NEW TAC SSM DEPLOYMENT AREA
1. SIGNIFICANCE: IMAGERYI IHAS REVEALED A NEW, 25X1
HARDENED, BATTALION SIZE TAC SSM DEPLOYMENT AREA UNDER
CONSTRUCTION 15 NM NORTHEAST OF DAMASCUS. (SWN)
2. REMARKS: DUMAYR TAC SSM DEPLOYMENT AREA, IN THE MIDSTAGES OF
CONSTRUCTION, CONSISTS OF SIX LAUNCH POSITIONS AND SIX ADITS
(IN THREE GROUPS OF TWO). THE ADITS AND LAUNCH POSITIONS ARE
INTERCONNECTED BY ROAD AND AT LEAST 35 VEHICLE REVETMENTS ARE
DISPERSED IN THE AREA. CONSTRUCTION BEGAN BETWEEN LATE JULY
AND EARLY OCTOBER. THE NEW DEPLOYMENT AREA WILL PROBABLY BE
UTILIZED FOR THE SCUD TAC SSM. (SWN)
ANALYST'S COMMENTS--TWO FACTORS LEAD TO THE JUDGMENT THAT THIS
NEW DEPLOYMENT AREA WILL SUPPORT SCUD ACTIVITY. IT IS SIMILAR
TO THE THREE KNOWN BATTALION SIZE SCUD FORWARD DEPLOYMENT
AREAS, NEAR HIRJILLAH, 14 NM SOUTH OF DAMASCUS, WHICH
PRESENTLY SERVE SYRIA'S 155TH SCUD BRIGADE (SEE GRAPHIC). THE
155TH SCUD BRIGADE IS GARRISONED AT AL UTAYFAH TAC SSM
STORAGE AND TRAINING FACILITY , 10 NM WEST OF 25X1
DUMAYR. ALSO, KEY ISRAELI TARGETS ARE BEYOND THE EFFECTIVE
RANGE OF THE FROG AND SS-21 SYSTEMS FROM THE NEW DUMAYR
DEPLOYMENT AREA. (SWN 25X1
CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW AREA MAY BE THE RESULT OF A SYRIAN
BELIEF THAT THE FORWARD DEPLOYMENT AREAS NEAR HIRJILLAH ARE
KNOWN TO THE ISRAELIS. THEREFORE, THE NEW DUMAYR DEPLOYMENT
AREA MAY BE THE FIRST OF THREE ADDITIONAL/ALTERNATE SCUD
DEPLOYMENT AREAS WHICH WOULD BE LESS VULNERABLE TO ISRAELI
ATTACK. (SWN)
