INCREASE IN HEAVY LIFT CAPABILITY
VOLKA ARMY BARRACKS AL 1,
NOVOGRAD-VOLYNSKIY ARMY BARRACKS AL 2, USSR
1. (S/D) SIGNIFICANCE: THE SOVIETS ARE INCREASING THEIR HEAVY
LIFT CAPABILITY AT TWO INSTALLATIONS IN THE WESTERN MILITARY
DISTRICTS (MD). ONE INSTALLATION IS AT VOLKA IN THE
BELORUSSIAN MD AND THE OTHER IS AT NOVOGRAD-VOLYNSKIY IN THE
CARPATHIAN MD. THIS EXPANSION GIVES BOTH UNITS THE CAPABILITY
TO LIFT THE NEW SOVIET-REORGANIZED TANK DIVISION IN A SINGLE
LIFT.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CHMZAP-5247 LOWBOY
SEMITRAILERS (60-TON TRAILERS) AND 157 MAZ-537 TRUCK TRACTORS
(PRIME MOVERS) ARE AT VOLKA ARMY BARRACKS AL 1 (GRAPHIC 1 OF
2), WHICH HOUSES THE 95TH HEAVY LIFT REGIMENT (REGT).
ADDITIONAL PRIME MOVERS ARE NOT OBSERVED, BUT ARE PROBABLY
HOUSED IN AVAILABLE VEHICLE STORAGE SHEDS. THIS UNIT HAD THREE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN 60-TON TRAILERS IN AUGUST 1978, 470 IN
NOVEMBER 1980, AND 486 IN MAY 1981.
(S/D) APPROXIMATELY 550 CHMZAP-5247 60-TON TRAILERS AND 80
MAZ-537 PRIME MOVERS ARE AT NOVOGRAD-VOLYNSKIY ARMY BARRACKS AL
2 (GRAPHIC 2 OF 2), WHICH HOUSES THE UNIDENTIFIED HEAVY LIFT
REGT FOR THE CARPATHIAN MILITARY DISTRICT. ADDITIONAL PRIME
MOVERS ARE NOT OBSERVED, BUT COULD BE HOUSED IN AVAILABLE
VEHICLE STORAGE SHEDS. THERE WERE FOUR HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-EIGHT 60-TON TRAILERS PRESENT IN JANUARY 1981.
(S/D) ALTHOUGH THE TABLE OF ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT (TO&E)
OF HEAVY LIFT REGT VARIES FROM UNIT TO UNIT, INVENTORIES HAVE
NORMALLY CONTAINED AT LEAST 360 PRIME MOVERS WITH 60-TON
TRAILERS. THE NEW SOVIET TANK DIVISION, IF BMP ARMORED
PERSONNEL CARRIER (APC)-AUGMENTED, WOULD REQUIRE THE ADDITION
OF APPROXIMATELY 100 HEAVY LIFT TRANSPORTERS OVER THE STANDARD
TO&E OF A HEAVY LIFT REGT.
