Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002000670004-3 SRV ENVELOPE 19 MARCH 1987 Site involves a large number of tracked, perhaps armored , vehicles. Vehicles are parked in a large area which has the feel of being designated for such a purpose. A few of the vehicles are moving into and out of the area. Sense of "motorpool" or POMCUS stocks is present, but equipment is neither NATO nor US. However, there is a further sense of anticipation or waiting, as if some change in the status of the equipment is imminent -- either a utilization en masse, or a switch-over in control of the entire inventory. Vehicles are "ready," "prepared," and "serviceable." Previously mentioned vehicles in motion are going to and from receiving some sort of preparation which all have received in their turn. These are the last few to receive this treatment. There is a sense that this equipment holding area would not normally be accessible to Western individuals, nor many natives of the area, for that matter. There is a sense that individuals in charge of an organization of which this is just one relatively small part are using this activity involving this equipment to political advantage, and that the political reprecussions of the activity are far more relevant, and the potential benefits far more valuable, than possible negative consequences that might result if there has been a miscalculation. Actvity seems to involve a second nation, or at least some extra-national agency or entity that is not inherently dependent on the organization to whom the equipment belongs. Equipment is probably military in design and purpose, but most important use of this equipment is not overt employment. Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00789R002000670004-3
