PREFACE
t
This Mission Coverage Index (MCI) furnishes a listing of items of intelligence
interest covered by aerial photography from TALENT Mission 3203 dated 10 De-
cember 1962. Items in this listing are arranged by country and within the country
by WAC area. Items are arranged within a WAC by coordinates reading from south
to north and from west to east. An explanation of column headings and photo ref-
erence data used in presenting the information is contained in the appendix.
For convenience of the user, a subject index to the intelligence targets has
been included following the listing. Targets in the subject index are listed (1)
by category, (2) alphabetically by country within the category, and (3) alphabetically
by place name within each country.
The user of this MCI is cautioned that the scan of photography from Mission
3203 was accomplished in a relatively short time and often without the aid of
precise analytical and mensural equipment commonly employed in detailed
photographic analysis. Consequently, although this information is essentially
accurate, future detailed analysis may somewhat alter portions of the information.
Mission 3203 covers the eastern part of the Sino-Indian Frontier area. The
Lhasa, Gyangtse, and Zhikatse areas, including major military installations,
were covered by good quality photography. Other items of intelligence interest
covered by this Mission included: major routes; numerous, although relatively
small storage and barracks areas along these routes; a possible electronics
site at Zhikatse; communications sites; and, possible helicopter pads at military
outposts in an area 75 NM NNE of Sadiya at 28-53N 095-58E and at a probable
military area just north of Bum La (Pass) at 27-43N 091-54E.

APPENDIX
EXPLANATION OF COLUMN HEADINGS
AND PHOTO REFERENCES
City, Installation--This column contains the name of the city or town nearest
the installation, followed by the name of the installation. If the name of the in-
stallation is not known, it is titled according to its function. The city and installation
names are followed by a capsule description, where appropriate.
Coordinates--Coordinates are referenced to the SW corner of the minute
square. When the subject installation covers a wide area, coordinates are given
for the approximate center of the installation.
WAC--This column provides the World Aeronautical Chart number for the area
in which the subject installation lies.
Installation Numbers--The Installation Numbers column is divided into two
subcolumns. The first subcolumn lists, when known, the BE installation number
assigned to the target. The second column lists the installation number assigned
by NPIC. Installation numbers, when used to reference an item, should be pre-
fixed by the appropriate WAC number, since the installation numbers are repeated
from WAC to WAC. For example, there is an NPIC target numbered 0437-1
and an NPIC target numbered 0438-1. In each instance, the NPIC installation number
is 1, but the installations appear on different WACs.
The photo reference indicates frame(s) on which the target appears, and con-
ditions which affect interpretation of the target.
