MANEUVERS (U) Exercise TIMBER LINE was a joint US Army, Air Force and Canadian Army maneuver, conducted by the Alaskan Command, 11-20 February 1963. USASAAL support consisted of VHF multichannel COMSEC monitoring, COMJAM, ICD, and pseudo COMINT. The pseudo COMINT effort was generally successful and reflected improvement over the previous year's exercise. Primarily responsible for this success was the utilization of manpack intercept systems placed clandestinely behind and forward of opposing units. Result& from this effort illustrated the. desirability for further utilization and testing of manpack intercept teams in support of northern operations. • 52 Doc ID: 6558569 SECRET CARIB.BEAN HQ USASA, CARIBBEAN 40 lat iISASA SOD (Abn) .-: ... . ·.
