REPRODUCED AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE UNCLASSIFIED SECTION 1 OP-009 INTRODUCTION 1.1 (U) PURPOSE 1.1.1 (U) Annual Command Histories have long been used in the U.S. Armed Forces as an important means to record each command's significant activities, decisions, technological advances, problems and solutions. These records, collected and archived by military historians, have often proven vital to staff officers, planners, and managers by enabling them to review reliable classified and unclassified past information prior to embarking on a present course. Consequently, OPNAVINST 5750.l2c of 29 Jan 80 required that Command Histories be submitted, stored and reviewed annually. The Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) "Annual History - 1984" is the first consolidated annual history of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) produced by the DNI. While annual histories of the component elements of the Naval Intelligence organization have been prepared annually for the Director of Naval History (OP-09BH), no consolidated history, incorporating second and third echelon command histories with those of OP-009 elements, has been produced previously. This annual history is being produced as a result of a recommendation by Captain Wyman H. Packard, USN (Ret.), ONI‘s unofficial historian since his retirement in 1965, and has led to the institution by the DNI of a Naval Intelligence history program (using Naval Inteiligence Reserve personnel as primary support) on 31 December 1984. 1.1.2 (U) The Director of Naval Intelligence "Annual History - 1984" is a compilation of individual histories divided into four volumes. The first volume covers the OP-009 offices under the DNI. The second volume covers second echelon commands: Naval Intelligence Command (NIC); Naval Security Group Command (NSGC); and Naval Investigative Service (NIS). The third volume covers third echelon commands: Naval Operational Intelligence Center (NOIC); Naval Intelligence Support Center (NISC); Naval Intelligence Processing and Systems Support Activity (NIPSSA); and Commander, CTF-168. The fourth volume covers the intelligence staffs of the fleet commanders in chief: Commander in Chief, Atlantic (CINCLANT); Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC):; and Commander in Chief, U.S. Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR) - Pore merece
REPRODUCED AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE 1.2.4 (U) Underscoring the growing importance of the functions performed by CP-009Y, as well as the growing importance of understanding better the strategy and doctrine of the Soviet Navy, was the creation of the position of Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence (Threat). The position was occupied by*Mr. Richard Haver. OP-009Y2 enjoyed a fourfold production increase without an increase in personnel. This included involvement in some 80 National Intelligence Estimates. 1984 also marked the first full year of operation of OP-009N, Director, Resources Management. OP-Q09P entirely rewrote the Information and Personnel Security Program Regulation (the Navy Security Manual). oot mete os

REPRODUCED AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE ~ UNCLASSIFIED SECTION 2 OP-OO9E DEPUTY TO THE DIRECTOR OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE ANNUAL HISTORY - 1984 2.1 (U) MAJOR EVENTS 2.1.1 (U) A number of Naval Intelligence civilian personnel initiatives occurred during CY84 under the guidance of Mr. Clarke Magruder, OP-Q09E. On 21 December, the Vice Chief of Naval Operations (VCNO) approved and forwarded to the Director of Naval Administration a recommendation that the Secretariat/Headquarters Civilian Personnel Office's administrative responsibilities for the 60 civilian personnel assigned to OP-009 be transferred to the Washington Navy Yard Consolidated Civilian Personnel Office (CCPO). This recommendation was driven by the specialized conditions of employment of ONI's Excepted Service personnel which the CCPO'’s Suitland Branch Office, established in 1981 at NIC Headquarters specifically to support Navy's civilian intelligence personnel, was uniquely qualified to provide. Further, the consolidation of all Naval Intelligence civilian intelligence personnel at the CCPO offered economies of scale, facilitated creation of DON-wide intelligence career programs, enhanced employee training and mobility opportunities, and afforded intelligence managers greater flexibility. 2.1.2 (U) As a related matter, conceptual approval was obtained in October-December 1984 from the Assistant Vice Chief of Naval Operations/Director of Naval Administration, the Vice Chief of Naval Operations, and the Director, Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) General Defense Intelligence Program (GDIP) manager to shift funding for approximately 90 military and civilian intelligence personnel on the OPNAV (OP-009) staff from Program 9 to the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), Program 3, where all other Naval Intelligence personnel and programs are funded. 2.1.3 (U) A third initiative reflected concern with the potential impact upon all four Services of October 1984 legislation which provided the DIA CIVPERS management authority Similar to that of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and National Security Agency (NSA). Long standing Service difficulties in recruiting, rewarding, and retaining intelligence professionals were discussed at the Director of Central Intelligence’s (DCI's) 1984 off-site conference and the mid-November Senior Military Intelligence Officers' Conference at Offutt Air Force Base. The Services’ mutual concerns over their decreasing ability to compete for professional personnel ina strong economy and against other Intelligence Community agencies UNCi ASSIFIFD--—. ———~---- ares ms ‘

* REPRODUCED AT GOVERNMENT EXPENSE 12.2.5 (U) The Branch was active in representing ONI at professional and academic conferences which broadened our perspective on worldwide political-military issues. For example, personnel attended the annual Foreign Affairs Conference of the U.S. Naval Academy that brings together academic and government professionals to assess regional trends and developments. 12.2.6 (U) An additional major undertaking was the Branch's complete rewrite of the fifth edition of the widely read OPNAV publication, Understanding Soviet Naval Levelopments. This is the most comprehensive unclassified document of its kind published by the government. Additionally, the Branch was project manager for the Soviet Military Encyclopedia translation project. Far more than just a document translation, this effort is aimed at producing a comprehensive, unclassified source book for interpreting key Soviet military terms and concepts. Volume II, now completed, supplements the previous volume with additional entries drawn from the eight volume Soviet Military Encyclopedia published in Moscow. These volumes are a powerful tool for the analysis of Soviet military writings. 12.2.7 (U) Finally, the Branch had another very successful year as "gaining command" for the CNO Intelligence Estimates Reserve Unit 0166 (under the command of CAPT Ken Hagen (January-September 1984) and CAPT Paul Van Dermyde (October-December 1984)) and its broad range of analytic activities. Most important in this regard were the substantial improvements made to the scope and quality of ONI's Naval Intelligence Quarterly (NIQ) publication produced by this Unit and the increase in NIQ distribution from 280 to over 480 consumers.
