NEW TANK REGIMENT IN FUZHOU MILITARY REGION
CHANGLE ARMY BARRACKS WSW, CHINA

IDENTIFIED IN THE FUZHOU MILITARY REGION, OPPOSITE TAIWAN.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: A TANK REGIMENT HAS BEEN NEWLY IDENTIFIED AT

19 KM SOUTHEAST OF THE CITY OF FUZHOU AND 5 KIv4 SOUTH OF MAWEI.

HEADQUARTERS BUILDINGS, SEVEN MULTISTORY ADMINSTRATION BUILDINGS,
14 MULTISTORY BARRACKS, SEVEN MULTISTORY QUARTERS, 18 VEHICLE

NPIC/IEG (1/82)
22 JANUARY 1982
(S/D) THE SUBORDINATION OF THIS REGIMENT CANNOT BE CONFIRMED AT
THIS TIME. THE EXTENSIVE FACILITIES AT CHANGLE SUGGEST THAT A
UNIT LARGER THAN A REGIMENT MAY BE GARRISONED HERE. THE
INSTALLATION IS LOCATED ALONG THE MIN-CHIANG (RIVER) AND IS
EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO NAVAL LOGISTICS SUPPORT. THIS SUGGESTS A
POSSIBLE NAVAL INFANTRY FUNCTION. HOWEVER, IF THIS TANK REGIMENT
IS A CONVENTIONAL MAIN FORCE PLA UNIT, IT WOULD BE UNDER THE
OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF EITHER THE 29TH ARMY OR THE FUZHOU
MILITARY REGION COMMANDER. THE TAIWANESE i-IA-TSU DEFENSE COMMAND
IS LOCATED 60 KM NORTHEAST OF CFIANGLE. 25X1
