results.
A
second
advantage
of
this
organizational
approach
is
that,
just
as
traditional
HUMINT
collectors
have
long
recognized,
differ ent
observers
have
a
natural
tendency
t o
report
on
different" aspects
of
a
target
site
or
event,
i.e.
witnesses
^acn
give
a
different
version
according
to
thdir
perspectiv e
.
Each
perspective
may
be
correct,

T s
'rTecessa r^r^to
correlate
informatio n
to
form
a
clear
and
complete
picture "6T
the
site
or
event.
Thirdly,
as
with
HUMINT
sources,
PSIINT
operatives
have
differing
talent s
and
abilitie s:
one
viewer
may
have
affinity
for
a
particular
style* of
target ing
methodology
or
is
perhaps
esp'ecratly
a^uf*ate
Tn
coTTe^TTng
against
cert ain
types
of
inte lligence,
i.e.
complex
technology,
structural
layout,
spa tial
an d/or
temporal
loc ation
("search”
mode),
etc.;
a
second
viewer
'may~Ke~ strong
in
otKer
areas
than
those
of
the
first,
while
a
third
may
be
proficient
in
areas
that
are difficult
for
either
of
the
first
two
to
deal
with,
and
so
forth.
In
the
concept
of
"al l-source
intelligence ."
traditional
intelligence
discipl ihes
"are
used
together
to
complement
each
o_t_he r
and
cover
e ach
others'
weaknes ses.
In
remote
viewing
the
same
idea
exists,
if
presently
on
a
smaller
scale.
(S/NOFORN/WNINTEL)
Ultimately,
unit
readiness
would
be
significantly degraded
by
either
a
smaller
organization
or
lower
manning
levels.
Though
on-hand
personnel
are
presently
approaching
operational
effectiveness
in
their
training
program,
even
when
they
are
fully
trained
the
project
could
expect
intermittent
interruptions
in
operational
capability.
Simply
because
the
six-vicwer/three- int erviewer
threshold
has
not
yet
been
achieved
periods
will
inevitably
occur
when
either
no
viewers
or
no
interviewers
are
available.
When
all
factors
are
considered,
it
is
apparent
that
the
proposed
12-person
organization
is
the
mini mum
accpptah lp
in
insuring
effective,
uninterrupted
operational
readiness
for
a
PSIINT
collection
project.
For
the
sake
of
dependable,
quality
operational
capability
it
is
recommended
that
the
organization
be
approved
at
this
minimum
acceptable
level.
In
the
interim,
DSSP
will
continue
to
function
as
an
intelligence
collection
effort
using
available resources.
