Tentative agenda of discussion, GRA and DA
1. Assuming that GRA's intelligence assets at the relocation center will
be selective, limited, and current, what is the extent of support that can
be expected from AMS in the event of an emergency?
a. What is the anticipated role of AMS at their relocation center?
What function or service will they perform for the military staffs? For
Special Forces?
b. What changes are anticipated or planned in the organization,
personnel, and functions from the present AMS setup?
c. What facilities are planned for wartime relocation? Are any
peacetime preparations being made in anticipation of wartime needs?
e. Specifically, what large-scale map coverage is to be stockpiled?
Special subject maps and reports by ESID?
2. Assuming that ACSI intelligence support in a wartime relocation
situation would involve the production of operational support research,
what kinds of service does AMS expect from GRA?
a. Assistance on operational research? Use of D/GG research files?
b. Cooperation on Special Forces operational support research?
c. Access to special subject maps in the GRA relocation depository?
d. Cartographic or photo interpretation support?
3. Assuming that Special Forces maintains a relocation headquarters at
which training and planning functions are carried out, what functions or
service can GRA perform in support of those functions?
a. To what degree will ACSI supply intelligence support for Special
Forces operational planning and training?
b. What extent of cooperation and coordination is desired from GRA?
c. To what extent could Special Forces relocation personnel perform as
an advisory group on specialized operation research problems? Does Special
Forces plan to maintain special types of intelligence relating to
unconventional warfare?

4. Under the above conditions, what should be the extent and nature of
coordination between ACSI and Special Forces?
a. To what degree is the coordination of the GRA operational research
effort and that of the military services desirable?
b. What forms and methods of coordination and liaison are anticipated?
c. What effect will coordination have upon the flexibility of the
operational research effort of ACSI or GRA?
5. It is suggested that the following guide lines be used in discussions:
a. Avoid overly-specific discussion of coordination, considering; the
constantly evolving missions, functions, and personnel of the other services.
b. Plan for a small, versatile GRA support function based upon
our on needs primarily, but with the possibility of expanding support as
the need arises.
c. Plan for the continual appraisal of related service activities
in the future through periodic contacts between GRA personnel and their
opposite numbers in Army, Air, Navy, and DD/P. Their war plans are
constantly evolving, and since ours is essentially a service function, we
should make an effort to keep current on their activities and consistently
re-evaluate our capabilities with the changing situation.
