This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (22-F-0863) collects internal emails from June 2021 to February 2022 among Under Secretary Ronald Moultrie, David Taylor, Neill Tipton and other intelligence and security staff.

Dave,
Here are the notes/TP you requested to inform Mr. Moultrie's engagement with DSD tomorrow. The last one is just a
placeholder—I haven't held the meeting yet, but will be able to provide a read-out in the morning.
Thanks
Neill
The Establishment Memo and Terms of Reference for the Airborne Object Identification and Management
Synchronization Group (AIMSG) are out for Principal Coordination, and I expect to have a document for your
review and decision next week.
There will clearly need to be a transition timeline as we establish the AIMSG. The Executive Committee (I&S, DJS
and PDDNI) will appoint an interim Director and Deputy for the AIMSG, and the current UAPTF mission and
activities will move under the AIMSG until it can be fully staffed.
I am working to identify the appropriate funding for the AIMSG, but ask for your support in looking across the
Department for help to properly resource this mission.
