northeast.
This secured installation (Figures 2 & 3)
covers 30 acres and contains three large vertical
POL tanks, five_ medium vertical POL tanks, one
small vertical POL tank, six small horizontal
tanks, and three support buildings. Within the
secured area there are five unidentified circular
ground scars in a wooded area southwest of the
tanks.
This area was covered by KEYHOLE
missions
Comparative analysis reveals a constant level
of usage during this period. No significant
changes observed.
