OCCUPIED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WILL PROVIDE POINT
THIS COMPLEX HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A COMMAND AND CONTROL
BUNKER, BUT THE EXACT ASPECT OF COMMAND AND CONTROL TO BE
PERFORMED HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE PRESENCE OF RADAR
POSITIONS AT THE COMPLEX WOULD TEND TO INDICATE THAT AN
AIR DEFENSE-RELATED COMMAND WILL LIKELY OCCUPY THE
FACILITY. (S/NOFORN)
