2. REMARKS: THIS FACILITY WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ONI 25X1
WHEN COMPLETE, IT WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT STRUCTURES 2bX1
TO SUPPORT A MOTORIZED RIFLE (MR) OR TANK REGIMENT. THE

AREA, AND AN UNIDENTIFIED CONSTRUCTION AREA. THE BKS/ADMIN
AREA CONTAINS FIVE BUILDINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION: TWO
MULTISTORY BARRACKS (ONE ON GRAPHIC), A T-SHAPED MESSHALL, A
MULTISTORY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, AND A POSSIBLE HEATING
PLANT (NOT ON GRAPHIC). THE UNIDENTIFIED CONSTRUCTION AREA IS
APPROXIMATELY 400 FT SOUTHWEST OF THE BKS/ADMIN AREA AND

ADDITIONAL EXPANSION. GROUND CLEARING BEGAN ON THIS .
INSTALLATION BY MAY 1982, AND FOLLOWS A STANDARD SOVIET PATTERN

ANALYST'S COMMENTS: ZEYA, 72 NM NORTHEAST OF THE CHINA BORDER,
IS 117 NM EAST OF THE MOTORIZED RIFLE DIVISION (MRD) PRESENTLY
FORMING AT SKOVORODINO ARMY BARRACKS AND 106
NM NORTH OF THE 192ND MRD AT SHIMANOVSK ARMY BARRACKS AL-2 (BE
THE POSITIONING/RELOCATION OF A GROUND FORCES
UNIT OF AT LEAST REGIMENTAL-SIZE DIRECTLY BETWEEN THESE TWO MRD
WOULD FILL A LARGE GAP IN THE SOVIET BORDER DEFENSES IN THIS
AREA. HOWEVER, A MANEUVER REGIMENT IS NOT USUALLY CAPABLE OF
THE INDEPENDENT ACTION REQUIRED TO FILL THIS LARGE DEFENSIVE
GAP. THEREFORE, IF THIS INSTALLATION IS INTENDED TO HOUSE A
GROUND FORCES UNIT, IT MAY EVENTUALLY BE FURTHER EXPANDED TO
HOUSE A DIVISION. (SWN)
