  those contained in USAINSCOM Reg 10-2, and provide list of functions which
  might be                                                                  
                                                                            

  transferred to the Bde G-3 or USAOG.                                      
                                                                            

  3. As you well know, the classified mission and functions of this office  
  are not                                                                   
                                                                            

  covered in USAINSCOM Reg 10-2 so I will not address that issue. Tn regards
  to whether                                                                
                                                                            

  or not our functions might be transferred to the Bde G-3 or USAOG, I recommend
  against                                                                   
                                                                            

  any such action at this time because it might be premature due to the nature
  of our                                                                    
                                                                            

  project.                                                                  
                                                                            

  4. We have recently forwarded to the DCSOPS an action recommendinq the    
  establishment of                                                          
                                                                            

  a Task Force consisting of 9 personnel. Personnel assigned to this task   
  force will                                                                
                                                                            

  remain accounted for by their parent organization but will work directly  
  for this office                                                           
                                                                            

  for the next 18-24 months. For the POM of FY 81, we have proposed the establishment
  of                                                                        
                                                                            

  a detachment with an authorized strength of 12. Until such time, if ever, 
  such a                                                                    
                                                                            

  detachment becomes a reality I recommend against the functions of this    
  office being                                                              
                                                                            

  assigned below the HQ INSCOM level. If the Task Force concept is approved 
  it miqht be                                                               
                                                                            

  a bit awkward (command & control-wise) working directly under the AE)CSOPS-HUM-INT
  and                                                                       
                                                                            

  might be more appropriate for the Task Force element to be assigned to    
  the Office of                                                             
                                                                            

  The Special Assistant (OPS).                                              
                                                                            

  5. My bottom line is: until such time as the project develops into an actual
  operatin'-f                                                               
                                                                            

  element (if indeed it ever does) then the staff supervision of the project
  should remain                                                             
                                                                            

  at the HQ INSCOM level.
