This report is one in a series on Soviet Ground Force and Logistic
installations being prepared for a DIA/CIA Panel. The series is being
coordinated, published and disseminated by NPIC. The photographic
analysis is being performed by the NPIC Photographic Analysis Group,

Center 1Plc (DIA). The photographic analysis for this particular re-
port was performed by the Production Center 1Plc.
In the interest of uniformity, the titles and letter designators for
the facilities observed at these installations are identical with those
appearing in the project requirement. When a specific facility is not
observed both its title and letter designator are omitted in the report.
Titles and letter designators for the various facilities are as
follows: (A) railroad service, (B) road service, (C) landing strips,
(D) administrative and troop housing areas, (ti) storage areas, (F) am-
munition storage areas, (G) POL storage areas, (II) other buildings and

Lvov Ammunition Storage Depot Northwest
PUG covering approximately 475 acres is lo-
cated about 7 kilometers (km) northwest of the
center of Lvov (Figure 1), adjacent to the Lvov-
Nesterov rail line. The installation includes
(Figures 2 and 3) a large, double-secured stor-
age area with approximately 41 explosives stor-
age buildings and a support area with three
barracks, two administration buildings, three
storage buildings, and five support buildings.
A rail spur from the Lvov-Nesterov rail
line serves the storage area along the southern
half. Four storage buildings are located along
this rail spur. A majority of the storage build-
ings, approximately 31, are revetted with earth
walls on at least one side and located in heavy
woods. No definite pattern or uniformity appears
in the placement of these buildings. Roads
within the area are poor, apparently dirt, and
running at random through the woods. Good
all-weather roads connect the installation with
the city of Lvov.
Approximately 15 new buildings have been
added in the storage area

The support area may contain additional build-
ings; however, the scale and quality of the
photography preclude detailed interpretation
of the heavily wooded area in the north section.
This installation probably serves the nu-
merous military installations and two training
areas within the Lvov area.
The installation was covered by

Railroad Service
Two spurs from the main line run to two,
140- by 40-foot and 210- by 50-foot, track-
side docks. Four buildings are along the tracks.
Road Service
Good roads connect the area with the city
of Lvov.
Aircraft Landing Strip
Lvov Airfield is 8 km south.
Administrative and Troop Housing Area
Area D contains three multistory barracks,
two multistory administration buildings, three
storage buildings, and seven support buildings.
There are probably more buildings in the
woods, but scale and quality of the photography
preclude further interpretation.
Ammunition Storage Area
Area F contains 41 explosives storage build-
ings, seventeen 100- by 35 feet, thirteen 130-
by 40 feet and eleven 200- by 40 feet. Most of
the buildings are revetted. The area is located
in heavy woods.
