GRILL FLAME

In late 1978, Gondola Wish was redesignated as the "Special Action Branch", codenamed Grill Flame, which applied to the operational unit and the research at SRI. The unit was reorganized as an offensive spying unit, and moved into buildings 2560 and 2561 at Ft. Meade. The budget was increased, and there were three full time viewrs: Ken Bell, Joe McMoneagle, and Mel Riley. The unit reported to Ed Thompson, but was tasked by approved members of the intelligence community.

The SRI research program was integrated into Grill Flame in early 1979. Controlled by the DIA, tasking came through the DIA's on-site representative, Jim Salyer.
(Scnabel, 1997, pg 220-1) After Ed Thompson left his post in 1981, Grill Flame came under the control of INSCOM, and was designated Detachment G within INSCOM's Operations Group.

According to Ed Dames, the original unit had six to eight commissioned military intelligence officers. "GRILL FLAME, (which was listed on the INSCOM books as "Detachment G"), had consisted of soldiers and a few civilians who possessed varying degrees of natural psychic ability. These operatives utilized altered states to achieve (varying degrees) of target contact."
(Dames, Ed, "Ed Dames Sets the Record Straight")
In 1983, Grill Flame was redesignated Center Lane.
