NOTES ON ARMY GRILL FLAME 111h~ 4OLQ/M130 J BMW
The Army program is, initially, to verify the phenomena. Two
major Army Commands are involved--the Intelligence and Security
Command (INSCOM) and the Department of Army Materiel Develop-
ment and Readiness Command (DARCOM). O ~~ ~I hIvl 1 ~IrGt is

Within DARCOM, two sub-agencies are carrying on the work;
Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) will try to
validate Remote Viewing experiments done by the Stanford
Research Institute (SRI). In September 1978 AMSAA, using
Program VI funds, contracted with SRI to do a number of tac-
tically oriented Remote Viewing tasks. The contract was for
$100 thousand. In 1979 AMSAA extended the contract with SRI
to April 1980. Again, Program VI funds were used: $120
thousand. This gave AMSAA a total commitment of $220 thousand
from September 1978 to April 1980.
The Missile Research and Development Command (MIRADCOM) at
Redstone Arsenal had a small $80 thousand contract with SRI
from August 1977 to August 1978. The work was done under the
sponsorship of a MIRADCOM sub-element, the Missile Intelligence
Agency (MIA), a GDIP Unit. MIA's interest was in psychokinesis
(now called Remote Perturbation). Under the division of labor
in the Army GRILL FLAME project, MIRADCOM has responsibility

for developing a Remote Perturbation experimental program.
The project will be in two phases ($400 thousand (Program VI
funds) have been set aside for this project):
First, from May 1979 to September 1979 SRI will assist MIRADCOM
in developing sensitive measurement equipment for the experiment.
The contract for this part was just let using Program VI funds:
$118 thousand. Phase II, for which a contract with SRI will be
let contingent on approval of the Army Surgeon General's
GRILL FLAME review panel, will be for approximately $90 thousand.
This may involve human subjects. The part now done by MIA will
soon pass to the Missile R&D Laboratory, another MIRADCOM
element, who will use the remaining $192 thousand.
INSCOM will attempt to apply remote viewing to intelligence
collection. If successful, this will also independently verify
previous experiments. INSCOM is working with a small team
selected for this purpose. Three full time and eight part
time personnel are involved at Fort Meade and Arlington Hall.
INSCOM will hold an in-process review this Fall. The total
amount of funds under contract is $75 thousand to SRI to train
and familiarize the team members in Remote Viewing techniques
and experimental procedure.. Approximately $25 thousand end
of year funds will be requested in FY 80. There is $150 thousand
included for GRILL FLAME in the Army HUMINT program in FY 81.

To ensure scientific credibility, the Army is forming a
Special Science Monitoring Team for GRILL FLAME. Composed
of scientist, engineers and medical doctors from DOD and
industry, the team will conduct on-the-spot inquiries through-
out the program and will report directly to the Army Under
Secretary.
