Cancellations of Lit.SSR - 06 Soviet Military Field post

Вильнюс/Vilnius 1961 

back side with the Soviet military cachet and the arrival postmark of Leningrad

Каунас/Kaunas 1969

Those triangular military cachets are just hard to miss! These are stampless Soviet Military Field post, both sent to Ленинград/Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg, Russia). The first one is sent in 1961 from the post office Вильнюс/Vilnius 18 which was located near the military base at that time, and the second one sent in 1969 from the post office Каунас/Kaunas 17 which was located inside the military base itself. You will hardly see any civilian correspondences out of Kaunas 17.
