transferred the management of the Army Grill Flame effort to INSCOM. What thi
really means is as follows:
3. (S/NOFORN) BACKGROUND: The Army Grill Flame effort from 1978 through 1980
comprised a number of unrelated programs being carried out by separate commands.
Ongoing efforts at the Army Material System Analysis Agency (AMSAA), and at the
Missile Intelligence Agency (MIA) were not related to the operational program
being managed by INSCOM. Also, members of the OACSI staff were making inquiries
on their own at this time. In order to fully coordinate all aspects of the Army
Program, OACSI maintained tight control over the efforts of MIA, AMSAA, and
INSCOM. None of the participants were allowed to conduct liaison outside of Army

e. (U) OACSI is still responsible for policy matters for DA, and will
continue to interface with the appropriate elements as required.
5. (S/NOFORN) As BG Flynn pointed out in his short note, it is business as
usual except now INSCOM can move ahead at a faster pace (if desired), and can
decide where and with whom they want to conduct business. No set procedures
have been worked out regarding updating the ACSI, but we have always worked

very closely w' t he OAC i _.ts~:__,do sq. Any changes to
the c program will be fully coordinated to insure that all aspects of the
human use issue are met prior to starting any new initiatives.
