MEADE, MARYLAND 20758 TAGPA-F-OPO 22 September 1982 MEMROANDUM FOR: LTC Jachim SUBJECT: Detachment G Reorganization (U) 1. (C) PURPOSE. To explore several cover options available to Detachment G to protect its true mission and operations from compromise under a pending reorganization. 2. (U) BACKGROUND. a.» (S) The US Congress ‘has denied NFIB money to the Army in the FY 83 budget to continue investigating the parapsychological (psi) phenono-~ mom. (Evidently, the US Congress considers the DIA GRILL FLAME Program sufficient for this purpose.) This action causes INSCOM to make a deci-~ sion regarding the future of Detachment G after a 30 September 1982 funds cut-off date. b. (S) The CG, INSCOM has decided to continue using INSCOM psi resources in an intelligence collection role without NFIB money. However, a decision has not been made regarding what program monies will be used to fund this $250,000 effort in FY 83. t c. (S) Inasmuch as funding will drive the Army's psi effort, several cover options are offered for examination by INSCOM decision makers, 3. (U) REDESIGNATION/REASSIGNMENT OPTIONS. a. (S) NSA Sponsorship. If NSA sponsorship of the Army psi program is obtained the resources in Det G could become satellites of either the CONUS MI Group or the 902d MI Group. (1) (S) The CONUS MI Group is the housekeeping organization INTEGRATE for Army personnel working at NSA. The personnel in Det G could be INT? transferred to the CONUS MI Group to form another detachment entitled NSA the "Strategic Systems Planning Detachment", with a nickname to repre-~ sent the true mission. TDA spaces and personnel, administration, and logistic support could be provided from the CONUS MI Group. Funding would be provided by the NSA Sponsor. Operational control and tasking/reporting would be exercised by the CG, INSCOM through INSCOM LNO, NSA. Information would be shared with NSA.

This same support, plus logistic support if necessary, could be provided .to personnel trans- ferred from Det G to the 902d MI Group with duty at NSA. The personnel from Det G could form a sixth Division in SSD entitled the "Security Systems Planning and Review Division," with a nickname to represent the true mission. TDA spaces and personnel, administration, and logistic sup- port could be provided from the SSD. Funding would be provided by the NSA sponsor, Operational control and tasking/reporting would be exercised by the CG, INSCOM through the INSCOM LNO, NSA. Information would be shared with NSA. b, (S) 902d MI Group Sponsorship. If NSA sponsorship is not con- sidered a viable option, Det G personnel could still be transferred to the 902d MI Group to form a sixth division in the SSP, entitled the "Security Systems Planning and Review Division", with a nickname to represent the true mission. The new division would receive TDA spaces and funding, personnel, administration and logistical support from SSD. Operational Control would be exercised by the CG, INSCOM through an ADCSOPS/HUMINT LNO. e. (S) ACDSOPS/OPSEC Sponsorship. The last reassignment option con- sidered involves transferring DET G personnel to the USAINSCOM HQ Support Detachment at FGGM, with duty as a new division under the ADCSOPS/OPSEC. The new division would be called the "Security Readiness and Mobilizaion Planning Division" with a nickname to represent the true mission. Personnel, administration, and logistic support would be provided by HSD. Operational control would be exercised by the CG, INSCOM through an ; ADCSOPS/HUMINT LNO. 4, (C) PERSONNEL SUPPORT OPTIONS. Currently Great Skill Program members in Det G are serviced by the Administrative Survey Detachment (ASD), while other Det G “open system" personnel are serviced by the Ops Group personnel section. In a reorganization, Great Skill Program members would continue to be serviced by ASD. Open system personnel could elther be serviced by the joined organization (options in para 3 above) or be placed on the DA Special Roster (DASR) and serviced by ASD. I recommend everyone be ser- vieed by ASD. 5. (S) COVER FOR STATUS. Regardless of the redesignation/reassignment option selected, Det G must completely sever all direct ties with Project GRILL FLAME, ADCSOPS/HUMINT, Ops Group, and the designation "Det G". Morsover, once a decision is made to assign Det G personnel to another organization in a cover status, a cover story must be carefully written and implemented. Ideally, a cover front, consisting of at least one officer and a secretary, should be used to "live the cover" for the new organiza- tion, @.8., reapond to inquiries, attend meetings, provide cover mission, organization, and functions briefings, discuss the cover mission in suf- ficient detail to satisfy normal questions, and generally act as a buffer Approved For Release 2003/09/1 Q 1 GIA-F
