BACKGROUND.
USAINSC0M has
invested considerable
effort
and
resources
since
1977
to
develop
an
operational
psychoenergetic
capability.
Intelligence
consumers
in
the
US
Army,
US
Air
Force ,
DIA,
NSA,
CIA,
and NSC
have
all
tasked
this
capability
to
augment
other
intelligence systems.
These
agencies
have recognized
the
value and potential
of
the
intelligence application of psychoenerget ic6
;
It
is
likely
they will
continue
to
task
the
system.
Since
INSCOM
has
disestablished
CENTER
LANE,
existing
resources
must
be
put
under

operational control

the
Intelligence Community psychoenereeti
capability will
cease

The
transfer
of
1CLP
to DIA OPCON must
be done
in
such
a way
as
to maintain continuity and momentum of effort
as well
as state-of-the-art expertise.
