an area approximately 18 by 5 nm (see attached map.) Principal. features
are two firing lines (points 1 and 2 on the.attached map), a large head-
quarters and housing area (point 3), an operational base (point 4), a close-
range impact area (point 5), a possible middle-range impact area (point 6)
and a possible long-range impact area (point 7).
The firing lines (points 1 and 2) show heavy track activity probably
made by tanks or self-propelled guns. The firing line at point .1 has
tactical trenches, including an H-shaped trench system, adjacent to it in
a down-range direction. The firing line at point 2 has moving target slides
in the close-range impact area. There are possible fragmentary grid
patterns showing through the snow in both the close-range and possible
middle-range impact areas. A circular road pattern is visible in the pos-
sible long-range impact area. The distances from firing lines to the
impact areas vary from 1 to 18 nm.
