Section I provides a description of "new" targets; targets either newly identified, or previously known but being reported for the first time by NPIC. Section II provides a description of "change" tar- gets; targets showing a basic change in facilities. Also under section II are installations where analysis of cur- rent photography has furnished more precise information. Section III provides order of battle information on all targets covered by this mission. When there are no "new" or "change" targets, or order of battle information, the appropriate section is omitted. "New" and "change" targets are arranged 1).by coun- try, 2) within the country according to subject, 3) within the subject by WAG area, and 4) within the WAG area by geographic coordinates in ascending order. Order of battle information is arranged 1) by subject, 2) within the sub- ject according to country, 3) within the country by WAG area, and 4) within the WAG area by geographic coordi- nates in ascending order. The map base used (when available, as applicable) for the derivation of coordinates is the latest edition of the US Air Target Chart, series 200, or the AMS series. The header line for each target contains, from left to right, the target name, the geographic coordinates, NPIC/R-264/65 the world aeronautical chart number (e.g. 0616), the bombing encyclopedia number (e.g. 00836), and the NPIC target number (e.g. 11A). The COMOR target number, where applicable, appears above the photo reference line. The photo reference line provides the frame numbers (e.g. R/100 -- L/101), limiting conditions (e.g. H), photog- raphic quality (e.g. F), photographic coverage (e.g. T), and the mode (e.g. ST). The symbols for conditions affecting photography are C (clear), SC (scattered cloud cover), HC (heavy cloud cover), H (haze), GS (cloud shadow), SD (semidarkness), S (snow), and 0 (obliquity). The quality of the photography is categorized by G (good), F (fair), or P (poor). The extent of photographic coverage is designated by T (total), PT (partial), or ID (identification only). The mode of coverage is indicated by ST (stereo), MN (mono), or PST (partial stereo). When appropriate an index follows "new" and "change" targets and another follows order of battle information, with targets in each index arranged alphabetically. AAA defenses are divided into three categories: light (ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4, 37MM), medium (57MM, 85MM), and heavy (100MM and larger). The term HMGAA (heavy machine gun antiaircraft) indicates a weapon smaller than A ZPU-1. Where a category cannot be determined, the site will be listed as an AAA site and the number of guns indicated (example: 6-Gun AAA Site, occupied/unoccupied).
