BACKGROUND.
USAINSCOM 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
psychoenergetics;
it
is
likely
they
will
continue
to
task
the
system.
Since
INSCOM
has
disestablished
CENTER
LANE,
existing
resources
must
be
put
