CSA-1 EXERCISE
JINZHOU SAM TRAINING AREA, CHINA (SWN)
NPIC/IEG (03/84)
8 MARCH 1984
1. SIGNIFICANCE: AN EXTENSIVE CSA-1 SAM FIELD TRAINING EXERCISE
WAS UBSERVED AT THE NEWLY IDENTIFIED JINZHOU SAM TRAINING AREA
IN THE SHENYANG MILITARY REGION (MR) (SWN) 25X1
2. REMARKS: ELEMENTS OF THREE CSA-1 SAM BATTALIONS, EACH
CONSISTING OF A LAUNCH AREA, A CENTRAL GUIDANCE AREA AND A
SUPPORT AREA, WERE FIELD DEPLOYED SIDE BY SIDE, IN A LINEAR
PATTERN. THE MISSILE LAUNCHERS WERE ORIENTED SOUTH IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE LIAODONG WAN (GULF), WHICH WOULD PERMIT
LIVE-FIRE TRAINING. EACH OF THE CSA-1 BATTALIONS WAS EQUIPPED
WITH THREE CSA-1 LAUNCHERS, A TARGET ACQUISITION RADAR, THREE
CSA-1 MISSILE TRANSPORTERS, TWO CANISTER TRANSPORTERS, THREE
CSA-1 SUSTAINER CANISTERS, THREE PROBABLE BOOSTER CRATES AND
FIN BOXES, VARIOUS ELECTRONICS TRUCKS AND VANS, AND OTHER
GENERAL SUPPORT EQUIPMENT. (SWN)
THE DEPdYMENT PATTERN IS SIMILAR IN LAYOUT TO THAT OBSERVED
AT SHANDAN SAM TRAINING AREA B IN THE LANZHOU 25X1
MR. THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO SAM TRAINING AREAS IN CHINA WHICH
ARE CAPABLE OF EXTENSIVE LIVE-FIRE TRAINING. (SWN)
ANALYST'S COMMENTS: THE IDENTIFICATION OF THIS SAM TRAINING
IS FURTHER EVIDENCE OF INCREASED SAM ACTIVITY IN NORTHEAST
CHINA IN RECENT MONTHS. OTHER ACTIVITY INCLUDED A FIELD
TRAINING EXERCISE NEAR CHENGDE IN THE BEIJING MR IN
NOVEMBER 1983, AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THREE NEW CSA-1 SITES
(TWO IN THE BEIJING MR AND ONE IN THE SHENYANG MR) SINCE
COORDINATES 40-56-55N 121-15-30E (S)
