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 Production Center IPlc.
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, (M) 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 areas or courses, (S) special training facilities, (T) unidentified
facilities or tracking activity.

This 40,000-acre training area is located
23 kilometers (km) northeast of Rovno at 50-
45N 026-30E.
Facilities include one wheeled-vehicle driv-
er-training area with two figure-8 courses, one
tracked-vehicle driver-training area, six tank/
assault-gun firing ranges, one flat-trajectory
firing range, one probable flat-trajectory fir-
ing range, 12 field artillery position areas, three
AAA sites, five infantry or combined arms field
training areas with extensive trench systems,
one bivouac area with an adjacent athletic field,
three probable ammunition storage areas, a
large open vehicle park, two probable mainte-
nance buildings, and a small lake which is prob-
ably used for amphibious or engineer training.
Railroad Service
A rail spur from the Rovno-Kostopol Rail-
way serves the training area in the northwest
portion. Also in this same general vicinity are
several sidings from which heavy trackage leads
into the training area.
Road Service
Good roads from Rovno and secondary roads
run throughout the training area.
Administrative and Troop Housing Area
A bivouac area (D) is located in the southern
portion of the training area.
Ammunition Storage Areas
Area F1 is a secured area containing five
possible ammunition storage buildings, each ap-
proximately 50 by 50 feet.
Area F2 is a secured area containing ap-

Other Buildings
Several buildings, probably for range sup-
port, are scattered throughout the area.
Equipment Storage/Maintenance Areas
Area Ji, a probable vehicle park, has nu-
merous unidentified vehicles parked in open in
several rows.
Area J2 contains six buildings, two of
which are probable maintenance buildings, each
approximately 185 by 60 feet.
Athletic Field
An athletic field (K) is located east of and
adjacent to the bivouac area.

Area M2, for wheeled vehicles, contains
two figure-8 driver training courses, and was

Tank/Assault-Gun Firing Ranges
Area N has six tank/assault-gun firing
ranges. One is 2,400 feet in length and has two
1,100-foot firing lanes with one target at 90 de-
grees; one is 2,700 feet, has three 2,300-foot
firing lanes with one target at 90 degrees; one
is 3,000 feet, has three 2,300-foot firing lanes
with one target at 90 degrees; one is 3,800 feet,
has six 2,400-foot firing lanes with one target at
90 degrees; one is 3,800 feet, has six 2,400-foot
firing lanes with two moving targets at 20 degrees
and one moving target at 90 degrees; and one is
3,600 feet, has three 2,300-foot firing lanes with
three moving targets at 45 degrees and one
moving target at 90 degrees.
All runs and targets were first observed in
Usage appears relatively constant
during summer and fall months.
Area P1 is 2,200 feet in length and has 10
targets at varying distances from the firing area.
The area was first observed in- Be-
tween four ovals
were added to the area in the vicinity of the fir-
ing line. Dimensions of these ovals are 400 by
150 feet with the long axis running parallel to
the target area.
Area P2 is 2,600 feet in length and is a
probable vehicle-mounted automatic weapons
firing range.

Artillery Emplacements
Six-position field artillery emplacements
are located in Areas Q1, Q2, Q4, Q5, Q8, Q9
and Qll. Four-position field artillery emplace-
ments are located in Areas Q3, Q6, Q10, Q11
and Q12. Six-position AAA emplacements are
located in Areas Q6 and Q7.
Infantry or Combined Arms
Field Training Areas
Areas R1 and R2 contain artillery firing
positions.
Heavy ground scarring indicates that the
eastern portion of Area R3 may be used as a
possible impact area
Ground firing lanes and heavy ground scar-
ring indicate Area R4 is probably used for field
training and/or firing.

Both have cleared areas in the centers.
