(Page 2) USAF-RAF JOINT AGREEMENT on TARGET INTELLIGENCE 1. As a result of a series of formal and informal discussions between representatives of the Assistant Chief of Air Staff (Intel- ligence) Air Ministry and the Director of Intelligence, USAF, re- garding the collation, presentation, and exchange of target intel- ligence, it is agreed that the interests of the USAF and RAF will be served best by a policy of close cooperation between British and American air intelligence agencies in the fieJd of target intelligence. 2. It is therefore agreed that, subject to prevailing security policy, USAF-RAF cooperation on target intelligence will embrace the free exchange of: a. Basic Target Intelligence Basic Target Intelligence shall be interpreted as all unevaluated information related to target intelligence including, for example, British summary sheets from factory folders, target information work sheets, International Business Machine or other listings and accompanying codes, the Russian Gazeteer now in process of completion by the Board of Geographic Names, interrogation or special reports, captured material, aerial and ground photography, and cartographic material. b. Evaluated Target Intelligence Evaluated Target Intelligence shall be interpreted as appreciations or studies involving the analysis of information relevant to any phase of target intelligence, including for example, generai studies pertaining to the economic, sociological, psychological, or political aspects of a potential enemy nationals vulnerability. Similarly, detailed studies including photo-interpretation studies prepared on selected targets or target systems ({illegible], iron and steel, petroleum, aircraft, electric power, and communications. Special studies prepared on the basis of hypotheses designed to focus attention on problems pertinent to air intelligence. c. Target Systems considered for Air Attack Target Systems considered for air attack shall be inter- preted as those systems on which the production of Air Objective Folders is scheduled.
(Page 3) a. Air Objective Folder Material produced under the respective programs. Air Objective Folder Material shall be interpreted as material produced under the USAF Air Objective Folder Program or the British Targetting Program. e. Personnel Personnel shall be interpreted as both military and civilian personnel. The exchange agreed upon provides for the exchange of personnel on a permanent, rotation, or temporary duty basis to the fullest extent deemed advisable and consistent with budgetary limitations. 3. For the purpose of facilitating cooperation the target numbering system employed by the USAF will be adopted as standard. The use of this system within the RAF will be effected as expeditiously as possible. It will be the responsibility of the USAF to lend every assistance to the RAF in this matter, including the immediate and continuing assignment of target numbers required to coordinate the respective programs. 4. It is further agreed that unless it is contrary to the decisions of the Air Standardization Coordination Committee, AF Regulation 200-25, dated 25 February 1948, and amendments thereto, shall be accepted as the basis for the standardization of all completed air objective folder material produced in accordance with this agreement. 5. The Director of Intelligence, USAF, and the A.C.A.S.(I), RAF, shall be responsible for the direction and coordination of USAF and RAF cooperation on target intelligence in order to insure full exploitation of intelligence, maximum target coverage, complete standardization, and minimum duplication of effort. 6. For the purpose of effecting the control and coordination required to integrate USAF and RAF effort into an effective target intelligence program, the Director of Intelligence and the A.C.A.S. (I) each agree to appoint representatives charged with the responsibility of implementing and executing the above agreement. 7. This agreement is to become effective immediately.
