Kamyshlov Army Barracks is located 13
kilometers (km) west of Kamyshlov (58-50N
062-41E) on the north side of the Sverdlovsk-
Tyumen rail line (Figure 1). The installa-
tion is not rail served, but all-weather roads
afford access to the Sverdlovsk-Tyumen rail
line. Kamyshlov Camp West, a large training
area containing five tank ranges (each with
movable, known distance target runs), aprobable
artillery range, and three small-arms ranges
(of which only one appears to receive consid-
erable usage), adjoins the installation on the
north and east.
The installation (Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5)
encompasses approximately 345 acres and in-
cludes a total of 320 buildings, of which there
are 20 administrative, 79 barracks, 15 general
The installation is connected by an all-
weather, probably hard-surfaced road with pri-
mary roads serving Sverdlovsk, Tyumen, and
Kamens Uralskiy. The same road also connects
the installation with the Sverdlovsk-Tyumen
rail line.
Administrative and Troop Housing Areas
Area D1 (Figure 3) contains three admin-
istrative, 10 barracks, and 22 support build-
ings. There is a large possible vehicle hard-
stand located adjacent to a T-shaped admin-
istrative building.
Area D2 contains 14 barracks, one admin-
istration/barracks, and one support building.
Area D3 contains four barracks. One
large and three small aprons are located in
front of these buildings.

storage, 192 general support, and 14 vehicle/
equipment maintenance and storage buildings.
The installation appears to be divided into
four separate functional areas plus a general
administrative area. Associated tracks and
target ranges indicate that two barracks areas
are probable mechanized units; another area
is associated with a probable artillery range.
Late winter coverage in
indicates that the installation is occupied and
winter training is in evidence. Recent summer
photography in
indicates extensive training activities.
The installation has undergone no apparent
change since its initial coverage in-

Area D4 contains 13 barracks, six support,
and one administrative building. The area
appears to be associated with tank training
activities.
Area D5 contains three administrative and
21 support buildings. This is possibly an admin-
istrative support area for the main admin-
istrative facilities.
Area D6 contains 13 barracks, three sup-
port, and one administrative building. The
area appears to be associated with tank training
activities.
Area D7 contains eight administrative and
15 support buildings. This appears to be the
major administrative area of the installation.
Area D8 contains four barracks.
Area D9 contains five barracks, two sup-
port, and one administrative building. Because
of its proximity to the rifle range, this area

appears to be associated with infantry.
Area D10 contains four barracks and four
support buildings. The area's proximity to
rifle ranges indicates a probable association
with infantry.
Area DIl contains five barracks, four sup-
port, and one administrative building. The prox-
imity to rifle ranges indicates a probable
association with infantry.
Area D12 contains nine barracks and one
support building.
General Storage Area
Area E contains 15 general storage build-
ings.
Other Buildings
Area Hl contains five support buildings.
Area H2 contains 50 support buildings and
possibly one small wheeled-vehicle park. This
area comprises most of the southern part of
the installation.
Scattered at random throughout the instal-
lation are an additional 53 support buildings.
Equipment Storage/Maintenance Areas
Area J1 is a possible artillery park and
contains two 315- by 45-foot vehicle main-
tenance/storage buildings, two 225- by 30-foot
vehicle maintenance/storage buildings, and
three support buildings.
Area J2 contains six 180- by 30-foot ve-
hicle sheds, five support buildings, and one
administrative building.
Athletic Field
Adjacent to Area D8 there appears to be
an oval exercise track surrounding a soccer
field.
Small-Arms Firing Ranges
The installation has three small-arms firing
ranges. L1 is 300 by 75 feet, L2 is 300 by
75 feet, and L3 is 300 by 75 feet. All three
WS-7610 /64
NPIC/R-7481/64
ranges are the revetted, known-distance type
range common to level terrain areas. 1,2
appears to be the only range in current use,
but L1 appears to be usable.
There are three driver-training areas (Fig-
ure 5). Ml is for tracked vehicles and possible
functions in support of firing range Ni. M2
is a closed-circuit course for tracked vehi-
cles. M3 is a closed circuit, possible wheeled-
vehicle course associated with the artillery
range.
There are six tank/assault gun firing
ranges.
Ni is 3,800 feet long and has nine 2,200-foot
lanes, 11 targets, and eight identifiable support
buildings.
N2 is 4,100 feet long with three 2,800-foot
lanes and five targets.
N3 is 2,500 feet long with two 700-foot
lanes and one target.

lanes and two targets.
N6 is 3,200 feet long with two 2,200-foot
lanes and three targets.
Artillery Emplacement
Area Q is a probable field artillery ?m-
placement with fixed-battery line-firing posi-
tions.

Area
A probable bivouac, field training area is
located approximately 4 km west of the main
installation.
