ANALYST'S COMMENTS: SINCE THE SOUTH AFRICAN ATTACK ON THE
FORMER CAMP AT CASSINGA IN MAY 1978, SWAPO HAS ATTEMPTED TO
PROTECT ITS CAMPS IN SOUTHERN ANGOLA BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
VEGETATION FOR CONCEALMENT, BY DISPERSING ITS FACILITIES
OVER A WIDE AREA, AND ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND BUNKER
NETWORKS. EXTENSIVE TRACK ACTIVITY AND THE PRESENCE OF AIR
PRESENCE AT THE NEARBY JAMBA AIRFIELD WHICH AFFORDS SOME
SECURITY SOUTH AFRICAN GROUND ATTACK.
