Mr. William J. Casey
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D.C. 20305
Dear Mr. Casey:
r=i-C
13 January 1984
The following items of intelligence are provided for your use this
1. Extensive efforts have been made to make the major command, control and
communications facility at Olesno appear to be a around forces installa-
tion.
The bunker
complex will probably serve at the CP for a High Command of Forces for
the Western TVD. The only other permanent High Command of Forces is a
Ulan Ude and serves the Far East TVD.
Of note, had it not been for prior identification of this facility, the
CC&D measures taken would have made it extremely difficult to identify
Olesno as a C3 complex.
2. North Korean propaganda and military reaction to South Korean-US Exercise
TEAM SPIRIT 84 have begun. Themes of the propaganda campaign maintain
that the purpose of the exercise is to prepare for an invasion of North
Korea and that the US seeks to expand its military presence in the Far
East, making the exercise a threat to the entire region.
3.
North Korea's reaction to last year's exercise was one
of the strongest and most visible responses to TEAM SPIRIT yet noted --
a publicly declared "semi war state" was put into effect from 1 January
to 26 April. If declared again this year, it will likely go into effect
about 1 February and may be preceded by the initiation of in-garrison
camouflage and equipment dispersal. Alternatively, the lack of a major
joint-service exercise in 1983 leaves open the possibility of North Korea
reacting to TEAM SPIRIT 84 with a major military exercise in the February
to March period.
