CSS-3 EQUIPMENT
DELINGHA POSSIBLE SSM R M SUPPORT AREA, CHINA
1. (S/D) SIGNIFICANCE: THE PRESENCE OF A COMPLETE CSS-3 UNIT AT
THIS REGIMENTAL-SUPPORT AREA SUGGESTS THAT DEPLOYMENT TO THE
FOUR ROLL-OUT-TO-LAUNCH SITES MAY SOON BEGIN.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: CSS-3 ICBM FIRST- AND SECOND-STAGE MISSILE
TRANSPORTERS ARE CONFIRMED AT DELINGHA POSSIBLE SSM REGIMENT
LEVEL SUPPORT AREA. MISSILE-ASSOCIATED GROUND SUPPORT
EQUIPMENT (GSE) WAS PRESENT WHEN THIS FACILITY WAS FIRST
IDENTIFIED AS A MISSILE-RELATED SUPPORT FACILITY IN SEPTEMBER
1980; HOWEVER, THE GSE COULD NOT BE SPECIFICALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH EITHER THE CSS-2 OR CSS-3 MISSILE SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION,
GARAGE FOUNDATIONS TO HOUSE CSS-3 GSE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN
THE SOUTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE FACILITY. THIS AREA WAS
PREVIOUSLY A SEPARATELY-SECURED STORAGE AREA FOR THE CSS-3 GSE
UNTIL WHEN THE GSE WAS MOVED TO ITS PRESENT
LOCATION IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION OF THE FACILITY.
THIS FACILITY WAS CONFIRMED IN DECEMBER 1981 AS A REGIMENTAL
HEADQUARTERS SUPPORT AREA FOR THE FOUR CSS-3 ROLL-OUT-LAUNCH
SITES IN THE DELINGHA AREA. CONSTRUCTION ON THE FOUR LAUNCH
SITES WAS NEARLY COMPLETE BY THE END OF 1981.
