The purpose
of approach
A-l
is
to provide
a direct
visual
reminder
of
the actual
practice
task.
The purpose
of
approach
A-2
is
to gain
experience
with tightly controlled target packages
as
would
be encountered
in research projects
or
in
some application
s i tuat i ons
.
3.
(C/NF)
In
both
of
the above target control
approaches,
only the branch chief
or
his designee
will
access
the target envelope
for any purpose,
including
target
feedback.
Should any need for exceptions
arise,
these exceptions and their purpose
will
clearly be recorded
in
the project
files
and
will
be approved
in advance by the
branch
chief.

1.
( S/SG/NF/L IMD IS
)
All
sessions
will
have
standard questions
(verbal
or
written)
that
will
be
provided
to
the
individual
to
help
initiate
the remote
viewing process
and
to provide
task
focus.
These questions
will
generally be
the
same
for
all
practice projects.
However,
there may
be differences
in
emphasis
(specified
in
advance)
in
order
to minimise project
time
and
to focus
in
on
target aspects
of prime
interest.
The general
questions
(or requests)
provided
are
at Appendix
A and are summarised
as
follows:
a.
(S/NF)
Descr i^be_key_target_features^
(Include
forms,
shapes,
special
aspects,
motion/dynamics,
color .
)
b.
(S/NF)
ld©£ ti^fy_key_target _con tent^
(Include meaning,
purpose,
function,
nature
of activity.)

Data generated should
be
identified
or
listed,
whenever
possible,
in order
of
importance
or
highest
relevance.
In
the case
of
target
features,
some
targets
may also have

(e.g.,

,
c.
(S/NF)
Identify specific features
or
attributes
(such
as
color dominance
or
natural /man-made
aspects
)
3.
(S/NF)
If
the
target
is
a personality,
the
generic questions
would obviously emphasise personality
related
issues
(e.g.,
describe state
of
health,
physical
features).
Naturally,
if
the
location
of
the target
personality
is
important,
then
the
target feature questions
as
in
l.a.
above apply as
well.
4.
(C/NF)
For
any specific
task,
a simplified
task
sheet may
be prepared
in
lieu
of
the generic
task
sheet
in order
to focus
instructions
and
task
objectives.

The
addit ional
specifics
cited above
do
not change
the session class
(i.e.,
a class

,
since
no target
information
has
been
provided.
Additional
sessions/phases may be
desired,
depending
on
initial
results
or specific

objectives.

TARGETING:
( S/SG/NE/L IMD IS )
For
the purpose
of
this SPT
series,
several
targeting techniques
will
be
used.
These
include encrypted coordinates,
photo target designators
(PT-XXXX)
,
and
various abstract terms
(e.g.
,
Personality
”A”).
Specific targeting techniques
will

Two types
of summaries

at
the target envelope without
prior approval
from the branch chief.
