Military Personnel
1. On 6 November 1962 between the hours of 1400 and 1800 About 15
to 20 soldiers from various branches of the Soviet Army entered and left
the train station at Dzhulfa. One was a major from the armored troops,
two were Air Force officers, four were Infantry enlisted men and one was
an Artillery enlisted man. Four other soldiers had insignia strongly
resembling that of the Signal Troops. This insignia from a distance
looked like a bronze star shaped object divided by a verticle bar or
rod. Two soldiers wearing red Arm bands were patrolling the station.
The Artillery soldier was wearing an olive drab field uniform with a hat
with a stiff broad brim and a round crown. All of the other military
men were dressed in service uniforms and none had visible fire arms.

Reactivated Military Garrison
2. Since late September 1962 an abandoned military garrison about
350 meters north of the Dzhulfa train station has been reactivated. This
garrison consists of five one-story barracks-type buildings separated from
the rail yards by a 2-1/2 to 3 meter high brick wall. This wall and the
buildings recently had been painted, there were lights shining from the
windows of all the buildings and smoke coming from the chimney of One
of the buildings. In addition there were men in military dress walking
around between the buildings. Near the southwest corner of the compound
the barrels of two artillery pieces were pointing to the southwest over
the wall. These barrels had bores of about 20 to 25 centimeters. Attached
is a sketch of the location of the garrison.
