Archival collections that organize the large number of documents collected by various CSI research teams are necessary to support CSIs publishing effort. 2. Background.

CSI also serves as the CAC Commanders historical think tank in support of his command responsibilities. 4. Ability to obtain a Secretlevel security clearance.
