2. Mission. To provide instruction in all of the activities
charged to OSO and to OFC, in order to qualify personnel for the pla.n.-
ning, conduct, and administration of such activities in the field and
in headquarters. A related mission is to evaluate the work of students
while in training.
3. Instructional Policies.
a. The following is the fundamental pattern of the instruc-
tion employed by TRD in all training.
(1) Orientation. This phase covers general subject
background data necessary to prepare the student for the
deta,ale(q investigation and study to follow.
(2) Indoctrination in principles and methods. This
phase is a. continuation of orientation but becomes specific
rather than general and is designed to teach the student to
think for himself, instead of simply to learn "school solu-
tions."
(3) Application. In this phase students are given the
opportunity to apply in practical laboratory work what they
have learned.
(4) Evaluation. This is a continuing process on the
part of the instructors -throughout all phases of instruction.
It is designed to measure the degree of instruction absorbed
by each student as well as to analyze the traits and charac-
teristics of the student while in training. Evaluation is
secondary to instruction but is, nevertheless, a necessary
and vital adjunct to the training mission,
b. To be effective, training must reflect the actual condi-
tions of the operational, planning, and administrative divisions,
both in the field and in headquarters. This is necessary to'keep
the instruction alive, realistic, and current. It is, conse-
quently, of vital interest to TRD that there be close liaison and
cooperation between it and the divisions of OSO and OPC.

dents and to provide as much individual attention an possible.
d. TRD attempts to keep the divisions informed of the prog-
ress of their students at all times.
e. Any student who is found guilty of cheating will at once

remind students that all, training is conducted on an individual
honor system.
f. The following procedure for handling guest participants
in TRD instruction has been established,
(1) General. It is the policy of TRD in the preparation
and presentation of instruction that, insofar as possible,
advantage will be taken of the special. experience and. abili-
ties of persons outside TRD, who may be available as training
consultants on specific problems or as guest lecturers, in
order that trainees may have the benefit of current field and
headquarters practices, procedures, and conditions as well. as
of instruction in technical subject; presented by persons
directly concerned with current operations. These persons
may be staff members of CIA, consultants to CIA, or appro-
priately approved personnel employed by other government agen-
cies or departments.
(2) Recruitment.
(a) CIA Staff Members and Consultants. All requests
for training assistance involving the use of any CIA staff
member or consultant will be prepared in duplicate on
