1. (U) On 30 July 1979, the monthly meeting between AMSAA and
INSCOM GRILL FLAME personnel took place at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, Maryland. The following personnel attended the meeting:
MAJ(P) Watt, Project Manager, INSCOM
1LT Atwater, Assistant Project Manager, INSCOM
Lynne Taylor, Project Manager, AMSAA
Three other members of AMSAA GRILL FLAME Staff
2. (S) We spent the first two hours reviewing the status of our
program, including how training was progressing at SRI. We
explained our concept of how to train using coordinates in lieu
of "beacons" and that our process would involve three training
phases.
3. (S) A14SAA took the rest of the morning updating us on the
status of their program. All were encouraged that the AMSAA
program seems to be back on track and they are now doing remote
viewing sessions on a weekly basis.
4. (5) AMSAA personnel briefed us concerning the meeting they
had with the GRILL FLAME Evaluation Team (DOD) on Friday, 27
July 1979. The Evaluation Team had just returned from visiting
SRI and did have some faults to find with the procedures used by
SRI--in particular, the team did not like the restricted target
pool or the judging procedures currently utilized by SRI. The
team is scheduled to visit INSCOM and AMSAA sometime in Sep 79.
5. (U) 1LT Atwater briefed on his recent trip to Philadelphia
and covered the highlights of the seminar. We encouraged AMSAA

personnel to take advantage of similar seminars as they help to
provide a broader base upon which to build our respective programs.
6. (U) I mentioned that MAJ Stoner (OACSI) had suggested that
INSCOM contact the CDEC folks at Fort Ord to coordinate possible
involvement of INSCOM personnel in ongoing program being monitored
by AMSAA. I asked if AMSAA would object and was told "no" but
that if John Kramar had objections they would have him contact me.
7. (U) AMSAA felt that in the near future they would be:
a. Using video-tape to cover their sessions.
b. Have DACOM capability VIA local SSO and when operational
we could share near real-time sessions.
8. (U) AMSAA asked us to provide them with some target packages,
complete with feedback. I told them we would but could not promise
a delivery date at this time.
9. (S) I requested AMSAA do some work with providing remote
viewers limited feedback on same target to see if resolution
improves. They did not seem too receptive to the idea although
they did not reject it.
10. (U) No date was set for the next meeting. I suggested
that the next meeting be held at Fort Meade.
