65. (Continued) — PSALAI ba bax : IRCNBARK i IRBM is probably intended for these sites because they closely resemble Soviet sites believed to be associated with testing and deployment of this missile system. Site 1 is considered to be in a mid- to late-stage of con- struction and should be operational within six weeks. Site 2 is in an earlier stage of construction and could be operational between 15 and 30 December 1962. There are no missiles or support equipment detectable within the Guanajay Area at the present time. : Command and Control 4. All of the offensive missile systems in Cuba are Soviet manned and controlled. We believe that offensive action by these systems would be commanded from the Soviet Union, buthave not yet identified the communi- cation link. Nuclear Warheads for Offensive Missiles { ! | | | | 5. We believe that a nuclear warhead storage site is under construction adjacent to the most complete of the fixed missile launch sites near Guanajay (see Figure 6}. This site could become operational at about the same time as the associated Launch Site 1. Construction of similar facilities has not yet been identified at other sites. 6. An especially secure port facility locatedat Punta Gerardo may be used for nuclear weapons offloading (see Figure 10). 7. There is still no evidence of currently operational nuclear storage facilities in Cuba. Nevertheless, one must assume that nuclear weapons could now be in Cuba to support the operational missile capability as it becomes available. 8. The 1020-nm missiles would probably be equipped with nuclear warheads yielding 2 to 3 megatons. The 2200-nm IRBMs could have 3- to
