ADDITIONAL SIGNAL ASSETS
KYAKHTA ARMY BARRACKS NORTH AL-2, USSR (SWN)
1. SIGNIFICANCE: LARGEST NUMBER OF TWIN EAR A TROPOSCATTER
RELAY SETS SEEN WITH A COMBAT UNIT IN THE SOVIET UNION.
(SWN)
2. REMARKS: FOURTEEN TWIN EAR SETS WERE IDENTIFIED AT KYAKHTA
ARMY BARRACKS NORTH AL-2. THE TWIN EAR WERE SEPARATELY FENCE
SECURED INTO FIVE GROUPS. ONE GROUP HAD SIX TWIN EAR AND THE
OTHER FOUR HAD TWO TWIN EAR EACH. THE AREA FORMERLY HOUSED
ONLY THE SIGNAL BATTALION FOR THE 5TH GUARDS TANK DIVISION.
HOWEVER, SINCE THE REORGANIZATION OF THE DIVISION'S COMBAT
MANEUVER REGIMENTS INTO PROBABLE BRIGADES, THE STATUS OF THIS
SIGNAL BATTLAION HAS BEEN IN QUESTION. (SWN)
ANALYST'S COMMENTS -- THE GROUPING WITH SIX TWIN EAR IS
PROBABLY THE NUCLEUS OF AN ARMY/CORPS LEVEL COMMUNICATIONS
RELAY BATTALION (COMMO RELAY BN) AND THE FOUR OTHER SEPARATE
GROUPS COULD BE SIGNAL ASSETS/ELEMENTS, ONE FOR EACH nF THE
THREE BRIGADES AT KYAKHTA TK DIV HQ/BKS AL-1
AND THE SINGLE BRIGADE AT KYAKHTA AL-2. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE
THAT MOST OR ALL OF THIS COMMO RELAY EQUIPMENT IS PART OF A
NEWLY FORMED OR FORMING TROPOSCATTER RELAY UNIT FOR THE
UNIQUE FORCE TAILORING OCCURRING AT KYAKHTA. (SWN)
