  the  Detachment. 
(c)  jHceneral  intelligence  support  to  the  Naval  War  College. 
This  is  an  area  in  which  the  Detachment's  support  on  requirements  has 
increased  substantially.  In  addition  to  the  support  to  the  Naval  Operations 
Department  of  the  Naval  War  College  and  the  Center  for  Advanced  Research 
(CAR) ,  the  Detachment  was  also  tasked  to  support  two  new  groups  within  the 
Center  for  Naval  Warfare  Studies  (CNWS)  -  the  Warfare  Analysis  Group  and  the 
Fleet  Assistance  Team.
>:;riK\a".i.v  ■. 
(4>  ■  ■  lt   1S  anticipated  that  this  Detachment  will  participate  in 
approximately  46-52  games  in  1935.  Additional  AT?  gares  are  scheduled  for 
1985  as  well  as  the  first  JCS  game.  New  initiatives  include  the  inclusion 
of  space  Warfare  in  more  of  the  games  and  a  more  in-depth  examination  of 
Soviet  fourth  generation  air  defenses  and  their  impact  on  u.  S.  maritime 
forces. 
(5)  ■  Hardware  upgrades  that  will  enhance  the  Detachment's 
capability  in  1985  include  an  upgraded  secure  voice  svstam,  a  HP-530 
computer  for  NWGS  Satellite  Intelligence  Module  (NSAT-) ,  and  a  DIAOLS/COINS 
capability.  A  new  SPINTCOM  facility  is  scheduled  to  be  comoleted  at  the 
Naval  War  College  in  March  1985.  Although  the  SPINTCOM  facility  will  not 
come  under  the  supervision  of  the  Detachment,  it  will  be  located  adjacent  to 
the  NAVOPINTCEN  DET  spaces  and  will  provide  us  with  more  potential  for 
timely  insertion  of  SCI  into  war 
k.   (U)  Reserve  Affairs.  The  first  full-time  Reserve  Coordinator,  a  TAR 
(05)  was  assigned  in  February.  The  NAVOPINTCEN  Reserve  Program  consists  of 
142  (118  officer,  24  enlisted)  billets  in  5  units  of  the  Naval  Reserve 
Intelligence  Program  (NRIP) .  These  units  are  engaged  in  14  projects,  12  of 
which  directly  support  NAVOPINTCEN.  Additional  support  is  provided  by  9 
other  Reserve  Units  (6  NISC,  1  FOSIC  CINCUSNAVEUR,  1  Security  Group  and  1 
Marine)  on  10  projects.  Transfer  of  the  NISC  Maritime  Systems  Division 
(NISC- 34) ,  along  with  personnel  and  equipment,  resulted  in  a  significant 
change  in  tasking  to  these  9  units.  Active  Duty  for  Training  (ACDUTRA)  was 
performed  at  NAVOPINTCEN  by  110  Reservists  (90  officers,  20  enlisted).
