'OPERATION ALERT 1955
SUBJECT: Communication
1. Pux. qse: This annex offers suggestions and guidelines for
certain communication procedures for Operation.Alert.
2. 'Assumption: No special assumption.
3. General guidance, instructions, and information.
a. To insure transmission, receipt, and delivery of messages,
a simple accounting system is required. This operation is .perfor'me'd by
each agency .at its. Emergency Relocation Site by a MESSAGE CENTER.
Specifically., the Message Center is charged with the acceptance of
message traffic for transmission and delivery. In some agencies the
teletype operator can perform all the functions of the Message Center,
however,. in most agencies additional people will be required to process
and deliver messages. Quite often it is a part of. the Administrative
Office of the agency.
b. The following forms are, suggested for controlling messages:
(1) !' IN" iUi.e S tteero. On this register is entered the
message number received during the. current day, date time group, where
the message came from, time of receipt, time of delivery, and to whom
it was delivered.
(2) "OUT" Message Register. On this register is 'entered the
number of the message (sometimes -.called the "Station Serial Number"),
date time group, station to whom the message is sent, and time the
message is sent.
(3) A Message Delivery List may be used if it is desired to
have a signature for each message delivered.
(4) List of signatures of those in your agency authorized
to release official messages.

L~utgoin Uncles assified Messages
(1) Information on preparing messages has been supplied
separately and it is recommended that Communication Officers reproduce
it for assistance to those who write messages within the agency. Message-
form blanks are available from the Office of Defense Mobilization.
(2) Nlessage originators should submit one original and one
carbon copy to the Message Center.
(3) Upon receipt of messages for transmission, the Message
Center verifies, its.. completeness, accuracy, and authenticity.
NOTE: No message should be accepted unless it is an official message
and its release has been authorized. The best assurance of this. is the
maintenance of a signature file in the Message Center containing examples
of the signatures of, those persons authorized to prepare and release
message traffic. to sure to check that the word "UNCAPII 'appears as'
the first and last word in "problem play" messages.
(4) Enter the time received and number of the message on
each copy. Make necessary entries on the 1'OUT :register." On the copy
for the teletype operator, insert at the top of the message the TW"X call
.signs, routing or address indicators, The "TO" and "FROM" in English
is not transmitted.
(5) When the message has been sent by' the teletype Operator,
the "Time of Sending" and initials of the operator is placed on the message
which is returned to the writer for his files. Appropriate entries are made
in the Message Center "OUT Register,"
d. Incoming Unclassified Messages.
(1) When the Message Center is first established it will be
necessary to determine what its message distribution will be and arrange-
ments rnade.,for providing an adequate number of message copies.
Card files (one alphabetical by personnel and one cress.
referenced by area, function, or unit as may be applicable for each agency)
have been found useful in agency routing procedures in connection with the
Message Delivery List. Few messages will' bbe from person to person.
(2) Essentially the procedure is the same as that for outgoing
messages. Information to complete the "IN Register" is taken from the
message prior to delivery to addressee. Thq Time of Delivery (TOD) is
completed when the addressee or his representative signs for the message.

(3) The coded address and routing indicators are replaced by
agency resignations in English prior to delivery.
.(4) Iviark the classification on the top and bottom of the
message before it is delivered.
e.
Classified Messages
.
(1) Classified messages are processed and discussed as..above
except that cryptographic personnel normally complete all the entries on
a similar cryptographic center register.'
(2) Classified messages are generally not received by the
Message Center Register Clerk, but go directly to the Cryptographic
Center for processing. In small centers the same individual(s) may per-
form all the above functions and duties.
(3) Group counts consisting of the actual count of the cypher
groups in the message text is entered on the cypher copy which is routed
and prepared for transmission.
(4) Mark security precedence top and bottom.
(5) Mark "PARAPHRASE NOT RECUI.t3ED" or ?IPARAP`):HRASE
RECUIiED" as the message requires.
(6) Check for security violations.
(7) Observe all security regulations pertaining to the security
classification of the message.
General Information
(1) Close the day's business at midnight (2400.R). Complete
files of incoming and outgoing messages, in numerical order. Start the
new business day at 0001R with new registers and a new sequence of
message serial numbers.
(2) An agency relocation site telephone directory, local
roster of agency personnel, and a copy of C.A.PCOMM, and a copy of
FCDA Standards for Operations Alert 1955 should be available in the
Message Center.

OPERATION ALERT 1955
SUBJECT: Sequence Qf Operational Play for Operation Alert 1955.
1. Pur ose. To.provide guidance on the sequence of operational
play to insure a uniform order of events with procscribed timing.
2. Assumptions
a. That each agency will have a pre-test cadre operating at
site (reference letter April 14,? 1955,? subject: Activation. of Relocation
Sites).
This cadre should be carefully chosen as this group will have
to conduct the agency operations during the first several hours of the
exercise while the main body.o#' p_ersoniiel?are enroute. (reference
General Statement. on Ope.r.aticin. Alert 1955,' dated April 28, 1955,
paragraph 4).
b. That the selected maximum "key corps" of each agency
at the relocation site, from arrival to end of exercise, will be capable
of directing and controlling a succession of consecutive! problems with
uniformity and simplicity,
c. These actions must be specifically geared to the test con-
ditions of determining the over-all effectiveness of continuity of government
by means of agency relocation sites and their capabilities of maintaining
with timely communication and interagency coordination, the continuity
of operation by the agency and by the government under the attack con-
ditions.
a. Telescoped time for the Exercise, Problems arising under
simulated attack conditions will be time-phased within the telescoped time
periods as follows:

"Operation Alert 19551})
SUBJECT: Damage Assessment and Operational Data
1. urvose. This Annex discusses the availability of information
during Operation Alert 1955. It should be ,read in conjunction with the
General Statement on Operation Alert 1955, dated April 28, 1955,
especially paragraphs 2, 5 and 6 ,:
The purpose of this rnern;orandu.rn is to inform the agencies that
information on the simulated attack will be sent out from High Point
during Operation Alert to assist ther:r, in carrytg out their ernergericy
functions. This memorandum will describe the maximum information,
to be expected, during Operation Alert, on
A. Damage assessment as prepa're`d at High Point; and
B. Civil defense reports, as prepared at Low Point., reported
through High 'Point.
2. Assumptions. No special assumptions.
3. General uidance, instructions, and information. Each agency
is instructen to plan its activities during Operation Alert 1955 on the
basis of its own information and that listed below,
If advance plans reveal the need for information which is not
listed in this memorandum and which the agency is not able to obtain
by itself, a request for the additional information should be made to
the Damage Assessment and Operational Data coordinator: Information
which proves to be essential during the exercise, but for which no
advance provision was made will have to be requested as a part of
the exercise,
It is not likely that any organized information beyond that listed
below can be prepared and rna;de available in time for the test. How-
ever, formulation of needs wilt aid future planning and facilitate
evaluation of operations under Operation Alert with regard to such
information.

The damage assessment activity consists of an assembly of
data previously collected and arranged to permit approximate
assessment of damage from the assumed type of attack. The data
are then tabulated in national summaries and certain kinds of data
are tabulated by metropolitan areas. The results should be
moderately accurate as gross indications of damage but it should be
kept in mind that they are based an rough indicators of the areas
da raged. 'I he dan-age assessment analysis, like other parts of the
exercise, is only partially developed and is being tested for its
effectiveness. Present plans call for more kinds of information
to be introduced into the tabulations and specific account will be
taken of evacuation, which is not included in the damage assessment
at this time.
In general, information will be released to the agencies by
High .:point earlier in the exercise than might be strictly realistic.
This is to allow the agencies to have the use of the information
during the greater part of the period June 15,17.
Civil Defense Reports
'I he Federal Civil Defense Administration has provided for
two kinds of reports to be made thru its administrative channels:
A, Flash reports on attacks, eva.cuatiopi, etc, (See FCDA
"Standards for the Detailed Development of National Civil Defense
Test Exercise Operation Alert 1955, " Appendix D, Information Re-
porting Guide. )
B. . Situation reports on whole blood, water supply, mass feed.
ing, rail transport, etc. (See "Standards, " Appendix 11, Code for
Reporting Essential Items of Information and for Posting Emergency
Operations Center Status Boards).
Low Point is responsible for evaluating all Civil Defense
emergency information received and will prepare and issue reports
of the. evaluated information for High Point staff and for relay to other
Federal agencies. The followin& will be relayed to High ?pint:
(1) Flash reports on evacuation.
(2) Flash reports on cities hit.

utilizing the code provided in Appendix H of the
exercise standards.
(6) Summary reports of evaluated information.
(7) Factual summaries indicating the status of the
situation and actions being taken to assist attacked
cities.
Note: The summaries in (6) and (7) will be prepared approximately
'for each 3-hour period. The other information will be pre-
pared periodically based on receipt of information received
from the field through Civil Defense channels.

IAC PLAN FOR OPERATION ALERT 1955
1/
1. General Purpose:
a. To evaluate the effectiveness of relocation planning;
b. To determine present ability to conduct essential war-
time functions of the Federal Government at relocation
sites under conditions of sustained alert; and
c. To test ability to deal with problems arising under
attack conditions.
2. General Assumption: l /
Insofar as day-to-day activities pertaining to essential
wartime functions are concerned, no attack has taken place, i. e. ,
Washington is intact, but the situation is critical and a partial
relocation has been ordered.
3. Role of NSC in the 15-17 June Exercise:
The President has stated that the National Security Council
should be prepared to meet on its regular schedule during the
15-17 June exercise. He has not said where it will meet, nor has
an exact agenda been set.
4. Role of the IAC in the 15-17 June Exercise:
The IAC may be called upon to advise the Director of
Central Intelligence in discharging his responsibilities as
intelligence advisor to the President and the NSC.

5. Specific Problems:
a. To meet a real emergency if one develops during the
b.
course of the exercise;
To convene the IAC if it becomes necessary to do so
in support of NSC action; and
To test arrangements made by and the facilities at
the disposal of the intelligence community for
coordinating its activities from relocation centers.
6. Real Emergency :
In the event of a real emergency requiring the IAC to
meet during the 15-17 June exercise, the IAC will meet on call in
Washington, at its regular meeting place.
7. Emergency Drill:
In the event the IAC is called upon to meet to act on a matter
in support of the drill, the meeting will be convened by the Chairman
either at the CIA relocation center or at the Defense relocation
center, depending on the nature of the IAC action, the current loca-
tion of the IAC members, and the time and place of the ensuing NSC
meeting.
8. Testing Interagency Coordination:
In any event, the member agencies of the IAC will conduct
some item of IAC business at the representatives' level to test
communications between the relocation centers of the IAC agencies
and the CIA relocation center, and the availability of intelligence
materials available at relocation centers. The test will be held
on 16 June, at a time and on a subject to be announced approxi-
mately 24 hours in advance of the required action.

9. Resolution of Operational and Procedural Problems:
Telecommunications and courier service will be used to
the maximum extent. Only important matters which cannot be
resolved by IAC representatives will be brought before the IAC.
10. Validity of Existing Directives:
All existing directives and agreements will be maintained
in force consistent with the new situation. For example, in the
preparation of national intelligence estimates, the procedure
outlined in DCID 3/5 will be followed insofar as possible, though
emphasis will be put on getting access to documents already within
the possession of departmental contributors and on oral contributions.
11. Role of IAC Subcommittees:
No special exercise is planned for the various IAC sub-
committees though action matters may be referred to the Chairman
of the following:
a. JAEIC
S. NIS
c. IPC
d. EIC
e. SEC
f. Watch Committee
12. Liaison Arrangements:
Members of the IAC will, as feasible, station representatives
for liaison purposes with the Chairman, at the CIA relocation center.
The Director of Central Intelligence will be prepared to station a
representative at the relocation centers of the IAG members.
