Those of us in the MI community mostly consider OGA a non-intel agency.

Agreed - But we've put in practice several OGAs in recent times that are directly Intel oriented and working side by side with our SOF -

OGA gives little thought to the tactical forces actually needing good product in a timely manner.

Well said and very often too true -

We went though the same missteps in SEA too.
Eventually your guys and our guys started working very closely, (including real time comms,) which benefited both your operators and our collection.
We took a very protective "mother hen" attitude towards "our guys."
You've have been amazed at the talent and resources brought to bear when you were in Indian country.
Also when you returned we enjoyed your company, (once you'd showered,)
and shared lots of quarrels about whose turn it was to buy.
Sadly that relationship faded after Nam.
