ANALYST'S COMMENTS: SINCE THE SOUTH AFRICAN ATTACK ON THE
FORMER CAMP AT CASSINGA IN MAY 1978, SWAPO HAS ATTEMPTED TO
PROTECT ITS CAMPS IN SOUTHERN ANGOLA BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
VEGETATION FOR CONCEALMENT, BY DISPERSING ITS FACILITIES
OVER A WIDE AREA, AND ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND BUNKER
NETWORKS. EXTENSIVE TRACK ACTIVITY AND THE PRESENCE OF AIR
DEFENSES INDICATES THE JAMBA CAMP IS A SWAPO REGIONAL
HEADQUARTERS AND STORAGE DEPOT. ITS PROXIMITY TO THE
SOUTHERN RAIL LINE FACILITATES THE RECEIPT OF MILITARY
EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES THAT ARE MOVED INLAND FOLLOWING
DELIVERY TO MOCAMEDES PORT FACILITIES
THERE IS ALSO A LARGE ANGOLAN AND CUBAN GROUND FORCE
PRESENCE AT THE NEARBY JAMBA AIRFIELD WHICH AFFORDS SOME
SECURITY THREAT OF SOUTH AFRICAN GROUND ATTACK.
