Chapter 2

DCI Exceptional Intelligence Analyst Program

2.1. General Information. The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) established this program to help a select group of intelligence analysts broaden their skills, thereby enabling them to deal with an increasingly complex and demanding global environment. The DCI sponsors this program to provide analysts with the maximum latitude in conducting professional enrichment projects around their own interests and skills. The nominating command or field operating agency (FOA) provides military and civilian training billets for this program. The Community Management Staff (CMS) budget identifies funding for this program, to a maximum per selectee, for all temporary duty (TDY) travel, tuition, books, and incidental costs allowed. However, the CMS budget will not fund computer software or hardware. The program supports individually tailored research and study plans encompassing a relevant discipline, including graduate studies in the United States or abroad or temporary assignment to another US government agency. Trainees should complete their projects within 1 year. They prepare quarterly reports to document their activity and to permit the project monitor to evaluate their progress within the program. The trainee submits research projects, data bases, and reference files at the end of the program, along with a comprehensive final report, to the CMS Staff, with a copy to AIA/DPAT.

2.2. Program Eligibility. This program is open to all career civilian and military intelligence officers considered by their sponsoring agency to be individuals of high potential but not past mid career stage (GS-9 to GS-15, and 0-3 to 0-5). Members entering this program must:

2.3. Program Application. Interested persons must submit applications through their command SIO, or equivalent, to AIA/DPAT, using the application format at attachment 2. AIA/DPAT must receive applications no later than 31 August of the fiscal year (FY) preceding that of desired study.

2.4. Program Selection. A HQ USAF/INR-chaired selection board composed of field grade intelligence officers reviews and evaluates applications. This board then recommends nominees to the ACS/I for final selection and recommendation for nomination to the DCI. Applicants compete against each other. There will be no specific quotas for IC agencies and the number of selectees will not exceed 20 IC-wide per year. The Board judges all proposed projects based on how well applicants address these concerns in their proposals:

This program is open to journeyman-level military and civilian personnel engaged in intelligence analysis as their primary function (officers [first lieutenants through major]; enlisted [senior master sergeant, master sergeant, and exceptionally well qualified technical sergeants], and civilians [GS-07 to GS-13]). The desirable candidate is one who has -demonstrated high quality work and potential for advancement. In the case of foreign travel, consideration is given to the mature individual who will represent his or her sponsoring agency, as necessary, to members of host-country governments and US personnel assigned to that country. The nominee must:

4.3. Program Application. The goal of the program is to have an approved analyst travel plan by the beginning of each FY. SIOs solicit analyst nominations from subordinate units. Nominations will be based on the unit's needs and participant's potential benefits. SIOs, or their designees, nominate their candidates by endorsing nomination packages and then sending them through the parent major command (MAJCOM) or FOA to AIA/DPAT. AIA/DPAT must receive nomination packages by 31 July of the FY preceding that of desired travel. See attachment 3 for application format.

4.4. Program Selection. AIA/DPAT, or its designated representative, convenes a board of selected intelligence officers, civilians, and senior noncommissioned officers no later than 15 September of each year to review command nominations and establish an Air Force prioritized selection list. AIA/DPAT notifies each SIO and selected analysts of their selection to participate in the program. A supplemental board may be announced and convened to consider additional available training positions as funding availability dictates. After notification, analysts will:
