The Objective:: of the Air Research Division are:
1. To undertake the USP" s only detailed research and
analysis of the physical, economic, sociological, psychological,
and political vulner_~bilities of potential enemy target
complexes. Each target complex analysis is a definitive study
comprising ten basic reports and a Target Information Sheet,
which is a synthesis of the information presented in the basic
reports. Subjects covered in each target complex analysis are:
a. Economic
h. Industry
c. Utilities
d. Transportation
e. Physical Characteristics
f. Population
Fire susceptibility
h. Psychological, sociological, and
political
2. To examine significant materials available, both
foreign and domestic, which are relevant to target complex
research. These findings are used in the preparation of
extracts and digests of information contained in the books,
periodicals, reports, maps, or photographs reviewed for
this purpose. These findings are prepared in a form suit-
able for incorporation into the USAF Bombing, Encyclopedia
or for e ploitation by other interested USU agencies.
3. To undertake additional rese^rch assignments which (a)
bear upon the program, (b) are assigned by the Director of
Intelligence and (c) are the result of the D/I approved request of
other agencies.
