This is the fifth of a series of reports published monthly in an
effort to provide continuous information on 28 selected military complexes,
marshalling yards, storage areas and transfer points in South China and
North Vietnam. The targets have been selected as those most likely to
provide indications of a military buildup.*
This study utilizes all photographic coverage taken and available
during the preceding month. Only those targets covered by interpretable
photography are analysed and these are arranged alphabetically within
country. The quality of photography for each entry is given with the
mission reference
For ReleaTQPAMUT:
* The list of targets is subject to periodic revision.
