Al Girard was the replacement for [Dale Graff](/people/dale-graff/) as the head of the [Remote Viewing](/concepts/remote-viewing/) unit after Graff's retirement in June 1993. He took over leadership of the program during a period of significant turmoil and decline[^1].

Girard reportedly "thought the unit was totally out of control" and seemed to have inherited a situation "way beyond his comfort level." He was described as the kind of government official who wore a three-piece suit to work, suggesting a more conventional approach to his role[^1].

In the winter of 1994, Girard was involved in the court-martial proceedings against [David Morehouse](/people/david-morehouse/), a former member of the remote-viewing unit. He asked [Angela Dellafiora](/people/angela-dellafiora/) to accompany him to the [Pentagon](/organizations/pentagon/) to meet with Morehouse's lawyer, and Dellafiora later testified as an expert witness on the [DIA](/organizations/defense-intelligence-agency/)'s remote-viewing program during Morehouse's preliminary court-martial hearing[^1].
