Blagoveshchensk Barracks Mokhovaya Pad
is located 12 kilometers north of Blagoveshch-
ensk on the west side of the Blagoveshchensk-
Belogorsk rail line (Figure 1). A large tracked-
vehicle driver-training course is adjacent to the
installation on the west. The installation has
direct road access to the Mukhinka Training
Area Zeya River West
Blagoveshchensk Barracks Mokhovaya Pad
covers approximately 1,800 acres and contains
a total of 121-buildings: 3 administration build-
ings, 22 barracks, 9 general storage buildings,
78 general support buildings, 6 possible depend-
ents housing units, and 3 vehicle/equipment
maintenance and storage buildings (Figures 2
and 3).
This installation was covered on
photography of and on interpretable
photography fromi issions between
Comparative
analysis reveals that the training facilities have
been expanded considerably since 1958. Basic
changes include the construction of 2 small-arms
firing ranges and a large tracked- vehicle driver-
training course. The building count has remained
approximately the same. The enlargement of the
mechanized training facilities since 1958 may
indicate a functional change in the installation
from an infantry unit to a mechanized unit.
Probable primary and secondary roads con-
nect the installation to Blagoveshchensk.
Area Dl contains 6 barracks and 2 support
buildings.
Area D2 contains 3 barracks and 6 support
buildings.
Area D3 contains 5 barracks and 15 support
buildings.
Area D4 contains 4 barracks and 7 support
buildings.
Area D5 contains 3 administration buildings,
4 barracks, and 13 support buildings. This area
appears to be the administrative headquarters
for the installation.
General Storage Areas
Area El contains a storage building secured
by a single fence.
TOP SECRET
Area E2 contains a storage building secured
by a single fence with probable guardposts.
Other Buildings
Area Hl contains 7 storage buildings and 5
support buildings.
Area H2 contains 11 support buildings. This
area appears to have a possible underground
entrance.
Area H3 contains 4 support buildings and 6
possible dependents housing units.
Area H4 contains 2 support buildings.
Area H5 contains 2 support buildings. These
are probably control buildings for the driver-
training course.
Area H6 contains 3 support buildings.
Equipment Storage/Maintenance Area
Area J contains 3 vehicle maintenance build-
ings, each measuring 150 by 35 feet, 8 support
buildings, and a motor park, 900 by 600 feet.

Small-Arms Firing Ranges
Area L1 is a possible small-arms range
measuring 100 by 20 yards.
Area L2 is a small-arms range (measuring
120 by 60 yards) with 8 possible support
buildings. This is probably the main training
facility for small arms.

driver-training course. This is probably the
main driver-training course for tracked ve-
hicles.
Area M2 is a closed-circuit wheeled-ve-
