1. During the period that the 25X1C
has been organized, the assigned reserve o cers and airmen have sought
short tours of active duty for training with various components of the
Air Force. In Fiscal Year 1953 a number of officers of this organization
applied for such duty, but only a few were accepted because of fund
limitations. So far in Fiscal Year 1951 it appears that this condition
will remain unchanged.
2. Due to the nature of the activities of the members of this
Squadron and their dealings with components of the Department of Defense
in the Washington area, it is evident that both the Air Force and the
Central Intelligence Agency would benefit greatly from their training
in the active Air Force establishment, in such specialized fields as
intelligence, transportation, operations, supply, and management. If
such a training program is approved, it is anticipated that members will
be made available for duty with units, including those at wing, numbered
Air Force and major command level, where their particular background 25X1C
and service can be best utilized.

Mik"i However, approximately three hundred Air
Force reserve officers are employees of the Central Intelligence Agency.
If an aggressive active duty training program were established, it is
believed that a greater number of these reservists would become interested
in the training activities of this Squadron. If they could be assured
of active duty training, this incentive would enable the Unit to increase
the effectiveness and scope of its weekly training program.
4. The future and present status of the has 25X1C
been discussed with the Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations, and other
staff personnel within Headquarters, U. S. Air Force, on an informal
basis. General concurrence has been expressed regarding the desire-
ability of developing and training an Air Force potential in the Central

is requested that $60,000 be made available for use by the
