This report is one in a series on Soviet Ground Force and logistic
installations being prepared for a DIA/CIA Panel. The series is being
coordinated, published and disseminated by NPIC. The photographic-
analysis is being performed by the NPIC Photographic Analysis Group,
the CIA Photographic Intelligence Division (NPIC), and the Production
Center 1Plc (DIA). The photographic analysis for this particular re-
port was performed by the NPIC Photographic Analysis Group.
In the interest of uniformity, the titles and letter designators for
the facilities observed at these installations are identical with those
appearing in the project requirement. When a specific facility is not
observed both its title and letter designator are omitted in the report.
Titles and letter designators for the various facilities are as
follows: (A) railroad service, (B) road service, (C) landing strips,
(D) administrative and troop housing areas, (E) storage areas, (F) am-
munition storage areas, (G) POL storage areas, (H) other buildings and
facilities, (J) equipment storage/maintenance areas, (K) athletic fields,
(L) small arms firing ranges, (N1) driver training areas, (N) tank/
assault gun firing ranges, (P) flat trajectory firing ranges, (Q) artillery
emplacements (batteries), (R) infantry or combined arms field train-
ing area or courses, (S) special training facilities, (T) unidentified
facilities or tracking activity.

The Pruzhany Army Barracks Slobodka is
located 7 kilometers (km) southeast of Pruz-
hany (52-33N 024'-27E) on a probable all-
weather road connecting with Pruzhany and the
Kobrin-Ivantsevichi highway (Figure 1). The
Brest-Ivantsevichi rail line passes 7 km south.
There are two SAM sites (Pruzhany SAM Sites
B10-2 and 3) located in the vicinity of the in-
stallation. A direct road connection indicates
that troops are associated with them and are
probably billeted in this barracks area.
This )installation (Figures 2 and 3), in-
cluding a barracks area (AL-1) and an ad-
jacent training facility (TA-1), covers 830
acres and contains four administration build-
ings, 12 barracks, 23 support buildings, 11 stor-
age buildings, 16 probable dependents quarters,
eight vehicle maintenance buildings, and six
equipment storage buildings. This installa-
tion also contains three firing ranges, an ob-
stacle course, a wheeled-vehicle driver-train-
ing course, a probable rail-to-road transfer
point, an athletic field, a parade ground, and
an infantry field training area.
This area is covered by TALENT
photography and EYHOLE missions

Railroad Service
The Brest-Ivantsevichi rail line passes
7 km south. A spur with a probable rail-to-
road transfer point from the rail line, first
observed oni coverage, is imme-
diately southeast of the installation and prob-
ably serves the barracks area and the SAM sites.
Road Service
A probable all-weather road connects this
installation to Pruzhany and to the Kobrin-
Ivantsevichi highway.
Administrative and Troop Housing Areas
Area D1 (Figure 3) contains three admin-
istration buildings, eight barracks, and two
support buildings.
Area D2 contains four barracks and. four
support buildings. Foliage precludes further
analysis in this area.
Track activity throughout the installation
indicates probable occupany of all buildings.
The level of track activity has remained about
the same.
General Storage Area
Area -E contains seven storage buildings
and five support buildin s. Three storage
buildings were removed
Ammunition Storage Area
Area F, a possible ammunition storage
area, is a small fenced area immediately west
of the firing ranges; however, no buildings
are discernible.
Other Buildings
Area H1 contains 16 probable dependents
quarters first observed on

Area H2 contains one administration build-
ing, four storage buildings, and seven support
buildings. The area was obscured by clouds
and cloud shadow Track activity re-
mained constant on KEYHOLE coverage.
Equipment Storage/Maintenance Areas
Area J 1 contains two 150- by 30-foot ve-
hicle maintenance buildings; six equipment stor-
age buildings, three measuring 70 by 30 feet,
two 50 by 40 feet, and one 50 by 30 feet; and
three support buildings.
Area J2 contains three 150- by 30-foot
vehicle maintenance buildings and one support
building. Four vehicle maintenance buildings
were visible on Icovers e, but one was
removed
Area J3 contains three vehicle maintenance
buildings--measuring 260 by 45 feet, 260 by
30 feet, and 150 by 30 feet--and one support
building. Four vehicle maintenance buildings
were visible on F___~overage, but one was
removed 1- -1 All of
the vehicle maintenance buildings are prob-
ably for heavy repair work.
Athletic Fields
K 1 is an athletic field and K2 is a pa-
rade ground.
Small Arms Firing Ranges
Area L1 is a 600- by 150-foot small arms
firing range with heavy track activity.
Area L2 contains two 600- bv_ 75-foot
small arms firing ranges.
Track activity indicates continued use of
both ranges.
Driver Training Areas
Area M is an irregular shaped wheeled-
vehicle driver-training course first observed

Infantry or Combined Arms
Field Training Area
Area R is an infantry field training
area containing numerous trench systems and
fox holes.
Special Training Facilities
Area S is a probable obstacle course for
ground troops. A series of walls and other
obstacles are visible.
Unidentified Facilities
The areas marked T are excavations first
observed onE overage.
One km east o the installation are two
scarred areas (not. shown on sketch) connected
by multiple road loops in a heavily wooded
coverage. These scars are connected by a
good road to the driver training area.
