CIA Location codes research

Recommended Posts

Thread Post 1

In this first post I will try to illustrate a suspicion I have; namely, I think that "2X- xx" location codes are indicating a specific location within a city, rather than generally making referencing a particular city. These 2X-X codes, I surmise, are referencing a CIA HQ, embassy or consulate in a given city. 

 

These documents indicate Paris as both 15-4 and 20-4.

20 - 2 

20 - 1

https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/2018/104-10179-10031.pdf

20 - 1 London

20 - 2 Madrid

This is one of those situations that lead me to believe that 20 - codes refer to CIA HQ in a given City, or possibly a consulate or embassy. These city’s have dual codes with the city having one code and another to designate the specific location like an embassy or HQ.

re Richard Case Nagel

15-10 (?) redacted (as per Post #  16, Bern)

The above  and below documents lead me to speculate that 15-18 is Zurich.

15-18.
