1. (in response to your question to Office Directors on the possible use
of four additional personnel, I would propose to establish a Tactical Support
Group consisting of four professionals and one secretary. One position (Dick
is already available. STAT
2. The motivaton for this proposal is the obvious increase in interest
in DoD with support to operating forces and the implementation of NSD 58. The
growth of TIARA (especially the TCP and DRSP) and the proliferation of efforts
in both the NFIP and TIARA to develop systems to task, process, and dissemi-
nate information from the national community to operating forces has already
exceeded our current capability to effectively monitor developments. The
added emphasis on Continuity of Government and survivability also suffers from
the absence of a central focal point for program and budget review. Finally,
some functions previously performed in PAO and CT, such as monitoring exercise
support, have atrophied and need renewed emphasis. A proposed mission and
function statement is attached.
3. I would propose the TSG be headed by an SIS 1/2 and with two GS-15
and two GS-14 positions to be filled in laroely by military detailees and
civilian detailees from Defense elements.
4. The aggressive stance taken by Defense on these issues must be dealt
with soon or we will begin to lose control over some expensive initiatives
with significant impacts on the NFIP. Since we are considering FY 1984
augmentations, I am looking at some possible internal adjustments to cope with
the problem until relief is possible through the budgetary process.

TACTICAL SUPPORT GROUP
Mission: The Tactical Support Group (TSG) provides the resource
management coordination under which the DCI, in concert with the DoD, will
develop an integrated basis of NFIP systems' support for the needs of the
tactical forces. The Group coordinates the evaluation of Services' Tactical
Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) Office assessments of current
and planned capabilities of national systems to support military operations.
They will carry out the appropriate planning with the DoD to ensure that the
potential implications on tactical support programs' resource requirements are
considered as part of the NFIP program and budget process. Similarly, the
Group will evaluate the current and planned capabilities of the tactical
system to support national intelligence requirements and will coordinate with
DASD/C I to ensure these factors are considered in the DoD program and budget
process. The TSG will ensure the coordinated participation of all the neces-
sary NFIP staffs in evaluating of the effectiveness of the mutual support and
interoperability of national and tactical intelligence systems, including the
aspects of duplication, during cross-program reviews and system tradeoff
studies as appropriate.
Functions: The TSG will carry out functions in the main areas of tactical
support planning, program and budget evaluations and studies as follow:
-- Prepare inputs to the DCI's annual NFIP guidance with regard to
Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) and their
tactical support plans and needs.
-- Prepare DCI inputs to annual DoD guidance with reference to those
areas where TIARA activities provide valuable adjuncts to national
intelligence capabilities.
Participate in the annual update of the DoD Plan for Intelligence
Support to the Operating Forces.
Provide a ICS focus for TENCAP activities, including planning for the
Services' military field exercises which test and evaluate the
technical and operational feasibility of supporting military opera-
tions with national intelligence systems.
Act as a focus for cost/benefit evaluations of the TENCAP offices'
proposals for systems modification that effect the NFIP capabilities.
Identify and staff revisions to the plans of the Services and their
program proposals for improvement of the national support to tactical
forces.
Act as program monitor for Continuity of Government and cross-program
aspects of survivability.

and the feasibility of using national intelligence systems output for
the TIARA warning.
Assist C31, as appropriate, on TIARA issues during the TIARA
functional reviews and program development, and to evaluate TIARA
issues and PMD's effects upon NFIP systems and capabilities, and

capabilities.
Act as a point of contact for the OJCS, U&S Commands and Services as
to resource actions pending in the NFIP that could effect combat
