1061st Logistics Center
Identification
Open-source correlation identifies this record as Russia’s 1061st Center for Material-Technical Support (1061st Logistics Center) of the Southern Military District, military unit 57229. ISW places a named 1061st Logistics Center site at 45.64097N, 38.93897E in Timashevsk, matching the supplied placemark, while independent OSINT research separately links unit 57229 to the Southern Military District’s 1061st center.

Disposition
Public records indicate a distributed logistics formation rather than a single depot. Verified elements under unit 57229 include a fuel-service storage site at Koisug/Bataysk (57229-3), a large storage/transshipment site in Tikhoretsk district/Tikhonkyi (57229-41), a site in Natukhaevskaya near Novorossiysk (57229-43), a site in Nikolskoye, Astrakhan Oblast (57229-44), and a site at Kotluban, Volgograd Oblast (57229-51).

Functions
The publicly confirmed role set is storage-centric and multi-category. A Rostov regional act defines 57229-3 as a storage site for the fuel service; a 2024 cassation ruling identifies 57229-27 as a warehouse for engineering armament and property; and the 57229-41 staffing record includes warehouse staff, a train assembler, and heavy-equipment operators, consistent with bulk storage and handling. A published accreditation list also shows a fuel-and-lubricants laboratory under v/ch 57229. ([base.garant.ru](https://base.garant.ru/19506432/?utm_source=openai))
Geographic relevance
The verified footprint runs across the Rostov approaches, central and eastern Krasnodar Krai, the Novorossiysk area, the lower Volga, and the Astrakhan/Caspian sector. Assessed from that distribution, the 1061st center functions as a district-level sustainment network aligned to multiple Southern Military District axes rather than a single local store; this geographic assessment is an inference from confirmed site locations, not a published Russian order of battle.

Confidence and gaps
Confidence is high that unit 57229 is the Southern Military District’s 1061st logistics center and that Timashevsk is one confirmed named node. Open sources do not publicly establish one undisputed headquarters for the entire formation beyond this networked structure, so this record is best treated as an aggregate logistics center with multiple subordinate depots and storage sites.
