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

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
