John Berberich was a Division Chief at the [DIA](/organizations/defense-intelligence-agency/). In October 1990, he became the new DIA division chief and gave [Dale Graff](/people/dale-graff/) the position of branch chief at [Fort Meade](/places/fort-meade/), placing Graff in charge of the [Remote Viewing](/concepts/remote-viewing/) program, which was then renamed [Star Gate](/programs/stargate-project/)[^1].

Berberich's decision to appoint Graff to this leadership role indicated a shift in the program's management, aiming for a more operationally effective approach. In May 1991, Berberich, along with Graff and three remote viewers (including [Angela Dellafiora](/people/angela-dellafiora/)), traveled to England, [Germany](/places/germany/), and [Israel](/places/israel/) as part of an annual intelligence exchange, further highlighting his involvement in the program's international engagements[^1].
