A preliminary study of SA-2 support
facilities in the USSR and certain European
satellite countries was undertaken in order to
determine the types and deployment of these
installations (Figure 1). Because of the im-
mediate need for additional intelligence regard-
ing SA-2 support facilities, only a cursory inter-
pretation has been accomplished, and the findings
stated herein should he considered tentative.
The SA-2 support facilities identified to
date are believed to fall into two general types:
rectangular and square. For the purpose of
this report, they will be referred to as "hypes
1 and 11, respectively. Of the 128 facilities
considered, 76 are classified as "Type I and
52 as Type II, as shown in "Table 1.
while the T e 11 facility was not 25X1 D
observed until the There have 25X1 D
been no 'Type I facilities o serve under con-
struction in the USSR since the first Type 11
deployment, while the latter has been observed
under construction as recently as them
25X1 D
It is, therefore, logical to assume
25X1 D
that~the Type I has been phased out in favor
of the Type II facility.
TYPE I SUPPORT FACILITIES
Type I facilities (Figures 2 and 3) are
generally enclosed by a rectangular fence line
and have a similar basic internal road network.
The road network consists of two main inter-
connecting roads, which in most cases are
parallel to the long axis of the facility.
The servicing of the missiles (assembly,
checkout and fueling) probably is performed in
the various structures situated on or along one
of the main roads, while the component storage
areas are served by the second road.
The largest building in the facility (200
by 70 feet) is designated as the receiving/
maintenance building and has a drive-through
capability. It is positioned on the service
road with its long axis perpendicular to the
road.
A smaller drive-through building (55 by
30 feet) is located on the service road near
the receiving/maintenance building.
Located on a turnoff midway along the
service road is an open shed 40 by 30 feet.

of all components is maintained at the facility;
and the substainer unit, being the largest com-
ponent, is probably stored in the largest of
the three buildings. the other two would then
be used to house other components such as
warheads, boosters, and fuzes.
'hhere are two additional features which
are requisite to the 'hype 1 facility. the larger
of these is a probable vehicle shed which is
positioned along one of the interconnecting roads
between the service and storage roads. This
shed measures 60 by 30 feet at the Volgograd
facility which is used as an illustration in
this report. However, these dimensions are
not as constant as those of Lite other build-
ings in the facility.
A small revetment, enclosing two or more
cylindrical objects, has also been observed at
the 'hype I facilities. this area is generally
located near the main entrance and may be
conventional I'01, storage.
11t all SA-2 SAM support facilities, both
hype I and 'type 11, there are buildings lo-
cated outside of the fence line which are as-
sociated with the installation. Because of
variation in the number and size of these build-
ings, an estimate has not been made as to the
number of personnel employed at the facilities.
In many cases facilities are located near exist-
ing military garrisons which could be used for
housing and logistical support.
TYPE II SUPPORT FACILITIES
Type 11 facilities have been covered only
by KIiYIIOLE photography; therefore, the in-
terpretation is somewhat limited. 'Hie most
obvious differences between the Type Iand'hype
11 facilities are the internal road network and
the perimeter fence line which are square
rather than rectangular (1,igures4and5). There
does, however, appear to be a correlation be-

tween many of the structures observed at both
types.
The most prominent feature of the "hype
II facilities is a straight road on which are
located the receiving/maintenance building and
the probable assembly building. The receiving/
maintenance building (190 by 65 feet) is again
the largest structure within the facilities, and
dimensionally it is similar to its counter-
part in the "hype 1. At some of the square
support facilities, however, this building is
not used as a drive-through building.
The probable assembly building is located
at the opposite end of the main road within
the facility; and although it is smaller (45
by 25 feet) than the assembly building of the
Type I facility, its relationship to the receiving/
maintenance is the same.
The small drive-through checkout building
(50 by 25 feet) located near the receiving/
maintenance building in the "hype I facility
has been identified at some of the type 11
facilities but is absent at others.
In addition, the open shed located at the
midpoint of the service road of the 't'ype I
facility has not been seen in a corresponding
position within the 'hype 11.
l here is no apparent conformity in the
arrangement of the other internal roads in
relation to the main road. the component
