Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000500200019-5 Working paper Proj. no: Date: 14 June 89 Viewer: 003 Session: 002 Summary of Information Site involves a large, closely spaced but extensively spread out group of buildings. Central to the grouping is one or more larger, innerly voluminous structures with a curving, domed component to the roof (s) . Significant height, spaciousness, geometric patterns, embrasures, thick walls, masonry construction are all elements of the structure (s) . There is a sense that one main, large structure is the focus of the site, and that a religious/philosophical aspect is present. It seems not to be specifically an operational/intelligence type site. There is a group of people talking, planning, meeting, discussing; at issue is future guidance/planning for something under their control. Deards and headdresses are common among the group (A/S Middle Fast locale) . There is a sense of relief and optimism -- a "new leaf" sort of a feeling. The structure is intended primarily for gathering people together, perhaps in some sort of religious commonality. A/S "like" some sort of transition from one power base to another or one regime to another or one "commander" to another.

There is presently an electrifying sense of excitement about the place. The structures are huddled together, of different heights; many are squarish, but at least a few are high, with rounded/domed tops, spacious and open inside. Some of the structures are for congregating, some for living in; some serve function. There is a more of a public or governmental/official sense of self-contained community; it doesn't feel political or technical in any particular fashion. The people are non-US, move around individually or in groups; there is a sense that at least some of them wear long, flowing clothing or robes, and some have beards. There is a sense of third world culture and religious The people have a sense of seriousness or solemnity, brought about by some current occasion. Black and very white white are significant at the site. Surrounding terrain is open, rolling, billy, with an arid, almost desert climate. There are scrubby bushes, and the ground has a dry, rocky, crumbly surface. There are specific boundaries to this site, that is, where it "ends"/"starts" and where "other" begins/ends.

Other gestalts include water, land and motion. The structural elements of the site evoke such descriptors as black, tall, narrow, curved, slick, big, smooth and slick. The land is green, brown and open. At this point I experienced a strong AOL of Dushanbe this AOL was caused by the true concepts of tall, curving, many, modern, black airy and curved and the AOL/S of mountain.

The site is a small military compound of less than 2000 people. Uniforms are very dark in color. There is a large several story building with some offices in it. In front of this building are a cluster of mobile military weapon structures. These are black and have an unusual dimensionality to them -- lots of non-90 degree angles. These weapon "structures" are identical and are the only type of weapon besides small arms in this compound. These mobile weapon "structures" are past the R&D and experimental stages but are not deployed "out front" to use a US analogy it is as if these weapons are in a small base in Kansas but not in Germany or (p.8) Korea. A sketch of the area is shown. The area where the compound is, is leveled off flat and brown. Nearby the landscape is steep. Somewhere in the area is a flat, paved off area like a tarmac/ (S-7) "tamarack. " The air is cold. HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000500200019-5

I) structure is .] stories, square, broad and wide. This large structure is the pivot point for activity at the site. Next to this large, broad structure is a smaller structure of concrete block construction. The land where the structures are had to be levelled befor they were built. The activit. this complex is very structured. It is planned step by step, very orderly -- one thing after another. Workers here are government civilians. This place has an overwhelming sense of order and practicality around it. Sense of rigidly followed line and block diagrams and flow charts. The large buildin ms to produce mainly a paper rather than a material product: analysis is conducted. The building has a sense of 'ordi !: " iness' about it. Lots of practical items done. R&D, while present, is not the main purpose but rather a minor by- product that be attended to as it is expected. , The small building is reminiscent (AOL) of a garage (repair type) . There are metal beams across the ceiling from which things are suspended. There is equipment, wires and cables.

Every 10-15 feet are metal beams running widthwise across the ceiling. There are metal things (A/S: hooks or clamps) hanging from the beams. The floor is shiny, polishy cement. building is 40-80 feet wide and the ceiling is 20-30 feet high. The Teams of 6-8 men are working on the vehicles (mobile weapon systems) . They are wearing old, worn out clothing. The turn around time for each team on a vehicle is 2 weeks. The vehicles are brought in 10-20 at a time on something flat A/S 'like' a flatbed railroad car or truck. The workers here are efficient and surprisingly serious and committed about their work. This is not a slack operation -- things are done with precision and pride. HANDLE VIA SKEET CHANNELS ONLY Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000500200019-5
