AAA SITE SURVEY
LAOS
The "AAA Site Survey, Laos," provides a consolidated
listing of all occupied sites observed on the latest aerial
photography. New mission inputs will provide information
on newly identified sites, which after initial reporting
will be carried only when occupied. Previously reported
unoccupied sites will be evaluated on a mission-by-mission
basis, and reported immediately when first observed to
be occupied.
For reporting purposes, AAA defenses are divided
into three basic categories: HMGAA (50 cal. and 12.7mm),
light (ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4, 37mm), medium (57mm,
85 mm), and heavy (100mm and larger).
The computer tabulation provides the following infor-
mation, from left to right, in two or more line entries.
A. FIRST LINE
(1) Installation Number - - A unique installation number
containing the standard two letter country designator, a
two digit province designator, and a four digit installation
designator within the province. The ALPHA E denotes
the NPIC report type. A map showing provinces and
their designators is included in this report.
(2) Name -- Name of nearest town or village as derived
from the AMS map series L509, scale 1:250,000, and
abbreviated within the ten space limitation, as appro-
priate.
(3) Military Zone -- A two letter or Roman Numeral
abbreviation of the military district as indicated on
the map included in this report.
(4) Coordinates -- Geographic coordinate derived
from the AMS map series L509, scale 1:250,000 and/or
AMS map series L7012, scale 1:50,000. In case of
multiple sites reported

(5) UTM -- UTM coordinate, derived from the AMS
series L509, scale 1:250,000 and/or AMS map series
L7012, scale 1:50,000, carried to the nearest 100
meters. In case of multiple sites reported under the
same installation number, the coordinate represents
the centermost coordinate.
(6) Status -- Listed as active or
occupied dummy sites will be reported.
B. SECOND LINE
(1) Date -- Date of information (photography) from
which the report is derived.
Mission -- Mission Alpha/numeric designator
(3) Frame -- Frame number(s) from which the report
is derived. The IBM program provides for a maximum
of two selected frame numbers. In cases where the
installation is imaged on

of confidence.
The third and following lines report the number of
positions occupied and/or unoccupied; the size of the weapon
(light, medium, or heavy); other equipment by count and type
(fire control radar, fire director, etc.); and associated
vehicles, as appropriate.
When two or more sites are carried under the same
installation number, normally they will be reported in their
entirety and one will immediately follow the other.
Several abbreviations appearing in the "Equipment
Type" column include: PROB. (Probable), POSS. (Possible),
LT. (Light), MED. (Medium), HVY. (Heavy), PSN. (Position),
OCC. (Occupied), UNOCC. (Unoccupied), and HMGAA
(Heavy Machine Gun Antiaircraft). Other abbreviations
may appear in this column when equipment and/or vehicles
are reported and as imposed by report space limitations.
In an installation containing more than one site, the "Equip-
ment Type" column will also indicate the number either
dismantled or not observed.
Sites are arranged by geographic coordinates in ascend-
ing order. Upon request, NPIC can provide additional
listings in any of the following sequences: installation
number, alphabetic, military district, UTM coordinates,
or date of information.
