FROM : Leslie C. Dirks
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
SUBJECT : Organizational and Personnel Changes Within the National
Photographic Interpretation Center
1. As you know, a comprehensive program is underway to upgrade the
technical capabilities of the National Photographic Interpretation Center.
In order to facilitate the conduct of that program, improve current opera-
tional support and to provide a structure better suited for the future,
there are a number of organizational changes and related personnel assign-
mehts which I recommend. The organizational changes will: 0
a. Place exploitation operational support to NPIC imagery
analysts, and the like services of common concern that are pro-
vided to other elements of the imagery exploitation community,
into one group vice the three organizations which currently
contain these functions. The new group will be called the
Operations Support Group. Internally it will be structured to
consolidate related functions, Technical Services, Data Ser-
vices and Production Services (Reference, Graphics, Photo and
Printing).
b. Consolidate NPIC technical analysis capability with the
formation of a Research and Analysis Division in the NPIC De-
velopment Program which itself will be redesignated the Develop-
ment Programs Group. Currently, this important analysis function
is split between the NPIC Development Program and the Technical
Services Group.
c. Reallocate the functions, (1) Programming and Budgeting,
(2) Configuration Management and (3) Integration of New Capa-
bilities from the existing Control and Integration Staff. Pro-
gramming and Budgeting to be a separate function reporting to
the Director, NPIC. Configuration Management and Integration
activities to be clearly separated into current and future (under
development) capabilities. The model to be used is the same as
has been highly successful in the CTL Program.

d. Clarify certain external interface channels by pro-
viding a modest increase in the staff of the Director. This
is to provide a more efficient and coordinated response to
policy and requirements issues as opposed to purely technical
interfaces.

are shown as attachments. F-1
