Comparative photography has revealed that the probable training platforms
which are located throughout the Huan - ei Militar Com 1ex have not
changes in numbers or location These
platforms are arranged in groups o r~lve wi-E~1ong pla orm~building
located in line with or across from them. These probable training 2 5X1
platforms could possibly be associated with airborne training. They
could also be, however, some device for training ground forces.
As a supplement to this report two examples have been included which.
show the same type of probable training platform being utilized in other
military installations (see Figures 13 and 14~. A map is included which
indicates the general geographic proximity of these installations to one
another (see Figure 12~.
Comparative coverage of the Huang-pei Military Complex has not revealed
artillery or pieces of equipment in any of the open areas within the
various installations. The presence of an anti-tank division or any
other type of artillery unit cannot be verified from available photographic
coverage.
