 1.  (S)   The attached report forwards the evaluation of Grill Flame Special
 Analytic Report Information,                     The information which was
 provided on target size, type, and mission has a high degree of correlation
 with other sources of information.  While there is no confirming data of the
 target's location, I believe the source to be accurate and recommend that
 the information be used to fill a known intelligence gap.
 2.  (S)  The                                GOB  Task Force is updating the
 ground order of battle for                                        This update
 will be published as a supplement to the       G   project.   onsidering the
 reliability of the information provided b     e Special Actions Office,
 ADCSOPS, INSCOM, the results of                      will be included in the
 supplement.  Use of this information will be an intelligence community
 "first."
 3.  (U)  I recommend that this evaluation be forwarded to LTC Watt, Chief,
 Special Actions, ADCSOPS, INSCOM.

 INSTRUCTIONS TO ANALYSTS
 1.  (U)   The material you have been given to review has been acquired from a new
 and potentially valuable source of intelligence.  Work is currently being con-
 ducted on how to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.  Your atten-
 tion to the evaluation sheet and your remarks will be the basis for our assessment
 of this new collection technique.  Therefore, the effort you expend will greatly
 assist us and will ultimately result in you receiving more information of increas-
 ing accuracy and reliability.
 2.  (U)  While formulating your judgements concerning the information provided, the
 following comments concerning this new source of intelligence may be helpful.
 Foremost, the information is likely to consist of a mixture of correct and in-
 correct elements.  Specifically:
 a.  (S)  The descriptive elements are generally of higher reliability than
 judgements or labels  as to what is being described (recreational swimming pool
 may be mistaken for water purification pools, an aircraft hull may be mistaken
 for a submarine hull, etc.).  Therefore, seemingly appropriate descriptive elements
 should not be rejected because of mislabeling.
 b.  (5)  The data often contains gaps (in a 3-building complex, for example,
 perhaps only two of the buildings may be described, and an airfield may be added
 that isn't there).  Such gaps or additions should not be taken to mean that the
 rest of the data is necessarily inaccurate.
 3.  (S)  Therefore, a recommended approach is to first examine the entire information
 packet to obtain an overall flavor of the response, reserving final judgement even
 in the face of certain errors, and then go back through for a more detailed analysis.
 4.  (U)  If you have questions regarding the data you have received, or its evaluation
 please contact this office (IAOPS-H-S) at any time.

 SECTION III
 TARGET EVALUATION
 1.  (U)  For the summary evaluation, please check the following boxes as to the
 ACCURACY* of the submitted material.
 a.  (S)  Geographical locale des-
 cription (terrain, water, etc.)
 b.  (S)  Large-scale manmade
 elements (cities, buildings, silos,
 docks, railroad lines, airfields, etc.)
 c.  (S)  Small-scale manmade
 elements (antennas, computers, tanks,
 missiles, offices, etc.)
 d.  (S)  General target ambience
 (research, production, administration,
 storage, troop movements, naval
 activity, air activity, weapons testing,
 etc.)
 e.  (S)  Relevant specific
 activities (nuclear testing, missile
 firing, CBW storage, ELINT monitoring,
 etc.)
 f.  (S)  Personality (physical des-
 criptions, actions, responsibilities,
 plans, etc.)
 2.  (S)  Overall Utility:  NONE    MARGINAL     USEFUL       VERY USEFUL  X
 CANNOT BE DETERMINED

 *Definitions for the accuracy scale are as follows:
 O=Little correspondence (self-explanatory)
 1=Mixed results (mix of correct and incorrect elements, but enough of the former to
 indicate source did collect against target.)
 2=Good (Good correspondence with several elements matching, some incorrect information.)
 3=Excellent (Good correspondence with unambiguous unique matchable elements and rela-
