5. (S/SG/NF/LIMDIS) Operational Proficiency and Testing Activity. We have
recently completed a phase of proficiency programs for our personnel, and they
are now concentrating on supporting a variety of research programs. Thus,
there is a clear linkage and synergism between our external research efforts
and our in-house DIA capabilities. In light of the current work schedule, we
are currently developing a follow-on detailed schedule for a variety of
operational projects, which will be executed in FY92.
6. (S/SG/NF/LIMDIS) Miscellaneous Matters. In addition to the above, DIA is
also embarked on a number of other actions relative to Project STAR GATE. DIA
is currently identifying 10 civilian billets to provide permanent billets to
the STAR GATE unit, and this should be completed in the next month or so. In
the areas of health and safety, DIA has completed the renovation of the
interior of the two buildings used for Project STAR GATE. Regarding these
buildings, they are old structures that had been scheduled for demolition as
part of a Post renovation program. We are currently engaged in discussions
with the Post Commander to postpone or cancel the scheduled June 1993
demolition. The STAR GATE unit's ADP equipment is partially installed, and
the unit will be fully operational in the next few months. This equipment is
integral to the foreign data bases and to the operational/training programs.
7. (S/SG/NF/LIMDIS) Summary. DIA's overall assessment of the status of
Project STAR GATE is that all activities continue on schedule and that well-
defined management and execution plans exist to guide the program efforts and
to serve as an audit trail of the accomplishments and outstanding actions.
The next major milestones will be this summer, when we will complete the
research begun in FY91, will have updated assessments of foreign activities in
this area, and will have completed the key FY92 objectives.
