SPECIAL BULLETIN
13 January 1969
To: Training Officers of the Clandestine Services
Ref: DDP/TRO Memorandum 08/67 of 15 March 1967 to all Staff
and Division Chiefs and all Senior Training Officers
Soviet Bloc Operations Course No. 3-69 will be given
27 January through 14 February 1969. PLEASE NOTE: This
is now a course of three weeks duration. It will be held
in Room lA 07, Headquarters from 0830 to 1700 daily. As
announced in the referent memorandum, this course is re-
quired for all CS staff officers and intelligence assistants
who are preparing for field assignments in which a sub- .
stantial amount of their time will be devoted to the Soviet
Bloc target or who have not had a recent permanent or
rotational assignment in the Soviet Bloc Division.
The Soviet Bloc Course is also offered for Head-
quarters CS Staff personnel who are engaged in activities
against the Soviet Bloc target; however, field personnel
will be given enrollment preference in the event the
course is oversubscribed.
The objectives of the course are to orient the
student on the special nature of the CS' Soviet Bloc
target and to examine the application of clandestine
methods for collecting information on, assessing, and
preparing recruitment operations against Soviet Bloc
personalities. The expansion of this course to a
three week format reflects the emphasis being placed on
operations against the Soviet Bloc target by the
Clandestine Services. The expanded course now devotes
one week exclusively to examining the character of the
Soviet Man today as a target of CS operations, and those
historical, cultural, political and social factors which
have influenced his psychological makeup.
