STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THIS SITE IS FOR
TRAINING. THE SITE IS APPARENTLY RELATED TO AN ADJACENT MILITARY
INSTITUTION.

CONSISTS OF AN UNOCCUPIED LAUNCH POINT WITH A SINGLE MISSILE DOLLY
TRACK EXTENDING FROM THE LAUNCH POINT FOR APPROXIMATELY II 25X1
FEET THROUGH THE FORMER LAUNCH POSITION ENTRANCE. A SINGLE MISSILE
DOLLY IS POSITIONED AT THE TERMINUS OF THE TRACK, AND THE LAUNCHER
IS LOCATED IMMEDIATELY OUTSIDE THE REVETMENT.
LAUNCH POSITION 2 (NOT UTILIZING A FORMER SA-2 LAUNCH POSITION)
CONSISTS OF A SINGLE MISSILE DOLLY TRACK WITH EMPLACED LAUNCHER.
A SINGLE MISSILE DOLLY IS AT THE TERMINUS OF THE TRACK IMMEDIATELY
