| No net assessment of the overall military capabilities of one nation vs those of another nation would be meaningful without a detailed evaluation of the defense manpower of both nations -- their major characteristics, similarities, dissimilarities, strengths, and weaknesses. In the case of the United States, the collection, analysis and organization of data on defense manpower tends to be a relatively straightforward process, but Soviet defense manpower is seldom studied ... |

| The walk-through survey of Cabras Island produced one historic site. This is not surprising since the island has been a transportation and logistic area that experienced major shipping, construction, and related military activities over the past seventy-seven years. The remains of the quarantine station are not threatened by the proposed Commercial Port expansion, and any impact upon the site should be negligible. |
