TASK TEAM IV - INSTALLATIONS
FINAL REPORT
SUMMARY
1. Task Team IV has concluded that four elements are required for the
positive identification of installations and geographic features of intel-
ligence interest. These elements are:
a. Installation identification number.
b. A designator of the categories involved; in other words,
functional classification of the installation or geographic feature.
c. The name of the installation or geographic feature.
d. The coordinates (geographic and/or UTM) of the location
of the installation and the graphic source from which derived.
A fifth element--an indicator for the country in which the installation is
located--is desirable but not required for positive identification.
2. The Task Team recommends that the installation identification
system contained in the DIA Automated Intelligence File (AIF) be adopted for
use in this field by the Washington Intelligence Community, and that the

functional classification contained in the "Handbook for Installation
Naming and Functional Classification (DIAM 65-3-1) also be adopted. Recom-
mended procedures, which are necessarily somewhat complicated, are those
contained in DIAM 65-3-1. As to coordinates, the Team recommends the use
of the "Point Reference Guide PC-560/1-64, with the use of graphic references
from which the coordinates are derived.
3.. The Final Report, together with the tabs mentioned therein, pro-
vides details of the many conclusions reached by the Task Team with respect
to the four elements mentioned and contains a discussion also of a country
code system.
4. On one point and one point alone, the Task Team was unable to
reach unanimous agreement prior to submission of its Interim Report and
this concerned the naming of missile sites. Subsequent to the submission
of the Interim Report, due to the activities of the Task Team and the active
participation of representatives of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the
National Photographic Interpretation Center, and appropriate elements of
the Central Intelligence Agency, this matter was resolved to the satisfac-
tion of all concerned. This was made possible by DIA's adoption of the
NPIC system for naming of research and development missile sites and the
adoption by CIA/NPIC of DIA's naming procedures for operational missile sites.
This solution represents the initial fruits of the operation of Task Team IV0

identifying elements in a variety of Information processing systems
(manual EAM, EDP, etc.), and allowing for inclusion of elements found in
both machine-structured and indexed narrative systems.
3d To this end, the Task Team has devoted a number of meetings in
exploration of the minimum number of elements required for positive
identification of installations (or geographic features) of intelligence
interest, of universal applicability regardless of the type of category of
installation, i.e., applicable to both Port Facilities and Biological
Warfare Research Institutes, to both Submarine Force Headquarters and
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Launch Sites, to both Ammunition Depots
and Wet Cell Storage Battery Production F;cilities, etc.
11. The Task Team has concluded that with the use of four factors or
elements, positive identification can be made of installations and/or
geographic features of intelligence interest; that these elements are
applicable to all types or categories of installations/geographic features;
that community-wide use of these elements will facilitate the processing
and exchange of intelligence information and documents thereon; that
these elements may be applied to all sources and systems of intelligence
.interest; that these elements can be incorporated in a.format of the
characteristti..cs desired for information processing, dissemination, collec-
tion guidance and installation analysis; that these elements can be used
in a variety of information processing systems and that the four elements
selected also satisfy the need for inclusion in both machine-structured
and indexed narrative systems,

The elements selected are as follows:
a. An installation identification number.
bo A designator of the category involved; in other words,
the functional classification of the installation or geographic featured
c. The name of the installation or geographic feature.
d. The coordinates of the location of the installation, and
the source from which derived.
Consideration was also given to an indicator for the country in which the
Installation is located.
6. Agreement was reached fairly promptly and unanimously within the
Task Team on the factors listed above. Considerable time was devoted to
exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of the various alternatLves
available in the Intelligence Community with respect to functional codes,
UTM or geographic coordinates, country codes, etc. Ultimately, agreement
was reached by the Task Team that the following be adopted by the
Intelligence Community for use in formats devoted to installations and
geographic features of intelligence interest:
a. Installation Identification Number:
(1) The installation identification numbering system
recommended for adoption by the Intelligence Community is
that contained in the DIA Automated Intelligence File, one
of the most massive compilations within the Intelligence
Community of foreign installations/geographic features.
It contains some

providing a common language of communication among
collectors, producers. and users. This numbering
system had its origin in the Bombing Encyclopedia (B.E.),
which was one of the earliest inter-service targeting
publications. The published B.E., containing data on
I
Hemisphere, is still published annually and is disseminated
in both printed and magnetic tape form. The same instal-
lation numbering system, however, has been extended to
apply to all cities, place names, and other installations--
industrial, military, governmental--which can be geographically
located at fixed positions.
(2) The B.E. number consists of 10 characters all of
which are numeric except one which may be alphabetic. The
first four characters indicate the World Aeronautical Chart
,.WAC) area in which the installation is located. The last
six characters refer to the specific installation or feature
within the WAC,

b, Functional Classification Code:
(1) The T-sk Team considered carefully two different
functional codes--the Intelligence Subject Code (ISC) and
the category code contained In the Handbook for Installation
Naming and Functional Classification (HINFC) (DIA Manual
65.3-1)a The former was initially developed by the Central
Intelligence Agency in 1948 and subsequently was revised
under the auspices of the U. S. Intelligence Board's
Committee on Documentation. It is regarded by the Task Team
as an excellent subject classification code and as being
applicable to both manual and machine systems. It is

currently used in some applications by the CIA, the
Department of State, DIA, and others. It is a very com-
prehensive code in subject, covering a wide variety of
categories, such as climate, coconut oil, compromise of
foreigners, education, glandular fever, glue, human disease
incidence, labelling machinery, political indoctrination,
domestic trade, wine, etc., all of possible intelligence

(2) For adaptation to installations, however, it
often fails to be definitive enough to allow the proper
or designed degree of functional description. For example,
missiles, with subcategories
for short- and medium- 25X1A
for intermediate-range ballistic missiles;
for intercontinental-range. This breakout is
undoubtedly adequate for subject classification. On the
other hand, the HINFC, initially developed by the Air Force
for targeting applications and production of the B0E., has
been subsequently expanded and developed for application to
all types of installations and is used extensively in ADP
files throughout the DoD and other agencies. To illustrate
by similar example as above, this code defines
to be 25X1 A
operational missile installations for fixed systems, general,
for SSM sites, fixed, general. The latter has

subcategories for ICBM, IRBM, MRBM, SRBM, and SSM sites.-.
cruise. This 5-digit code can be further extended in most
instances to provide a more functional breakdown, if
warranted.
(3) A complete tabulation of the code structure is to
be found in DIA Manual 65-3-1, with a more detailed descrip-
tion for adaptation to special requirements in the individual
category summary sheets in various DIA publications.
Recognition of the great value of both systems is apparent
in the operations of the DIA, which uses the ISC as a subject
code for document storage and the category code in DIAM
65-3-1 as the installation functional code. Both codes are
used by DIA research analysts. Installation coding is used
for categorization of installations with the same category
code found in all of DIA's targeting publications, target
files, and in the operational plans of the U&S Commanders.
After careful consideration of the matter, the Task Team
concluded by recommending the use of the DIA 65-3-I HINFC
category code for uniform use throughout the Intelligence
Community as one of the four indicators required for positive
installation (and geographic feature) identification.
(4) See Tab B attached for further particulars of this
identifying element.
c. The Name of the Installation or Geographic Feature:
(1) The Task Team agreed rather quickly that in the
spelling of place names, the Intelligence Community should

25X1
 Approved For Release 200 02/27 : CIA-R P80B01139A000500010009-9 25X1
abide to the greatest possible extent with the "preferred
spelling" as determined by the U. S. Board on Geographic
Names (BGN), which has been designated by Public Law 242,
80th Congress, as the authority for all such nomenclature
in government publications. However, when both the con-
ventional and native spellings are BGN-approved, the Task
Team concluded that in the interests of uniform procedure,
the use of the native spelling should be the practice of
the Intelligence Community in identifying installations and
geographic features of intelligence interest in installation/
targeting documents with the widest possible latitude
accorded to elements of the Intelligence Community in using
either the native spelling or the conventional spelling of
place names in briefings.

Community for identification of the city in question;

(3) Variations between the anglicization of "conven-
tional" and "native" place names are frequently to be found
in the Near and Middle East. The following examples will
suffice to illustrate this point:
Conventional Nacre!
Native Name
This serves to buttress the statement that a name without a
a unique identification number for the same name is not
necessarily very helpful as such.
(4) Although the United States Intelligence Community
is supposed to adhere to transliteration systems which are
sanctioned by the Board on Geographic Names for various
languages, the degree of adherence to such transliteration
systems varies somewhat within the Intelligence Community.

For example, the National Security Agency has had to adopt,
for operational reasons, certain unique transliterations
in some of the systems. Certain ambiguities are to be
found in the Cyrillic-Latin transliterations prescribed by
the BGN. For example, one Latin letter represents more than
one Cyrillic letter, and one Cyrillic letter may have more
than one transliterated form depending upon its position
in a Russian word, and single Cyrillic letters are represented
by two Latin characters which may or may not be converted
unambiguously back to Cyrillic. The National Security Agency
is not alone in this field, and confusion exists in the
present Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration system used by many
organizations in the Intelligence Community. While advocating
the use of BGN-approved place names, the Task Team is aware
of the problem involved in transliteration and recommends that
all transliteration systems used by the Intelligence Community
and consumers be examined with the aim of developing systems
which would be acceptable for use by the interested agencies
and which would facilitate the exchange of information in
forms readily usable by all. The community is now grappling
with the Cyrillic-Latin transliteration systems. This is the
subject with which a working group within Task Team III is
currently busily engaged. The concern of Task Team IV in
this matter is that any success achieved by T::;;k
Team III will assist in standardization of but one element

required for the positive identification of installations
and geographic features. In the meantime, intelligence
analysts are urged to check the NIS Gazetteer, to ensure
that the place name used is BGN-verifled.,
(5) The naming policy for airfields varies slightly from
the procedure used for place names with regard to accepted
versus BGN-verified names. Although it is the general
practice to incorporate a city or town name with "native
spelling" as an integral part of the name of an installation
or geographic feature, the same practice does not always
prevail with respect to airfields. For example, associated
with the city of Washington, D. C., are P. number of airfields
such as DULILES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT,, WASHINGTON NATIONAL
AIRPORT, ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, etc,. Of these. only one
incorporates the city or complex name "Washington." In the
case of airfields associated with the city of MOSKVA (with
the conventional name of MOSCOW), a number of the airfields
have incorporated in their names the rendition MOSCOW.. such
as MOSCOW/CHERTANOVO, MOSCOW/FILI, MOSCOW/LYUB#RTSY, MOSCOW/
ORLOVO, MOSCOW/TUSHINO, MOSCOW/CENTRAL, etc. In the case of
STALINGRAD/BEKETOVSKAYA and STALINGRAD/GtJMRAK airfields.,
names were changed to VOLGOGRAD/BEKETOVSKAYA and VOLGOGRAD/
GUNRAK, respect:Lvely, when the name of the city was changed.
A survey of the naming of airfields as a, whole.: however, does
reveal a number of instances of departure from association of

 Approved For Release 200 /02/27 : CIA-RD 80B01 139A000500010009-9 25X1
of an airfield name with the current rendition of the
transliterated name of the place name with which the air-
fields are associated. Insofar as the naming of airfields
is concerned, the Task Team concluded that the Intelligence
Community should be guided by the accepted name as estab-
lished for "Free World" airfields by the Aeronautical Chart
and Information Center; and for other foreign airfields, by
the Defense Intelligence Agency. The latter also maintains
cross-referenced indices to alternatively spelled airfield
names, Thus TOKYO INTERNATIONAL is preferred to HANEDA;
LAND'S END instead of PENZANCE; and LENINGRAD/GORELOVO
instead of any of the following: GORELOVO NO, 1,
KONSTANTINOVKA, KRASNOYE-SELO, NIKKAROVO.
(6) For installations and geographic features (as
separate and distinct from cities and towns as such, and
from airfields as such), the Task Team concluded that
uniform usage of an "official name" which would be used in
all studies, reports, plans and communications was highly
desirable as one element of unmistakable identification of
individual installations. Because of the large number of
installations dealt with, the content, form and order of
installation names are required to follow certain procedures
to avoid the confusion which would result from lack of uniform
treatment. For the naming of installations, therefore, it

 Approved For Release 200 /02/27: CIA-RD 80BOl139A000500010009-9
was concluded by the Task Team that certain components
should be used and that these components, however many
or however few were used should be in the following order:
(a) Place name
(b) Functional Name
(c) Disting&ishing descriptive terms (if necessary)
(d) Underground designation (if relevant)
(e) Proper name (if any)
(f) "Imeni" (honorary name) if any. (This will
ordinarily apply only in the case of the Soviet Union
and her more imitative satellites.)
(g) Plant number (if any)
(h) Special designations for missile sites
(7) Place Name: The first part of the installation name
is the place name, which is preferred by the U. S. Board on
Geographic Names (BGN), of the city, town, or locality in or
nearest to which the installation is located. The BGN short
name, if available, should be used. A separate procedure
will be applied with respect to Surface-to-Air sites, which
are discussed separately below. ICBM and IRBM sites are to
be named after the place name or missile complex to which
they are functionally assigned.
(8) Functional Name: The functional name should be as
descriptive as possible of the actual function of the Instal-
lation. The function should be defined precisely. Functional

 Approved For Release 200 02/27 : CIA-RDP OB01139A000500010009-9
names stated in company titles are often misleading.
Following are examples of cases where precise functional
definitions are found necessary:
(a) An airframe plant or aircraft engine plant
is not properly described if called an "aircraft plant."
(b) A railroad locomotive re air shop is clearly
not a "locomotive factory."
The functional name is always written in full if space
allows, but where limitations of space occur, prescribed
abbreviations may be used. New, expanded lists of English
and Russian abbreviations, using upper case letters exclusi-
vely, are available. These abbreviations were designed espe-
cially for Automatic Data Processing and are the approved
list for all target names and related matters.
(9) Distinguuishing Descriptive Terms: If it is necessary
to use the name of a district within a city, a compass direction,
or other term to distinguish geographically or otherwise
between similar installations, such distinguishing terms will
follow the functional name. Following are examples of the use
of such terms:
(a) MOSKVA OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS PLANT TUSHINO
(b) KIYEV PORT AREA NORTH.
(c) OMSK THERMAL POWER PLANT RIGHT BANK IRTYSH RIVER
Special case: Such transportation Installations as bridges
and tunnels contain as part of the functional name terms

describing streams crossed or tunneled under. Further
descriptive terms will follow, where necessary.
(10) Underground Designation: In the cases of under-
ground or partially underground plants, the distinguishing
term is to be followed by the designation UG, meaning
underground, or PUG, meaning partially underground.
(11) Proper Name
(a) The proper name, which follows next in order,
is usually the identifying title of the installation.
The proper name may be the corporate, partnership, or
proprietorship name. In Russia the proper name may be
a commemorative title or slogan reflective of Soviet
ideology, or an appellation suitable to the function of
the installation. It also may be the initial letters of,
or an abbreviation of, the full name. These initials
or abbreviations by common usage often become proper names.
(b) The proper name is always given in the local
language form or an official transliteration of it. It
is never translated from another language into English.

(c) The proper name is listed in the nominative
case only. (In the case of Russian and other highly
inflected languages, installation names are often
encountered in the genitive or other case forms.)
(d) The proper name will always be written full,
if possible. When it is necessary to abbreviate
Russian proper names, the "Prescribed Russian
Abbreviations," should be consulted. Listings of
proper name abbreviations in English and other
languages have not been attempted.
(12) Imeni
(a) This word, which means literally "of the name"
in Russian, denotes an honorary or dedicatory title.
It always refers to a person, usually a Russian or
Communist hero. These titles are common for Russian
installations, and the system is being extended into
satellite countries. As in the case of the proper name,
the "imeni" always appears in the nominative case. (In
Russian source materials, the word "imeni," of course,
is followed by the genitive case. However, in the
Bombing Encyclopedia, the word "imeni" does not itself
appear, and the nominative case is used.)
(b) The "imeni" will be written in tull unless space
limitations make abbreviation necessary. See "Prescribed
Russian Abbreviations," for standard "imeni" abbreviations.

officially assigned by the controlling government ministry in
the cases of Russia and satellite countries or in other countries
where industries have been "nationalized." In cases where
installations are privately operated, the plant number will
be any number officially assigned by the plant management.
(14) Special Designation for Missile Sites
(a) The name of Surface-to-Air Missile Sites should
incorporate the place name of complex within ^ nautical 25X1A

in automated or mechanical systems. Although abbreviations
may be required in isolated instances, DIA experience has
proven a maximum of 38 characters to be entirely satisfactory
for name identification purposes. The only other general
restriction on the name is that the first character must be
alphabetic. Any of the remaining positions may then be
alphabetic, numeric, mixed or blank. In general, hyphens,
apostrophies, and other punctuation marks or special
characters should not be used.
d. The Coordinates of the Location of the Installation
25X1
(1) Before reaching agreement on the use of UTM Grid Reference
and/or geographic coordinates, as one element required for the
positive identification of installations and geographic features
of intelligence interest, the Task Team concluded unanimously
that the need existed for common agreement on determination of
the reference points to be used for various categories of
installations, etc., to which the UTM Grid Reference and/or
geographic coordinates would apply. Obviously, when pin-pointing
the location of an airfield with geographic coordinates given
to the nearest second, it is important to know, for various
types of runway configuration, what is the agreed-upon reference
point for depiction of the precise location of the airfield in
question. Similarly, agreement is necessary for a pin-pointed
Reference Point or Points for depiction of the location of
cities, of population, of steel miles and of individual
elements within them.

(2) Having reached agreement on this point, the Task Team
endorsed Community-wide use of the Point Reference Guide Book,
produced by DIA as PC-560/1-64, March, 1964. The Point
Reference Guide Book covers a fairly large number of categories
of installations and geographic features, is under continuous
review and is gradually being expanded to cover additional
categories of installations and geographic features. For
illustrative purposes, three sample pages accompany this
Interim Report as Tab "W',
(3) For "Cities," it was agreed that the coordinates would
locate the center of the smallest circle encompassing 95% of
the built-up area; and for "Population" it was agreed that the
coordinates would locate the center of the smallest circle
(not to exceed four nautical miles radius) encompassing at
least 95% of the population of the complex, but that in those
instances where multiple coordinates are given, they locate
the center of the respective circles which collectively
delineate the area in which at least 95% of the population is
located.
(4) Agreement having been reached on the endorsement of
use of the Point Reference Guide Book by the Intelligence
Community, the Task Team then agreed upon:
(a) The use of "Installation Coordinates Geographic,"
and/or the use of "Installation'Coordinates UTM," and

 Approved For Release 20 3/02/27 : CIA-R P80B01139A000500010009-9
(b) The use of graphic references on which the
coordinates are based.
(5) In reaching this agreement, the Task Team appreciated
fully the fact that geographic coordinates are widely used but
for certain uses, UTM coordinates are desirable. In both
instances, however, the Task Team concluded that the sources
used for derivation of the coordinates must be furnished in all
instances. In the Contingency Planning Facilities List Program,
for example, both types of coordinates are used. Thus for the
town of Desaguadero in Bolivia the geographic
coordinates given are 16-33-31S/069-01-5OW, with the UTM
coordinates given as 19K DB 96740 69250. The same entry also
provides the graphic reference on which these coordinates were
based, in the instance cited, to the map produced by the
Instituto Geographico Militar De Catastracion Nacional, Scale
0250, Sheet 25, produced in December, 1933. Programs exist for
a variety of computer conversions from one system to another.
(6) Although it is beyond the scope of the task assigned to
this Task Team, which is devoted to steps required for positive
identification of installations and geographic features, some
discussion was devoted by the Task Team to various types of
Coordinate Symbolo 'y, to institution of a uniform practice
within the Intelligence Community in terms of sequential pre-
ference to be accorded to maps and charts available, and to
depiction of the geodetic data used in graphic compilation.

Details are attached as Tab E, and the Task Team recommends
that the Intelligence Community would be well advised to con-
sider the advantages of adoption to the extent possible of the
procedures therein outlined,
e, Country Code: The final factor recommended by the Task
Team to aid in the positive identification of installations and/or
geographic features is a country designator code which is highly
desired but not necessarily mandatory for positive identification.
After observing that there are a number of country/area codes now in
use in the Army, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence
Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, some Naval ship reporting
codes, etc., the Task Team concluded that for purposes of instal-
lation identification and geographic feature identification,
(primarily in the field of target intelligence) the Intelligence
Community should use the Geopolitical Code for Intelligence Systems,
known also as the DoD 2-alpha character code, (JCS Pub 7 or DIA
Instruction 65-6A) with the understanding that in the cases of instal-
lations linking two countries, such as international bridges, the
country code to be used would be that of the country of primary inte-
rest, for purposes of Identification. Line entries covering such
installations should also provide an indication, by means of the same
code, of the country of secondary interest. The Task Team made no
attempt to define steps to determine the factors involved in deciding
which would be a country of "primary Interest" and which would be a
country of "secondary interest,," feeling that this prerogative should
be retained by the skilled ?i ?lysts involved in the categories

7. Having reached agreement on the factors needed for positive
identification of installations and/or geographic features, the Task Team
then devised a single format the use of which is recommended by elements
concerned within the Intelligence Community, A copy of the proposed
format is attached as Tab IF," It provides for entry of the following
particulars of an installation as illustrated, for example, in the case of
an Albanian Petroleum Refinery-.
25X1A
Tab "G" provides details of formal coding requirements.
8, Conclusions: The Task Team concludes, in essence, that for positive
identification of installations and geographic features of intelligence
interest, the following factors should be uniformly put into use by all
members of the Intelligence Community:
ao An Installation or Geographic Feature Identification Number:
Specifically recorrnended is the identification numbering system con-
tained in the DIA Automated Intelligence rile, consisting of two
parts, a World Aeronautical Chart number plus an installation or
geographic feature number, the combination being more generally known
as the Bombing Encyclopedia or B.E. number.

b. A Functional Classification Code: Specifically recom-
mended is the category code contained in the DIA "Handbook for
Installation Naming and Functional Classification" (DIAN 65-3-1).
c, Name of the Installation or Geographic Feature: Speci-
fically recommended is the naming procedure spelled out in con-
siderable detail in the same Handbook mentioned in 8. b. above.
d. The Coordinates of
Geographic Feature: Specifically recommended are:
(1) The use of the Point Reference Guide Book (DIA's
PC-560/1-64).
(2) The use of either geographic coordinates to seconds
or equivalent UTM grid coordinates, or both, coupled with
the graphic references on which the coordinates are based.
The Task Team also concluded that the Intelligence Community in the field
of installations and geographic feature of intelligence interest would be
well advised to consider favorably the uniform use, to the extent feasible,
and without necessarily supplanting other code systems in current use,
of the "Geopolitical Code for Intelligence Systems," also known as the
"Standard Geographic Code for Joint Usage in Command and Control," JCS
Publication No. 7.
9. The Task Team, after investigating the formats used by the many
elements of the Intelligence Community involved in intelligence with
respect to installations and geographic features of intelligence interest,
concluded that adoption of the four elements, required for positive
Identification, would have a very minimal impact upon the holdings and

procedures of the agencies concerned. The positive benefits to be attained
by uniformity in use of these four factors include not only accuracy and
speed in interchange of information with respect to the installations
concerned, by oral, manual, or computerized means, but should serve to
preclude the confusion experienced by the Intelligence Community when
many identification systems, used by as many entities, fail to mesh.

(1) The analyst should consider toe choice between U.S.-
produced standard series graphics and foreign-produced graphics,
The U. S.-produced graphics are catalogued, are considered to
be in general use, and are available to the users by means of
normal requistioning procedures. Therefore, primary consider-
ation should be given to the selection of these graphics in lieu
of foreign-produced graphics which are not normally available
to the users and would require reproduction and distribution
which are both time-consuming and expensive.
(2) Usefulness in terms of currency of publication, the
accuracy of information and the suitability of scale for the
accurate geographic location of the Installation must be con-
sidered in choosing graphic reference materials. In areas
where U. S. map coverage is not available or is inadequate,
foreign-produced graphics may be used.
(3) Research for foreign-produced graphics will be con-
ducted by the DIA Production Center, and the identification of
available materials will be provided to participating elements
along with ADPS coding instructions for each scale series.
