Baranovichi Air Depot Long Range is loca-
ted 25 kilometers (km) southwest of Baranovichi
(53-08N 026-01E) and one km south of the
village of Lesnaya. The Brest-Baranovichi rail
line passes the northern edge of the installation
but does not provide rail service. The depot
is served by a secondary access road which con-
nects with the main all-weather highways ex-
tending from Brest to Baranovichi and from
Brest to Bobruysk. The Baranovichi Barracks
and Maneuver Area (TA-1) is located 7 km north
and is connected to the storage area by a sec-
ondary road. Other military installations inthe
area include Ammunition Storage Area Paul-
inovo, 8 km northeast, and the Ammunition
Storage Area Lesnaya North, 11 km northeast.
This large secured installation enclosed by
a 160-foot wide fire break covers approximately
350 acres and contains a double secured inner
area. The inner area contains 25 storage
buildings and an open probable vehicle park lo-
cated at the south end. The outer area contains
one administration and 11 support buildings.
The depot was covered by

~hotog-
missions
hotography revealed heavy usage but
in level of usage during the time of
photography could not be determined.
Significant changes since = include the re-
moval of five storage buildings, the addition of
four other storage buildings, and the addition of
eight support buildings.
this depot is possibly no longer associated
with the Long Range Air Force. The direct
road connections with the Baranovichi Barracks
and Maneuver Area, Lesnaya (TA-1) indicate
probable association with that Ground Forces
installation.

Baranovichi-Lesnaya Training Area.
