SUBJECT: Adverse Impact on Training and Operations Due to Non-receipt of Requested
ADP Equipment
1. Even prior to the time this element transferred to DIA it was recognized that an
Automated Data Processing/Office Information System (ADP/OIS) of.some sort would be
required to replace the one on loan from the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security
Command '(USAINSCOM).
2. Based on assurances that such a system would "soon" be available, unit organization
and personnel arrangements were made accordingly, and only one secretary position was
requested. Now, approximately two years since those first assurances that a system would
be forthcoming, we have seen at least eight "guaranteed delivery dates" come and go.
The next scheduled date is "sometime this week", and involves equipment to be temporarily
supplied until the equipment actually contracted for is finally ready.
3. Lack of ADP/OIS support has-had significant negative impact on unit operations for
the 3rd quarter of CY 1986. Primary is loss of data-base correlative functions in
site generation and utility assessment package analysis--without data-base support these
functions are impopsible. A second negative impact is secretarial overload. As the
only person available with sufficient typing skills to manually transcribe session
-transcripts, produce typed drafts, and execute final-copy reports, the secretary has
been seriously backlogged with material requiring her attention. Collection response and
from-tasking-to-final-report time has been greatly increased. Finally, for similar
reasons beneficial but non-essential analytical and theoretical work independently
produced by project personnel has been greatly curtailed.
4. The training report to which this memorandum is attached accounts for a respectable
mission output in both quality and quantity. With the added assistance of the required
ADP/OIS system, this output would have been augmented significantly.
