This is a report. Personnel receiving
this report are cautione that a strict need-to-know
principle applies.
This Mission Coverage Index (MCI) lists targets of
intelligence interest in Cambodia, Laos, North Vietnam,
and South Vietnam covered by aerial photographic material
from Mission 0014E, dated 8 January 1964. Items in
the compilation are arranged in three sections:
Section I provides summary information for a) newly
identified targets, b) previously reported targets which
show a change, and c) all targets showing order of
battle information.
Section II provides a listing of those targets which
reflect no change in facilities from previous target de-
scriptions. The mission number shown on the photo
reference line (e.g. NAC 6000) refers to the MCI which
contains the most adequate description of that target.
Military installations where no order of battle can be
determined are listed under this section.
Section III provides a listing of those targets which
NPIC /R -1082 /64
could be identified but not interpreted.
All three sections are arranged 1) by country, 2)
within a country by subject, 3) within a subject by WAC
area, and 4) within a WAC area by coordinates reading
from south to north and from west to east.
For the convenience of the user, an index to all
targets has been included following Section III. Targets
in the index are listed 1) by country and 2) alphabetically
by place name within each country. An explanation of
column headings, COMOR target numbers, photo reference
data, and symbols indicating conditions which affect the
appearance of the target on the photography is contained
in the appendix.
The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan of
photography was accomplished in a relatively short time and
often without the aid of precise analytical and mensural
techniques commonly employed in detailed photographic
analysis. Consequently, although the information presented
herein is essentially accurate, additional, detailed analysis
may somewhat alter portions of the information.
