REFERENCE: Letter from Chesapeake Bay Roost, Association
of Old Crows (AOC), 29 May 1984 (attached)
1. Action Requested: Endorsement of Chesapeake Bay Roost's nomination
of Lt Gen surer for award of AOC's Gold Medal of Electronic Warfare (EW).
2. Background: The AOC is a combined government/industry/academia
association dedicated to the advancement of EW capabilities and activities.
At its annual technical symposium and convention (a national event normally
held in October) the Association presents a series of awards for various
levels and types of accomplishment in the field of EW. The AOC Baltimore
Chapter, known as the Chesapeake Bay Roost (all AOC chapters are designated
"Roosts"), has nominated Lt Gen Faurer for AOC's highest general award, the
Gold Medal of EW. By the reference, the chapter has solicited DCI support for
the nomination.
3. Discussion: The proposed award is entirely appropriate from an IC
point of view. No:E only has Lt Gen Faurer done a great deal for EW in a
technical and organizational sense, but also this award would reflect well
upon the IC within the operational side of the military. It would also be
appropriate for the D/ICS to support the nomination.
4. Recommendation: D/ICS and DCI approve and sign the attached letters
of support.

I would like to add my letter of support to the many I am sure you have
already received for the award of AOC's Gold Medal of Electronic Warfare to
Lieutenant General Faurer. Nothing could be more fitting or proper than this
recognition of General Faurer's many and varied accomplishments during a long
and distinguished career.
From my particular perspective, I am especially impressed not only with
General Faurer's many contributions in the form of technical support to EW,
but even more so with his efforts to support tactical SIGINT/EW units and
activities. With the ever-increasing dimensions of the electronic
battlefield, in terms of both magnitude and complexity of the target
environment, these tactical units are increasingly dependent on signals
intelligence support, and General Faurer has taken the steps to give it to
them. He has also been in the forefront of the Intelligence Community's
efforts to support the difficult and demanding military strategy of C3
countermeasures.
I consider it to be a personal and professional privilege to have been
associated with General Faurer. He is a true leader, both organizationally
and technologically, and is eminently deserving of this award.
Sincerely,

I understand that the Chesapeake Bay Roost has nominated Lieutenant
General Lincoln D. Faurer for the Association of Old Crows' Gold Medal of
Electronic Warfare. I wholeheartedly endorse this nomination.
General Faurer's astute management, acute insight, driving initiative, and
ceaseless pursuit of professional excellence have combined over the years to
greatly enhance US intelligence capabilities and activities, not only in his
present position as Director, NSA, but also in many previous key assignments
within NATO, USEUCOM, and DIA. A major beneficiary of his efforts has been
the US electronic warfare community. Electronic Warfare is critical on the
modern battlefield; therefore, I believe it is fair to say that General Faurer
has made a significant contribution to our nation's military capabilities.
Lieutenant General Faurer is truly one of our most distinguished leaders
not only in intelligence, but also in the wide-ranging world of electronics
and the military applications thereof. I feel privileged to have the
opportunity to support his nomination for this well-deserved award.
Sincerely,
W %VIRIbm J. Casey

Mr. William J. Casey
Director,
Central.Intelligence Agency.
McLean, VA 22101
Dear Mr. Casey,
The Chesapeake Bay Roost, Association of Old Crows,
has nominated Lieutenant D. Faurer, Director, National
Security Agency, for the Assocaition of Old Crows' Cold
Medal of Electronic Warfare Award for 1984. The Cold
Medal is the annual award presented by the Association
for outstanding advances -and contributions in any or
all fields of electronic warfate. The competition for
this award is traditionally quite keen.
We believe General Faurer!s efforts- in Electronic Warfare are most
exceptional and deserve recognition in this forum. As the Director of
NSA, and during his previous assignments at NATO, the U.S. European
Command and the Defense Intelligence Agency, he has worked hard to enhance
the electronic warfare capability of the United States. Under his astute
leadership, the National Security Agency is significantly improving effec-
tive intelligence support to electronic warfare planning while ensuring
that such support is tailored to the operational needs of Field Commanders.
It would be most helpful if you would originate a letter of support
for this nomination if you agree with our recommendation and feel you are
in a position to do so. The closing date for our nomination is 15 June
1984; we would like to have letters of support in our hands by 10 June
if at al 1 e. The response to this request should be addressed to
AOC Awards Committee Chairman, Westinghouse Electric
corporation, . Box 746, MS426, Baltimore, Maryland 21203.
The letter of support should identify the personal and professional
attributes of the awardee in respect to his dedication to electronic
warfare. Details of accomplishment from first-hand observation are most
useful as well as some indication of the period of time' over which these
contributions occurred. An assessment of the effects or impact on the
electronic warfare community or on military operations and capabilities,
on changes in methodology, attitudes or policies should also be included.
As a matter of possible interest, two letters previously used to support
AOC Medal nominations are attached.

It is with great pleasure that I indorse the nomination of Mal Gen
Doyle Larson for the Association of Old Crows' Gold Medal of
Electronic Warfare. We in the EW business know first-hand the many
significant contributions Doyle has made toward providing the
United States an improved Command, Control, and Coaanunicaticns
Countermeasures (C3CM) capability in the last several years.
General Larson is not only the first Commander of the Air Fcrce's
Electronic Security Command (ESC), but also was a prime mover in
its formation. Through his innovation, ESC now has the specific
C3CM charter for the Air Force and the concomitant responsici?it3
to enhance employment of our military systems. To monitor this
important charter, he established an ESC directorate level cffice
to consolidate C3CM support including development of a detailed
all-source data base.
General Larson has been'the key articulator of requirements fcr
intelligence support to U.S. and allied EW and C3CM combat ccera-
tions. He developed a series of briefings to make key naticral
decision-makers aware of the Soviet threat with particular ephasis
on Radio Electronic Combat (REC) doctrine.

General Larson has been an ardent and forceful advocate of AOC
activities for many years. 'This support, coupled with his military
leadership role as the number one advocate of C3CM, make General
Larson the natural recipient of this year's Association of Old Crows'
Gold Medal of Electronic Warfare.

Attention: Chairman, 1983 AOC Awards Committee
Dear Mr. Chairman:
It is with,very genuine enthusiasm and deep pleasure that I endorse the
nomination of Major General Albert N. Stubblebine II, USA, for the 1983
ADC Medal of Electronic Warfare.
General Stubblebine was one of the first of our national leaders to
recognize and support the recent, rapid development of vastly improved
Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities and the time criticality and
importance of quickly understanding, exploiting and introducing these
high leverage systems/equipments into Army and Joint Service plans and
operations. His foresight, extraordinary talents and enthusiasm, not
only in the leadership of the Intelligence and Security Command, but in
much broader aspects and implications of Integrating EW capabilities
with other intelligence sources extending throughout the pervasive
Command, Control and Communication/Intelligence (C3i) functions has
singularly provided aggressive significant far reaching focus and
direction throughout the military services.
His personal conviction, willingness and outstanding ability to communi-
cate this important message and initihte and participate in many inter-
changes of EW problems, needs, alternatives, priorities, etc. from the
highest levels to the broadest bases of responsible and interested
individuals and agencies has been without parallel.
General Stubblebine's many military achievements are well recognized;
however, his greatest contribution may well be his exceptional profes-
sional capability and dedicated, tireless effor-s in the all so important
area of communication throughout the entire EW Industry, the Department
of Defense, NATO and U.S. Allies. A large number of these efforts to
bring these new EW capabilities to the attention of the Ed community,
develop an understanding of the operational impact and encourage the
broadest, effective support were conducted during AOC professional
symposia in addition to other professional and government sponsored
gatherings.
General Stubblebine is most worthy of the recognition the ACC could
bestow with this award.
