NMITC - TWO YEARS LATER
TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE
From the Commanding Officer:
The purpose of this publication is to inform the fleet what your Navy and Marine
Corps Intelligence Training Center is doing for you and provide insight into the
future of intelligence training at NMITC.
It's difficult to comprehend that two years have passed since Layton Hall was
dedicated and we commenced the training of Navy and Marine Corps intelligence
officers and enlisted specialists, as well as selected specialists from Allied navies,
intelligence specialists from other services, and civilian intelligence specialists.
This splendid facility has graduated in excess of 6,000 warriors, while tens of
thousands more have been educated and entertained by the Soviet Seapower
Education Program (SSEP).
Our 113,500 square feet is already being shoe-horned with new systems...and
they just keep on arriving. The intelligence business is becoming more technical
everyday. The days of pencil and paper are rapidly being replaced by keyboards and
CRTs. We MUST start leading, managing, and instructing smarter. Budget cuts
will continue to haunt the training business; however, the requirements for quality
instruction are ever increasing. If the intelligence community is to survive, all of us
must pull together.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
We are particularly proud of our accreditation by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools (SACS) as a recognized institution of higher learning and that
the majority of our courses of instruction carry some level of college credit, as
determined by the American Council on Education (ACE). The current total is 178
semester hours.
One of the most visible projects we've accomplished is the production and
distribution of SERIOUS PURSUIT - The Game of the Soviet Seapower Education
Program. Fleet feedback has been positive and covered with glowing compliments.
In the next few months the second edition of the training aid will be distributed to
each ship, submarine, and aircraft squadron that has not already received a copy.
But there's more. At the request of Vice Admiral Thunman, Chief of Naval
Education and Training, development of a microcomputer version will begin in the
near future. SSEP personnel will be working with the Naval Training Systems
Center (NTSC) in Orlando, FL.
The Master Intelligence Training Plan Architecture (MITP-A) is progressing
very well, ... but we still need help. Historically, the training command is the last to
hear of new systems, particularly in this day and age of rapid prototyping. I would
request your assistance by notifying me of new systems as you hear of them, whether
intelligence related or not. NMITC will then assign a project officer to investigate.
Our goal is to stay ahead of the production power curve and provide the very best for
our fleet customers. ..YOU.
AIN TO WIN!!

By LCDR Gary Grice, USN
Stalled traffic and hot tempers associated with the commute to Naval Base
Norfolk was the morning greeting for staff and students headed for Gilbert Street
and the cramped second deck residence of NMITC. But in 1986 this was all traded

for cool ocean breezes and surroundings
that beckoned you to linger as
construction of Building 420, on Fleet
Combat Training Center Atlantic, Dam
Neck, neared completion. The technical
skills of the NMITC staff were put to the
ultimate test during the final stages of
this transition as they were called upon
to assemble and position furniture at
their new home. With the pride and
excitement of a father whose son just hit
the game-winning home run, the doors
were opened for business as what had
been scrub and sand became the home of
Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence
Training Center. This magnificent
113,500 square foot facility was
constructed under MILCON Project P-
903, issued in 1984. The move was
several months ahead of schedule and
final construction efforts continued
around the staff and students. The
facility contains a large research library
and specialized spaces for sensitive
compartmented information and for
teaching secure closed circuit television
operations and maintenance, photo
interpretation, typing, photo processing,
and Naval Intelligence Processing
System (NIPS) operations and
maintenance.
On 24 October 1986, the facility was
dedicated and named after Rear
Admiral Edwin T. Layton, who was
noted for having broken the Japanese
code during World War II, resulting in
victory for the United States. During
the same ceremony the quarterdeck was
dedicated to Admiral Bobby R. Inman,
the first Naval Intelligence Specialist to
attain four-star rank. The auditorium
was dedicated to Vice Admiral Rufus L.
8
Taylor who served as Assistant Chief of
Naval Operations and Director of Naval
Intelligence. The intelligence research
library was dedicated to former
Congressman G. William Whitehurst
who was instrumental in obtaining
funding for construction of the school. A
corridor was dedicated to Chief Warrant
Officer 3 Solomon Hughey Godwin,
USMC, who died while under North
Vietnamese captivity.
Almost immediately it was realized
that the mission requirements of
NMITC far exceeded its facilities and
plans were begun for an expansion. A
Basic Facilities Requirement (BFR) was
done and it was determined that NMITC
would require an additional 70,000
square feet of space to satisfy its mission
requirements within four years. A
MILCON project number, P-978 was
assigned and planning began.
Entering fiscal year 1988, funding
constraints resulted in termination of
many final construction projects that
would have satisfied the current facility
requirements at NMITC. These cuts
terminated MILCON Project P-903 at
the 90% completion stage.
Funding cuts in 1988 threatened
the expansion and postponed
construction from 1990 to 1994.
Original expansion requirements were
based on an average onboard of less than
500 with a projected average onboard of
700. Today, NMITC has an average
daily population in excess of 600. New
courses and increased iterations have,
and will continue to expand the
requirement for more space.

congratulates Captain Trafton on the accreditation of NMITC.
ACCREDITATION BY THE
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF
COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS AND
THE AMERICAN COUNCIL ON
EDUCATION
By Ms. Wendy Hall
The Navy and Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center was granted
accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Commission on Occupational Education Institutions on 11 December 1987. We
began work on an extensive self-study for the Southern Association shortly after
commencing operations in the new facility in July 1986. We were accepted as
candidates for accreditation in December 1986 and were hosts to an evaluation
team in October 1987. The SACS evaluation team completed this visit with no
recommendations for changes in NMITC's program. In accepting the five-year
accreditation at the SACS annual convention in New Orleans, Captain Trafton
established the school's dedication to excellence and quality of instruction.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
In addition to accreditation by the
Southern Association, NMITC
submitted its individual courses to the
American Council on Education (ACE)
to be evaluated for college credit. The
Council made their initial team visit
in December 1987 and evaluated
fourteen courses for college credit.
These courses, combined with the
eight which transferred to NMITC
when the Naval Intelligence
Processing System Training Facility
(NIPSTRAFAC) was consolidated,
gave us a total of 111 semester hours of
recommended college credit for 22
courses. In July 1988, ACE returned
to evaluate 16 additional courses.
These received 67 semester hours
which brought NMITC's total to 178
hours of college credit. These courses
include those for Navy and Marine
Corps, active duty and reserve, officer
and enlisted personnel.
With the college credit hours we
now offer our students, NMITC is
looking to the future and investigating
the feasibility of offering an
Associate's Degree in Intelligence. To
accomplish this,NMITC would have to
be reevaluated by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools. In our never-
ending quest for excellence we will
continue to provide the highest quality
intelligence professionals to serve the
Fleet and our nation. The following is

MASTER INTELLIGENCE
TRAINING PLAN -
ARCHITECTURE (MITP-A)
By LCDR Leanna Terrell, USN
The scope, cost and complexity of training Intelligence Officers and
Intelligence Specialists (IS) dictate a coherent plan to achieve and sustain a
training system responsive to existing and emergent requirements. This is one of
NMITC's major concerns in its mission to provide quality Intelligence Officers
and Specialists to the fleet.
In response to the above requirements, NMITC designed an architecture for
intelligence training known as the "Master Intelligence Training Plan" (MITP-
A) to support the fleet intelligence mission. In these days of rapidly advancing
computer technology, systems make their way into the fleet under the guise of
research and development, and bypass the normal lengthy process to bring
training on-line in Navy schools. As a result, on-site training by technical
representatives is adequate upon system installation, but it does not provide for
the sailors and marines who would later need to learn the use of the system.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
A few examples immediately come
to mind that highlight the above
scenario of systems introduced in the
fleet without the requisite training
being formalized in Navy schools: (1)
POST (Prototype Ocean Surveillance
Terminal), a Data correlation system
in fleet service for the past few years;
however, formalized training was not
available until NMITC developed the
course curriculum and is now gearing
up to teach the system to fleet users;
(2) TAMPS (Tactical Aircraft Mission
Planning System), is a mission
planning tool in use by squadron and
Air Wing personnel. NMITC will
begin offering a three day Data Base
Managers course as part of the current
TACRECCE curriculum during the
second quarter of FY89. A Systems
Operator course for TAMPS will also
be offered at NMITC and will be
included in the Officer and Enlisted
Basic courses; and most importantly,
NMITC will be offering a TAMPS
maintenance course in FY89/90 thus
eliminating vast amounts of financial
expenditures for contractor
maintenance; and finally (3) FIST
(Fleet Imagery Support Terminal), a
system currently installed in several
Command ships, Aircraft Carriers and
other flag configured units enabling
the ship to send and receive digitized
imagery via secure SATCOM links.
The operation of FIST is taught at both
FICPAC and FICEURLANT. NMITC
is planning to include approximately
one week of instruction on the
operation and maintenance of this
system beginning in FY90. The above
examples demonstrate how NMITC is
continuously reviewing the
systems/tactics in use in the fleet and
then researching the need for
formalized "schoolhouse training".
16
Our Master Intelligence Training
Plan Architecture strives to highlight
deficiencies in this training of new
equipment. It identifies major
organizations and directives involved
in the intelligence training process.
Our MITP-A will enable us to keep a
step ahead and to accurately estimate
what space, monies, instructors and
equipment will be needed in order to
meet fleet requirements.
The MITP-A is a dynamic project
that continues to receive input from
the fleet, the main user of our product.
However, NMITC alone cannot fuse
these inputs into a consolidated
intelligence training plan. One means
to coordinate this information on a
high level and regular basis is through
the Navy Intelligence Training
Council (NITC).
The NITC was chartered by the
Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) to
formulate training policy matters,
establish priorities and long range
plans, endorse long and short term
training objectives, and make
recommendations to the DNI.
The Master Intelligence Training
Plan-Architecture has been brought to
fruition in the Navy arena. One of our
goals is to offer the MITP-A as a model
for use by the Air Force and Army
intelligence communities in their joint
intelligence missions. We have
introduced the MITP-A concept at the
Department of Defense (DOD) level by
briefing it on several occasions to the
General Intelligence Training Council
(GITC) and to the Commandant of the
Defense Intelligence College (DIC).
NMITC now hopes the concept of a
comprehensive intelligence training
plan will enter the national arena for
future development of a National
Intelligence Training Plan.

COMPUTER BASED TRAINING
(CBT) and COMPUTER ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION (CAI)
By LT W. Brann Ramsey, USN
In 1985, NMITC recognized the need to provide effective automated
intelligence training to satisfy the Navy's need for skilled intelligence personnel
in an ever increasing technological field. With the rapid proliferation of low cost
microcomputers, a new and alternative form of instruction is now available with
respect to cost and ease of implementation. The large base of microcomputers
prevalent in the fleet today, provides an expedient means by which to export
sophisticated automated intelligence training.
Why automated intelligence training? Automated intelligence training has
many advantages over current instructional methods. First it offers new
learning capabilities such as multimedia presentations and sophisticated
17

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
computer simulations. Instructor and
facilities resource shortfalls can be
offset by the provision of self-paced
instruction (student interactive
instruction). CBT developed courses
will be standardized internally, and
with other similar courses of
instruction by combining course
objectives in modular form. Finally,
due to the wide distribution base of
available microcomputer hardware
throughout the Navy, similarities to
the real world (fleet) environment will
be mirrored.
The NMITC CBT/CAI program was
formally constituted in 1986 through a
Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA)
between the Navy Personnel Research
and Development Center (NPRDC) in
San Diego, CA and NMITC. The MOA
specifies that NPRDC will develop an
unclassified threat platform/weapons
recognition and informational
computer data base for which NMITC
would serve as a developmental test
site. NPRDC called the NMITC
CBT/CAI project a Computer Based
Memorization System or CBMS. In
CBMS design, the decided approach to
learning was to develop software
which would provide supplemental/
remedial training in an environment
which would enlighten and stimulate
student learning. Subsequently, the
CBMS system primarily uses a gaming
approach similar to many popular TV
game shows. For example, Jeopardy,
Concentration, etc.
In July 1987, NPRDC delivered
eight CBMS configured Zenith 248
microcomputers to NMITC. These
computers used complex textual and
graphic presentations for data base
18
instruction. In June 1988, eight more
specially configured CBMS Zeniths
were delivered with the ability to
display not only text and graphics, but
video quality images from a laser disk.
Laser disk technology substantially
improves recognition training by
providing near real-life images in
single frame and motion sequences.
The laser disk was developed and
provided by the U.S. Army, which uses
the disk for helicopter crew recognition
training. The disk contains images of
tanks, surface to air missiles,
helicopters and artillery. NPRDC
currently is developing a second laser
disk for NMITC which will have a
Naval Warfare theme, containing
images primarily of US, Soviet and
NATO ships, aircraft, submarines and
their associated weapons systems.
Delivery of the disk and the associated
software upgrade is expected in the
near future, and will mark the
completion of the NPRDC CBMS
project as outlined in the MOA.
NA/ITC's long-term CBT/CAI goal
is to provide effective automated
intelligence training to Navy and
Marine Corps personnel to better
prepare them for operational
assignments in an ever increasing
technological field. In an effort to
continue CBT development, NMITC is
developing a plan to establish and
direct future CBT efforts. The plan
will identify applicable courses of
instruction which lend themselves to
CBT and the resources required to
develop/implement that training, and
a schedule POA&M to achieve our
goal. The plan will carry NMITC's
CBT/CAI project into the 1990's.

INTELLIGENCE CHAIR
By Ms. Wendy Hall
The Intelligence Chair was established to provide NMITC students with a
broader view of naval and national intelligence. Implemented in February 1987,
the "Chair" occupant is encouraged to write and reflect on topics relevant to
NMITC's programs. It also gives students the opportunity to interact with senior
military and civilian intelligence personnel.
Proposed by the Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) in conjunction with the
Commander, Naval Intelligence Command (CNIC), the Intelligence Chair is
occupied for two week periods. During this time, the "Chair" occupant lectures in
classes, writes on intelligence related topics and participates in the updating and
management of the Master Intelligence Training Plan-Architecture (MITP-A).
Nominees for the Intelligence Chair are chosen from a broad base of talent.
Professionals from any intelligence or intelligence associated organization with
the Navy/Marine Corps/civilian- community are considered. Two types of

personnel are preferred for the
"Chair". The first consists of officers?
recently transferred from significant
sea duty. These officers convey to
NMITC students, an idea of the "big
picture". They know how things are
really being done in the fleet and what
key issues students will face in the
operational Navy. The second are
those personnel in Washington who
can provide students with an
understanding of national and
international issues as they relate to
the intelligence community.
Nominations are made far in advance
and all interested commands are
encouraged to submit names. Travel
costs and per diem are provided for
"Chair" selectees.
NMITC has established a
distinguished list of Intelligence Chair
participants. Responses from former
Chairs have been most positive.
Samples of these include the following:
? Commander T.F. Ready, USNR-R,
"This has been an exceptionally
rewarding tour and I am profoundly
grateful for the opportunity."
? Dr. G. William Whitehurst, "I left
NMITC with increased confidence in
the excellence of the young Navy and
Marine Corps personnel who serve our
country."
? Captain Walter D. Poellnitz, III,
USN, "This was an enriching
experience for me - one that was
personally gratifying and one which
left me with the knowledge that the
future of naval intelligence will
continue in very good hands."
? Captain Jerome Burke, Jr., USN,
"Holding the NMITC Intelligence
Chair was a very rewarding
experience."

PAUL X. KELLEY
GENERAL USMC
On the morning of 13 November 1987, the "HALL OF VALOR" was
dedicated to those individuals in the Navy and Marine Corps who gave their lives
in the defense of their country. After a moving ceremony which included taps and
a twenty-one gun salute, Vice Admiral William Studeman, USN, then the
Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI), Brigadier General Frank Breth, USMC,

then the Director of Marine Corps
Intelligence (DIRINT), and Captain
Trafton led the families and friends of
the honored across the quarterdeck to
the second deck of Layton Hall. A
brief, but emotional ribbon cutting
ceremony was conducted by Captain
Trafton to officially open the HALL OF
VALOR.
Proud loved ones and friends of the
honored swiftly moved down the
hallway to admire the commemorative
shadow boxes for each sailor and
marine. The shadow boxes contain a
picture, brief synopsis of the
individual's career and a purple heart.
As families and guests moved through
a crowded but joyful hallway, echoes of
praise and admiration were heard
throughout.
Mrs. Dolly Smith, the mother of
the late Staff Sergeant T. G. Smith,
USMC, stopped and kissed Captain
Trafton on the cheek, then turned and
said, "This is the man who made this
day possible for my Tommy." In the
words of Captain Trafton, "THE HALL
OF VALOR is a place where these
Sailors and Marines will be
immortalized forever."

SCHOOL INTEGRATED TRAINING
BATTALION
By CW03 George Scruggs, USN
NMITC Intelligence Specialist "A" School Integrated Training Battalion
(ITB) was established in June 1986 under the guidelines established in 1979 by
the Chief of Naval Operations to extend Military Training from boot camp
through "A" Schools.
IS "A" School, formerly a 14 week course taught at Lowry Air Force Base,
underwent dramatic changes when it was moved to NMITC. It consists of 11
weeks of instruction in basic knowledge and skills required to assist naval
intelligence officers in operational assignments ashore and afloat. Graduates of
this "Core" training then attend one of two follow-on courses: a 15 week Imagery
Interpretation course that concentrates on all skills related to the interpretation
of all-source imagery, which awards graduates NEC 3910; or a 5 week
Operational Intelligence Course that concentrates on the principles, rules and
concepts necessary to analyze and fuse multi-source intelligence information and
produce operational intelligence, which awards graduates NEC 3920. Of special

note, a student graduating from the
"Core" and Imagery Interpretation
pipeline is eligible for some 18 college
credits.
The purpose of the ITB is to instill
high standards of military bearing,
conduct and personal responsibility;
foster patriotism, pride and
professionalism and desire for service
to the nation; develop desire to observe
naval customs and traditions; and to
promote physical fitness, in addition to
attending the Intelligence Specialist
(IS) "A" School.
At IS "A" School, there are
approximately 160 students on board
at any given time. All E-3 and below
are required to reside in open bay
barracks, and may not drive a personal
vehicle, wear civilian clothing or be on
liberty after 2400 for their first eight
weeks of training. Their typical day
begins at 0600 for supervised physical
training. The academic day begins at
0800 and lasts until 1630. This is
followed by mandatory or voluntary
remedial academic training until
approximately 2000. Students are
required to march to and from class
and the mess hall. During their free
time, they are responsible for the
cleanliness of the barracks and their
assigned classrooms.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE FIELD
TRAINING
By LTCOL Don E. Mosley, USMC (Retired)
There's something about the smell of canvas. To Marines who carry the 02
MOS, that smell calls up a barrage of memories and those impressions are
personal, yet the same: endless watches; dark mornings; biting cold or dripping
heat; omnipresent dust and sand, or mud; and always, a fresh realization of how
comforting a canteen cup of warm coffee feels in the hands. A Marine is at home
in the field.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps, General A. M. Gray, has directed a
return to basics, and "warrior" training for all Marines. At NMITC Marine
(entry level) Intelligence Specialist students get their "warrior" training as part
of an eight week course of instruction required for the Intelligence Specialist
(0231) MOS.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
The site for the training is the
Virginia Army National Guard Post at
Camp Pendleton, located adjacent to
the Fleet Combat Training Center,
Atlantic, Dam Neck. In light of
"warrior" training, all Marine
students move to and from the field by
foot. Students receive intensive, field
environment training in use of the
compass, land navigation, field
communications, and other survival
skills. A recent addition to the training
has become a real high point for these
Marine students. Support from the
Foreign Materiel Exploitation (FME)
section, Marine Corps Combat
Development Center, Quantico, VA,
provides hands-on training in a
variety of foreign weapons and
equipment. Learning the fine details
of construction, capabilities and
limitations, and nomenclature of
Soviet, Chinese, and Warsaw Pact
weapons, then firing those weapons on
a "familiarization course," affords
these intelligence analysts with
unique experience and valuable
expertise in weapons of potential
opposition forces. The students also
establish a Command Post (CP),
complete with proper camouflage.
After set up of the CP, students are
trained in combat security procedures
and techniques, including scouting
and patrolling: rear area security is
important to these Marines.
In preparation for the end-of-
course practical exercise, the Marine
Intelligence students construct a
30
scaled terrain model of the
Amphibious Objective Area (AOA), a
three-dimensional representation of
the topography (and hydrography)
from the far shoreline, to the landing
beaches, to the Force Beachhead Line
(FBHL). The model is a real work of
art (if it doesn't rain), and serves as an
invaluable graphic aid for briefing the
exercise Intelligence Estimate.
Subsequent to the briefing of the
Intelligence Estimate, students are
assigned to specific units and tents.
The Intelligence Exercise has Marine
intelligence students assigned to the
Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB)
or one of its components--a component
of the Regimental Landing Team
(RLT), the Air Combat Element
(ACE), or the Combat Service Support
Element (CSSE). The exercise utilizes
a real-world scenario. Consequently,
Marine Intelligence professionals gain
expertise not only in performing their
job at the unit level, but gain
knowledge of actual enemy
capabilities.
Future plans include the
establishment of a Joint Intelligence
Center (JIC) at NMITC. This will
enable us to integrate Naval
Intelligence Courses into the exercise.
Currently, the training period is five
days in length, but NMITC's MAGTF
Intelligence instructors are
continually trying to find ways of
increasing what has become
recognized as required training for a
new generation of Marine Intelligence
"Warriors"--in the field, under canvas.

COMBINED NAVY/MARINE
INTELLIGENCE TRAINING
By LCDR Bill Yopp, USN
Capt Rick Pellish, USMC
LT Eric Exner, USN
When I heard that my squadron was going to be part of an airwing which has
a U.S. Marine Corps A-6 squadron as an element in the Wing, I was certain that
there was nothing a "Marine squadron intelligence team" could tell me about
doing my job on the carrier. I couldn't have been more wrong! My experience
with the intelligence professionals of VMA(AW)-533 showed me very clearly how
important combined Navy/Marine Corps intelligence training is to the fleet.
Congress mandated "Jointness", and in this instance, "Jointness" was a way of
life.

Upon arrival at NMITC for
instructor duty, I have been
overwhelmed by the constantly
growing spirit of cooperation between
the Navy and Marine Corps. The
tremendous amount of information
concerning new systems and
procedures continues to grow at an
exponential rate, making it virtually
impossible for any one instructor to be
an expert on everything. When it
comes to Amphibious Warfare, Marine
Corps operations, systems or
equipment, our Marine peers never
fail to supply a subject matter expert.
When the need arose for instruction on
carrier operations, Navy systems or
procedures, we on the Navy side
provide the appropriate subject matter
experts to the Marine courses.
At least eight of the courses
offered at N1VIITC have dedicated cross
training involved in which navy
personnel are training marines or vice
versa. These courses are Marine Air
Ground Task Force Intelligence
Officer (MAGTF-I0), MAGTF
Intelligence Officer Reserve, MAGTF
Intelligence Specialist-Entry, MAGTF
Counterintelligence, Intelligence
Specialist "A" School, Naval
Intelligence Officer Basic Course,
Basic Intelligence Training Subjects,
and SCI Administration and Physical
Security. As a part of the cross
training, Navy instructors provide
information on naval intelligence
processing systems, basic weapons
systems, platforms, and carrier
32
operations, while the Marines are
instructing Navy personnel on
amphibious operations and ground
tactics. Additionally, an even larger
percentage of the courses offered have
guest lecturers which include cross
training briefings. There is also a free
flowing exchange of information in the
areas of photography and field
operations, plus numerous
demonstrations of various equipment
utilized by both services. This,
however, is not the end of the
combined/jointness goals at NMITC.
There are currently plans being
studied to temporarily merge the Navy
Intelligence Officer Basic Course with
Marine classes in a field operation
(briefing and planning phases) for a
short timeframe to illustrate the
concept of combined operations and
how vital these operations will be to
our future.
NMITC, as our name clearly
states, is the Navy and Marine Corps
Intelligence Training Center. We are
very serious about the joint training of
intelligence professionals. To
accomplish this, we must work
together, understanding, anticipating,
and responding as a single, efficient,
fighting unit. The only way in which
this can be accomplished and become
reality is to concentrate on training
professionals in all aspects of
combined/joint operations. NMITC is
totally dedicated to that goal,
regardless of whether the intelligence
professional wears khaki or green.

"...That's why we've spent this time discussing Soviet Seapower. Yet we've
only touched upon a fragment of the knowledge we need should the "Bear" ever
challenge us at sea. We encourage you to learn as much as you can about the
Soviet Union and its Navy. It's your responsibility, not only as a professional
military man or woman, but as a citizen of a democracy."
Another "Soviet Seapower" presentation is concluding; the base theater
lights are coming back on, a Soviet martial hymn is beginning to play in the
background and some 500 military and civilian personnel are exiting the theater.
First-timers remark that they've never seen a Navy brief quite like this. Return
attendees remember the general format of the presentation from a previous visit,
but the content has been updated and seems to be keeping pace with the ever-
changing events in the Soviet Union in this era of "Glasnost" and "Perestroika."

What and why is "Soviet
Seapower?" "Soviet Seapower" is a
multi-media presentation which
describes the Soviet Union in general
and the Soviet Navy in particular
through 35mm slides, video tapes, and
role-playing of Soviet naval personnel.
In an attempt to create the mood,
theaters are decorated with authentic
Soviet propaganda posters, banners
and naval warfare crests. The Soviet
Seapower Education Program was
formally established in 1983 to
enhance the awareness of the Soviet
Union and its navy among U.S. Navy
and Marine Corps personnel,
dependents and civilians. Since its
inception, "Soviet Seapower" has been
presented to almost 200,000 personnel
at over 100 different installations
worldwide.
Who is "Soviet Seapower?"
Presentations are given by a five-
member traveling team from NMITC,
consisting of one 0-4/0-5 1630
(program manager), two 0-3 1630's,
one 0-3 URL and one E-6/E-7
Intelligence Specialist. A Soviet
Seapower presentation team member
is:
? capable of speaking (from
memorized text) to audiences
ranging in size from 150-2,000,
? a public relations official,
projecting a positive image of the
U.S. Navy before domestic and
foreign audiences as well as media
representatives,
? an intelligence professional,
constantly studying the Soviet
Union and its Navy and, when
necessary, rewriting presentations
to keep "Soviet Seapower" up-to-
date,
34
? a world traveler approximately
35% of the year, visiting U.S. and
allied installations worldwide,
? fully aware of the team concept,
working in harmony with his
compatriots to present "Soviet
Seapower" in an informative,
entertaining format.
How does "Soviet Seapower"
happen? The team, as a Directorate at
NMITC, is responsible for handling all
of their own scheduling and travel
arrangements. As a result, contact
usually is initiated with a prospective
host site about six months in advance,
and continues right up to the day of the
presentations. Because the host sites
are responsible for reserving theaters,
auditoriums and audio-visual
equipment, as well as providing
adequate publicity and security, the
team must assist frequently with
advance preparations to ensure
successful presentations.
Upon arrival at the site, a day
prior to a presentation, the team will
use propaganda posters, Soviet flags
and naval warfare crests to "Soviet-
ize" the auditorium at Naval War
College, Newport, or "Russi-fy" an
auditorium at the American Embassy
in London. They will also connect
televisions throughout the auditorium
so there isn't a "bad seat" in the house.
Microphone connections will be
arranged to allow the speakers free
reign of the stage, loosed from the
traditional podium anchor.
Presentation days are long. The
team normally will arrive at the
theater by 0700 for a classified
presentation which concludes at 1500.
If an evening unclassified presentation

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
is scheduled, the team will return to
the theater prior to 1800. If the team
is scheduled to travel the following
day, the theater must be "de-Soviet-
ized" after the presentation concludes
at 2115. Occasionally, "Soviet
Seapower" is also presented on
weekends to Reserve units throughout
the country.
But "Soviet Seapower" is not all
work and no play; the team will often
visit such locales as San Diego, Pearl
Harbor, Orlando, New Orleans or
Bermuda. University campuses, such
as Ohio State, the University of
Florida and UCLA, are also visited as
presentations are now being scheduled
for Naval Reserve Officer Training
Corps (NROTC) units.
Upon returning to NMITC, the
entire process is repeated: scheduling,
travel arrangements, advance liaison
with new sites, drafting after-action
reports on the current status and
direction of "Soviet Seapower" and
continuing the research effort on Mr.
Gorbachev's Motherland and Admiral
Chernavin's Navy.
Thus, "Soviet Seapower" is not
just another "threat briefing." Rather,
it is a dynamic, entertaining
presentation incorporating a
multitude of audio-visual media and
attention-grabbing techniques
including humor, designed to keep the
audience alert and eager as they learn
about the Soviet Union and its far-
reaching Navy, our greatest potential
adversary.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE
MID-CAREER COURSE
(NIMCC)
By LCDR Mike Wildman, USN
Early in the beginning of its second year, NMITC was tasked to develop,
conduct, and evaluate regularly scheduled seminars to address and redress issues
critical to the advancement of intelligence as a discipline and critical to the
success of the individual intelligence professional. By 22 July 1988, NMITC
graduated two seminars whose members embraced unique opportunities to
interact with various operational commanders and some of the most brilliant and
credible experts in a number of crucial intelligence sub-disciplines.
Prior to and during his tenure as the Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI),
Vice Admiral William 0. Studeman maintained that a serious shortfall existed in
the development of mid-level intelligence professionals. That shortfall was "the
lack of formal, institutionalized training." His arguments were supported by
senior intelligence officers who freely admitted that, upon promotion or
assumption of greater responsibility, they found themselves unprepared to
adequately conduct themselves as Naval Officers and intelligence specialists.
Vice Admiral Studeman specifically identified ten skills that need to be part of

each senior intelligence professional's
bag-a-tricks. Hence, a mid-career
course was needed to start a new
generation of professionals better
suited to carry on the community's
leadership. Establishing such a course
was a priority concern of his;
perpetuating that endeavor remains a
vital concern with the current DNI,
Rear Admiral Thomas A. Brooks.
After four months of intense
course development and continual
modification, the NAVAL
INTELLIGENCE MID-CAREER
COURSE (NIMCC) has manifested
itself as a two week colloquium,
primarily targeting Lieutenant
Commanders in the intelligence and
cryptologic communities. The seminar
of twenty students interacts in
dynamic exchange with flag officers,
former congressmen, academicians,
attorneys, DOD and other agency
experts, as well as each other.
Seminar members are thrust into a
learning experience where they
immediately become exposed to new
issues and get the invaluable
opportunity to look at current issues
through the eyes of some of the most
expert individuals available
anywhere. ADM Train (former
USCINCLANT, SACLANT), VADM
Johnston (COMSECONDFLT, and
former Commander, Carrier Group 4),
RADM Roop (Commandant Defense
Intelligence College), Dr. Whitehurst
(professor and former U.S.
Congressman), Mr. Richard Haver
(Deputy Director, Naval Intelligence)
were among our recent, distinguished
cast of contributors. Although mid-
career courses have consistently failed,
NIMCC survived the acid test of
history with each graduate becoming a
disciple of the course's philosophy,
content, and method. After thorough
scrutiny, evaluators from the
American Council on Education (ACE)
recommended that students who write
a relevant, graduate-level paper after
completing the Naval Intelligence
Mid-Career Course be granted three
hours of graduate credit in political
science.

NAVY/MARINE TECHNICAL
TRAINING
By LCDR Chuck Breen, USN
Capt Tom Still, USMC
Managing technological training for effective fleet support is the core
mission for the Marine Corps and Advanced Intelligence Directorate (N4).
Within this Directorate, we currently teach thirteen automated intelligence
support system courses, the meat of our technical training. These automated
intelligence system courses provide training for both the Marine Corps and Navy
in data management for systems users, operators, and maintenance personnel.
Emphasis is placed on the requirements of intelligence centers afloat and ashore.
Training supports reconnaissance processing, imagery interpretation and
intelligence data processing services used in operational intelligence.
Our technical training courses have a cumulative duration of one hundred
and ten weeks, with eight courses awarding graduates with unique skill
identifiers or Navy Enlisted Classifications (NEC). The automated intelligence
support system courses have also been recommended for 31 cumulative hours of
college credit in such technical fields as data processing, electronic data
processing, computer operations, technical communications, electronics, closed
circuit television, and photogrammetry.

Many of our intelligence support
systems were transferred from the
Naval Intelligence Processing System
Training Facility (NIPSTRAFAC),
including the AN/USQ-34(V) NIPS
Computer System (NIPS B), NIPS A,
AN/SYQ-9(V)1,2 LHA/CVN Computer

Recent system additions at NMITC
include the Prototype Ocean
Surveillance Terminal (POST), OSIS
Baseline Upgrade System (OBU),
AN/SYQ-9(V)3 Computer System AS-
27A1 MHS Upgrade and Swifthawk
Collection Management System. Two
additional support systems, the
Tactical Aircraft Mission Planning
System (TAMPS) and Fleet Imagery
Support Terminal (FIST), are planned
to be brought into the schoolhouse in
the near future. Future training
requirements on systems emerging in
the fleet will be studied under the
Master Intelligence Training Plan
Architecture (AMP-A).
Navy and Marine Corps
Intelligence is experiencing the
challenge of accelerating technology.
We, as intelligence professionals, must
acquire greater technical expertise.
Increased timeliness of information,
data load, and communications
requirements are today's technological
trends. Expert systems are being
developed to keep pace with the
increasing abundance of intelligence
information. Accordingly, we are near
40
the top of the list of warfare
specialities which are, and will
continue to experience a technological
deluge of new systems. In fact, the
proliferation is so rapid that
appropriate planning for, and
documentation to support training is
often remiss. A variety of factors affect
near and long term changes to both
Navy and Marine technical systems;
we at NMITC stay in tune with the
process by attending numerous
conferences and ensuring training
concerns are addressed adequately to
accomplish our mission of providing
trained sailors and marines to the
fleet. Our goal is to produce more
technically competent intelligence
professionals.
We teach a diverse group of
ratings. Our students include
Intelligence Specialists, Data
Processing Technicians, Data Systems
Technicians, Electronics Technicians,
Cryptologic Technicians, Operations
Specialists, Electronics Warfare
Specialists and Marine students with
corresponding MOS's. Students are
quite enthusiastic about systems
training. A majority of their time is
spent in the lab dedicated to "hands
on", learning-by-mistake instruction.
Although, by necessity, our training
involves a lot of "button crunching"
and "knobology", we try to spice up our
training by informing students of each
system's value, and how it contributes
to a unit's mission. Our students
understand that intelligence systems
are vital to their profession. They
enjoy the man-machine interaction
and generally prefer technical training
over more traditional, tedious
classroom instruction.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVES
...FROM THE BASIC TRAINING
DIRECTORATE
By LCDR Woody Poole, USN
LT Dave Hanaman, USNR
Praise from former intelligence officer students in the fleet continues to come
in to NMITC. Intelligence officers, who less than a year earlier had graduated
from college, are serving key roles as operational intelligence officers in the
Pacific, Atlantic, the Northern Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Intelligence
officers from NMITC have distinguished themselves in operations such as the
rescue of USS Bonefish and air strikes in the Persian Gulf.
The confidence to perform their missions as a result of the comprehensive
training received in the Naval Intelligence Officer Basic Course (NIOBC) is the
most common theme in the letters received from former students. As one Ensign
put it: "The.. .aspect of my training which has had the most influence on my
initial success has been the broad base of that training." Continuing that theme
another wrote: "NMITC...teaches you what you need to know most: the threat."
One wrote, a bit less eloquently: "The headaches I endured memorizing all the
data on platforms and the hours spent preparing for briefs has really paid off!"

While praise from the fleet is nice
to hear, constructive criticism and
recommendations are the most
important inputs we receive. With
these, NMITC can continue to
improve. Several intelligence officers
suggested that NMITC incorporate
new training into the course. One
recommended "(instruction) on how to
do a cyclic operations brief" and
gearing a portion of the student's
training toward his specific billet.
Both of these suggestions have now
been incorporated into the final two
weeks of the course. Other suggestions
have included visits to other
intelligence and operational
commands. NIOBC students now visit
the major naval intelligence
commands in Norfolk and
Washington, D.C. and participate in
tours of U.S. carriers, ships,
submarines and aviation squadrons.
These squadrons have also provided
static displays and briefs on F-14, A-6,
S-3, and P-3 aircraft. The NIOBC
course also addresses the needs of the
intelligence officer in his many
collateral functions. Former students
have suggested added training in the
fields of security, naval messages, and
intelligence publication management.
Each of these areas is now
strengthened with the inclusion of the
Security Manager Correspondence
Course, JINTACCS and IIR reporting
and expanded publications usage.
The key to being an effective
intelligence officer still remains the
ability to communicate. According to
42
our former students, NMITC is on
track; "Briefing was sufficiently
(stressed) at NMITC and the training
paid off. It is the one area in which all
intelligence officers excel." One
Ensign prides herself on her new
ability "to give an informative,
accurate brief on short notice."
The backbone of the NIOBC
course is the instructors. The
experience they bring to the course is
invaluable to the students. The
current staff have backgrounds in
fighter, attack and maritime patrol
aviation, electronic warfare, ocean
surveillance and intelligence officer
detailing and placement. As an
example of this experience, the Navy's
Instructor of the Year teaches in the
NIOBC course.
Instructor duty at NMITC
provides an unprecedented
opportunity to positively influence
intelligence officers and specialists in
the most important initial phase of
their careers. A staff member with
fourteen years of experience put it in
perspective, saying, "Working with
entry level intelligence personnel in
the Basic Training Directorate has
provided more job satisfaction than
any other shore duty job in my career."
Finally, from her deployed
squadron in Keflavik, Iceland one new
squadron intelligence officer wrote:
"The instructors provided an insight
into our future...as well as teaching
the curriculum."

STUDENT PERSPECTIVES
...FROM THE ADVANCED
TRAINING DIRECTORATE
By LCDR Don Olivier, USN
Students, both pipeline and fleet inputs, who receive intelligence systems
training from NMITC's Automated Intelligence Systems Training Department
are not only satisfied with the training they receive, but more importantly, they
are confident of their ability to utilize these systems in an operational
environment.
Student critiques praise Automated Intelligence Systems Department
instructors' expertise and their ability to impart this expertise to the students. A
large percentage of our students tell us, via critiques, that initially they are
overwhelmed and intimidated by computers; however, by the time they graduate
they are confident that they have learned the necessary skills required to become
systems experts.
Former students also write to our instructors to thank them for the quality
training. These students state that because of the training they received from the
Automated Intelligence Systems Training Department, they are relied upon by
their commands to provide critical intelligence support via intelligence systems.

The following is a typical excerpt from
a student's letter to a systems
instructor (note: the student is an
ISSN):
"...When I arrived aboard, the
first thing the ISCS had me do was
bring up the MIIS (Modular Image
Interpretation System) and ensure
that it was still operational. It was
hard to believe but no one onboard
knew how to use this system. The
ISCS tasked me to write an
operational guide for this system
and to train other members of
CVIC Where I really shine is
on the APPS (Analytical
Photogrammetric Positioning
System). Even though the Senior
Chief, a First Class and a Second
Class received advanced APPS
training at FT Belvior, my
knowledge rivals theirs and
exceeds it in many areas."
The only negative feedback we
receive is that we don't have enough
equipment, thus hands on time is
limited. Unfortunately in this day of
fiscal restraint, the training command
is often the last to receive upgrades
and additional equipment. We are
proactive in ensuring that NMITC
receives equipment upgrades,
additional terminals and new systems
as soon as they are available.
It is evident from the student
feedback that the Automated
Intelligence Systems Training
Department is training quality
personnel to meet fleet requirements.

BASIC RESERVE INTELLIGENCE
TRAINING (BRIT) PROGRAM
By LCDR Tom Bonanno, USNR
The Director, Naval Reserve Intelligence Program (DNRIP) directed NMITC
to develop a course of training for personnel entering the Naval Reserve
Intelligence Program (NRIP). As a result, the BRIT program was initiated in
March 1988 with the Basic Reserve Intelligence Training Management
Workshop conducted at NMITC. All nineteen Reserve Intelligence Areas were
represented at the workshop and most began actual instruction in April 1988.
The BRIT Program is required for all personnel entering the NRIP from the
following sources: Direct Commission Officers, Change of Designator Officers,
Advanced Pay Grade Enlisted, and Enlisted Rate Conversion.
The BRIT program provides entry level intelligence training for officer and
enlisted personnel entering the NRIP from other than intelligence backgrounds

to meet the billet qualification
requirements established by Gaining
Commands served by the NRIP. There
are two levels of BRIT training. The
first training level is basic intelligence
training, followed by more advanced
training leading to the 9600 NOBC for
officers and the 3920 NEC for enlisted
personnel. The training is provided by
modularized classroom presentation
and intensive Active Duty for Training
ACDUTRA courses.
The initial training consists of two
separate but parallel training
programs: Basic Reserve Intelligence
Training - Officer (BRIT-0) and Basic
Reserve Intelligence Training -
Enlisted (BRIT-E). The Brit-0 and
Brit-E training combines modularized
classroom instruction on drill
weekends with ACDUTRA training,
correspondence courses, and other
training specified by DNR1P.
The Naval Reserve provides drill-
pay billets for approximately 1,700
special duty (1635) officers in the
ranks of Ensign through Lieutenant
Commander. Where possible, these
billets are filled by 1635 naval officers
released from active duty. Because the
number of these officers is inadequate
to meet the ongoing needs of the Naval
Reserve Intelligence Program (NRIP),
procurement of junior officers also has
been authorized through direct
appointment of qualified enlisted
reservists and civilians, inter-service
transfer or through change of
designator of officers to 1635.
The Basic Reserve Intelligence
46
Training Officer (BRIT-0) Program
has been developed by NMITC to
address the entry level training needs
of new direct commission, change of
designator, and inter-service transfer
officer personnel. The program
encompasses a seven module course of
instruction to be taught at a drill site
in each of the nineteen Reserve
Intelligence Areas (RIA'S), followed by
a two week active duty for training
(ACDUTRA) to attend either the Basic
Intelligence Training Subjects Course
(BITSC) at NMITC or the Fleet
Intelligence Training Center, Pacific
(FITCPAC) in San Diego. Upon
completion of this program, the
individual will be eligible for the 9600
NOBC.
The Basic Reserve Intelligence
Training Enlisted (BRIT-E) Program
has been developed by NMITC to
address the entry level training needs
for Advanced Pay Grade and in-service
transfer or change of rate personnel.
In effect this program is the equivalent
to active duty IS "A" school. The
program consists of 12 one-weekend
modules at the drill site, graded
homework, and one ACDUTRA course
of instruction titled ISA-RES. Upon
satisfactory completion of this first
stage of the program the individual
will be eligible to apply for the
permanent IS rating. The second stage
of training consists of two, two-week
ACDUTRAs (OR-1 and OR-2). Upon
completion of these courses of
instruction the individuals will be
awarded the 3920 Intelligence
Specialist Class "A" Operational
Intelligence NEC.

CRS(W) Gerry Walmsley and LT Dagard, Royal Navy
THE BRITISH - ONBOARD A U.S.
NAVY COMMAND
(A ROYAL NAVY PERSPECTIVE)
By LT John Dugard, RN
In late 1985, Lieutenant John Dugard, Royal Navy, was informed by his
detailer that he was to be moved from his current job and sent to a place in the
United States called NMITC. Not being accustomed to receiving good news from
detailers, LT Dugard inquired of the local USN Liaison Office just what a NMITC
was. The results of this inquiry led to further heated conversations with the
detailer before all became clear that LT Dugard was not going to USS NIM1TZ
(CVN-69), but to Dam Neck and three years with the USN Intelligence
Community.
Thus the Royal Navy (RN) presence at NMITC came into being on the sixth
of October 1986 with the inception of the Royal Navy OSIS Liaison Office and the
arrival of LT Dugard (an LDO Cryptologist) and CRS(W) (E-8) Gerry Walmsley,
an EW specialist, both anticipating three years of adventure and excitement in
the New World. The following paragraphs are thoughts and observations by LT
Dugard.

In comparing the dissimilarities
between the two Navies, the largest
difference is sheer size. You are a lot
bigger than we are. Our training
establishments (when talking of a
"Command" in the RN, we would be
referring to the Commander of a base,
or "Establishment" as we would call it)
are much smaller than those operated
by the USN, and tend to be specific to a
particular type of training.
Establishments are given ships'
names, thus, HMS DRYAD, our
nearest equivalent to Fleet Combat
Training Center, Atlantic at Dam
Neck, is about one tenth the size and is
commanded by a Captain (0-6), with
the various training departments
(which would be Commands in the
USN) being headed by Commanders
(0-5) or Lieutenant Commanders (0-
4).
Generally speaking, services
offered by the RN are roughly on a par
with those provided on a USN base,
although our two Navies have
different opinions on what is required
for accommodation and messing. In the
RN very little is provided by
commercial enterprise and all
accommodation, food (four meals a
day, everyday), entertainment,
recreation and bars for both our
Officers and Enlisted are provided by
the RN Service...and we do not have
Base Police.
We also found that a certain
amount of adjustment was required to
our body clocks, in order to get used to
the early starts and late finishes. RN
days tend to start later and we are
generally out of the office by midnight.
We also have a much more liberal
leave policy, with all of our training
48
establishments closing down for two
weeks leave at Christmas and Easter
and three weeks in the Summer.
Budgets always loom large in the
thoughts of anyone involved in
training and although travel is a
contentious issue, I think that
NMITC's annual operating budget
would keep at least two of our
establishments going for a year or two.
Another area in which we have
similar backgrounds but a differing
approach is that of tradition. It is
readily apparent that the USN and the
USMC are fiercely proud of their
histories, achievements, and traditions
and make a much more overt display of
that pride than would be apparent at
most RN establishments. RN tradition
forms a solid foundation for our
everyday activities, but as most of
these were set hundreds of years ago,
they are immutable and not subject to
interpretation. Although the USN and
USMC have a similar sound
traditional base, a lot of traditions are
still being formed. When the need for
change arises, it is not resisted.
Morale and discipline are
impeccable here, largely because of the
backing of a very strong Senior
Enlisted cadre. The Senior Enlisted
have a much more solid feeling of
identity here, reinforced by the Chiefs
initiation and the role of Command
Master Chief, neither of which have an
equivalent in the RN.
Our experiences here over the past
twenty-four months on board an
American Command have given us an
invaluable insight into how another

Navy looks at similar problems and
arrives at different, but equally
workable solutions. Our observations
will help us attack problems from a
different viewpoint on our return.

that Dugard and Walmsley are still

THE BRITISH ARE COMING!
There used to be a time when those
words instilled fear in Americans. At
NMITC, we can only be glad that the
British have in fact arrived. Our Royal
Navy personnel quickly integrated
themselves into the command. They
have volunteered to instruct in several
different courses and have added
unique experiences and perspectives
wherever they have taught. Key players
in our transition from OSIS Baseline
System (OBS) to OSIS Baseline
Upgrade (OBU), they quickly mastered
the OBU system and have been
instrumental in our efforts to bring
OBU training to fruition. They have
been outstanding ambassadors for the
RN and have made a favorable
impression on all who have come in
contact with them. We no longer look at
our Royal Navy representatives as
foreigners. Their professionalism,
devotion, involvement, and "can-do"
attitudes have made them invaluable to
the Ocean Surveillance Information
System (OSIS) Training Division and
the Command as a whole.

LCDR Steven Firth, Royal Australian Navy
THE AUSTRALIANS - ONBOARD A
U.S. NAVY COMMAND
By LCDR Chuck Breen, USN
LCDR Steve Firth, RAN
The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) became a part of NIVIITC on 13 June 1988
when LCDR Steven Firth, RAN reported for duty. LCDR Firth had a previous
tour in the United States as a student at the Naval Postgraduate School in
Monterey.
LCDR Firth is assigned to NMITC as the Royal Australian Navy OBU
Liaison Officer (RANOLON) and is a member of the Automated Intelligence
Systems Training Department. His principal duty here will be to develop OBU
System Management, OBU User and Operational Intelligence (OPINTEL)
experience. The Australians are joining the US/UK OSIS Community. The RAN
Maritime Intelligence Center (MIC), their OSIS node, is scheduled to open in
Sydney in July 1989. LCDR Firth will become the first RAN OBU Systems
Manager at their MIC.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
In order to bring their MIC to
fruition, the Australians will have to
develop an aggressive OPINTEL
training program for future
watchstanders. They do not have
Intelligence Specialists per se in their
Navy. Thus, another key duty for
LCDR Firth is to liaise with us to
formulate and develop future RAN
training requirements. CDR David
Horton, RAN, their Naval Command
Support Systems Project Officer, will
also be instrumental in our efforts to
develop RAN training requirements.
LCDR Steve Firth will be with us
until July 1989. Since reporting, he
has successfully completed our
OPINTEL course and graduated
number one in our first ever OBU User
course. He is currently serving a short
TAD period at FOSIC DET
CINCLANTFLT learning the
workings of an OSIS node. He has
been amazed at the activity level and
tremendous dataflow found at a
thriving OSIS node. Upon returning,
LCDR Firth will continue his formal
training with the nine week OBU
System Management Course.
Additionally, he will conduct liaison
with our software representative to
determine and develop requirements
unique to RAN operations with OBU.
He will have ample time to hone his
OBU skills. When OBU is installed
"down under", the Royal Australian
Navy will have a true expert to
manage their OBU system and ease
their entry into the OSIS Community.

G. WILLIAM WHITE HURST
RESEARCH LIBRARY
By Mrs. Betty Snellenberg
In the summer of 1986, when NMITC was already training students, the G.
William Whitehurst Research Library began with a truckload of brown cartons.
As the weeks progressed, the cartons increased. They came from the Landing
Force Training Center, Atlantic (LFTCLANT) at Little Creek, Lowry AFB in
Denver Colorado, Naval Intelligence Processing System Training Facility
(NIPSTRAFAC) in Key West Florida, and many commands from whom we
requested intelligence publications.
For many months, every available "volunteer" was rotated through the
library to help with the receipts and organization of the mountain of information.
Intelligence Specialists with many years of intelligence library experience
coordinated their efforts to make the school's library what they thought it should
be. They placed orders for documents and equipment. Eventually the brown
cartons were replaced with shelving, desks, chairs, and cabinets.

Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/15: CIA-RDP90G01353R000500570005-4
In the spring of 1987 the library
was reorganized to meet the ever
increasing demands of the students
and the extended hours of operation.
More people were hired, more
volunteers were recruited and high
density storage units were installed to
handle the bulk of the publications
required by the school.
Today, students are greeted and
assisted by an experienced, helpful
staff. The library offers a quiet,
comfortable study area. All
publications, maps, charts, slides, and
viewgraphs to handle any briefing
requirement are filed and almost
always readily available. The
publications are cataloged into the
Resource Management Sub-system of
the NMITC ADP Support System
(NASS) which provides access by short
title and long title. With the
establishment of the Publications
Review Board, the library has taken a
firm step toward creating a working
team of instructors who review and
identify outdated publications or
shortfalls in the inventory and
recommend future acquisitions.
Occasionally, brown cartons are
still visible . Our existing collection
requires constant revision and
changing to keep it up-to-date and in
good working condition. Increases in
54
class numbers and size make it
necessary to continually order new or
increased numbers of publications to
support them. In the future we hope
for larger quarters and more high
density storage units to help us store
this increase. With the extra space, it
is hoped we can establish a much
needed audio-visual center for student
use in viewing and listening to
training tapes.
Additionally, we plan to provide
students with basic microcomputer
familiarization training and digital
mapping. Further, a microcomputer
would be used to load the Tactical
Intelligence Processing System which
is the follow-on to the NIPS COMM
Data Base. In the meantime, we are
working to implement an automated
check-in/check-out system using bar
codes, thus eliminating the by-hand
process currently in use. Finally, a
special file has been established that
will eventually be available to allow
students to query the library holdings
by subject or topic, thus offsetting the
requirement for a card catalog.
The future looks exciting, both for
NMITC and the G. William
Whitehurst Research Library. Our
goal is to make our service, to both
student and staff, effective, efficient,
and friendly.

SERIOUS PURSUIT - AN UPDATE
By LCDR Jerry Morganthall, USN
SERIOUS PURSUIT - THE GAME OF SOVIET SEAPOWER EDUCATION
PROGRAM was devised several years ago to heighten fleet awareness and
provide an understanding of the Soviet Union - its geography, people, history,
Navy, and the other four armed services. Soviet seapower is more than just ships,
aircraft, doctrine, and rubles to build them. It is centered around people, the
sailors stationed aboard the ships and aircraft. A thorough understanding of the
Soviet mind-set is essential to gaining insight into how and why its Navy
conducts operations around the world.
We are pleased to report that the first increment of the training aid has been
distributed to nearly 500 Navy and Marine Corps commands worldwide. Positive
feedback has been the order of the day.
Our goal is to make a copy of the game available to each ship, submarine,
aircraft squadron, and additional Marine Corps units. To meet this goal, a second
edition consisting of 1,000 copies are being produced and should be available for
distribution in early calendar year 1989. Finally, we are investigating the
feasibility of producing a microcomputer version for fleet and Marine
distribution. We will keep you updated on that one.
? SERIOUS PURSUIT is yet another tool by which NMITC and the Soviet
Seapower Education Program can help the Navy and Marine Corps team "TRAIN
TO WIN."

TELECONFERENCING
By LCDR Leanna Terrell, USN
ICC Joe Lyon, USN
Teleconferencing has been around for many years, as far back as the original
speaker phones in the 1950s. Over the past 25 years or so, the demand for new
teleconferencing choices has accelerated. With Videoconferencing (commonly
known as Teleconferencing) approximating face-to-face meetings, many
companies/agencies feel audio teleconferencing alone isn't good enough.
Teleconferencing involves choosing and using audio and video CODECs, video
monitors, special-purpose microphones and loudspeakers, echo cancelers, color
and B&W cameras and high-definition graphics, all of which combine to demand
new standards of room lighting and acoustic treatment. However, many users
don't feel comfortable holding a conference in a broadcast studio environment.
Therefore, all the equipment is normally disguised so that the teleconference
room looks just like an ordinary meeting room or, in NMITC's case, a
studio/classroom.
NMITC has been a leader in providing real-time instruction to meet rapid
prototype requirements experienced by the fleet. The teleconference initiative is
synonymous with that philosophy. Although the teleconference industry is still
in the infancy stage, various agencies are quickly taking advantage of the unique
opportunities offered by the medium. Technologically, this has been a steady and
predictable progression, but growth has revealed distinct deficiencies within the
human element for which the medium was designed. At NMITC we will play an
active role in providing the skills necessary for professional presentations to be
made via teleconferencing. Students will attend classes at our studio of the
future to learn such techniques as storyboarding, scripting, camera presence,
enhanced graphics display and manipulation, and more. ..all with the intent of
providing professional briefings and presentations. NMITC anticipates including
a teleconferencing studio with the new building expansion scheduled for the early
1990s.
An opportunistic benefit of the studio will be the capability to introduce
respected speakers from outside the Tidewater area to address a myriad of issues
considered important to the development of intelligence students.
Teleconferencing will increase the availability of these speakers at a tremendous
cost savings to the government, more quality for fewer dollars.

RESERVE AFFAIRS
By LCDR Tom Bonanno, USNR
In the Fall of 1984, the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET), the
claimant for Selected Reserve (SELRES) instructor billets at training activities,
made the determination that the Selected Reserve billets at NMITC were no
longer required. CNET'S rationale was that active duty instructors could
perform all necessary training if the reserves were mobilized. NMITC'S Reserve
Unit consisted of fifteen officers and nine enlisted who were to replace those
individuals who were drawn from the command to augment the fleet upon
mobilization. In December 1984, CNET asked Deputy Chief of Naval Operations
for Manpower, Personnel and Training (0P-01) to delete the S/R billets. In
January 1985, OP-01 approved the request and the billets were deleted, but the
Director of Naval Intelligence (DNI) (0P-092), Resource Management Division
(0P-920) retained the final authority, and the billets remained on-line. In
November 1986, NMITC requested that SELRES requirements be revalidated in
order to retain SELRES mobilization billets for 30 officers and 20 enlisted. In
March 1987, OP-01 responded stating that revalidation was in progress and

validated SELRES requirements
would be established according to the
actual quantity/quality of instructors
planned to be drawn down in
mobilization. Revalidation had not
been completed by 1 March 1988,
resulting in the SELRES billets being
officially deleted.
Despite the spirited effort which
was made to retain SELRES billets at
NMITC, revalidation of these
requirements was not completed prior
to deletion in March 1988. Recent
Persian Gulf experience confirms that
intelligence augmentation of ships
during crisis/conflict/mobilization will
be required. NMITC is a superb source
of qualified, tactically proficient
intelligence personnel to fill fleet
augmentation requirements. Selected
reserve personnel will be required to
replace those officer and enlisted
personnel augmenting the fleet.
The remaining action on this
initiative is to identify the precise
number/quality of SELRES billets
required by NMITC. This will be
predicated on CINCLANTFLT or
resource sponsor identification of
active duty assets expected to be taken
from NMITC to augment forward
deployed units during mobilization.
This will then become the basis for
quantifying NMITC's mobilization
workload and justify SELRES billets.

INDIVIDUAL AWARDS AND
RECOGNITION
By LCDR Jerry Morganthall, USN
The past year has seen several individuals at NMITC honored for their
contributions to the training command and the intelligence community. We
would like to take just a few lines to review these important milestones.
Recently, LT John Sanford, USN, was named the Chief of Naval Education
and Training (CNET) Officer Instructor of the Year, being selected from
thousands of eligible and qualified instructors Navy-wide. This is quite an honor
for LT Sanford, because it marks the first time an Intelligence Officer (1630) has
been so honored. He currently serves as one of the instructors for the Naval
Intelligence Officer Basic Course (NIOBC) and is a specialist in Electronic
Warfare.
Our Sailor of the Year was I)S1 Floyd Fahie, who originally came to NMITC
from the Naval Intelligence Processing System Training Facility
(NIPSTRAFAC) just prior to the consolidation of that command with NMITC.
The competition was extremely keen among the nominees; however, in the end,
Petty Officer Fahie was the selected candidate. He supervises the maintenance

shop, which is responsible for
operating and maintaining all NIPS
related equipment.
NMITC has a very active,
professional civilian employee
population, and as such it was
extremely difficult to select a Civilian
of the Year. The honor this year went
to Mrs. B. J. Verkuilen, our typing
instructor in the IS "A" School. Our
civilian population has now been
totally integrated into the daily
operations of the command. Their
professional dedication to the mission
and management of NMITC has added
greatly to the quality of instruction
and support provided to our students.
Over half of our instructors have
been recognized by the Commander,
Training Command, U.S. Atlantic
Fleet (COMTRALANT) for their
instructional excellence and
professional performance in the
classroom. Those instructors so
recognized have been designated
Master Training Specialists by
COMTRALANT as determined by a
formal review board process. Many
long hours outside the classroom are
required to prepare lesson plans,
lectures, and audiovisual aids in order
to provide the best education possible.
Our students and the fleet deserve no
less.
This year will mark the
inauguration of a new award at
NMITC. The Vice Admiral Rufus L.
Taylor Intelligence Training Award
will be presented to the Navy or
Marine Corps instructor who has
demonstrated excellence and
conspicuous contributions to NMITC's
mission. Effective training is based
66
upon time-honored principles to which
Vice Admiral Taylor subscribed
throughout his career: professional
knowledge and intellect, ability to
command respect and motivate
subordinates, enthusiasm and
dedication to duty, communication
skills and poise, initiative and
personal integrity, military bearing
and appearance. Awardees will
receive a plaque, a cash award from
the Naval Intelligence Professionals
Foundation, and have their name
permanently inscribed on a plaque at
NMITC.
Awards and recognition are a
mainstay within the culture of any
organization; as a result, NMITC
strives to incorporate this philosophy
throughout the command. However,
many times medals, promotions, cash
awards, and other similar ways to
recognize individual accomplishment
are not possible in the military
community. A bit more latitude with
Civil Service employees is allowed, but
even this is limited by fiscal
constraints. It therefore becomes
important to find alternative ways to
thank individuals for a job well done.
Prime examples which are routinely
utilized at NMITC are Letters of
Appreciation, Recognition, and

NETWORKING
WITH
THE NAVAL SECURITY
AND
INVESTIGATIVE
COMMAND
By ENS Douglas J. Cawthra, USN
The Naval Security and Investigative Command (NSIC) has requested
classroom space at NMITC to conduct Foreign Counterintelligence (FCI),
Counterintelligence (CI) and Counterespionage (CE) training. NSIC training
has been conducted in the Washington D.C. area, where the facilities are
severely constrained. NMITC has responded to the need by allocating space for 5
courses of instruction, amounting to 16 total weeks of training with
approximately 150 students annually. In turn, NMITC will have a Naval
Investigative Service (NIS) special agent on staff to conduct the training and to
support Nmirrc by providing Cl/CE instruction to staff and students.
A benefit of this working agreement is that the NIS agents working
counterintelligence and counterespionage cases gain a better understanding of
the Naval Intelligence Community, and in turn the Naval Intelligence
Community will gain a better understanding of NIS operations. A thorough
understanding of our respective missions is essential to effective and harmonious
efforts.
Mr. Michael D. Bruggeman was selected to be the Criminal Investigator
assigned to NMITC. He has 15 years of experience as a special agent and has
been assigned as Head of the Counterintelligence Investigations and Technology
Transfer Division since September 1987. His duties will include, but not be
limited to, training CE/CI and FCI as well as serving as the subject matter expert
for all Cl/CE training. This is yet another effort by NMITC to network
throughout the U. S. Intelligence Community to bring the best possible training
to our educational center.

OSIS BASELINE UPGRADE
(OBU)
HOW WE ARE DOING....
By LCDR Don Olivier, USN
Today as never before, the U. S. Navy requires reliable, rapid
communications and accurate, timely intelligence to offset the increasing threat
of the Soviet Navy and other potential hostile forces. To satisfy this requirement,
the Ocean Surveillance Information System (OSIS), an essential element of the
Navy Command and Control System (NCCS), developed the OSIS Baseline
Upgrade (OBU) system. OBU is the heart of the OSIS system which was
designed to provide reliability through redundancy and simplicity, while
ensuring maximum user friendliness and speed of response.
It is interesting to note that the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy
(RAN) have also identified these C3I problems and have chosen to purchase OBU.
The RN and RAN have also elected to train their initial OSIS site personnel at
NMITC and to utilize NMITC and its mobile training teams to continue
supporting their training requirements.
Developing a training program for OBU proved to be a monumental task for
NMITC. Contractor-developed curricula, for both the System Management and
User courses, had to be restructured and redeveloped. NMITC formed a select
"Tiger Team", consisting of NMITC OBU personnel, three civilian educational
specialists and two contractor "system experts", who restructured and
redeveloped substandard OBU Curricula (thirteen weeks total) and student
guides in a remarkable three week timeframe.
As of this writing, only the first OBU User class (25 July - 19 August 1988)
has completed training. The first graduates were happy with the course and felt
confident that their OBU knowledge would enable them to use OBU in an
operational environment. NMITC's OBU staff intends to take training beyond
just training students to operate OBU. We intend to build our data base and,
with the aid of COMSIM (Communications Simulator), create a generic OSIS
operating environment.
NMITC's OBU staff is looking forward to the challenge of creating a simulated
OSIS environment on our training site and we actively solicit inputs and support
from the OSIS sites to make this a reality.

NAVY/MARINE CORPS
INTELLIGENCE TRAINING - THE
FUTURE...
By CAPT Robert T. Trafton, USN
LCDR Jerry Morganthall, USN
How do you think we are doing? Frankly, I feel good about our first two
years. Granted, we, like everyone else, are coping with serious money and
personnel shortfalls. But, given the time to sell and execute our requirements,
we will continue to provide quality training.
Naval Intelligence training has come a long way from the old wooden
buildings on the banks of the Potomac, the mountains in Colorado, the beaches
only 90 miles from Castro's Cuba, the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and the
world's largest naval base. Our new combined training facility (Layton Hall) on
the Atlantic shore in Virginia Beach has graduated in excess of 6,000 intelligence
professionals, while the Soviet Seapower Education Program has educated and
entertained over 65,000 U. S. and Allied military and civilian personnel since
July 1986. Impressive numbers, but we must remember they are just that ---
numbers.
As we in the intelligence profession prepare to enter the next decade and
shortly thereafter, the 21st century, there remains a tremendous amount of work
to do. More young warriors will continue knocking on the door, demanding a
quality education. We must plan NOW. Unfortunately, our schoolhouse has not
been spared the fiscal and manpower cutbacks being experienced by the military
complex. We have a responsibility to the nation and to those who follow in our
footsteps to do the very best job possible.
To that end, the Navy and Marine Corps intelligence team has taken giant
strides forward, and we must continue in that direction. As can be seen in several
of the preceeding articles, we have instituted cross-training in many of our
instructional courses. But this is just the beginning. This philosophy must be
expanded...and there are several vehicles available to the intelligence
community which can be energized to accomplish this task. The Navy
Intelligence Training Council (NITC) is attempting to get their arms around the
problems associated with bringing new systems on-line and providing the
accompanying training. Further, a set of goals and objectives which follow a
clear path to completion must be established and executed. Cooperation among
the military services will become essential if true "jointness" is to be attained.
The General Intelligence Training Council (GITC) is the DOD level organization
which must make this happen. We feel that the Master Intelligence Training

Plan - Architecture (MITP-A) can and
should be greatly expanded and
applied DOD-wide with respect to
intelligence training. All the Services
have unique training assets and
capabilities; we should be sharing
those to the maximum extent possible.
Finally, a National Intelligence
Training Plan (NITP) (yet to be
written) must address issues common
to the Services and various Agencies.
Intelligence training information
is just that.. .training information. It
matters not whether the Air Force,
Defense Intelligence Agency, Treasury
Department, Central Intelligence
Agency, Director of Marine Corps
Intelligence, or the Director of Naval
Intelligence has the information; a
mechanism must be established to
allow more cross-pollination of
training materials across the board.
We must lead our personnel, manage
our assets, and train our warriors of
the future in a smarter fashion. We
will always stress a close interface
between intelligence specialists and
the operators and never forget
...INTEGRITY.
The Navy and Marine Corps
Intelligence Training Center stands
ready to take professional intelligence
training into the next decade. We put
forth the challenge for the military
and national level intelligence
community to take a hard look at the
future, and explore how we can do the
current and projected missions with
fewer assets, without causing burnout
among our warriors. It can be done --
it is our responsibility to discover the
way and execute the plan that emerges
to continue TRAINING OUR
WARRIORS TO WIN!!
