CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
PROJECT USEFUL
COURSE NO. 14: 23 - 27 September 1968
BACKGROUND, OBJECTIVES, AND SCOPE
Since 1954 the CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
has annually presented an orientation course, known
as Project USEFUL, to senior officers of the Unified
and Specified Commands and to certain individuals of
CONUS elements. The primary objective of this ori-
entation is to maintain and improve. CIA - DOD coop-
eration by providing selected members of the Armed
Forces the opportunity to become more fully and ac-
curately acquainted with CIA's mission and capabilities
in peace and war. Key CIA officials will discuss the
functions of their components, with specific attention
to CIA's role in areas of common concern to the Intel-
ligence Community. Also, special emphasis will be
placed in the course on matters of direct interest to
the Armed Forces, such as war and contingency plan-
ning, scientific and technical intelligence, and the co-
ordination of foreign intelligence collection activities.
It is hoped that these briefings will contribute to a
better appreciation of how CIA and the military services
can provide mutual assistance in the difficult and vital
tasks which confront us all.
