The ability of the USSR to wage offensive war is a primary factor which determines the preparations the United States must make for both defensive and offensive action. The United States lacks precise knowledge of the major economic, military, and political activities of the USSR. This lack of knowledge creates an atmosphere of uncertainty, provides an unsound basis for determining the National Defense program, and may lead to a state of economic and psychological tension which is unacceptable. Thus, the overwhelming need of the United States is that of securing reliable and conclusive evidence of the ability of the USSR to conduct war. This knowledge is a prerequisite to fulfilling our responsibility of maintaining the peace. 2. Aerial photography is recognized as being the most powerful single tool for gaining accurate information of the USSR. The Air Force is concerned with the problem of aerial photography as a portion of the reconnaissance mission. However, such a program utilizing current accepted aircraft is excessively dangerous due to the proba- bility of detection and possible destruction. It also is unwise for one of the military arms to engage directly in extensive overflight of the USSR. 3. Relatively safe overflights are now feasible. An aircraft has been developed with the capability of operating at an altitude such that, if detected, it can avoid destruction by current Russian defenses. Thus vehicles to fulfill the need are available. We believe these planes can safely conduct aerial photography and that no amount of indirect or fragmentary intelligence can equal the positive information afforded by such a program. The opportunity for safe overflight may be anticipated for only a few years as the Russians will develop defenses to counteract temporary aircraft superiority. For these reasons we are vigorously pursuing a program designed to secure intelligence information by aerial photography of the USSR. TAB ?An 4. Our mission is to conduct extensive overflights of the Soviet Bloc in order to provide photographic and secondarily elec- tronic intelligence; our tasks are to organize, equip, train and deploy overseas, units capable of performing our mission. 5. General direction and control of the project organized to perform our mission shall be exercised jointly by the Director of Central Intelligence and the Chief of Staff USAF. The project Head- quarters is headed by a CIA Project Director, an Air Force officer serves as Deputy Director. This Headquarters will be responsible for continued research and development, operational planning, and the direction and control of operations.

Rear, intermediate and forward stagingbases will be available 25X1C4a . 2. All pilots will be civilian. Maintenance, operations and 25X1C4e support personnel employed at forward bases will be civilian or mili- tary personnel in civilian dress 25X1C4e 3. The USAF will supply general support to this operation. Housekeeping support functions will be performed by personnel of the permanent USAF bases. Airlift support will be provided by special USAF units. 4. The first unit will be considered combat equipped and ready when six trained pilots and three aircraft are available for overflight operations. Overflight operations will begin at this point. 5. Initial operations will be launched from bases within easy reach of the heavily populated areas of Western Russia and her Western Satellites. 6. Initial operations will begin with "feeler type" missions. Sortie rates and penetration will build up gradually. Maximum monthly sortie rates will be 8 per aircraft and 4 per pilot.

Priority considered, flight routes will be planned in areas where sun angle and weather will permit the greatest amount of photo- graphic coverage. Route weather will be one of the major factors in flight planning. 10. For the purpose of determining equipment and personnel. requirements a sustained operation is assumed. For the purpose of mission planning and priority establishment the possibility of having to cease operation at any time is assumed. Activities under this project fall into three phases. First are the activities dealing with research and development, procurement, the construction and activation of a test and training base, the test- ing of equipment, and operational planning. These activities are well along. The second phase will be devoted to training and deploy- ment overseas. The third phase is that of active operations from overseas bases. In April 1956 the first operationally ready unit will be deployed to a base in to begin clandestine overflights of the USSR. It is probable that this first unit will also launch missions from forward staging bases. The second unit will become operationally ready July 1956 and will possibly be deployed to The third unit to become operationally ready will be based in Europe or will be used to supplement the units in place in 25X1D0b In order to reach all points within the USSR, flights must be staged in and out of bases in These 25X6C staging missions are not planned for the first months of the over- flight operation. Staging missions will require that a maintenance and communications capability be moved to the pre or post-strike staging area. This will require in addition to the necessary arrange- ments with local governments, a considerable amount of support from the USAF in the form of airlift. The USAF will organize units to support each of our operational units. These units will provide logistics support at the home base as well as airlift during staging operations. Control of our operations will be maintained by Central Project Headquarters in Washington. This will require: that the Field Unit Commanders be given limited authority to plaL and launch overflights. A considerable degree of control will have to be main- tained, however, in cases where flights from one unit may conflict with those of another and when base facilities of another unit are required for staging.

Modification and development of equipment will continue indefinitely as experience gained through active operations defines the need for modification. In addition, electronic systems 2 and 4, package will not be completed by the time the first detachments are deployed overseas and are in active operations. For these reasons Phase One will be considered completed for individual items on the date they have been developed, tested, proved equal or superior to specifications and delivered to personnel of the project. This is defined as the operationally available date. Operational planning will also continue through Phases Two and Three. For the purpose of this study operational planning consists of two parts. First of these is planning concerned with organizing and equipping units so that they are capable of accomplishing their mission after receiving adequate training and direction. The target date for completion of this for each detachment is established as the date each detachment enters into training. The second part is planning concerned with training and utilization of these units. The target date for this is also established as the date of entry of individual detachments into training status. The unit will be considered operationally ready and training completed when the unit has performed successful missions in protracted operations under simulated overseas conditions.

Because of the sensitive nature of the Project, administrative control between Central Project Headquarters in Washington and units in the field will, exist in a direct line, without reference to any command lines now in being between Washington and any other operations now in the field under the same sponsorship. 2. Local administrative control of detachments in the field will be vested in a senior Administrative Officer with each detachment, responsible for supervision of all maintenance and support activities under the command of the letachment Commander. In order to simplify local administration of each detachment, the senior Administrative Officer will have delegated to him as many administrative authorities as possible, subject only to the orders of the Detachment Commander and to subsequent review by Central Project Headquarters. 3. Special arrangements will be made to effect disbursements covering salary, per diem, and/or allowances to all overseas Detachment personnel regardless of their parent service or sponsor. 4. Administrative control over staff personnel, contract personnel and USAF types (less theatre support personnel) will reside in Central Project Headquarters. Similar control over contractor-supplied personnel will be provided through close liaison with the affected contractors, and through the medium of terms of contractor employment contracts previously negotiated under Central Project Headquarters guidance. S. Subject to the determinations of the Project Director, ultimate financial responsibility for the Project lies within the.Administrative Staff. Systems of proceas and procedures for allocating funds, establishing Obligations, performing audits, maintaining recordings of All monetary transactions, and preparation of Financial Status Records on the Project, will be established within Central Project Headquarters. Each overseas Detachment will have its own Finance Officer, trained by Central Project Headquarters. Prior to the activation of a Detachment overseas, a detailed financial plan, setting forth the mechanics of pining funds, rendering services, maintaining accountings and making and disposing of reports will be prepared and made available to the Detachment Finance Officer.

Through the Project Contracting Officer, administrative responsibility for the contracts executed between the sponsor and the various contractors for the provision of supplies and services, will reside in the Project Administrative Staff. The Staff will establish systems necessary to permit prompt and accurate disposition of the accounts of all contractual transactions initiated at the direction of responsible Project officials. 7. Although the Project Administrative Staff exercises administra- tive control over, and responsibility for, Project security, both within the ZI and overseas at Detachment locations, the Security Plan is set forth separately in Annex 3. 8. The Central Project Headquarters Administrative Staff will furnish support policy guidance to Detachments in the field, as required, under the direction of the Project Director.

Phase 1 administrative support will be concerned with the formulation and revision of a Project Table of Organization, reflecting operational and support emphasis, and with the acquisition of a Project Staff as set forth therein. (See Attachment A to Annex 2) The Project assumes responsibility for the identification, recruitment, selection and clearance of personnel required to man the Project. These fall into four primary categories: 25X1Al2a a. Staff D,.loyees - to be assigned to the Project from the ranks of avellab e sponsor personnel, or directly from sources in civilian life. Assignment to the Project is controlled by the Project Director. b. Contract Employees - either indigenous or nationals recruited for their skills and under legal contract to the sponsor solely for the life of the Project. Normally this category will comprise pilot personnel. d. Contractor Personnel - This category consists of civilians recruit- ed and selected by contractors of the Project, solely for maintenance and operation of the primary mission aircraft and its components. Security clearances are handled by sponsor Security elements, and, subject to approval by the Project Director, selected individuals may be assigned by the Contractor for duty with the Prqject. They are not directly employed by the Government, but the Project retains a review function over contract terms of employment, and may request the removal of any such employee from association with the Project, should circumstances require. 2. The Table of Organization is coordinated with the Air Force so far as structure and specialty content are concerned, and then formally approved as a sponsor Project T/0 by appropriate sponsor officials. It may be amended in line with changing operational concepts and requirements.

Certain sponsor-furnished personnel will also be detailed to the Project to handle specific policy, operational or support functions, without appearing on the Project T/0. This group is so detailed with the approval of the Project Director. 4. The Project Administrative Staff will also assume primary responsibility for the erection and maintenance of the Project Training and Test Site, located within the ZI. Consultative services on construction and maintenance matters is supplied by the Project Architect, Engineer; construction and maintenance contracts will be let through the mechanism of an Apparent co-sponsoring Agency acting as a cut-out both for letting contracts and effecting payments. Work on the Test Site willte performed by a civilian contractor unwitting of sponsoring interest. 5. Administrative responsibility at the Test and Training Site resides in the Deputy Base Commander, a civilian staff employee supplied by Central Project Headquarters. He reports to, and is under the guidance of, a senior USAF officer, assigned as Base Commander at the Training and Test Site. This officer is responsible only to the Project Director. 6. During Phase 1, the Project Contracting Officer, under the direction of the Project Director, will contract with certain civilian industrial suppliers, for the production of the primary mission aircraft and such components as are deemed necessary to its successful operation. Records of such contracts will be maintained in the Administrative Staff, Central Project Headquarters, and payment plans will be executed and administered from the same locale.

Phase 2 is concerned with training and deployment of Detachment personnel for overseas duty, and will overlap with Phase 3. the responsi- bility for the training phase rests with a special component of the USAF, which will detail a mission to the Training and Test Site, under a senior USAF officer, especially for this purpose. This mission will be charged with the responsibility for determining combat-readiness of each overseas Detachment. 2. During Phase 2, Central Project Headquarters will determine what physical support facilities are required at each overseas operating base, and will levy a reqpirement on USAF through USAF Project Headquarters to provide such facilities, including new construction particular to this Project. Such advice and guidance SA may be required on special Project construction requirements will come from the Project Director through the Administrative Staff to USAF Project Headquarters. . 3. Maintenance and Support elements of overseas Detachments will be asseMbled? so far as is possible, at Central Project Headquarters for training and indoctrination, and will proceed to the Training and Test Site for actual field experience in their respective, jobs. Contractor- furnished elements of the Maintenance and Support Section of each overseas Detachment will proceed to the Training and Test Site without indoctrination at Central Project Headquarters* 4. The Project Administrative Staff will assume responsibility for the physical preparation for overseas duty of all personnel assigned to the Project. Immunization, documentation, passports, visas and payment plans will be worked out either through sponsor's facilities, or, in the case of Civilian contractor employees, through their company headquarters under Project direction. Pilot personnel, either indigenous or U.S. national will be procesaed for overseas through sponsor facilities in Central Project Headquarters. 5. Maintenance and support elements of each overseas Detachment, under command of the Detachment Administrative Support officer, will be deployed approximately 30 days in advance of the commencement of hment operations.
