______________________ In addition, a minimum number of new
personnel assigned to the organization and fortuitously possessing basic
requisite skills, were further trained and integrated into the intelli-
gence team program as additional duty.
g. Manning of the intelligence teams from these sources has now
reached the point of diminishing returns. Only 21 qualified intelligence
team personnel are now assigned, and of these approximately half are
scheduled for PCS departure from the organization during the next 12
months. There is no forecast input of previously qualified personnel.
There are currently five basically qualified volunteers for further
training and assignment to intelligence team additional duty.
h. In an effort to augment the diminishing capability, USAF
personnel assigned to organizations other than the 1127th within the
Washington area who have airborne/intelligence team qualification, and/or
who are former members of this organization's intelligence teams, and
who have been approved by their organization of assignment and Hq USAF
(AFCIN) for wartime assignment to the 1127th, have been issued appro-
priate orders, and participate in the peacetime training program for
wartime employment. Two such personnel are attached, with no known
available additional personnel.
i. The most serious immediate and forecast intelligence team
shortage is in Linguists. There are now only five Russion Linguists
assigned or attached, and of these only two are of native fluency, with
the other three of language school capability. Four of the five,
including the two of native fluency, are forecast for PCS by November
1962. Only one gain, fortunately of native fluency, is scheduled for
airborne training for intelligence team qualification and assignment.
Two additional Russian Linguists are forecast for assignment to the
1127th, but neither are yet intelligence team qualified or are known
to be volunteers for intelligence team assignment. All intelligence
team personnel are volunteers.
j. ______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
Eight personnel in these categories are forecast for PCS loss within the
next twelve months, with an input forecast of five personnel, four of
whom are presently assigned, basically qualified volunteers for airborne
training, and one of whom is a forecast gain to the 1127th.
k. A sizeable number of qualified Linguists are presently assigned
to _____________________________________________________________________
_______ ZI bases. Many of the Linguists are either airborne rated and/
or have had intelligence team assignments to this organization in its
present or former designations. Reassignment of these individuals to
AFCIN-1E upon completion of their present tours is a logical method by

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
which the current and forecast shortage could be met. A problem that
would be encountered in implementing such assignment is the lack of
1127th Linguist AFSC manpower vacancies. The 1127th has only twelve
Linguist AFSC manpower spaces allocated and seven of these spaces are
filled with either non-Russian/Bloc country Linguists or with non-
intelligence team qualified Linguists.
1. Possible solutions to the current and forecast shortage are:
(1) Basically qualified personnel currently assigned to AFCIN-1E
who volunteer for further training, to include airborne training, and
assignment to intelligence teams, should be given such training and
assignment as additional duty to normal staff duty employment.
(2) Assignment to the 1127th of intelligence team qualified
Linguists returning from overseas or completing other ZI assignments
on an authorized overage basis. Such authorized overages were previously
assigned to the organization and provided not only for the intelligence
team capability, but for fruitful peacetime ZI employment of Linguists.
Ten such personnel could be fully and effectively utilized during peace-
time in duties directly in or closely allied to their AFSC's, with the
intelligence team capability being an additional duty.
(3) Qualified intelligence team personnel now assigned to the
1127th could be retained beyond their normal duty tours until a simi-
larly qualified replacement is forecast or assigned.
e. A standard AFPMP and AFCIN-P policy should be the identification
to AFCIN-1E of previously qualified intelligence team personnel fore-
cast for return to the ZI form overs3eas assignments for assignment
against AFCIN-1E forecast personnel vacancies. Latitude may be required
and should be authorized in the assignment of such personnel be grade
and AFSC. For example, if a 204XX vacancy is forecast withing AFCIN-1E
and an intelligence team qualified 203XX is forecast available, and the
203XX is determined able to perform the staff duties required, either
from personal knowledge of the individual's capabilities, or by means
of an exchange of correspondence between the losing command and AFCIN-1E,
authorization for asignment of the 203XX against the 204XX vacancy
should be granted. It is generally true that 203's with AISS background
are normally able to perform 204 duties effectively with a minimum of
experience on the job. To a lesser degree, and on a selective basis,
this is also true of 203's being able to perform intelligence organiza-
tion 702 duties.
n. Discussion to this point has covered the intelligence team
development, composition, current peacetime and wartime missions, and
personnel problems. To further establish the value of the unique
Air Force capability represented by the intelligence teams, their
future potential for employment should be considered.

CONCLUSION:
7. __ There is a valid current and continuing need for the AFCIN
intelligence team capability for peacetime and wartime employment.
Actions necessary to maintain the capability in "cadre" strength
should be immediately implemented, and actions to expand the capability
should be implemented on a sound basis of personnel acquisition,
training, equipping, and employment.
ACTION RECOMMENDED:
8. ___
a. Basically qualified personnel currently assigned to AFCIN-1E
who volunteer for further training, to include airborne training, and
assignment to intelligence teams, should be given such training and
assignment as additional duty to normal staff duty employment. Attach-
ment 4 is a current request for airborne training quotas for five
qualified volunteers.
b. AFCIN-1E should prepare, and submit through appropriate channels,
individual justifications for the following:
(l) Authorized overage assignment on a selective basis of an
initial ten intelligence team qualified Linguists returning to the ZI
from overseas assignment, with a later additional supplement in the
event of AFCIN authorized expansion of cadre strength of the intelligence
team capability.
(2) Detention beyond normal duty tours of qualified intelligence
team personnel now assigned to the 1127th until similarly qualified
replacements are forecast or assigned.
(3) Request for establishment of an AFPMP and AFCIN-P practice
to identify to AFCIN-1E previously qualified intelligence team personnel
forecast for return to the ZI from overseas assignments. Latitude should
be requested by AFCIN-1E in assignment of such personnel against actual
or forecast vacancies in AFSC and grade spaces in variance with those
possessed by the returnees if it is established that returnees have non-
AFSC skills which can be effectively utilized in the vacant spaces.
(4) Ninety-day TDY of AFCIN intelligence team to South Viet Nam
for employment in Viet Nam/Laos against USAF intelligence requirements.
Experience gained in establishing logistical support and operational
employment will be invaluable in developing further plans for intelligence
team utilization. The team should be attached to the Air Attache, Viet
Nam, and under his operational control for the period of TYD.
