ZAGARE FIXED FIELD MRBM SITE NO I
Site No 1 is located in a level, wooded area,
at an approximate elevation of 200 feet, 3.7 nau-
tical miles 'rim) northwest of 1)obele in the Lat-
vian SSR ;Figure-1).
The site was first observed in early
at which time because of
the poor quality of the photography and because
of cloud cover only one of the padlike clearings
was visible. The site can be negated in_
When next observed,
in on 'good-
quality, clear coverage, the siteconsisted of four
padlike clearings and appeared complete. No
signs of activity were visible.
Launch Areas No 1 and 2 were first observed
in Launch Area \03 in
nd all three were complete in
ixed Field Site No I is 17.2 nm north-
northwest of Launch Area No 1, 12.1 nm north-
west of Launch Area No 2, 20.9 nm northwest of
Launch Area No 3, and 2.8 nm south-southwest of
Fixed Field Site No 2.
Fixed Field Sire. No 1 (Figure 2) consists
of- four irregularly shaped padlike clearings,
served by an irregular road pattern. Theclear-
apart. T11e approximate dimensions of - 25X1 D
clearing, are 200 by 80 feet,
and 200 by 70 feet. The azimuth of
[tie c eggs is 235 degrees and the azimuth of
Launch Areas No 1 and 2 is 225 degrees. A local
road passes immediately north of the site and
three separate roads branch off and, in turn,
branch to form the road- pattern containing the
four alike clearings. This local road also pro-
vides access to a group of 13 buildings situated
alongside a probable rail transfer point, 1,825
feet west-southwest of the center of the site. Ap-
proximately 4,600 feet southwest of the center of
the site this same road serves a secured probable
storage area containing 13 buildings. An uniden-
tified object, approximately 50 by 20 feet, 'S107
cared in a clearing between the western pair'of
clearings. . No security fencing is visible at the
-site.
The site is connected by. primary and sec-
ondary roads to Dobele and to the three AMRBM
launch areas and Fixed Field Site No 2.. Rail-
to-road transfer facilities probably are availa-
e ble at the probable transfer-point west-southwest
of the site, or at Dobele, Lieleleja, and Jelgava,
which also probably serve the remainder of the
Zagare \IRB\l Complex.

Site No 2 is located in a level wooded. area, at
an approximate elevation of 200 feet, 6.4 nm
northwest of Dobele Figure 1 . The site was

like clearings. The site was again observed in
at which time it appeared complete and con-

25X1 D
No changes were evident and no activi-
ty was seen.
Fixed Field Site No 2 is 18.8 nm northwest
of Launch Area No 1, 14.1 nm northwest of
Launch Area No 2, 23.3 _nm northwest of Launch
Area No 3, and 2.8 nm west-northwest of Fixed
Field Site No 1.
An access road enters the site from the north
and branches into a series of loop roads contain-
ing the four padlike clearings (Figure 3). The

1,210 feet long, and separated into two' pairs of
two clearings, approximately
apart. The approximate dimensions of the clear-
ings, starting from the westernmost clearings
are
and The azimuth of the western
pair of clearings is -225 degrees and the azimuth
of the eastern pair of clearings is 210 degrees.
These azimuths closely approximate the 225-
degree azimuths of Launch Areas No 1 and 2.'
Adjacent to each clearing is a small unidentified
object and situated in a clearing 490 feet north
of. the westernmost clearing is another unidenti-
fied object. No buildings, tents, or security..
fences are visible at the site.
The site is connected by primary and sec-
ondarv roads .to Dobele and to the three MRBM
launch areas and to Fixed Field SiteNol. Rail-
to-road facilities probably are available at the
probable transfer.-point near Fixed Field Site No
1, or at Dobele, Lieleleja, and Jelgava.
