General Information The primary mission of the Rumanian Border Guards in peacetime was to protect the Rumanian People's Republic frontiers from all internal and external threatening elements. In wartime, it was to protect all frontiers from aggres- sors until relieved by the armed forces of the Rumanian People's Republic. At the time of their relief, the Border Guards would withdraw into the interior and assume interior troop functions. The secondary mission of the Rumanian Border Guards was to select and train reliable Border Guards personnel in border security and to produce politically reliable Border Guards personnel to wage unceasing battle against anti-Communist elements threatening Rumania and its property. Unofficially the Rumanian Border Guards were to assist kolkhozes by donating free labor and were to organize and further Rumanian cultural and sports activities. The Rumanian Border Guards Headquarters (Comandamentul Trupelor de Granicerii - CT Gr),. and four other departments: the Security Police Command (C omandamentul. Trupelor de Securitate - CTS), the Directorate of Militia (Di- - rectia Generala a Militiei - DGM), the Firefighters' Directorate (Directia Generala a Pazei Inpotriva Incediilor - DGPI), and the Directorate of State Security (Directia Generala a Securitatii Statului - DGSS) were directly sub- ordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. 2.

This platoon was assigned two Praga trucks, for increased mobility. In the event of an emergency along any portion of .the battalion's bor- der sector, this platoon could be used to augment personnel strength in that area. In winter, this platoon maintained its mobility by using skis. Its only duty was to be constantly prepared to land assistance at the border at any given moment. This battalion had nine ordinary subordinate platoons, each of which was composed of two to three officers, two to three NCO's, and 35 to 40 other enlisted personnel. Each platoon was o:^ganized into four groups (grupa), each consisting of 9 to 11 personnel.

Border Guards Operations a. Sectors and Posts Each Border Guards regiment was assigned its own border sector of responsibility, which was further divided into subsectors, each allocated to the regiment's subordinate operational battalions, as battalion areas of responsibility. Every battalion consisted of what was considered to be the truly operational element of the Rumanian Border Guards, the Border Guards platoon. The existence of a Border Guards company was rare, and, in cases where a company did exist,it assumed an administra- tive, non-operational role. In its operations, the platoon essentially had two categories of posts: daytime and nighttime. The daytime posts consisted of observation towers, stationary secret posts, stationary posts for the control of civilian worker traffic in the area, roving plowed-strip patrols, and roving patrols, which controlled all the aforementioned posts. (This post always had a sentry dog accompanying it.) See Annex D for sketch of a border zone, and Annex E for s}tsh of border markers. ) 50X1-HUM The nighttime posts were composed of stationary secret observation posts, 3-man posts designated at various places (changing daily), a plowed-strip control patrol, and a roving patrol to check on the activities of the three aforementtosted patrols. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/02/23: CIA-RDP80T00246AO53300140001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/02/23: CIA-RDP80T00246AO53300140001-4 i0 7-J /199L'. -26- In addition to the above two categories of posts or patrols, there was a special category pertaining to ambushes and to population control posts. The platoon commander was responsible for submitting to..battalion headquarters, every evening at 2200 hours, his plan for the security of his platoon sector, which had to include information pertaining to the location of posts, the number of per- sonnel at each post and their duty hours, the guard routes to and from the posts, the password and countersig.'Xi.. the prearranged signal code, and the assignment of personnel. To assist in the orientation of the duty personnel, there was a sand table, depicting the platoon sector's terrain and landmarks, at each platoon headquarters. Every orientation point on this sand table was given a number, and each post or patrol assignment was made in relationship to these numbers. In summer, personnel were sent to the observation towers around 0500 hours, when dawn began to break. During the remainder of the year, the time was generally later. Three men were sent to each observation tower. This practice began in November or December 1951. Before then, only two men had been sent to each tower and were later relieved by two other men. The change apparently took place to obviate the unnecessary amount of relief traffic between the platoon headquarters and the towers. The strip-control patrol normally began its tour at 0400 hours and was through with its inspection around 0700 hours, at which time it reported to the platoon headquarters. In summer, the roving patrol did not go out to check on the other patrols until around 1400 hours. All other normal posts and patrols usually began at 0600 or 0700 hours, with reliefs every 3 hours. In the event any local farmers had to attend to their fields near the border, the platoon was given a list of their names. After receiving this list, the pla- toon commander had to establish a control point for the workers to pass through, and a specific route for them to follow. The list was submitted by the kolkhoz or village elder, and contained the number and the names of the detailed personnel. The control points were normally run from 0500 to 0900 hours in the morning, and from 1700 to 1900 hours in the evening. After sunset, no workers or fishermen, in the case of riparian or maritime areas, were permitted to be in the border area, in compliance with an old (date and other identification unknown) MAI directive. If a platoon commander was notified that there was to be an illegal crossing within his sector, he established additional posts (if possible, in the appropriate area), organized an ambush (if the point of crossing was determined), and received a personnel augmentation from the intervention platoon at battalion. there was a 10-meter-wide plowed strip along the entire 50X1-HUM plowable portions of the Rumanian border. if a border crossing was to be attempted, the best place 50X1-HUM to perform it would be in tT proximity of the platoon headquarters building, where there was the least security. b.

From 1300 to 2100, they were free to go into town. At 2100, there was a school forma- tion, with the student battalion commanders reporting to the school duty officer. Lights had to be out at 2130 hours. On Thursdays, the students participated in political education for approximately 2 hours. After the political classes, they were given a short study period, which was followed by a discussion period on the political subjects presented a few hours earlier. The student personnel had to undergo oral and written -examinations annually. During the first year, in summer, they were assigned for approximately li to 2 months to different Border Guards sectors to get practical experience. During their second year, in summer, they went to regiments to get practical experience, for approximately 2 months. g. Commissioning and Assignments Upon their return to school after their second year in the field for practical experience, the personnel were given final examinations. They were then issued offi- cers' uniforms (see paragraph 7. i) and were paid 1 month's salary (retroactive) in the grade at which they were commissioned, usually amounting to over 1000 lei. Those who barely passed their examinations were commissioned junior lieutenants, while the remaining personnel were commissioned lieutenants. Approximately the top ten students were graduated as senior lieutenants. With their uniform issue and their pay, the personnel also received their assign- ments, which were made at Border Guards Headquarters in BUCHAREST. The top ten gradu- ating students were given their choice of assignments. h. Expulsion and Reassignment there were essentially three reasons for expulsion from the Border Guards Officers School: political reasons physical reasons, in the event of the development of any physical handi- cap which prevented a student from meeting the prescribed phs?ical prerequisites of 50X1 -HU M the Border Guards; and, finally, refusal to sign a 10-year contract. There was con- siderable trouble in this last category with students who had been selected to attend this school, but who had almost completed their obligatory service and refused to extend it. On the basis of these numerous refusals, several investigating commissions were sent from BUCHAREST. Personnel who were expelled from this school were normally sent to a Border Guards unit on either the Soviet or Bulgarian frontiers to fulfill their obligatory service.

Informer System The school informer (Informatorul S illy),an unidentified senior lieutenant, had been a former prisoner of war in the USSR and a former member of the Tudor Vladimerescu Division. He had an office at the school headquarters building (comanda- ment). He had no assistants, but had one guard, of his own selection.,from the Admin- istrative Company, who stood at the door of his office, armed with a PPSh.

The students' uniforms appeared to be similar to the regular Border Guards officers' uniforms, with the exception that they were of a coarser and inferior- quality material. The uniforms were green, with dark-green piping. No emblems or rank designation were worn during the first year at school; however, upon completing the first year, the students were given enlisted rank commensurate with their degree of academic success. After the first year, the only way they could be distinguished from regular Border Guards enlisted personnel was that they were::'required to wear Sam Browne belts with their enlisted uniforms. The school's medical facilities consisted of an infirmary, which had one doctor (Border Guards captain), two corpsmen (master sergeants), and three or four aid men (privates), who were assistants to the two master sergeants. The infirmary had one ward with approximately 15 beds. Those seriously ill were directed either to ORADEA, or, in the case. of extremely serious cases, to BUCHAREST, where there were military hospitals. There were no facilities at this infirmary for coping with operations or serious illnesses. 50X1-HUM ri 6110 /`/ /cr-/ 0 le-01-i at this school, inoculations against typhus and smallpox The were admin- istered in the arm These inoculations were repeated, in a series of three,several months after the first series. 50X1-HUM One dayl fall personnel were forced to gargle with an unidentified purple solution, which was given to them before their meals. The reason was allegedly an unidentified epidemic in the area. 8. Border Guards Sentry Dog School at CAIINESTI 50X1-HUM The 9th Border Guard Regt sent dogs to and 50X1-HUM the Sentry Dog School permanent cadre consisted of officers and NCO's. It trained dogs for three uses: tracking, assault, and reconnoitering, three breeds of dogs were used: an unidentified wolf-like 50X1-H U M dog:, an. unidentified sheep dog, and an unidentifie mastiff-like dog. During 1955, the school began to train dogs for the Militia as well as for the der Guards. Approximately two dogs were assigned to each militia raion:"(district). the 14th Border Guard Regt in COBADIN sent 50X1-H U M about 80 or 90 puppies to the school. The puppies were locally procured and kept the regiment until they were about 6 months old. The dogs had their own assigned ' O h//=/ 0 4!! ~-; ' /Y Tim /-, Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/02/23: CIA-RDP80T00246AO53300140001-4 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/02/23: CIA-RDP80T00246AO53300140001-4 -38- cooks and were apparently well fed on meat, bread, milk, and eggs. They were fed three times a day, early morning, noon, and evening. They were kept in individual doghouses behind a 3-m-high wire fence in an inclosure. They were not bathed, but DDT was used on them frequently. The dogs were cared for by a veterinarian (an unidentified Border Guards captain) and two or three aid personnel, and several enlisted men from the Administrative Com- pany were assigned to feed them. One master sergeant veterinarian from each battalion went to each platoon to check the dogs and their living conditions. The dogs received unidentified shots. While the puppies were with the regiment, .hey came down with an unidentified disease. A special plane, which had arrived earlier from BUCHAREST bringing several veterinarians, was sent back to BUCHAREST to procure penicillin for the puppies. Each Border Guard regiment had one veterinarian (an officer of unknown rank) assigned. Each Border Guard platoon had several dogs, the number depending upon the frontier to which it was assigned, for example, Bulgaria, two or three; USSR, two or tirxee; Yugoslavia, six or seven.. Each dog had its own handler, who was sent to the Sentry Dog School about 6 months before the dog had completed its course. A new a:-dJ.er had to be broken in within the platoon about 2 months before the current r,ar,d.1er?' s departure. 50X1-HUM The Bulgarian Border Guards used to borrow dogs and handlers from the Rumanian Border Guards in the event of border incidents. One of the best known dogs in the Border Guards was one named Spl.k, who had been se:r:?inx since World War II and had been decorated several times for capturing border crossers. In 1952, he received the Republic Star, First Class. His master sergeant handier was slated to retire and purchased the dog from the Border Guards. He was pe,:~,ua.ded to sell. the dog back, but the dog refused to work without him. The master sergeant was therefore recalled and was serving in 50X1-HUM the Border Guards as a lieutenant or senior lieutenant. 9. Border Guards Horse School at BRAILA the officers' school at ORADEA~~ received approximately 50 h.orses from the horse school at BRAILA. They were kept across the street from the school casern, in a casern housing the 10th Border Guards Regiment Headquarters and a- ?u,.i.aerctified Ministry of Armed Forces (Ministerul Fortelor Armate - MFA) cavalry regiment. The horses were cared for by the cavalry regiment, but were only for use by the officers' school. candidates. Arabian horses (Bur Sange Arab), brown with white markings, were used. A usual Border Guards platoon had three or four horses assigned to it, strictly for officers. About two enlisted men per platoon were assigned to tend the horses and .jacka..ses (on the Bulgarian border only, where jackasses were used because of the sr..arcity of water). y. t o s. s y s r i r i R PP r.

Border Guards Drivers' School at TIMISOARA this school was the only one of its hype n the Border Guards, and was at the 5th Border Guards Regiment area. This school conducted a 6-month drivers' and first echelon maintenance course with ZIS-150, ZIS-151, and GAZ (type unidentified) trucks, as well as with Skoda sedans, which were used as staff cars. 11. Border Guards Documents 15 the following be applicable primarily to Border Guards operations: I would a. Authorization for Travel Through a Border District of Strict Control This document was issued to all personnel traveling through a restricted frontier area. The authorization was issued by the raion Militia office. (See Annex G.) This identification booklet was to be in the possession of all Rumanian citizens. It was obtained from the raion Militia, specifically, the People's Documents Section. It had a pearl-gray paper=fabric:oover, and the Rumanian seal was watermarked in the center of each page. The serial number of the.identifica- tion booklet had to appear on all new birth certificates (In 1953, all Rumanian citizens over 14 years of age were issued new birth certificates fC-ertificat de Nastre7) and all information had to be the same between these two documents. (See Annex 'H. ) c. Intelligence Register This document was prepared by the Border Guards platoon commanders and was forwarded to battalion, regiment, and finally, as a composite register, was sent to the Border Guards Headquarters in BUCHAREST. This document contained a record of all intelligence information communicated to the platoon commander, the source of information, and what action was taken. (See Annex I.) This roster was completed by the platoon commander and forwarded to battalion, from which it finally was sent to the Border Guards Headquarters in BUCHAREST in the form of a consolidated report. Consequently, a record existed of what person was at any given post at any given time. (See Annex J.) e. Border Incident Report Form This form was filled out by the platoon commander on any incident or activity occurring in his frontier area of responsibility. Like all other forms of Border Guards nature, it went to the Border Guards Headquarters in BUCHAREST in the form of a consolidated report. (See Annex K.) C D /'f /= /.D e / 77'9-I.

Marine Border Guards The Rumanian Marine Border Guards (Marina Granicereasca) were allegedly directly subordinate to the Marine Border Guards Headquarter (Comandamentul Marinei Graniceresti), which was in the Border Guards Headquarters building in BUCHAREST. detachments were assigned to 50X1-HUM riparian and maritime border guard areas of responsibility. Operationally, the Marine Border Guards detachments were to assist Border Guards battalion commanders in the Border Guards mission of maintaining the security of the Rumanian borders. there was a Marine Border Guards Officers"'School in 50X1-HUM CONSTANTA. existence of a 50X1-HUM Marine Border Guards unit in TURNU-SEVERIN, which was subordinate to the 9th Border Guards Regt only for logistical support and which furnished any assistance to the 9th Border Guards Ret, when needed. The commanding officer was an unidentified major. 0 estimated the strength of this unit at approxi-50X1-H U M mately 15 officers and 40 to 50 E{1. observed six or seven German Stromot boats and three Salupa-Rapida 50X1-HUM boats docked at the pier which belonged to this unit. All boats had the Marine Border Guards flag, which was green with a white stripe about 4 or 5 cm around its outer edge. The Stromot, approximately 7 m long and 2 m wide, had one 8-centimeter - diameter spotlight, and was usually manned by two guards. The Salupa-Rapida was a speedboat with a diesel motor of 200 or 250 hp; it was approximately 25 m long and 4 m wide, with a cabin, two Czechoslovak ZB machineguns, two 10- 6'sntimeter-diameter searchlights, and an unidentified radio. It was usually manned by five guards. - In the event of a suspected border crossing, this unit would be notified by the 9th Border Guards Regiment and would send boats to search the area. As a normal routine, these boats patrolled the Danube River day and night 13. Miscellaneous a. Absence of Special Border-Protecting Apparatus at no place along the entire border was any electron15OXl-H U M apparatus employed for detection purposes. During the early part of 1951, an attempt was made to mine some of the more critical areas, such as on the Rumanian- Yugoslav borders ;'but there were too many cases of Border Guards personnel detonating these mines inadvertently. No portion of the Rumanian border was mined an incident which occuri*d&at TURNU-SE'1 IN during 1953, 50X1-HUM when the Border Guards installation there was unexpectedly visited by four or six high-ranking Border Guards officers. They inspected the TURNU-SEVgtIN post, the last inspection point being a Marine Border Guards vessel on the Danube River. The senior inspecting officer wrote a short letter of commendation for the TURNU- SET IN Border Guards element and then the1inspecting officers" drew weapons on the vessel's crew and the accompanying Border Guards officers, and commandeered and ordered the vessel to the Yugoslav shore, where they defected. Later investi- gation proved that they were bogus.
