A military training area (TA-1) covering
approximately 4,300 acres is located 8 kilo-
meters (km) west of Lyuboml, at 51-14N 024-
02E (Figure 1).
Facilities include a tracked-vehicle driver-
training area, a wheeled-vehicle driver-training
area with two figure-8 courses, a tank/assault-
gun firing range, a probable automatic weapons
firing range with four lanes, a combined arms
training area, and two areas containing un-

Driver-Training Areas
Area Ml is an elliptical closed circuit
tracked-vehicle driver training area first ob-
served in -

vehicle driver- training courses first observed
in
Tank/Assault-Gun Firing Range
Area N, first observed in- has a
identified trackage. D
A comparative study of iW KEYHOLE
missions from
reveals no significant change in the size of
the training area (Figure 2). Facilities have
remained the same with the exception of the
addition of the driver-training courses. Usage
appears consistently heavy during the summer
and fall months and very light during the winter.
4,400-foot firing range with two 2,8.00-foot lanes
