A training area is located at the northwest
edge of Tiraspol, north of Tiraspol Army Bar-
racks West
fand west of
the Tiraspol Airfield (Figure 1).
The training area covers approximately
1,400 acres and contains 8 storage buildings,
a revetted ammunition storage building, aprob-
able ammunition storage building, 9 support
buildings, 2 wheeled-vehicle driver-training
areas, 3 tank/assault-gun firing ranges, and an
P78TO4759
infantry training area (Figure 2).
The training area appears to be associated
with the Army Barracks West as indicated by
the direct road connection between the two
areas.
The area was covered on mis-
sions
Light to medium activity was observed during
this period, and the only significant change was
the addition of 4 storage buildings.
Aircraft Landing Strips
Tiraspol Airfield is located immediately
east of the installation.
General Storage Area
Area E contains 8 storage buildings and a
support buildin . Two of the storage buildings
were added
and 2 more were added
Ammunition Storage Areas
Area F1 is secured and contains aprobable
ammunition storage building.
Area F2 is secured and contains a small
revetted ammunition storage building and a
support building.
POL Storage Area
Tiraspol Petroleum Storage
located in the center of Tiraspol, con-
tains 5 medium POL storage tanks.
Five large and 6 small POL storage tanks
are located at 46-53N 029-38E.
