FOREWORD
This report provides estimates of the consumption of petroleum products
by the military and paramilitary Services of the countries of the Sino-Soviet
Bloc for the years 1956 and 1957. It is an updating of EIC-PSC-WPl9 dated
1 April 1956$, which provided estimates for the years 19509 through 1955. No
attempt has been made to revise the estimates contained in the earlier
report.
The report was prepared under the sponsorship of the Economic Intelligence
Committee Subcommittee on Petroleum to meet a designated research deficiency,
It is intended that the report serve members of the intelligence community
in petroleum supply/demand studies for countries of the Sino-Soviet Bloc.

1. Introduction.
The estimates of military consumption included in this report were developed
independently by the appropriate intelligence authorities of the U.S. Departments
of Army, Navy, and Air Forces. The particular responsibilities for the preparation
of consumption estimates for similar consumers in the Sino-Soviet Bloc are as
follows
Army - Appendix A. Sino-Soviet Bloc ground forces; militarized
security forces.
Navy m Appendix B. Sino-Soviet Bloc naval forces ashore and
afloat.
Air Force m Appendix C. Sino-Soviet Bloc air forces; naval air
forces, civil aviation; aircraft engine testing.
Since consumption data, per se, was not available, the estimates represent
calculations based on probable numbers and types of equipment, the estimated
use thereof, and the petroleum product consumption per unit time or distance.
The margin of error is estimated to be + 15 percent for all consumption
estimates.
2. Estimates of Consumption.
The estimates of consumption of petroleum products by the Army, Navy,
and Air Forces of the countries of the Sino-Soviet Bloc for the years 1956
and 1957 are summarized in Table 1. Military consumption by product and
by location of forces is summarized in Table 2.
The supporting data and methodology for Tables 1 and 2 are included in
the appropriate appendixes.
a. The estimates of consumption represent the best available information
as of December 1957.

Appendix A
GROUND FORCES
1. Soviet and European Satellites.
A. Assumptions.
(1) Ground units of the Soviet Army were at authorized Table of
Organization and Equipment (TO/E) strengths in tanks, assault guns, and other
vehicles during'1956-57.
(2) The performance of any given type of vehicle is uniform.,
reg'rdless of role. For example., the consumption rate for a truck used to
transport heavy cargo is the same as the rate achieved in transporting troops.
(3) 411 tractors in Soviet unite burn diesel fuel (although a few
may use gasoline).
(,) The vehicle strength of the militarized security forces id
allocated on the basis of one average truck per 15 troops. The vehicle strength
of the signal troops is the same as that of comparable signal units in the
Soviet Army.
(5) Vehicles employed in transport use are allocated gasoline for
79200 miles of annual operation. Vehicles employed for non-transport use,,
i.e.., primarily combat,, are allocated gasoline for 29100 miles of annual
operation.
(6) All vehicles in the Soviet border troops are considered to be
transport as opposed to combat. For the remaining security forces only 25
percent are transport vehicles.
(7) Consumption of petroleum products by the European Satellite
ground forces was based on estimated vehicle strengths, unit strengths, and
recent reports of annual consumption in two of the Satellites. Satellite
security forces were allocated one average truck per 20 troops.
B. Methodology.
(1) Annual gasoline consumption by the Soviet ArrW ground forces
was calculated on the basis of the estimated total number of authorized
gasoline burning vehicles in divisional and non-divisional units, military
schools., and depot installations. In all instances, vehicles were divided
into ",ransport" and "other" vehicles. Transport vehicles were allocated
gasoline for 7,200 miles annually, "other" vehicles were allocated 2,100
miles. Such milage was obtained from the most recent Soviet documents
and reports. Consumption was calculated at the rate of eight miles per gallon.
(2) The fragmentary information available on Soviet tank and assault
gun training indicates that most of the armor assigned to troops is kept
in storage for most of the year. It is believed that abort 10 percent of
the tanks and assault guns in units is used throughout the year for
training and that another 10 percent is added from the tank park during
summer field training. The remaining 80 percent is used during relatively
short term maneuvers and in short moves to and from rail stations. The
following rates of operation'were used.
Approved For Release 2000/08/18 : CIA-RDP92BO109OR000300010007-7
 Approved For Rase 2000/08/18 : CIA-RDP92B@ 90R000300010007-7
10 percent, year-round training 800 hours
10 percent, summer training 150 hours
80 percent, maneuver training 50 hours
These rates were applied to the approximate 40,000 tanks and assault guns
in the hands of Soviet troops. Fifty percent of the armor in reserve
storage was allocated fuel for P hours of maintenance operation per year.
Consumption was calculated at the rate of 10.3 gallons per hour for medium
tanks and 20.7 gallons per hour for heavy tanks. Fuel consumption for
tractors was allocated on the basis of 800 miles per vehicle per year,
and calculated at the rate of 1, mile per gallon. Tank recovery vehicles,
which are converted tanks, were allocated 50 hours annually per vehicle.
(3) Gasoline consumption by the Soviet militarized security
forces was calculated in the basis of 7,200 miles per truck for the Border
Troops. For the other security troops, only 25 percent of the vehicles
were considered on the "transport" category. The remaining vehicles of
these troops were allocated 2,100 miles. The Interior Troops were also
allocated 2,500 tons of diesel fuel annually for whatever artillery, tractors,
and tanks they have.
(4) Available intelligence does not permit the development
of valid estimates for petroleum products consumed in space heating,
cleaning, and lighting.
'C. The Estimates.
The consumption estimates for the Soviet and European Satellite
ground forces and-militarized security forces are shown in Tables A-1
through Amid
2. Communist China and the Asiatic Satellites.
A. Assumptions.
(1) Vehicle consumption per day in gallons is assumed as follows,
Trucks
Self
Propelled Guns
North Korea
3.6
6.9
8.4
Communist Chinese in Korea
3.6
6.9
8.4
Communist Chinese in China
1.25
2.0
2a,0 Heavy
1.0 Light
North Vietnam
3.75
Trucks operating in Korea are assumed to travel 850 miles
per month; in Communist China, 300; and in North Vietnam, 900. These
consumption rates allow for a vehicle deadline factor of about one-third.
Consumption rates are higher in Korea and North Vietnam than in Communist
China because of greater utilization of vehicles; vehicle operation in Communist
China is believed to be sharply restricted.

B. Methodo.
The estimated number of vehicles for each year was based on an analyses
of TOE authorizations, reports of the numbers of vehicles on hand, Pnd
imports, The number of vehicles was multiplied by the daily consumption
factor, The nuantities so developed were multiplied by 365 to obtain a yearly
figure,
C. The Estimates.
The consumption estimates for Communist China and Asiatic
Satellite ground forces are shown in Table A-S.

NAVAL FORCES*
1. Sino-Soviet Bloc Naval Forces.
A. Methodolo&y.
These estimates were developed by the following method:
(1) Order of Battle was taken from Strength and Disposition of
Foreign Navies (ONI?30-S/D) as revised for each year,
(2) An operational schedule (number of days at sea., in port and in
shipyards) of each vessel type was developed on the basis of the best
available intelligence, filled in and expanded by the use of USN experience.
(3) Fuel consumption for each vessel type for each day at sea, in
port and in yards was estimated on the basis of the best available intelligence
or the most comparable USN type, modified as required.
(4) The fuel consumed per vessel year was estimated using data
developed in steps 2 and 3 and multiplied by the number of vessels of that
type on 1 July of each year to give annual consumption per type,
(5) Annual consumption of all vessels in each type was totaled to
give total consumption for the naval forces afloat.
(6) Consumption of Naval Forces ashore is estimated on the basis of
a per man requirement. The result is considered as all gasoline, although a
small., probably insignificant, part of this total would be kerosene and diesel.
(7) Requirements for lubricants are estimated at 1 percent for fuel
oil data, 2 percent for diesel oil data and 5 percent for gasoline data.
(8) These estimates include units attached to pare-military
organizations.
B. The estimates.
The consumption estimates for Sino Soviet Bloc naval forces are
shown in Tables B-1 and B-2 ,
* Naval Air orces consumption is included with Air Forces in Appendix C.

Appendix C
AIR FORCES-
1. Sino-Soviet Bloc Air Forces.
A. Assumptions and methodology,
(1) Aircraft fuels and lubricants.
(a) Aircraft in operating regiments - The air order of battle
for aircraft of each Satellite country, Soviet forces in each Satellite
country, and the USSR, for the years 1950-1955, was established. Since Soviet
aircraft strengths are normally stated as TO/E strengths, the percentage of
TO/E for each type regiment was used to determine actual aircraft strength.
Flying time per aircraft was based on the estimated pilot time per year for
each type regiment. A factor for the ratio of aircraft to pilots was determined
in order to, get actual aircraft times per year. A handling factor loss of
3.O4 percent for aviation fuel, and 3,57 percent for aviation lubricating oil
was used.. Oil consumption factors used are 1.62 percent of fuel consumed for
piston engines, and .163 percent of fuel oonsumed for jet engines.
(b) Aircraft in training establishments - Aircraft assigned to
the military training establishment and para-military organizations were
determined for each year. Flying hours per aircraft in these training schools,
as estimated in the current issue of AIS-26/1, "Sino-Soviet Bloc Air
Planning Factors," were used in determining the consumption for all training
aircraft.
(c) Aircraft in civil aviation - Civil aircraft include those
assigned Civil Air Fleet, Polar Aviation, and civil training schools. Monthly
flying hours for aircraft in the Civil Air Fleet, as shown in AIS 2-2,
"Estimated Sino-Soviet Bloc Selected Air Order of Battle," were used to
determine consumption.
(d) MAP Aircraft (testing) - Time factors were established for
engine run-in and aviation industry testing prior to turning aircraft over to
the military establishment, for aircraft and engine modifications and
overhauls performed by MAP, and for aircraft permanently assigned to the MAP.
(2) Diesel fuel and motor gasoline.
(a) Based upon the current average daily consumption rate against
regimental strengths as estimated in AIS 2-26 and current AOB publications.
(3) Kerosene and fuel oil.
(4) The requirements for heating and lighting are considered
to be insignificant in comparison to other petroleum product requirements.
No estimates have been made for kerosene and fuel oil used for this purpose.
B. The Estimates.
The estimated increased aircraft fuel consumption for 1956-1957 reflects
the transition to jet aircraft, without any significant decrease in the number
of conventional aircraft, the increased consumption of fuel per plane, and the
increase in operational flying time.
The consumption estimates for Sino-Soviet Bloc Air Forces, including
Naval Air Forces, are shown in Tables C-i, C-2, and 0-3.
