(U) Discrete State: <A type of psychoenergetic activity in which the source perceives his consciousness to be located at the target. 3. (S8/CL-2/NOFORN) MILITARY OBJECTIVE: Tt is the objective of these procedures to maintain the quality of psychoenergetic training and applications so that CENTER LANE will continue to support the broad spectrum of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements in collection, target acquisition, and deception. 4, (S/CL-3/NOFORN) MILITARY APPLICATIONS: CENTER LANE applications of psychoenergetics include “but are not Limited bo: (1) targeting of key enemy military personnel from covert agents to key battle commanders, (2) monitoring hostile military movements, lines of communication, and specific technologies, (3) detecting changes in the state of military units, (4) detecting and assessing hostile intelligence efforts targeted against friendly units/misstions, and (5) detecting and assessing hostile technological capabilities in specific locations. Since US Army personnel, units, materiel, and operations are subject to a similar hostile intelligence service threat, CENTER LANE can assist in devising countermeasures to eliminate or reduce vulnerabilities. oar (S/CL-~2/NOFORN) APPROVAL HISTORY: a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Concept Approval: The Commander, US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) approved in principle the US Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) involvement in the project GRILL FLAME; which began in April 1978 (GRILL FLAME was the predecessor to the CENTRR LANE Project). In May 1978, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACST) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME applications, Effective 14 January 1981, by approval of Approved For Release 2 fod foi0€ 3 iQifSPs5-00788R001500040003-0

Program management for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective Ll February 1981. OACSI, DAMI-ISH remained the Army focal point for poltcy matters and interlace at the national level. Overall DoD responsibility resided with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Also in 1981, a joint services GRILL FLAME Committee consisting of DIA, the US Air Force and US Army was formed. Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that the Atr Force withdraw from the committee and all psychoenergetic programs. A comprehensive program was designed to determine the operational parameters and usefulness of psychoenergetics and assess the threat these phenomena posed to national security. At that time DIA was R&D oriented and INSCOM's GRILL FLAME Project was appltcations ortlented. In the FY83 DoD budget review the Budget Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence curtailed all psychoenergetic activities funded by the Army in the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), but directed that DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that all future Army funding be budgeted outside the NFIP. [NSCOM rerminated formal involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY 82; in the fall of 1982, in keeping with congressional desires, the Commanding General TNSCOM provided funding from Security and [Investigative Activities (S&TA) monies, and continued its efforts under a provisional compartmented SAP nicknamed CENTER LANE, On 1 September 1983, the Secretary of the Army approved continued Army participation in CENTER LANE activities within INSCOM and with appropriate contractors in a cooperative effort FOIAb5 with DIA. ARMY 6. (8/CL-3/NOFORN) SELECTION OF PERSONNEL: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Current Selection Criteria: After over a year of participation within the psychoenergetic project, source personnel were tested by the INSCOM Staff Psychologist in an attempt to determine a suitable profile by which further barttecipants could be tdentified. The specific tests administered were (see Appendix B for test descriptions): (1) The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPT). Approved For Release rt ol FQ BPP PE 007seR001500040003-0

(3) Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B), (4) California Psychological Inventory (CPI). (5) Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (FPPS). (6) Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). For the most part, the group presented itself as emotionally stable with no marked trends, There did appear to be an interesting similarity in defensive style, a tending toward artistic, aesthetic, and cuttural interests, and an introversive style, of emotional expression, From these test results the INSCOM Staff Psychologist constructed a test that may be used as an initial screening tool in the selection of new psychoenergetic participants. This new test is called the INSCOM Factor Questionnaire. This instrument is used to compare individuals with CENTER LANE sources, A high score suggests that individuals have similar characteristics to operational personnel and may be potential candidates for the project. A score of 20 orf higher is considered to be similar to CENTER LANE personnel, Individuals who score within the parameters specified by the INSCOM psychologist would then receive personal ey interviews with CENTER LANE Project personnel. From these interviews new project participants would be selected and trained. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Projected Selection Criteria: SRI-I has been contracted to investigate and report on a particular aspect of psychoenergetics relating to operational management of personnel; that is, to determine if a personality testing technique can be created which, when applied to a general population, will delineate specific individuals who exhibit a higher depree of talent for psychoenergetic abilities. Cc. (S/CL~2/NOFORN) Voluntary Consent: As required under the regulations governing “fliman Use" (see para 2., Appendix A), all personnel operate on a strictly voluntary basis, and may withdraw at any time without any form of prejudicial action or consideration directed against them, Further, participants are informed of any known or potential risks that might be inherent in program participation. This is accomplished through the use of a verbal briefing from a knowledgeable CENTER LANE official, and the execution of a personalized Statement of Consent form outlining all pertinent information and considerations. The voluntary consent requirement pertains to individuals assigned to the CENTER LANE Project and contractors/consultants. A ‘Wenn’ sample of the voluntary consent form is attached as Inclosure 5, Appendix A. Approved For Release “OLCRET er
s : ‘Approved For Release “OECRET.. i. (S/CL=-1/NOFORN) TRAINING PROCEDURES: To provide a framework for the standardizing of the task of psychoenergetic learning, a number of methodologies are being utilized and eonducted within the CENTER LANE Project. ‘These are as follows: a. (S/CL-3/NOPORN) Orientation Testing/Training: (1) Purpose: To provide new personnel with an introduction to training and applications procedures, (2) Administered hy: CENTER LANE Projeet personnel and selected contractor and subcontractors. (3) Location: Fort George G. Meade, Maryland and other designated Locations. e (4) Duration: One to six months, (5) Description of Procedures: Orientation testing/training is developed from the practical application of state-of~the-art psychoenergetic technology drawn from academic institutions, sctentific laboratories, and research establishments around the world. Tt is an eclectic approach, using those methods which have applications potential. Orientation testing is designed to determine if new personnel have aptitudes which would be of operational value and could be developed through training. This orientation testing consists of a series of controllec exercises in psychoenergetic Funetioning. New personnel may be asked to attempt to perceive, communicate with, and/or perturb characteristics of a designated target, person, or event remote in space and/or time from that individual. Orientation training is eomposed of practical exercises in Remote Viewing, Lectures, literature review, and observation of others. Tt includes the use of locaily sienificant sites, as well as more remote geographical locations as targets. A target pool consists of a controlled group of sites or tarpets and their associated targeting information. Prior to the beginning of a training session, a target is randomly selected from this target pool. Information available concerning the target is kept from the trainee until after the session. (6) Training Session Preliminaries: Before a first training session is scheduled, the person being trained is oriented fully to the procedure to be followed by the monitor, The trainee is instructed that he or she should state only raw perceptions, since experience has shown that specific definitions are quite often wrong while initial raw perception tends to be correct, Personnel being trained are always encouraged to express their feelings and ideas for enhancing all aspects of the psychoenergetics collection process, Approved For Release 208 Flo ¢ Sf QDPSF-00788R001500040003-0
