Expressed strong concern that OPSEC support for the program did not appear to be making any progress. Instructed LTC Watt to keep in close touch with COL Pattakos, CDR, 902d MIG, to insure that the stated pace for OPSEC coverage was being maintained. c. Directed that no one not assigned to INSCOM should be "read on" to our program unless permission was first obtained from OACSI. LTC Watt assured him that was the procedure already being used. BG Flynn stated that for INSCOM personnel that authority could be granted by himself, COL (P) Wilmot, or COL White. d. Directed LTC Watt to submit some awards for personnel involved in the project who were deserving. BG Flynn requested that the awards be submitted within 30 days. 6. (U) Finally, we discussed the staff action paper concerning the establishing of a task force to carry on the GRILL FLAME effort. BG Flynn stated he approved the paper but was concerned that some staff element might be "caught short" because they would have to give up the bodies and yet keep the space. The CofS expressed his concern that the only way for the project to be carried out successfully was to dedicate the personnel to the program for the next 18 months and that the various elements would have to make the necessary adjustments. BG Flynn eventually agreed with the rationale and informed everyone to keep moving ahead.
