Items are arranged in sections. The "New" section provides a description of targets newly identified or known but reported for the first time by NPIC. The "Change" section provides a description of pre- viously reported installations showing a major change, or those where an analysis of current photography furnishes more precise information. The "Order of Battle" section provides information on targets where order of battle can be identified. When there are no "New" or "Change" targets, or order of battle information, the appropriate section is omitted. "New" and "change" targets are arranged I)by country, 2) within the country according to subject, 3) within the subject by WAC area, and 4) within the WAC area by geo- graphic coordinates in ascending order. Order of battle information is arranged 1) by subject, 2) within the subject according to country, 3) within the country by WAC area, and 4) within the WAC area by geographic coordinates in ascending order. The map base used (when available and applicable) for the derivation of coordinates is the latest edition of the US Air Target Chart, Series 200, or AMS Series L509 1:250,000 (China); or ONC; or AMS Series 1301, IMW (Tibet, Western China). The header line for each target contains, reading from Approved FoF4? 1gFj 3RR left to right, the target name, the geographic coordinates, the World Aeronautical Chart number, the Bombing En- cyclopedia (BE) number, and the NPIC target number. The COMOR target number, when available, appears above the photo reference data. Photo reference data includes frame numbers and sym- bols denoting limiting conditions, photo interpretability, target coverage, and the mode. Symbols for limiting conditions affecting photography are C (Clear), SC (Scattered Cloud Cover), HC (Heavy Cloud Cover), H (Haze), CS (Cloud Shadow), S (Snow), O (Obliquity), SD (Semidarkness), GC (Ground Cover), CF (Camouflage), and GR (Ground Resolution). Interpretability of the photography is categorized as G (Good), F (Fair), or P (Poor). Target coverage is denoted by the symbols T (Total) or PT (Partial). The mode of coverage is indicated by ST (Stereo), NS (Non-Stereo), or PS (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 within a country. AAA defenses are divided into three categories: light (ZPU-1, ZPU-2, ZPU-4, 37 mm), medium (57 mm, 85 mm), and heavy (100 mm 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).
