OF THE JOINT STUDY GROUP
RECOMMENDATION
1. SecDef take appropriate action to bring
military intelligence organizations within
DOD into full consonance with the concept
of Defense. Reorganization Actof 1958.
Toward this end,
a. Establish a focal point for
management and coordination of DOD foreign
intelligence activities.
b. Strengthen the authority of the
Joint.Ghiefs of Staff in intelligence
coordination.an-d.operations by:
(1) Assigning increased intelli-
gence resources.
(2) JCS coordinate substantive
intelligence, notably estimates.
(3) JCS coordinate military
intelligence requirements.

Organizational changes are

JCS agent for providing intelli-

Unified commanders' intelligence

Action ,on this recommendation is

DIA is the primary JCS agent. The
necessary organizational realign-
ments have either been made or are
in process. Corresponding transfers
of personnel and resources are taking
place. DIA is moving forward in its
program of publishing a comprehensive
series of DOD collection guidance
documents. Plans have been. formulated
which assign specific responsibilities
to the U&S commands over such component
command intelligence activities as

production. One unified command has
activated an intelligence requirements
