1. (a) The Centre will be located as may be most convenient, having regard to the collection of information and the discharge of its responsibilities to the GOC and AOC Iraq as defined below. It will be accommodated and locally administered under arrange-ments to be made by the Headquarters Royal Air Force in Iraq. The necessary cipher and other facilities required will be pro-vided by Army or RAF Headquarters as may be most convenient.

(b) Under existing conditions it will be necessary to maintain a detachment of the Centre in southern Iraq, but as far as circum-stances allow the Head of the Centre should ensure that its activities and information are co-ordinated with those of the main Centre. This detachment will not issue separate summaries or appreciations, except in cases of urgency when it is necessary to avoid delay in informing local commanders, or on demand from them.

2. In general the Centre will act as an intelligence organization for the GOC and AOC in Iraq for all but operational intelligence matters, and will be responsible, under their direction, for executive tasks of an interservice nature, such as security, civil censorship, propaganda, and publicity. The area to be covered by the Centre will be that for which the GOC Iraq is responsible.

Appendix F: Revised Charter of the Combined Intelligence Centre Iraq and Persia (CICI), issued on 6 July 1941

272 APPENDIX F: REVISED CHARTER OF THE COMBINED INTELLIGENCE CENTRE…

3. In detail, the tasks of the Centre will be:

(a) to provide the GOC and AOC with collated political and secu-rity intelligence and such other natures of intelligence as they may require the Centre to deal with;

(b) to co-operate, with the approval of the GOC and AOC, with the embassy publicity section in carrying out the general policy for propaganda as received in directives from the Jerusalem Bureau, or as ordered by the respective commanders in further-ance of local operations;

(c) to take or arrange for executive action in connection with gen-eral security other than field security, and censorship other than field censorship;

(d) to produce periodical intelligence summaries and appreciations, copies of which, in addition to local distribution, will be for-warded to C-in-C East Indies, GHQ India, GHQ Middle East, HQ RAF Middle East, MEIC, and the Jerusalem Bureau;

(e) to maintain close liaison in intelligence matters with the British naval authorities in the Persian Gulf;

(f) to afford all assistance to the local representative of MI6 and to distribute locally to all concerned information received from him.

4. The establishment of the Centre will include both Army and RAF personnel, and will be varied from time to time to meet the needs of the situation. It will include political advisers and assistant political advisers, who will work under the direct orders and control of HE The British Ambassador in Iraq, and area liaison officers who will work under the Head of the Centre.

5. The Centre will be provided with Secret Service funds by HMG in UK. Supervision over the expenditure will be exercised by GOC and AOC Iraq. Funds will be provided through the Jerusalem Bureau for the activities of the political advisers mentioned in paragraph 4.
