SECTION

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. (S) 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.
