THE RECORD SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME: PROGRESS REPORT` #f1 (U) 1. (U) Period Covered: 27 October 1978 - 16 February 1979 2. (U) Purpose: The purpose of the progress report is to provide periodic status reports concerning INSCOM's involvement in project GRILL FLAME. These reports will be shown to "keyt0 INSCOM personnel and then only after the INSCOM GRILL FLAME Project Officer has determined that a "need-to-know" exists. 3. (S/ORCON) Introduction: Sometime during the month of October 1978, Colonel A. W. Hamel, ADCSOPS-HUMINT, INSCOM, was tasked by the DCSOPS, INSCOM, to provide a Project Officer for a new program that INSCOM was becoming involved in at the direction of the ACSI. Major Murray B. Watt., PPPA, ADCSOPS-HUMINT, was selected to be the INSCOM Project Manager (PM) and on 27 October 1978 was so notified. In short, the new project involved the development of a program using parapsychology phenomena for intelligence applications. INSCOM was verb-- ally tasked (Note: There exists no written tasking between OACSI and HQ, INSCOM) to explore the technique of remote viewing using INSCOM selected personnel who would be trained by Stanford Research Institute - Inter- national (SRI). Remote viewing pertains to the ability of certain individual.:, to access and describe, by means of mental. processes, informa-. tion sources blocked from ordinary perception, and generally accepted as secure against such access. 4. (S/ORCON) Tasking: As previously stated, HQ INSCOM never received any written tasking on this subject. However, the CG, INSCOM and the ACSI had agreed upon the concept of remote viewing and the need for Army involvement in this area. At TAB A is a copy of the revised Statement of Work which provides for the training of three INSCOM personnel by SRI. ARMY review(s) completed.

(S/ORCON) Project Development: The initial concern of the Project Manager (I'M) was to develop a full. understanding of parapsychology and the various aspects of the phenomena. Towards this end, the PM has been greatly assisted by Lieutenant Frederick H. Atwater. LT Atwater, although assigned to the Special Security Detachment, 902d MI Group, was attached to the GRILL FLAME project because of previous research into this area during work on a separate project. a. To develop a sense of appreciation for an understanding of para- psychology, the PM undertook a vigorous Research Program (which is still ongoing) to include the following: (1) Extensive reading on the subject matter. (2) Visits to DOD officials with knowledge of the subject matter. (3) Visits to SRI (see TABs B and C). (4) Visits to AMSAA (see TABs D and E). b. On 24 November 1978, the tentative milestone schedule for INSCOM GRILL FLAME activity was submitted to the ADCSOPS-HUMINT (COL Hamel) for his approval (see TAB F). c. DOD Committee Action: On 28 November 1978, the first meeting of the Working Group Committee of the DOD Special Sensors Project met at DIA. (See TAB (3.) One of the first actions of the Working Group was to form- ally change the name of the group to the DOD GRILL FLAME Committee. The Working Group will meet at the call of the Chairperson, Dr. Jack Vorona, DIA. MAJ Watt, not only is a member of the Working Group, but he also sits on the two Ad Hoc Committees formed to establish "Goals and Objec- tives" and to develop "experimental protocol and methods for validating experiments. " d. DA GRILL FLAME Committee: DA representatives met at HQ DARCOM on 28 November 1978 to discuss Project: GRILL FLAME and what the Army position should be (see TAB H). e. Procedures for conducting "Survey" --?- Throughout the orientation period, MAJ Watt and LT Atwater were busy preparing a method that would help them select the INSCOM personnel who would volunteer for participa- tion in the GRILL FLAME Project that INSCOM was going to carry out. It was decided to conduct an interview with selected INSCOM personnel throughout the great:er Washington. area. The interviews would serve as the "guise" under which project personnel could obtain viewpoints, Approved For Release 2005103109 : 9A-RDP96-00788R001500040003-0 pj r~ov~ Vor Release 20Q5/03/r~0 CfJ4=RDP'9 =067 $F Q'f 0004 103-0 IAF@1--OPS-HU 21 February 1979 SUBJECT: INSCOM PROJECT GRILL FLAME:.

The selec- tion criteria/process was carried out in the following manner: (1) Decision made to interview only WO/OFF/Civilians (GS9 and above).* (2) Initial elimination based on: (a) Commander's evaluation. (b) Retainability - at least 20 months. (c) Health. (d) Not readily available (programmed TDY, schools, etc.). (3) Conduct personal interviews/survey. (4) Reassessment process. (5) Request specific personnel to volunteer for INSCOM program..

(7) Final decision/selection of personnel. *Exceptions to this rule were made in three cases when project personnel received strong recommendations concerning three individuals who did not meet original criteria. f. Security Aspects: Throughout the developmental phases of this project., security has been of primary concern--not only security of GRILL FLAME itself but security/safety of personnel involved with the project:. Access to GRILL FLAME. information is limited to a "Strict Need-to- Know Basis" and the PM maintains a Security Access Roster of all INSCOM personnel with knowledge of the activities of the program. Further, the PM serves as POC for all other agencies desiring GRILL FLAME information including security status as regards GRILL FLAN, 6. (S/ORCON) Future Plans: The coming weeks will basically be devoted to the following activities: a. Initial in-house training of all project personnel. b. Training at SRI. c. Establishing procedures and determining appropriate applications. MURRAY 3.

Activity (U) (S) This note is for the purpose of establishing policy with respect to OUSDRE support of investigations into parapsychology and its potential military applications. (S) Based upon the December 1979 report of the GRILL FLAME Scientific Evaluation Committee and upon my own sense of priorities for efforts within the OU DR , 1' believe it appropriate that the Recommendations of Chapter 3, pa;ns 10 and 11, relating to OUSDRE activities be implemented. S 'The' slibff:nc6 Uf. thine"rccaanmentiori thei-r-late ` _._..__.. OUSDRE is that it was found to be not -appropriate-t<:r -fund-_.___. technology programs aimed at scientific demonstration of the existence of the subject effects, and that. as a consequence future work at AMSAA and Huntsville in t.hee areas not be auth- orized by USDRE. Therefore, no new work will be initiated under the sponsorship of ?USDRE in the areas of potential military application of parapsychology effects. (S) other recommendations in the report deal. with intelligence related R&D and suggest a colltinuati.on of low level efforts within the INSCOM. These activities clearly are outside the responsibility of otJSDRE and therefore are neither endorsed - rbor denied. When intelligence rela.t.ecd parapsycholc gical efforts require support by OUSDRE personnel or faci.li ti o,;, I would like. ro be advised, but interpose no objection if t_ht level of their requests are not an appreciable fraction of the work of the facility involved. ;Ii~trn J.

(S/NOFORN) The US Army Intelligence and Security Command's (INSCOM) Project GRILL FLAME investigates and applies remote viewing phenomena in support of important foreign intelligence and US counterintelligence requirements. INSCOM employs active duty military and-Department of the Army civilians in-.,the execu- tion of the project. Both the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and INSCOM purchase the services of private contract personnel. In support of GRILL FLAME. During FY 82, INSCOM plans to train two newly assigned personnel in remote viewing tecchniques and con- tinue to conduct operational sessions against important foreign FOIAb5 intelligence and counterintelligence requirements. 3. (S/NOFORN) The US Army IN'SCOM GRILL FLAME activities satisfy the human use stapda.rds of Section 3, Procedure 18. All Army GRILL FLAME participants are volunteers who have executed written state- ments of informed consent. Representatives from the Army General Counsel and the Office of the Army Surgeon General provide legal" and medical oversight. All contracts entered into by INSCOM con- tain the written commitment that the provisions of Procedure 18, DOD Regulation 52140.1-R will be followed. The DIA contract monitor ensures the contracted party executes their Procedure 18 responsi- bilities.

(S/NF) The reference limited OUSDRE sponsorship of GRILL FLAME research activities, but interposed no objection to low-level support to intelligence-related efforts. (S/NF) Since 1980, jointly sponsored research by DIA and Army INSCOM has shown GRILL FLAME to have potential for military applications. In the classified annex to the FY 1983 Authorization Conference Report, however, the Intelligence Committee conferees agreed that if research were to continue, it should be outside the National Foreign Intelligence Program. Although DIA should have sufficient funding in FY 1983 to complete its GRILL FLAME evaluation, the conferees did not provide resources for Army intelligence participation in the project. (S/NF) A scientific review of GRILL FLAME evidence accumulated in the course of a 'hree-year National Foreign Intelligence Program study is to be completed by early April 1983. In the interim, Program 6 resources may be used to maintain the current Army INSCOM capability and supplement as necessary the FY 83 DIA evaluation effort. I would like to be informed in aI'vance of the proposed Program 6 funding sources identified to sL_aort these intelligence research activities. Future OUSDRE sponsoret, o of GRILL FLAME or related activities will depend in part on the results of the DIA evaluation and any other such review as I cc: Director, Defense Intelli- gence Agency Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, USA.

(S/CL-2/NOFOPN) MILITARY OBJECTIVE: It is the objective of these procedures to maintain thee quality of psychoenergetic training and applications so that CENTER LANE will continue to support the broad spectrum of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements in collection, target acquisition, and deception. 4, (S/CL-3/NOFOPN) MILITARY APPLICATIONS: CENTER LANE applications of psychoenergetics include but are not limited to: (1) targeting of key enemy military personnel from covert agents to key battle commanders, (2) monitoring hostile military movements, lines of communication, and specific. technologies, (3) detecting changes in the state of military units, (4) detecting and assessing hostile intelligence efforts targeted against friendly units/missions, and (5) detecting and assessing hostile technological capabilities in specific locations. Since US Army personnel, units, materiel, and operations are subject to a similar hostile intelligence service threat, CENTER; LANE can assist in devising countermeasures to eliminate or reduce vulnerabilities. 5, (S/CL72/NOFORN) APPROVAL HISTORY: a. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Concept Approval: The Commander, US Army Materiel Development. and Readiness Command (DARCOM) approved in principle the US Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) involvement in the project GRILL FLAME; which began in April 1978 (GRILL FLAME was the predecessor to the CENTER. LANE Project). In May 1978, the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) accepted lead responsibility for GRILL FLAME applications. Effective 14 January 1981, by approval of Approved For Release 2004 O P 00788ROO1500040003-0 %% 5-1 R T Approved For Release 8?6:R\E6OO788ROO15OOO4OOO3O the Under Secretary of the Army, INSCOM became the onl y active operational. GRILL FLAME element in the Army. Program management for GRILL FLAME was transferred to Commander, INSCOM effective 11 February 1981. OACSI, DAMI-ISH remained the Army focal point for policy matters and interface at the national level. Overall DoD responsibility resided with the Defense Intetl:igence Agency (DIA.). Also in 1981, a joint services GRILL FLAME Committee consisting of DIA, the IJS Air Force and US Army was formed. Later the Air Force Chief of Staff directed that. the A1r Force withdraw from the committee and all psychoenergetic programs. A comprehensive program was designed to determine the operational parameters and usefulness of psychoenergeti.cs and assess the threat these phenomena posed to national security. At. that time DI.A was R&D oriented and INSCOM's GRILL FLAME Project was ;applications oriented. In the FY83 DoD budget review the Budget Subcommittee of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence curtailed all psychoeriergetic activities funded by the Army in the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), but directed that DIA could complete the third year of their effort and that all future Army funding be budgeted outside the NFIP. INSCOM terminated formal. involvement with GRILL FLAME at the end of FY 82; in the fall of 1982, in keeping with congressional desires, the Commanding General INSCOI" provided funding from Security and investigative Activities (S&IA.) monies, and continued its efforts under a provisional compartmented SAP nicknamed CENTER LLANE , On I Sept: ember. 1983 , the Secretary of the Army approved continued Army part i.cIpat! on in CENTER LANE acti.viti.es wit:hi.n. 1NSCOM and with appropriate contractors in a cooperative, effort FOIAb5 with DIA. 6. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) SELECTION Of' PERSONNEL: a. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Current Selection Criteria: After over a year of pa.rt1c.ipa ,..on ,Fr- t ii.n the psychoenergetic project, source personnel.. were tested by the INSCOM Staff Psychologist in an attempt: to determine a sui table profile by which further pnrticipan is could he identified. The. specific tests administered were (see Appendix B for test descriptions): (I) The Minnesota Mul.t:iphasic. Personality Inventory (MMPI). ARMY Approved For Release / RE%OO788ROOl5OOO4OOO3O Approved For Release 8 1E- RfDT6-00788 R001500040003-0 (2) Gcrdon Personal Profile - Inventory (GPI). (3) Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (TIRO-B). (4) California Psychological Inventory (CP-L). (5) Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS). (6) Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). for the most part, the group presented itself as emotionally stable with no marked trends. There did appear to be an interesting similarity in defens:tve style, a tending toward artistic, aesthetic, and CU ltural interests, and an introversive style, of emotional expression. From these test results the INSCOM Staff Psychologist constructed a test: that may be used as an initial_ screening tool in the selection of neww psychoenergetic participants, This new rest is cal1ed the INSCOM Factor Questionnaire. This instrument is used to compare individuals with CENTER LANE sources. A high score suggests that individuals liave similar characteristics to operational personnel and may be potential candidates for the project. A score of 20 or higher is considered to be similar to CENTER LANE personnel. Individuals who score wi thin the parameters specified by the INSCOM psychologist would then receive personal interviews with CENTER LANE Project personal. Frorn tb.ese interviews new project par.t1cipants would be selected and tra.i.ned. b. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) Projected Selection Criteria: SRI-I has been c.on.trLcted to investigate and report on a particular aspect of psychoenergetics rolatLag to operational management of. personnel; that is, t.o determine if a personality testing technique can he created which, when applied to a general population, wi 11 deIirseat.e speci fii_c individuals who exhibit a higher degree of talent for psychoenergetic abilities. C. (S/CL-2/NOFORN) Voluntary Consent: As required under the regulations governing '[humanUse" (see para 2., Appendix A), all personnel.. operate on a strictly voluntary basis, and may w-i_t:lidraw at any time. without :cny form of prejudicial action or consideration directed against: them. Further, participants are informed of any known or potential risks that might be inherent in program participation. This is accomplished through the use of a verbal. briefing from a knowledgeable CENTER LANE official, and the execution of a personalized Statement of Consent:: form outlining all pertinent information and considerations.

During the 15 minutes immediately before the session the trainee and monitor are generally silent,. Experience has shown (unpublished data) that this quiet time enhances the training process. The training rooin is homogeneously-colored, acoustic-tiled, and ientureless, , w -:tla light controlled by a dimmer, so that environmental distractions can he minimized. During the entire process the trainee and monitor [unction as a team. The monitor provides encouragement with words of reassurance that the task is, in fact, possible. At no time is the session conducted by the trainee in the absence of all other persons, If the trainee does not have any immediate sensory impressions, the monitor apples no pressure. Rather, the monitor reassures the trainee that there is no time limit for the training session. If it. appears to the monitor' that the impressions are in some way contradictory or inconsistent, the monitor may then attempt clarification by asking questions in order to verify what the trainee first describes. All sessions are tape-recorded , and on and paper are available for the trainee to sketch his or her perceptions. Experience has shown that some trainees prefer to combine written and oral descriptions, while some prefer to work sequentially. The average training session for orientation is approximately 15 minutes of ac t.it a.l perception. Trainees NOW, generally are not permitted to go beyond 30 minutes as this leads to perceptual confusion and eventual loss of the training affect. (8) Post Session Dynamics: After the training .cession is over, the trainee and monitor obtain specific information ahout the target, either in picture descriptive form for remote geographic sit: es, or---as in the case of local sites-?--by actually visiting the target: site. The trainee and monitor then discuss the session results. The purpose of this post:-session activity is to provide the trainee with the satisfaction of knowing how well he or she did while mental perceptions of the targeted site are still fresh in mind. b.

(5) Description 01 Procedure: CRV training is a contracted service provided by SRI-I. The training involves lectures on theory coupled with practical exercises and drills. Particularly effective instructional procedures include active participation wherein the trainee interacts with the curriculum materials by responding, practicing, and testing each step of the material to be mastered; information feedback, wherein the trainee finds out with minimal delay whether the response is correct; and i:rdividualized instruction, wherein the trainee moves ahead a t his or her own rate have been broken down into several cements of CRV phenomena.

Stage 5 allows the trainee to reverse the procedure and "interrogate" 10s perceptions, allowing clarification subtle features of the site. Stage of various specific or 6 permits the construction of 3-dimensional models of major site characteristics, with increasing refinements in detail. Experience and theory extension indicates that additional increments ex1.st beyond Stage 6. Research i.s underway to develop and define the parameters and potentials of these additional fields. (6) Session Dynamics: In conducting a CRV session, a remote viewer or trainee and a monitor begin by seat -frig themselves at the opposite ends of a table in a special remote viewing room equipped with paper and pens, a tape recorder, and an overhead TV camera which allows either recording for documentation, or monitoring by individuals outside the room. The room is homogeneously-colored, acoustic-tiled, and featureless, with light controlled by a dimmer, so that. environmental distractions can be minimized. The session begins when the monitor provides targeting information, in the form of specific site coordinates, to tlae trainee. For tra.1ni.ng purposes the monitor is allowed to know enough about the site to enable him to determine when accurate versus inaccurate information is being provided. The session then proceed, with the monitor repeating the targeting information at appropriate intervals and providing necessary feedback. The feec'f.`back procedure was designed to reinforce the trainee's contact with the site but not to assist him by random cuing. The remote viewer generates verbal responses and sketches, until a coherent Approved For Release 2005/ GI 0788R001500040003-0 Approved For Release 2005 88ROO1500040003-0 Ot 'ET response to the overal l taask requirement emerges.

However., the Board expressed concerns that future Army follow-on work might he classified as research, and as such, plans shoold be considered to establish credible human use review procedures to oversee GRILL FLAME activities. In April 1979, Army General Counsel determined that the Army could continue/proceed with GRILL FLAME, activities as long as HEW guidelines and other appropriate precautionary me_isures were taken. In April 1980, the Under Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of GRILL FLAME activities. In October 1980, the DoD, DIA, and Army General Counsel -jointly agreed that i t would he prude-nt: t o obtain written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to conduct GRILL FLAME activities. ACSI, DA concurrently iritia.ted action to obtain Secretary of the Army approval to conduct GRILL, FLAME activities. In September .1982 INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities ceased because of NFIP restrictions; INSCOM psychoenergetic activities were reinitiated in December 1982, under the INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP), an S&IA activity.
