Operations Department GI Division Operational Intelligence Division and Combat Information Center are words that are synonymous with each other, for the Badarmen's daily activities are centered around the complex of CIC. To the average crewmember CIC is both a place of curiosity and mystery, shrouded in a state of eternal twilight, speckled with green and red lights with a collection of boxes and gadgets that blink, click, and hiss to him. As one enters this complex he is given the CIC OFFICER ENS IVIOFIRISEY impression of being on the inside of a radio, but to the radarman there is no mystery. For the radarman is responsible for the gathering, processing, dis- playing, evaluating, and disseminating of all tactical data and this involves spending long hours in CIC. By the time a cruise is over, a radarman is more familiar with his dark, hissing work space than he is with his own home. Always working behind the scenes, CIC is involved in every phase of operation that a DDG may undertake. During our stay on the gunline CIC was in constant communication with our troops on the beach and it was the radarmen, whose rapid evalua- tion of information, enabled the BUCHANAN to fire with pinpoint accuracy. No one radarman- is a specialist but rather a jack of all trades who must have a working knowledge of Anti-Air Warfare, Anti-Submarine'Warfare, Electronic Warfare, Aircraft Controlling, and Search and Rescue Operations. It now becomes obvious that the radar- men do indeed play' an important part on the BUCHANAN and in the Navy, and only through constant training and perseverence can the radarmen maintain the condition of readiness that their jobi requires.
