I. SUMMARY;

(See Map - Principal Installations - OKINAWA GUNTO)

A new -airstrip is under construction near ITOlvIhlf - Town

on southern OKINAWA Siiirna, and an emergency landing area,

not previously reported by this activity, is on KUME Shima,

Construction on the Y0NA3ARU Airstrip apparently is dis­

continued. The other airfields in the G-unto, IE Shima, NAHA,

YONTAN, KATENA. and MACHIIUTO, remain operational, but some

damage has been done to their facilities. The report of

an airfield being under construction on IZSNA Shima of IHSYA

Retto is discredited by recent photographic coverage.

Recent photographic coverage confirms the report that

the final air strikes of 10 October 1944 caused widespread

damage and destruction by fire at NAHA Town, TOGUCHI (on

northern OKINAWA Siiiica) and ITQM^N T^wns also are damaged.

Air defenses are concentrated around the NAIIA, YONTAN,

and KATENA Airfields, Ground defenses are concentrated in

the YQ1CTAN-KATSNA area and the ILVKAGUSUKU V/an area.

Only ninor military activity is observed in the

Retto, arid little or no activity is observed on AG-UNI siiima,

TONACHI Shimay IZSNA Shiina, and the KEISAN Shu.

Target Area OK-3:

01. Coral surfaced runway 4,500* ;c 265' orient ad

ENE/WSW. The airfield haw beon broadened and

lengthened since previously reported by a

graded area being added on either side, and on

the southwest end of the runway, making over­

all dimensions of 4,o00r z 3B0 f . A 2,200 foot

extension is being const.rue ted on tii'o northeast

end which will give tha field a luiigth of 7,000

foet when completed. Thero* also ha« beon t'eme

attempt to camouflage the field by. simulating

walls and shadowP with paint.

04. A dispersal loop 9,000 feet lonto: with 12 rovct­

ments. Nets have been placed over the revet­

ir.en.ts, and the short strips of taxiway leading

to them have been camouflaged.

05. Dispersal lane 2,800 feet lon£ with nine revet­

ments and live parking bays wliioh are partially

hidden by trees. An additional dispersal taxi­

way is being added to the end of this taxiway.

Nets have been placed over the revetments and

the short taxiways entering them have been toned

A. SUMMARY
KERALA Retto is a group of small islands lying off

tne southwestern end of OKINAWA Siiima. The ialands, for

the most part, ere composed of uplifted material: 'sand­

stone, limestone, slate, etc. They rise as cliffs or steep

slopes; the four beaches of any length occur at trie mouths

of steep valleys or within small bays. With the excep­

tion of a few cultivated areas, the islands are covered

with.brush and tree;;. Snail mixes operate on YAJKABI Shina,

and KUBA Ghiua. A fringing reef of irrsgular width sur­

rounds each inland,

B. ESTHvIATBI) TROOP DISPOSITIONS

From a study of aerial photographs covering the KSRAMA

Retto dated 22 January 1945, there appears to be no mili­

tary installations and no military activity to dato on the

following islands: AKA, AMUHO, FJKASHI, GIStflBIJ, EERXJM4,

KOBA, and ZAMAMI.

Except for haze over two of the islands, the photo­

graphs were gonerally good and of a scale of i/5000. How­

ever, failure to observe activity or installations from

the photographs should not be construed to indicate com­

plete absence of military personnel. If thi usual prac­

tice of the Japanese Las been followed, there are prob­

ably coast watchers and lockouts stationed on each of tho

larger islands, numbering approximately 15-20 men pur is­

land .

On YAKAIJ, the westernmost island of tho r^tto, thore

is a radio station, in the vicinity of the mine, consist­

ing of a small building and two stick-typo masts. This

station is probably inannod by military or naval cornmimioiu"

tions personnel totaling epprozimatoly 20-30 men.

On T01OIS1IIKI back of the town of TOICASHIiOJ on the ;\.?st

coast, eight buildings which appear to be Kiska-typo bar­

racks iia^e boon constructed doep in protective ravines

and camouflaged. Ono group of four buildings are similar

in dimensions to naval barracks found at ElSKA and their

total capacity is estimated to be approximately 200 men.

Tho ether group of tour buildings are similar 'n dimen­

sions to army barracks found at KISKA and th;.jir total

capacity is osi/i'matcd to be approximat-ily 600 men. Ef­

forts to locate the gun installations and prepared posi­

tions for the troops- probably quartered in these' supposed

barracks have bo^n unsuccessful. One definite section of

firw trench was observed on 0TliIJA Mountain spproxiiuately

1600 yards south of and overlooking tho town of AWAKK.

This position, however, had only four foxholer? and a coin­

municction trench leading to a personnel shelter. Path

activity and scarred earth on the peak of tho high ground

inland from OIZUNO Saki and 1,000 yards north of the town

of TCKASHT.KI, on tho cast coast, indicate that field fort­

ifications r;ro possibly under construction there. Along

tho beach forward of the town of TOKASHIKU, which iy most

vulnerable to the barracks area, there is much path acti­

vity and scarred earth. This could be a natural .consequence

of thvj beach being the landing area for the town and also

for '-ny materiel and supplies brought' in for the garrison.

However, though no installations were identified with any

certainty, it is probc.blo that fortification of this beach

is in progress. Two underground entrances flanking the

beach at each end, woll suited and well sited for anti­

tank gun or artillery shelter, were observed, further in­

dicating the construction of fortifications in this area.

Bc;sed purely upon the foregoing observations, it is

estimated that the troops in the KERAMA Retto total ap­

proximately 800-1000 men.

TOKASHIKI SIIIMA

TOKASHIKI: Shiraa is about six miles long, north-south,

including AWARA Saki at the southern tip, and 7/S to lg

inile.s wido. For tho most part, oho coast rises r.s cliffs

or steep slopes out by narrow ravines. The island rises

to heights of over 6*50 ft. and, with the exception of a

few cultivated areas, is severed with trees end brush.

There .«re two small town's, TOiCVSZilKI (approximately 210

buildings) ^nd AWARE (approximately 9? buildings), locat­

ed at the backs of sheltered bays. A 10* x 400 f break­

water protects the bay at TOICA.SKIKI. A fringing reef

surrounds the island.

KA SKIMA

AKA Shima is irregular in shape-, measures 1-3/& miles

northweat-souther.st, and rises to heights of 500 to 600

ft. in tile central and northern portions. A small stream

runs into the se-'x near the northeast corner of the island.

With the exception of some low areas in the southern and

eastern part, the shoreline rises as cliffs or steep wood­

ed slopes. Only small pecket-beaohes occur along the steep

parts.of the coast, A line of rock outcrops extends 5/&

of a mile south from tho southern tip of AKA Shima. A

fringing reef surrounds the island. AKA Shima is separ­

ated from GERUMA Shima to the. south by a narrow shallow

channel.

Tho village of AKA Und some fields of rice and dry

crops cover the floors cf two small valleys at the south­

ern end of the island. A cart track leads from AKA through

the valley to the east to some small underground entrances

behind the beach on the eastern coast.

At AKA Village there is a 750-yard beach, most of which

is blocked by coral lodges juat off shure. The sandy point

extending south toward GERUMA Shina is comparatively unob­

structed, avt AKA a 165-yard stone seawall backs part of

the beach; the rest slopes up to the town itself.

Along the eastern coast north cf H A N T A Yaraa is a

620-yard be:-.eh, most of which is backed by a low grass-

covered riso. Three tracks eight ft. wide have been cut

through this rise and another angles over it; all of these

le??cl to a track parallel with the beach that serves the

mouths of numerous underground excavations, then winds

westward through the cultivated valley to AKA. In con­

junction with this, about ten 15 f x 8 f vehicles dispersed

in the area may indicate a possible amphibious tank base,

GERUMA SHIMA (KERUIvU SHIMA)

GERUMA Shiran, is nearly round and 5/B of a mile in dia­

meter. It rises in steep slopes and cliffs tc an eleva­

tion of 45^ ft. The village of GERUMA, at the southern

end of the island, is built on a snail flat, where two

short vrlloys reach the soa. The valley sides and bottoms

are planted in rice and other crops. Harrow shallow chan­

nels .separate GERUMA. Shima from AKA Shima to the north and

HOKA-JI Shiiia to the south. The island is nearly surround­

ed by r! fringing reef.

The only beac'fc of any size (170 yds.) lies along the

front cf GERUMA Village. It is backed by a stone seawall,

broken in the center where a trail leads to the town.

Two sma.ll beaches at the north end of the island ,.ave a

small channel through the coral to each of them. Behind

these beaches t^ere are many trails and soiaa small ex­

cavations.

EOKAJT SHIMA (FUKASHI JIMA)

HOICAJI Shina is about one riile ldng, north-south, and

a ,ialf-r.iile wide. It rises as a stoep sided nesa to heights

of about 200 ft. A few rough canyons cut into the rock and

there are several patches of cultivation along the higher

KXJBA SHIKA (KOBA JIM A)

KIJEA Shima is lj miles long, -north-south, and about 1/2

mile wide. The entire coast is bounded by cliffs and steep

slopes. A mountain at the southern end rises to 800 feet,

while a small semiplateau at the northern end reaches about

300 feet in height. Bare, rocky crags characterize the

extreme southern slopes; the central part is voodod; and. on

the northern plateau there is some cultivation and a small

group of buildings". On the slope, at the center of the

western side of the island, there is a mine, and at the

water's edge, a 60 ft. pier. A fringing reef bounds all of

the island except the southwestern tip.

The group of buildings on the plateau includes a

camouflage-painted power house and another larger camou­

flaged building. Most of the other structures appear to

be workers1 quarters. From a small building on the east­

ern edge of the plateau a steeply inclined track rune •

down to a short beach. There is possibly a narrow gauge

rail line on the incline. A line of poles runs from the

power house, near this small building, and down the hill­

side to the ber.eh. A short distance south of the lower

end of the incline there is a building at.the beck of the

beach.

A line of poles also runs west from the power house

to some mine buildings on the western hillside, possibly

continuing to a pump or springhouse near the foot of the

slope.

From some tunnel entrances of the mine a trail runs

to a chute that empties into a building stuck on the hill­

side. Other buildings farther down the slope apparently

process material from lower tunnels and dump a fine white

material into a pile at the foot of the slope. The stone

pier (60 ft. x S ft.), apparently bearing a narrow gauge

railway, projects into the water at this point. The sea­

ward approach to the pier is through large coral heads.

A well-worn trail runs from the nine to the settle­

ment and east to the head of the incline. Other trails run

down the hill, neraiVithe incline, to the beach and from the

settlement a short distance up the hillside to the south.

There are only three beaches offering any possibility

of exit. They are at the eastern end of the incline (150

yds, long), on the north coast (150 yds. long) and just

north of MOTOSENO Saki on the western coast (210 yds. long).

All are backed by steep slopes; trails lead up the hill­

sides from the eastern and western beaches.

KUBACHI Shima is a snail rocky promontory at the north

end of KUBA Shina, separated from that island by a very

narrow strip of water. A line of rock pinnacles runs west

400-500 yards fron MOTOSENO Saki, on KUBA Shina.

KUME ohicia isapproximately !5O miles west of OKINAWA.

The island is irregular in shape, tho longest dimension being

about eight miles northwest-southeast. The ave.rrj.ge width is

about four miles. Tho topography is rough, and most of the

coastline is steep and rccicy. There are relatively flat

coastal plains at GrJM.fi K G on tho southwest coast and at

SETMAJIRI Wan on the oast era coast. A lew saddle separates

these areas. Tho principal towns are GILIA. and. OTA, an the

southwest shor•••?., with about 300 and 200 buildings respectively,

and £110A in the east aeuitral part of tho island, with about

150 buildings.

Hadio Statjon• There ic- a probable radio-weather station

on a nigh ridge in tho north central part of the island. The

Gtstion consists of six soxall buildings and at least two masts.

Radar. A probable radar station ic approximately one

mile north of GIMA Town in tho contra! part"of the island.

Tho station conciRta o£ two email structures and a snail

chimney-typo grid.

ffncy Land lap; ffielcl. A flat area on tho eastern coast

near HIGA Town apparently its used as an emergency landing field.

No construction is observed, but there ic an inoperative single-

engine -plam; in tho area.

Lighthouse. There is a lighthouse or observation tower

on thu shore 01: GJMA Town.

Dcfonses. Inadequate photographic coverage precludes a

complete interpretation of defenses on KCJMK Shima.

2 automatic antiaircraft guns are adjacent

The twi> s.THi-^.11 tuv;ns of AG-UK1 and DiMA, on the s

coast, are cwrmocted by a go^d'road 8 tu 10 foet wide. The

rest of the isl:md is served by cart tracks and trails.

Along tho coast near the two t A/ns tncre are three places

where narrow channels have been cut through the rcof to

alluw very small boats to approach Iruiding platforms. The

channel and small cove at HAMA are protected by •:. s-Lvrt

breakwater.

The southern part of tho island Is inf.c-iise.ly cultivated,

the crops nil being uf the dry variety. On the r.i/rthorr.

half, the cultivation is broken b y strips and, in 3.;mc places

large areas of brush and low troos.

TONACHI Shima is twu miles long, north-south, rises to

a height of more than 500 feet and is surrounded, on all

sides but the south, by a br«-»a& fringing reef. Near the

northern end, the W.vii of TONAKI extends clear across a nar­

row neck of tho island, a distance of 3/3 of a mile.

The southern and northern ends rise abruptly out of the

ocean as r^ctry hills that slope down to a low saddle at the

Tuwn :>f TONAKI. The inner slopes and small valleys are

"terraced with rice paddies while the l^wer" flat land is in

dry crops. The rough, hilly area sloping to the sea on the

south is cover-ad with grass and brush.

There are t\Air b&cohos 1/4 -o 3/3 milos lv^ng, tv/o on

the west and two un the' eastern side of the island. Several

other smaller beaches occur, mostly on the west side. The

larger beaches are backed by brush and tr-se covered sand

dunes. The southern half of t.ho beach al^ng the west coast

at TONAKI is backed by a ruck ser.wall.

A 40'-fuot wide channel has been .out through the reef to

the beach at the western side of TONAKI Town. Three fishing

boats, 45 to 60 feet long, aro near the boach.
