PDF Scan: PDF

Open AI Summary

According to this document, the US Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) has agreed to transfer operational control of the psychoenergetic intelligence collection capability, known as Center Lane, to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). This transfer will involve attaching INSCOM Center Lane personnel, documents, equipment, and office space to DIA to form a prototype operational center within the intelligence community. This is an interim measure until Congressional approval is obtained. The transfer of control will be for a period of one year, and if funding is not obtained during that time, control will revert back to INSCOM. The document also outlines responsibilities and administrative procedures related to the transfer.
