COMMAND STAFF COMMAND POST DEPLOYMENT
KOMSOMOLSK NA AMURE ARMY BARRACKS, USSR
1. (SIM) SIGNIFICANCE: A COMMAND POST (CP) WITH SECURITY FORCES
HAS BEEN DEPLOYED FROM THIS INSTALLATION THIS "HORNING. THIS
DEPLOYMENT MAY PRESAGE A MILITARY DISTRICT LEVEL COMMAND POST
EXERCISE.
2. (SWN) REMARKS: ELEMENTS OF A COMMAND STAFF (RVGK/KGB) FIELD CP
DEPLOYED FROM THIS BARRACKS THIS MORNING. AS OF 0426Z, MOST OF
THE EQUIPMENT WAS ARRIVING AT A DEPLOYMENT SITE APPROXIMATELY
1 NM NORTH-NORTHWEST OF THE INSTALLATION. THIS EQUIPMENT WAS
STILL IN GARRISON AS OF 0035Z. SNOW CLEARING AT THE DEPLOYMENT
SITE HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY 0035Z.
(SWN) MOST OF THE EQUIPMENT ARRIVING AT THE DEPLOYMENT SITE IS
STILL IN CONVOY AND INCLUDES AT LEAST 28 VAN TRUCKS AND ONE
COMPUTER VAN TRAILER. TWO ADDITIONAL COMPUTER VAN TRAILERS,
ELEMENTS OF ONE POSSIBLE PARK DRIVE SATCOM SET, AND SIX VAN
TRUCKS ARE PARKED IN THE VICINITY OF THE DEPLOYMENT AREA, AND A
TENT IS SET UP AT THE WEST EDGE OF THE SIGNAL DEPLOYMENT SITE.
ONE TANK APPEARS TO BE SECURING THE EASTERN APPROACH TO THE
DEPLOYMENT SITE AND ANOTHER TANK IS DEPLOYED AT THE EDGE OF A
FIELD IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE SIGNAL DEPLOYMENT SITE.
(SWN) THE EQUIPMENT PRESENT IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE
DEPLOYMENT OF THE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER COMPONENT OF A FIELD
CP. THE PRESENT LACK OF A COMMANDANT UNIT (INDEPENDENT SERVICE
AND SECURITY UNITS) AND ONLY ONE CLEARED AREA SUGGEST THAT THIS
DEPLOYMENT WILL SUPPORT ONLY A LIMITED CP EXERCISE RATHER THAN
A FULL CP DEPLOYMENT WITH AN OPERATIONS SUPPORT GROUP (STAFF
OPERATIONS). THE PRESENCE OF SECURITY FORCES, HOWEVER, IS
UNUSUAL AND IS NORMALLY ASSOCIATED WITH COMMANDANT UNITS. IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT A COMMANDANT UNIT COULD BE DEPLOYED HERE LATER.
(SWN) IN ADDITION, A NORMAL LEVEL OF ACTIVITY I OBSERVED TODAY
AT KHABAROVSK ARMY BARRACKS AL-24 WHICH HOUSES 25X1
THE FAR EAST MILITARY DISTRICT SIGNAL BRIGADE. THIS UNIT WOULD
PROBABLY PARTICIPATE IN ANY MILITARY DISTRICT LEVEL EXERCISE.
