RMK:THE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED LA/VS OPEN-WIRE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
BRANCH LINE 2D (REFS D & E) NOW EXTENDS AN ADDITIONAL 15 NM SOUTH.
THE TRACE PROCEEDS SOUTH FROM ITS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TERMINUS AT
UTM xc631977,TO xc69o778, THEN EAST PROBABLY TO REJOIN LA/VS LINE
2 IN THE VICINITY OF BAN TAPUNG, 16-o4-38N 106-37-18E (xc733780).
SINCE THE LINE CONNECTS WITH LINE 2 ON BOTH ENDS AND EXTENDS
THROUGH A RELATIVELY UNINHABITED AREA, IT IS POSSIBLY A REALIGNMENT
OF LA/VS LINE 2 OR, AS PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED IN SEVERAL INSTANCES IN
THIS AREA, IS THE PRELUDE TO INCREASED MILITARY/LOGISTICAL ACTIVITY
ALONG THE NEW TELECOMMUNICATIONS LINE.
