1. CRESTS 2. MAP W/W 3. RESERVISTS 4. MISSION PAGE. 1 WELCOME TO THIS BRIEFING ‘ABOUT THE UNITED STATES ARMY INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY COMMAND (OR INSCOM), OUR PEOPLE, AND THE JOBS WE DO. WE ARE A WORLDWIDE COMMAND WITH A WORLDWIDE MISSION. OUR SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS PERFORM INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION, COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY ACTIVITIES TO MEET HIGH-LEVEL ARMY AND NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS DURING PEACE OR WAR. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, ABOUT HALF OUR PEOPLE WORK OVERSEAS. IN ADDITION TO OUR ACTIVE DUTY SOLDIERS, RESERVE COMPONET SOLDIERS ARE READY TO JOIN INSCOM DURING ANY FUTURE TRANSITION TO WAR. THEY INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL MOBILIZATION DESIGNEES AND SOLDIERS FROM SUPPORTING UNITS. WHILE WE FOCUS ON ECHELONS ABOVE CORPS IN PROVIDING MULTI-DISCIPLINE INTELLIGENCE, SECURITY, AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE SUPPORT , INSCOM ALSO PROVIDES TECHNICAL ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE TO COMBAT AND INTELLIGENCE ASSETS AT CORPS, BRIGADE, AND DIVISION LEVEL. 02
ARL HALL STATION INTERRELATIONSHIPS PAGE. 2 _ INSCOM WAS FORMED IN 1977° FROM ASSETS OF THE ARMY SECURITY AGENCY; ARMY INTELLIGENCE AGENCY; FORCES COMMAND; AND ELEMENTS OF THE OFFICE OF. THE ARHY'S, THEN, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE. . * AS THE ARMY'S PREMIER INTELLIGENCE COLLECTORS AND PROTECTORS OF SECURITY INFORMATION, WE ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF OUR COUNTRY'S DEFENSE. WE WORK DAILY WITH MANY AGENCIES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY AND THE DEPARTMENTS OF STATE, JUSTICE, AND DEFENSE. WITHIN DOD WE WORK PRINCIPALLY WITH THE DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY, OUR SERVICE COUNTERPARTS, AND THE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR INTELLIGENCE (DCSINT). INSCOM'S HEADQUARTERS IS AT ARLINGTON HALL STATION IN 4RLINGTON, VIRGINIA. WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF SOBORDINATE UNITS LOCATED AT VANTAGE POINTS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. OUR MAJOR UNITS ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, SOUTHWEST ASIA, THE FAR EAST, CENTRAL AMERICA, AND THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. 03
9. 10. MULTI-DISCIPLINE ANTENNA PAGE. 3 THROUGHOUT THE BRIEFING, ¥ WILL USE THE TERM "MULTI-DISCIPLINE.* IN ITS BROADEST SENSE, THE TERM MEANS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING THE ARMY'S FIVE MAJOR INTELLIGENCE DISCIPLINES. MORE IMPORTANTLY WE ARE AN INTER-DISCIPLINARY COMMAND. OUR JOB, AS YOU WIL% SEE, IS TO OPERATE NUMEROUS DIVERSE ORGANIZATIONS, COORDINATING THE COLLECTION EFFORT. IN ALL OF THE FREE WORLD, WE ARE THE ONLY COMMAND TO BLEND ALL TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS. MOST OF OUR UNITS, WHETHER THEY ARE A MAJOR SUBORDINATE UNIT OR NOT, CAN BE IDENTIFIED AS EITHER SEPARATE FIELD STATIONS OR PARTS OF A MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADE. AS PART OF THE WORLDWIDE UNITED STATES COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK, OUR FIELD STATIONS PROVIDE RAPID RADIO RELAY AND SECURE COMMUNICATIONS TO HELP DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AND OUR ALLIES. 04
11. 12. 13. BUILDING DISCIPLINES FOUR HANDS PAGE. 4 OUR UNITS PROVIDE MULTI-DISCIPLINE INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY SUPPORT TO COUNTER A VARIETY OF INTELLIGENCE THREATS TO ARMY ACTIVITIES, WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE THEATERS OF ASSIGNMENT, OTHER MI GROUPS SUPPORT THE ARMY AT LARGE. % INSCOM IS UNIQUE AS BEING THE ONLY MULTI-DISCIPLINE INTELLIGENCE, SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC WARFARE SERVICE. WHEN SPEAKING OF INSCOM'S ACTIVITIES, WE INCLUDE FIVE DISCIPLINES --SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE OR SIGINT; HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, HUMINT; IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE, IMINT; MEASUREMENT AND SIGNATURE INTELLIGENCE, MASINT; AND COUNTER INTELLIGENCE AND OPERATIONS SECURITY OR CI/OPSEC. AS THE ARMY'S ELEMENT IN THE NATIONAL CRYPTOLOGIC COMMUNITY, WE ARE INTENSELY INVOLVED WITH OUR NAVY AND AIR FORCE COUNTERPARTS, AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY. 05
14. IMAGERY INTERPRETER 15. HUMINT 16. MASINT 17. CI/OPSEC 18. OPSEC PAGE. 5 IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE, AS Ts NAME HINTS, IS A METHOD BY WHICH PHOTOGRAPHS OR IMAGES FROM NATIONAL, THREATER, AND TACTICAL SYSTEMS ARE AMALYZED TO DERIVE INTELLIGENCE THAT OFTEN Is NOT OBTAINABLE ANY OTHER WAY. % HUMAN INTELLIGENCE IS THE CATEGORY OF INTELLIGENCE DERIVED FROM HUMAN SOURCES. MEASUREMENT AND SIGNATURE INTELLIGENCE, IS OUR NEWEST DISCIPLINE. OUR FINAL FIELD IS COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AND OPERATIONS SECURITY SUPPORT. COUNTERINTELLIGENCE COVERS ACITIVITIES DEVOTED TO DESTROYING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HOSTILE FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES. WE ALSO PROTECT INFORMATION AGAINST ESPIONAGE, PERSONNEL AGAINST SUBVERSION, AND INSTALLATIONS AGAINST SABOTAGE. THE SECOND PART, SUPPORT THAT INSCOM PROVIDES TO ENHANCE THE ARMY'S OPERATIONS SECURITY, IS THE PROCESS OF DENYING ADVERSARIES INFORMATICN ABOUT FRIENDLY CAPABILITIES AND INTENTIONS. WE DO THIS BY HELPING UNIT AND 06

SOLDIERS INSCOM WOMAN THEATER UNITS PAGE. 6 INSTALLATION COMMANDERS AT ALL LEVELS IN IDENTIFYING, CONTROLLING, AND PROTECTING INDICATORS THAT ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH PLANNING AND CONDUCTING MILITARY OPERATIONS. TO SUMMARIZE CI AND OPSEC SUPPORT IN ONE SENTENCE -~ THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SAFEGUARD THE ARMY'S INTENTIONS AND CAPABILITIES FROM OUR ENEMIES. THIS IS THE BASIC PICTURE OF INSCOM IN A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR BEGINNINGS, OUR PARTNERS, AND WHAT WE DO. BUT INSCOM IS MORE THAN THIS. OUR PEOPLE DO UNIQUE AND VITAL JOBS. IN A SHORT BRIEFING SUCH AS THIS WE CAN NOT TELL YOU ABOUT ALL OF OUR GNITS OR EVERYTHING WE DO, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF OUR MORE INTERESTING FACETS. AS I JUST MENTIONED, OUR MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADES PROVIDE MOULTI- DISCIPLINE INTELLIGENCE AND SECORITY SUPPORT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE THEATERS OF ASSIGNMENT OR TO THE ARMY AT LARGE. 07
22. 23. 24. 25. 501ST LOW INTENSITY MI BN (LI) C-12 AIRCRAFT PAGE. 7 — OUR MILITARY INTELLIGENCE -UNITS IN KOREA ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR MULTI- DISCIPLINE ORGANIZATIONS. THESE UNITS ARE ON THE FRONT LINE OF AMERICA'S DEFENSE. WORKING TODAY IN A COMBAT SETTING, THESE UNITS ARE A WELL-BALANCED BLEND OF TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE SPECIALISTS AND ASSETS. SIMILAR UNITS ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, JAPAN, PANAMA, AND IN THE UNITED STATES. ONE OF INSCOM'S NEWEST EFFORTS IS THE CHALLENGE OF LOW-INTENSITY CONFLICT. WE HAVE ACTIVATED A NEW TYPE OF INTELLIGENCE UNIT. THE UNIT IS TAILORED FOR USE IN CONTINGENCY SITUATIONS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. IN SUPPORT OF THE NEW UNIT, WE'VE BEEN CONDUCTING AN EXTENSIVE EVALUATION OF SEVERAL AIRBORNE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS. THE RESULTS SO FAR INDICATE THEY WILL BE ESPECIALLY EFFECTIVE DURING LOW-~ INTENSITY CONFLICTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. 08
26. 27; 28. 29. 30. 513TH EXERCISE GRENADA TANK 9O02ND MI GP PAGE. 8 IN THE ONITED STATES, THE-S13TH MI BRIGADE IS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING. ITS UNITS ARE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CONTINENTAL ONITED STATES. THE 513TH HAS ONE OF OUR MOS®: EXTENSIVE EXERCISE SCHEDULES. THE BRIGADE PARTICIPATED, ALONG WITH SEVERAL ARAB NATIONS, IN EXERCISE BRIGHT STAR IN THE EYGPTIAN DESERT. BECAUSE ELEMENTS OF THE 513TH PARTICIPATED IN GRENADA, THEY ARE THE ONLY SOLDIERS AUTHORIZED TO WEAR THE INSCOM PATCH AS A COMBAT UNIT PATCH. THE FOREIGN MATERIEL INTELLIGENCE GROUP EXPLOITS SOVIET EQUIPMENT AND OTHER POREIGN MATERIAL. THE 9QO2ND MI GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES IS INVOLVED IN TECHNICAL SURVEILLANCE COUNTERMEASURES AND POLYGRAPH OPERATIONS. THE GROUP PROVIDES COUNTER INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TO NEARLY EVERY “ARMY INSTALLATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 03
31: SPECIAL UNITS 32. USARI 33. STUDENTS 34. LIBRARY PAGE. 9 INSCOM ALSO HAS UNITS THAT ARE NOT FIELD STATIONS OR MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADES. ALTHOUGH THESE. ONITS DO NOT PERFORM WHAT MANY PEOPLE THINK OF AS TRADITIONAL INTELLIGENCE MISSIONS, THEY SERVE A VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTION IN MEETING INSCOM'S MISSION. te A FEW, AMONG OUR MANY UNITS IN EUROPE, ARE NON-TRADITIONAL INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATIONS. ONE OF THESE UNITS IS THE UNITED STATES ARMY RUSSIAN INSTITUTE, LOCATED IN PICTURESQUE GARMISCH, GERMANY. THE INSTITUTE TRAINS SOVIET AREA SPECIALISTS FOR THE UNITED STATES. THE SCHOOL'S PROGRAM INCLUDES SOVIET AREA STUDIES, AND TWO YEARS UF ADVANCED RUSSIAN LANGUAGE TRAINING. THE SCHOOL HAS A 30,000 VOLUME LIBRARY, 65 PERCENT OF WHICH IS IN RUSSIAN. SOME OF THE LIBRARY'S HOLDINGS ARE UNIQUE IN THE FREE WORLD. A PARALLEL EFFORT IS OUR FOREIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING CENTER IN MUNICH WHERE SOLDIERS COME FROM ALL OVER EUROPE FOR REFRESHER TRAINING. 10

SMILE PAGE. 11 WITH NINE SUBORDINATE SPECIAL SECURITY COMMANDS AND DETACHMENTS WORLDWIDE, THE GROUP ALSO ADVISES AND ASSISTS ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENT UNITS AND ARMY CONTRACTORS WORLDWIDE. WHETHER AT A MILITARY INTELLIGENCE BRIGADE, A TACTICAL SUPPORT UNIT, OR ANY OF OUR UNITS, SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS THROUGHOUT INSCOM ARE SUCCESSFULLY CONFRONTING AN INCREASINGLY COMPLEX CHALLENGE. WE ARE CONFIDENT WO TASK IS TOO GREAT. THROUGH CREATIVE MANAGEMENT OF OUR RESOURCES WITHIN MANPOWER AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, WE ARE INCREASING OUR CAPABILITIES IN EVERY INTELLIGENCE DISCIPLINE. A MAJOR CHALLENGE FACES US IN PREPARING FOR OUR MOVE TO FORT BELVOIR. WE TOOK A LARGE FIRST STEP EARLIER WHEN WE CONSOLIDATED OUR OPERATIONS FROM FORT MEADE TO ARLINGTON HALL STATION. CHARGED WITH IMPROVING ARMY INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES, INSCOM HAS SUCCESSFOLLY FUSED MANY FUNCTIONS INTO A MULTI- DISCIPLINE COLLECTION, AND COUNTER- INTELLIGENCE EFFORT. 12
