(U//FOUO) SID Stands Up Team to Manage Deployments
FROM: the SID Deployment Team (S1)
Unknown
Run Date: 09/29/2006
(U//FOUO) Many questions face potential deployers. Whom should I talk to? What do I need to
know?? Who are my contacts back at NSAW? What's the right kind of training for me? -- Too
many questions for one person to answer, and sometime it's difficult to find that "one" right
person.
(U//FOUO) Anyone who has worked a portion of the deployment process, or deployed in the
past, knows there are a lot of moving parts, any of which can fail without constant monitoring
and attention. Our mission requires that we send our folks forward to hostile areas. We cannot
afford for this process to fail. To ensure success, SID Leadership has endorsed the stand-up of
the SID Deployment Team. The purpose of this team is to synchronize these efforts at a
corporate level throughout the SIGINT Enterprise.
(U) Specifically, the team will:
1. (U//FOUO) Standardize deployment training - Develop a two-tiered approach to
ensure there is a base-line training plan (Tier 1) and position-specific training plan (Tier
2) for all deployers.
2. (U//FOUO) Manage expeditionary cryptology within SID - Develop SID-specific
processes for administering the Cryptologic Expeditionary Force (CEF) program, selecting
deployers and appealing deployment non-approvals.
3. (C) Address cover positions - Define a SID strategy that outlines appropriate cover for
expeditionary SIGINT positions.
4. (U//FOUO) Review and revalidate positions - Biannually institute a process for all
expeditionary positions.
5. (U//FOUO) Trouble-shoot - Monitor trends to identify and resolve consistent problems,
raise key issues to SID leadership, build Agency networks to improve communication,
and serve as the focal point for all deployment issues (utilizing the SID Deployment
Forum as appropriate).
(U//FOUO) This team will act on behalf of SID Leadership for all deployment issues, in
conjunction with all appropriate Agency organizations. The members of the SID Deployment
Team are
Chief
and
). For questions related to deploying for
SID, how SID is managing the Cryptologic Expeditionary Force (CEF) Program, or general
queries, please feel free to contact the team at
