The installation is served by a spur from this line and has access via all-weather secondary roads to the Pinsk urban area. A SA-0 SAM site and related facilities are located approxi- mately 4.5 kilometers (km) west and a Military Barracks Area is located approximately 10 km west. The secured POL storage area covers ap- proximately 17 acres and contains 11 vertical tanks and 2 rows of probable horizontal tanks. The installation was covered by four KEYHOLE Missions between Comparative analysis of KEYIIOLEphotog- raphy of in- dicates no apparent change in the level of usage. This installation is connected by a rail spur to the Brest-Litovskaya railroad line. The spur appears to pass through the fenced installation to form a "Y", with a return track outside the installation. This storage area is served by secondary all-weather roads with connections to the pri- mary roads of Pinsk. 25X1 D POL Storage Tanks Area G1 contains two vertical tanks and two banks of horizontal tanks. Comparative analysis reveals the same level of usage for the tanks, but the small scale of photography precludes mensuration. 25X1 D Area G2 contains two vertical tanks, feet in diameter, and seven vertical tanks, feet in diameter. Support Buildings Three small support buildings are located in the POI, storage area.
