site plans which Include stringent security precautions, till-
tary housing facilities capable of ,ucummudaiing a large
nunder of troops, and rill facilities which are tied Into
nra)ar Soviet rail networks, l he complexes arc nix defended
by S.01 sites; however, Ikrezovka, Chaadayevka, liecldtsa,
and 7.hukuvka are on the periphery of the S.\51 defenses of
Saratov and Lngelu, I'enm,Gun??I, and^ry.nuk, rexpuctlve?
ly. lip contrast, if least two SASE sites have been observed
in the vicinity
in tie CSSII. No conununicatlonr facilities have been oh-
serv'ed at or near any of tire c'onrplexes, and no major mil-
itary or civilian airfields arc within a IS nautical mile (no,)
radius of any of the complexes.
lire hunker. have been constructed on terrain affording

tlnn of those at Ikrez.vka, the bunkers are situated In dense

been observed only at Ikrezovka,Clwbsara,andGolovchino.
I he second group orgenerat Ion consists of the gamma, delta,
epsilon, and zeta designs, which are less elaborate than the

means of overhead traveling cranes. In at least one Instance
(Ilunker I at Cletwara), the service road tor/tlinales inside

The beta hunker is multilevel, roughly I. shaped, and
has two entrances, bah of which are probably Identical to
the corridors observed at the alpha hunkers (Figure 3).

Construction Chronology
At neat of the complexes several bunkers have txen and
are under construction concurrently. Bunkers of anearller
generation are under construction at one complex wtitle work
,in those of a later generation in started at another. For ex-
anple, at Chchsara two hunkers, one an alpha and the utter
probably a testa, are under construction; at Ilechltsa one delta
franker is under construction; and at Ahkhaylovka oe eta and
tun theta bunkers are under construction. In 146.5 fifteen
hunkers of at loam six different designs are in various stages
of r onotrucuon at seven complexes. All the bunkersat he re -
zovka, Goluvchmo, and liulyzhinn have been completed and
earth covered. No bunkers are undo rcuntruction at Iklev?

nundu?r of housing units; a rail spur fronlhe kozelsk-Gor-
biaclieuo single-track line had been constructed from apnnt
just west if .lfnrn}c,u station to the complex. the only
roads serving the complex were unimproved roads. In
February 1964 the (tall Facility was nearing completion; a
steamplant and due 1'(11, tank had been erected; and addi-
tional htuusing units were observed. 13y early June 1964
three additional till. tanks had been constructed near the
eteamp lant; rolling stock was visible In the hall Facility;
and ground as being cleared for roads which will serve
the Operations Area. In late June 1964 all four 1'UL tanks
had been earth covered, and a portion of the Operations
Area had teen enclosed by security fencing. A new road
was being constructed, and when completed, will terminate
11,41 tin southeast of the complex on the Orel- I ula double-
track rill' line. the road, which Is wide and straight, is
capable of carrying a heavy volume of high-speed traffic.
l he (operations Area is situated in the svnrtheaxtern
portion of the complex and measures approximately 45 by
2,5 ton. Only a pinion of the security fencing Is visible.
At least two parallel fences are visible on it. south side
of the area, and a row of portholes at the southeastern end
of the area indicates the alignment of the fence. Access
is the Operations Area Is controlled by a gatehouse 1111'1
1,5110 feet southeast of the Construction Support Facility
and by a building which Is also probably a gatehouse lo-
cated on a country road 10,900 sect southwest of the first
gatehouse, near the village of Suchki. -
No bunkers have been constructed In the Ilelev Op.
orations ,urea. Only one, excavation approximately 7,3(10
feet south of the ill' near the southern perimeter fence
has been identified an the probable site for a hunker.' the
excavation which is served by a new road Is long and narrow
and could accommodate an eta or theta hunker. llaad con.
struction Is under way and wide rights-of-way h o w own
cleared through the forest.
the I orations Area does not contain an operations
support facility as yet. However, such a facility may be
tinder construction In the western portion of the complex,
south of the steamplant where a pnsthlc drive-
through-building I. under construction. If so, the proximity of the
Operations Support Facility it) the Nail Facility will re.

file flail Facility 14,5140 feet west-northwest of the lil'
and north of the steamplant Is under construction. It con-
mists of a holding yard with five to seven sidings. :1 sep-
arate siding serves four 11O1. tanks just northof the steam-
plant. Although rolling stock has been observed at the Hail
Facility on several occasions, the size and type have not
been determined. Because the complex is still In an early
stage of construction, lung rail cars observed at sonic of
the other complexes are probably not present at lielev. A
railroad turning wye, the only one observed at any of the
complexes, is northwest of the hall Facility, No bridge
crane has been constructed. Roads in the vicinity of the
facility are under construction, and road patterns are not
clearly defined.

complex was first observed In April 1962 when a tonsirue-

construction. fly November 1961 three harrac ks and nine
housing units for military personnel had beencompleied, due

housing facilities to the Operations Area; and hrusmg for
construction workers was being built southwest if the Com-

the complex was that of December 1963. At that one root
additional barracks were under cimutructton? In tie i ipcra.

terior walls of a high-hay drive-through building had been
erected. Rork on the Hall Facility was under way, and a

winch are probably quarters for senior officers. Ample
space I. available for the construction of additional units.
Pour multistory barracks, each of which Is approximately
110 by 50 feet, could accommodate an estimated total of
about 1,300 troops. Five barracks, probably for junior
officers, are probably two stories high, and each Is 175
by 45 feet. hack nine-story unit could house two or three
families. A small-arms firing range Is 1.3 nm north.
northeast of the military housing facilities. the irregu-
