GRILL FLAME Update
for
BG Flynn,

1900
(U)
b.
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,
9Q2d 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
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.
