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 IPlc (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, (F) storage areas, (F) am-
munition storage areas, (G) POL storage areas, (H) other buildings and

SUMMARY 25X1 D 25X1 D 25X1 D
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
probably billeted in this barracks area.
This installation (Figures 2 and 3),
cluding a barracks area (AL-1) and an
jacent training facility (TA-1), covers
in-
ad-
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 three KEYHOLE missions be-
tween Cloud
cover on TALENT coverage precludes obser-
vation of all areas. Comparative analysis of
KEYHOLE photography reveals the same gen-
eral level of usage between
Significant changes since
include the addition of 16 probable depend-
ents quarters, a probable rail-to-road trans-
fer point, and the removal of two vehicle main-
tenance buildings and three storage buildings.
25X1 D DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION 25X1 D 25X1 D
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 on - 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 buildings. Three storage
buildings were removed between
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 - coverage.
There is very light track activity in the area.

Area H2 contains one administration build-
ing, four storage buildings, and seven support
buiildings. The area was obscured by clouds
and cloud shadow in _ Track activity re-
mained constant on KEYHOLE coverage.
Equipment Storage/Maintenance Areas
Area J1 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 =coverage, but one was
removed between
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 =coverage, but one was
removed between All of
the vehicle maintenance buildings are prob-
ably for heavy repair work.
Athletic Fields
K1 is an athletic field and K2 is a pa-
rade ground.
Small Arms Firing Ranges
Area Li is a 600- by 150-foot small arms
firing range with heavy track activity.
Area L2 contains two 600- by 75-foot
small arms firing ranges.
The level of track activity has re-
mained constant.
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 on - coverage.
One km east of the installation are two
scarred areas (not shown on sketch) connected
by multiple road loops in a heavily wooded
area. They were first observed on -
coverage. These scars are connected by a
good road to the driver training area.
