TOP \SECRET_ FOREWORD This contribution to NIE 11-14-64 presents the evidence regarding Soviet theater forces that has been acquired since the preparation of the General Purpose Forces section of the Intelligence Assumptions for Planning (IAP). Specifically this contribution brings up to date our knowledge of (1) Soviet policy and doctrine for ground, naval, and air theater operations;. (2) the Soviet Tactical Air Force and the Satellite Air Forces; (3) the Soviet Naval Surface, Submarine, and Air Forces; and (4) the Soviet tactical missile systems. In addition, the contribu- tion reviews briefly the evidence pertinent to Soviet development of an antitactical ballistic missile iATEI) system and the effects of the low wartime birth rate on the manpower available for military conscription since 1959. No attempt has been made to review Soviet ground force capabilities as this subject remains under consideration by the Joint CIA/DIA Panel Study Group. Also, there is no consideration herein of the airlift or sealift forces, because little could be added to the material contained in the IAP. TOP S CRET
