In order to know exactly how, according to the regulations, you are supposed to address a military personnel, you need to understand the ranks. Ranks in the Russian Army and shoulder straps provide clarity in relationships and allow you to understand the chain of command. In the Russian Federation there is both a horizontal structure - military and naval ranks, and a vertical hierarchy - from the rank and file to the highest officers.

Rank and file

Private is the lowest military rank Russian army. Moreover, the soldiers received this title in 1946, before that they were addressed exclusively as fighters or Red Army soldiers.

If the service is carried out in a guards military unit or on a guards ship, then when addressing a private, it is worth adding the same word "guard". If you want to contact a military personnel who is in the reserve and has a diploma of higher legal or medical education, then you should contact - "Private Justice", or "private medical service". Accordingly, it is worth adding the appropriate words to someone who is in reserve or retired.

In a ship, the rank of private corresponds to sailor.

Only senior soldiers who perform the best military service are given the rank Corporal. Such soldiers can act as commanders during the latter's absence.

All additional words that were applicable for a private remain relevant for a corporal. Only in the Navy, this rank corresponds to Senior sailor.

The one who commands a squad or combat vehicle receives the rank Lance Sergeant. In some cases, this rank is assigned to the most disciplined corporals upon transfer to the reserve, if such a staff unit was not provided for during service. In the ship's composition it is "sergeant major of the second article"

Since November 1940, the Soviet army received a rank for junior command personnel - sergeant. It is awarded to cadets who have successfully completed the sergeant training program and graduated with honors.
A private can also receive the rank - Lance Sergeant, who has proven himself worthy to be awarded the next rank, or upon transfer to the reserve.

In the Navy, a sergeant of the ground forces corresponds to the rank foreman.

Next comes the Senior Sergeant, and in the Navy - chief petty officer.

After this rank, there is some overlap between land and sea forces. Because after senior sergeant, in the ranks of the Russian army appears Sergeant Major. This title came into use in 1935. Only the best military personnel who served excellently in sergeant positions for six months deserve it, or upon transfer to the reserve, the rank of sergeant major is awarded to senior sergeants certified with excellent results. On the ship it is - chief petty officer.

Next come warrant officers And midshipmen. This is a special category of military personnel, close to junior officers. Complete the rank and file, senior warrant officer and midshipman.

Junior officers

A number of junior officer ranks in the Russian Army begin with the rank Ensign. This title is awarded to final year students and graduates of higher military educational institutions. However, in the event of a shortage of officers, a graduate of a civilian university can also receive the rank of junior lieutenant.

Lieutenant Only a junior lieutenant can become a junior lieutenant who has served a certain amount of time and received a positive educational certificate. Further - senior lieutenant.

And he closes the group of junior officers - Captain. This title sounds the same for both ground and naval forces.

By the way, the new field uniform from Yudashkin obliged our military personnel to duplicate the insignia on the chest. There is an opinion that the “runaways” from the leadership do not see the ranks on our officers’ shoulders and this is done for their convenience.

Senior officers

Senior officers begin with rank Major. In the navy, this rank corresponds to Captain 3rd rank. The following Navy ranks will only increase the rank of captain, that is, the rank of land Lieutenant Colonel will correspond Captain 2nd rank, and the rank Colonel – Captain 1st rank.

Senior officers

And the highest officer corps completes the hierarchy of military ranks in the Russian army.

Major General or Rear Admiral(in the navy) - such a proud title is worn by military personnel who command a division - up to 10 thousand people.

Above the Major General is Lieutenant General. (The lieutenant general is higher than the major general because the lieutenant general has two stars on his shoulder straps and the major general has one).

Initially, in the Soviet army, it was more likely not a rank, but a position, because the Lieutenant General was an assistant to the general and took on part of his functions, in contrast to Colonel General, who can personally fill senior positions, both in the General Staff and in the Ministry of Defense. In addition, in the Russian armed forces, a Colonel General may be the deputy commander of a military district.

And finally, the most important serviceman who has the highest military rank in the Russian army is Army General. All previous links must obey him.

About military ranks in video format:

Well, new guy, have you figured it out now?)

Both on land and on water there are military ranks, some of them are similar, but still there is a difference.

So, on land, military ranks are in the following order:

On the water, that is, in the navy, ranks are structured like this:

Sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, petty officer of the first class, chief ship's officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral , admiral.

Private, in the navy this rank corresponds to a sailor, then corporal, in the navy - senior sailor; junior sergeant, in the navy, foreman of the second article; sergeant-sergeant major of the first article, senior sergeant-sergeant-sergeant; foreman - chief ship foreman; next come warrant officer, in the navy midshipman, senior warrant officers, senior midshipman. Officers: junior lieutenant - same in the navy; lieutenant - the same in the navy; senior lieutenant - the same in the navy; captain, in the navy - captain lieutenant; then follows the senior officers: major - in the navy, captain of the third rank; lieutenant colonel - in the navy, captain of the second rank; colonel - in the navy, captain of the first rank. Next comes the senior officers: major general - rear admiral in the navy; lieutenant general, vice in the navy -admiral; colonel general- admiral, and the final rank of army general. There were marshals in the USSR, but now, in my opinion, they have been abolished. Only two people had the highest rank of generallisimo: Suvorov and Stalin.

To begin with, I will say that in different countries very different ranks, it is also worth noting that the Navy and conventional ground forces also have different ranks, for example the Navy:

And now a few countries to compare ranks. The first will be military ranks of Russia



Military ranks of France



Military ranks of China



Military ranks of Germany



Military ranks of Turkey



The Army and Navy each have their own military ranks. Of course, they have a number of similarities, but they differ both in name and in the number of stars and stripes. One more difference that should be added is the guards regiments.





Private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, sergeant major, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

Military ranks should be separated for navy and land.

So, as for the ground forces, military ranks are arranged in exactly this order:

As for the distribution of ranks in order in the navy, it looks like this, from lowest to lowest:

As for the Russian Federation. Ranks are military and naval.

Warrant officers and midshipmen:

Junior officers:

Senior officers;

Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest military rank.

A specialty is added to military ranks, if available;

Who is studying at a military institution:

In the Russian Armed Forces, military ranks are divided into military and naval. To the military personnel guards units the prefix “guard” is added to the military rank...

Soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen, warrant officers and midshipmen...

Junior, middle, senior officers. Marshal of the Russian Federation...



In the Navy, in addition to naval military ranks, there may also be military military ranks, for example, in the Marine Corps, Naval Aviation, and Coastal Fleet Forces. Ship military ranks are expressed by a white or yellow stripe on a black shoulder strap (clearance) or black gaps on a white shoulder strap, on shoulder straps with military military ranks - the gaps will be red or blue. By the way, in the Marine Corps the ship ranks are sailor and senior sailor, then military ranks...

There are military ranks and ranks for those who serve in the navy, the ranks in order in the Russian army are as follows:

Rank and file:

Military ranks: private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, sergeant major.

Ship ranks: sailor, senior sailor, 2nd class petty officer, 1st class petty officer, chief petty officer, chief ship sergeant major.

Warrant officers and midshipmen:

Military ranks: warrant officer, senior warrant officer

Ship ranks: midshipman, senior midshipman

Officers:

Junior officers:

Military ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain;

Ship ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;

Ship ranks: captain 3rd rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 1st rank.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general; Ship ranks: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral.

And of course, Marshal of the Russian Federation.

In the Army and Navy there are military ranks that are similar, but it seems to me that the ranks in the Navy are still more difficult to remember and pronounce. Military ranks on land.



Military ranks in the navy.



It should be noted that in addition to rank in the Army and Navy, position plays a big role. It happens that an officer with a higher rank is subordinate to an officer with a lower rank.

Military ranks are as follows, starting from small:

On land: private, corporal, junior sergeant, senior sergeant, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

In the navy: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, foreman of the first class, chief ship's officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant captain, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral.

In the old days there was also the title of Marshal, but it was abolished.

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in the bodies government controlled and law and order, there is a specially created system of military ranks and class ranks, ensuring the order of subordination and subordination in intrastructural relationships. Military ranks in the army and navy characterize the level of professional training, official position and degree of responsibility of a serviceman. Class rank determines the status of a government official, employee of the justice system, qualifies their competence, position and place on the career ladder. With the help of military ranks and ranks, you can get an idea of ​​the existing service hierarchy, who in the civil service is responsible for what and what powers are vested in them.

Military ranks for military personnel and class ranks

The army at all times has been a complex social mechanism, which is necessarily based on strict discipline, subordination and subordination. A person located inside this complex structure must, in accordance with his abilities, level of professional knowledge and training, occupy the place allocated to him. This situation has always existed, from ancient times and the Middle Ages to modern times. The modern armed forces of the Russian Federation are a striking example of how important the system of military ranks is for managing a huge mechanism.

It should be noted that with military ranks a certain order continues to be preserved, inherited by the Russian armed forces over the time of Peter I. As in the old days, this order implies the presence of a horizontal and vertical structure that determines the social position of a military man, his professional affiliation and competence . The order is as follows:

• The horizontal structure is military and naval ranks, which are assigned to military personnel depending on their length of service and position;
• Vertical structure - demonstrating a service hierarchy, i.e. who reports to whom in order of correspondence.

It is important to note that this principle applies to other government departments, organizations and services, ensuring the necessary controllability of the civil service system and the efficiency of its work. The instrument for implementing the principle of subordination in this case is military ranks and shoulder straps. Titles, classes and ranks are rather internal, psychological factors that determine the personal status of a soldier and official in military and civil service. Shoulder straps and other insignia allow you to approve this status at the social and everyday level, taking into account the existing hierarchy.

Military service presupposes a certain amount of official and power powers and outlines a range of rights and responsibilities. At each stage of a military career, a person in uniform occupies a specific post or position, which is distributed in conditions of strict subordination. For the armed forces, military ranks and positions are decisive in the chain of command. For civilian structures, the determining factor of subordination is the position held. Title, class or rank means the level of qualification of a civil service employee and is part of the information about the professional affiliation of the official and his experience.

Civilian public services, paramilitary institutions and law enforcement organizations in Russia are guided by a system of specialized knowledge. A system of special ranks has been introduced in the prosecutor's office and in the investigative bodies that are part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the Federal Customs Service, in the Federal Migration Service and in the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The hierarchical table of ranks, which provides for the presence of special titles, ranks and classes, determines the employee’s place in the system, the scope of his administrative powers and the level of professionalism.

In addition to military ranks assigned in order to employees of paramilitary departments, in some civilian departments there is a class rank, which is determined by the work experience, professional skills and competence of the official. This mechanism simplifies the ranking of officials, identifying the most worthy personnel. Class rank also determines the size of civil servants’ salaries, differentiates the system of benefits, provision of material benefits and remuneration.

What are military ranks for military personnel?

The main difference between military ranks and the ranks and classes that exist in the hierarchy of the civil public service is the determination of subordination. Each person in military service is assigned a military rank. This could be a conscript soldier or sailor, a civilian serving on a contract basis, or command staff.

In the army and navy, each serviceman has certain powers, responsibilities and rights, the scope of which is largely determined by military rank. Shoulder straps and other insignia are carte blanche for a military man, indicating his powers, rights and responsibilities. The assignment of military ranks occurs from the moment a person’s social status changes and is associated with conscription for compulsory military service. The first military ranks - soldier or sailor - are assigned to a person from the moment he takes the military oath. Subsequent promotions are determined by length of service and level of professional training. For privates and sailors career ladder limited by service life. For officers, subsequent promotions are related to length of service, service compliance, experience and professional skills.

For persons who have chosen a military career and are studying at higher military educational institutions, they are awarded the rank of cadet.

In accordance with the horizontal structure, the existing military ranks in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation clearly follow an ascending line. The military hierarchy presupposes the following subordination, from a lower rank to the highest officer rank, from privates to the officer class. The main contingent of any armed forces (Russia is no exception) is the rank and file and sailors who hold non-officer ranks. In this regard, the picture looks like this:

• for the army it is a private, for the navy it is a sailor;
• non-commissioned officers for the army, senior officers for the navy;
• warrant officers for the army; for the navy this rank corresponds to midshipman.

All of the listed non-officer military ranks have their own insignia, which indicate a higher level, determined by length of service and position held. Promotion in rank is carried out by Order of the immediate superior in accordance with the Regulations on military service. The same trend in rank and distinction continues among officer ranks, but this structure is more complex and hierarchical.

The assignment of the very first or next rank is within the competence of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - the President of the Russian Federation. You can receive another military rank based on length of service. In this case, the personal and professional qualities of the serviceman are taken into account. In addition, the next rank is assigned to an officer only if the corresponding position is available. This may be the same unit or another military unit or ship where there is a vacant position.

Since 2016, amendments to the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service” and the Law “On the Status of Military Personnel” come into force, which provide for re-certification for compliance with the new position before assigning the next military rank. Similar measures are being introduced in relation to officials and civil servants of other departments and structures.

Military officer ranks depend on the branch of service, however, in the table of ranks for all Russian armed forces, for the army and navy, a single trend for promotion remains.

The rank of lieutenants in the army corresponds to the ranks of lieutenants in the navy. Starting with the rank of captain, the division in the system of military ranks begins:

• for the army, captain, for the navy, captain-lieutenant;
• major in the army, captain 3rd rank in the navy;
• a lieutenant colonel in the army corresponds to the rank of captain 2nd rank;
• An army colonel is a captain of 1st rank in the navy.

In order for a captain to become a major, he must serve for four years with a creditable record. A major can only become a lieutenant colonel after four years, who only after five years of impeccable service has a chance to wear the shoulder straps and insignia of a colonel.

The ranks of generals in the army correspond to the ranks of admiral in the navy. So an army major general is equal in rank to a rear admiral. An army lieutenant general has a similar position in the navy - vice admiral. Colonel General and Army General correspond to the highest naval ranks, admiral and admiral of the Fleet.

To achieve high regalia and receive the highest military rank - Marshal of the Russian Federation, you need to go through the entire career ladder from beginning to end. This title is awarded only for great services to the Motherland. Persons who are applicants for promotion to the highest officer rank must not only have the required length of service, but also meet a non-service qualification. The only one in new history The Marshal of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was and remains Igor Dmitrievich Sergeev - Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation in 1997-2001.

Procedure for deprivation of military rank

The assignment of a military rank is an integral procedure that is based on clearly established regulations and procedures. Traditionally, thousands of soldiers, sailors and officers receive new ranks in Russia every year. Persons undergoing military service become soldiers, corporals and sergeants. After a certain time, sailors become foremen. Every year, graduates of higher military educational institutions wear lieutenant shoulder straps. Senior officers receive promotions based on length of service and in recognition of services to the army and navy.

Like assignment, deprivation of military rank, deprivation of a special rank is also regulated by law. A military man, like a civilian, has his rights and obligations and bears the same degree of responsibility before the law. For committed unlawful acts, which fall under the articles of the Criminal Code, military personnel are brought to trial. Yes, you can only lose your military rank in the army and navy by a court decision!

This measure of influence is an additional, psychological factor to the main punishment. Deprivation of military ranks, achievements and merits in the military field can be used in exceptional cases when it comes to the commission of grave and especially grave crimes by a person liable for military service. The procedure for depriving a special title, class rank or honorary awards looks similar.

Finally

It should be noted that the system of military ranks, ranks, ranks and classes used in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in other paramilitary departments and structures state power allows you to maintain the order of management and organization of the most complex government mechanisms. Subordination, clear subordination and service hierarchy are the three pillars on which modern army, navy and government structures rest.

As in any structure, there is a certain hierarchy in the Russian army. In this case, the “pyramid” represents military positions and their corresponding army ranks. At the same time, as distinctive signs on the uniform of military personnel, shoulder straps. Today we'll talk about what military ranks are present in the Russian army, what are their main differences, how the stars on the shoulder straps are located and how many years to serve before becoming a colonel.

Types, classification of ranks and types shoulder strap

Let's start by understanding what types of titles exist in general. After all, every person has seen shoulder straps not only on soldiers' and sailors' uniforms, but also on the shoulders of rescue workers, police officers and state security officials. In fact, everything is simple and there are only two types of ranks in Russia: naval and military.

It won’t be difficult to guess that the first ones belong to military personnel Navy(this includes coast guard units, armed forces operating on and under the surface of the water, as well as all naval military units), and military ranks apply to all other types of law enforcement agencies.

As for the classification of ranks in the Russian army, there are officer and non-officer ranks (no jokes, this is really true, albeit primitive). At the same time, officers, in turn, are divided into junior, senior and senior officers. Naturally, the titles are distributed in exactly the same order.

With shoulder straps everything is somewhat more complicated, since they appearance differs according to a whole list of criteria:

• the color of the shoulder strap (depending on the type of troops, as well as on what uniform they are intended for - everyday, field or ceremonial);
• color of stripes (depending on the type of troops);
• rank (each classification of ranks has a specific order of stripes, stars or stripes).

However, in order to quickly understand the army “constellations”, let’s move on to the direct listing of ranks in ascending order, indicating the corresponding position and insignia.

Non-officer ranks

Next rank in order lieutenant(similar). After graduating from military universities, young lieutenants are assigned to units where they undergo a kind of exam. Its essence is that a newly minted officer is appointed to a position that requires a much higher rank, for example, head of the food service. If lieutenant successfully passes the test, then in the coming years his rank will quickly rise to the required one. Also, the owner of 2 stars in a horizontal row has every reason to be a platoon commander (in rare cases, being a deputy company commander).

Senior Lieutenant(similar to sailors). This rank quickly comes to those lieutenants who do their job best. Starleys are appointed to the position of deputy company commander to perform any functions. Shoulder straps The senior lieutenant is decorated with 3 stars, forming a triangle between them.

Captain (captain-lieutenant). This officer has every right to be appointed as a battalion commander or as a deputy battalion commander. The rank is intermediate between junior and senior officers. The captain's shoulder straps have 4 stars (2 are located horizontally, the remaining 2 are in the vertical row above).

Senior officers

Shoulder straps military personnel of this category are decorated with 2 central longitudinal stripes.

Major (captain third rank). This title precisely implies the position of head of any service, therefore the person in charge lieutenant can progress through his career path relatively quickly. Also major may be deputy battalion commander. On the shoulders of such an officer are located shoulder straps with one large (20 mm) star in the middle.

Lieutenant colonel (captain of the second rank). Often this rank limits the career of a military man. The reason for this is the following - with the rank of lieutenant colonel there may be one of several deputy regiment commanders. Accordingly, advancement in rank is possible only for one single position, which is no longer vacated as often as those listed above. Lieutenant colonel wears 2 large stars on his shoulder straps, similar to those of a lieutenant.

Colonel (captain first rank). As a rule, an officer of this rank is the commander of a military unit (he also heads the regiment headquarters). Besides, Colonel may hold the position of deputy at division headquarters. On the shoulder straps of such a serviceman there are 3 large stars arranged in a triangle.

Senior officers

Shoulder straps This category of military personnel are made with a fabric relief and a strip along the perimeter of the entire shoulder strap (with the exception of one transverse part). Stars are used only in the embroidered version.

Major General (rear admiral). This title implies that its holder is in one of two positions: commander division, or deputy corps commander. The officer's shoulder straps have one 22mm star in the middle.

Lieutenant General (vice admiral). Such an officer has the right to command an entire military district. A serviceman can also be appointed deputy army commander. The distinctive sign of a lieutenant general is 2 large stars arranged in a vertical row.

Colonel General (admiral). A serviceman of this rank is appointed commander-in-chief of any branch or type of troops, as well as commander of the army. On the officer's shoulder straps there are 3 large stars arranged vertically.

Army General (fleet admiral). The highest military rank in the hierarchy of the Russian army. A serviceman can hold the post of commander of a military branch, deputy minister of defense (or even be one), and also head the general staff. Shoulder straps The army general is decorated with one 40-mm embroidered star.

There is also the honorary title of Marshal of the Russian Federation (intended for wartime for particularly distinguished senior officers).

The top of the military hierarchy in Russia is a person who does not have a military rank as such, this is the president of the country. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief is a position, but all holders of the highest military ranks are subordinate to him.

This is the gradation of ranks presented in the Russian army today.

They do not emit a warlike roar, they do not sparkle with a polished surface, they are not decorated with embossed coats of arms and plumes, and quite often they are generally hidden under jackets. However, today, without this armor, unsightly in appearance, it is simply unthinkable to send soldiers into battle or ensure the safety of VIPs. Body armor is clothing that prevents bullets from penetrating the body and, therefore, protects a person from shots. It is made from materials that dissipate

In modern combat conditions, a soldier is exposed to various risks, due to which he may lose the opportunity to continue combat work, be injured or die. As a result, a fighter needs protective equipment that can reduce or completely eliminate existing risks. Over the decades, various protective equipment have been created to improve the safety of soldiers. In recent years, proposals have also appeared to create full-fledged protective systems. In our country this is the direction

Since May 23, 1994, in connection with the decree of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation, wearing insignia left over from the Soviet army was considered illegal. From that moment on, Russia began to form its own system of national symbols in relation to insignia in the RF Armed Forces. History of the appearance of insignia Starting from the 16th-17th centuries, in the Streltsy troops, the commander differed from the ordinary in the cut of his uniform, a different type of weapon and a cane along which

Shoulder straps and ranks in the Russian army were created in order to clearly delineate responsibilities between military personnel. The higher the status, the more responsibility is assigned to the soldier to whom the rank is assigned. Shoulder straps play an identifying role, that is, they create a visual image of a military man, namely what position he holds, as well as his military rank. Shoulder straps and ranks in the army play a very important role important role, and different troops have different external

Each branch and type of troops has its own attributes. In addition to the battle flag and chevrons, the concept of distinctive signs includes shoulder straps. It is by this accessory that one can determine not only the rank of a serviceman, but also his affiliation with one or another army. However, it is very difficult for an unprepared person to do this. Today we will try to understand the colors and letter designations on the shoulder straps of military personnel and cadets of the Russian army, as well as law enforcement agencies. Shoulder straps

Military rank in the modern army is a complex hierarchical relationship between military personnel, enshrined in law and military regulations. A certain rank must be assigned to absolutely any military serviceman, regardless of his education, type of activity or length of service. Even a young man who was drafted into the ranks of the RF Armed Forces is listed as a private. This gradation makes it possible to distribute the rights and responsibilities of the entire contingent to ensure controllability in the case of real

The modern Russian army has a complex hierarchical structure based on the subordination of lower levels to higher ones. Unconditional submission within the limits of the military regulations is defined by law, and violation of the order is punishable by a military court. In order to effectively carry out management activities, the hierarchical system is implemented by assigning each military personnel a certain military rank. Already at the very beginning of his conscription service, the young man receives the rank of private. Highest rank except the Supreme

In the course of their activities, military personnel have the opportunity to demonstrate heroism, professional knowledge, valor, and courage. The experience and skills of those who have given a huge part of their lives to military service are especially valued. As a sign of gratitude and respect, various medals are established by the Ministry of Defense or public organizations. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, upon the recommendation of the unit command, a current or former serviceman may receive a medal as a veteran of the Russian Armed Forces as a reward.

In 2002, the Union of Paratroopers association was born in Russia. It unites not only military personnel of the Airborne Forces, it is, most likely, the camaraderie and brotherhood of those who valiantly defended the interests of the Motherland on its territory and abroad. We can say that veterans of the elite airborne forces, marines, and special forces form the backbone of the presented organization. They consider the purpose of their activities to be assistance in protecting the rights of military personnel, especially those who were wounded during

Many people ignorant of military affairs may wonder what kind of troops the Russian army has. The answer here is very simple: Russian units include elite troops, ground units, navy, aviation. Each part performs its own function. For large units, navy, air force, ground forces, there are support departments such as air defense, artillery. Many parts are intertwined. TO modern look regiments began to arrive after the collapse of the Russian Empire.

The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by certain features. They are divided by color and purpose. Military uniforms can be intended for daily use, for field activities and for festive occasions. All these types of clothing are also divided into summer and winter options. The Ministry of Defense has carefully studied this issue, detailing orders on this aspect of the life of military personnel. The matter concerned

Relationships in the army must be strictly regulated. This requirement arises from at least two considerations. The first is that the personnel is a quasi-group, organized according to some common characteristics. Psychologists say that if such a group is left to its own devices, conflicts in relationships will soon arise. The second statement is more significant. The army must not only be numerous, but also functional and controllable.

For any state, the armed forces are the guarantor of its security and inviolability of territorial borders. In Russia, the army organizes its activities on the basis of certain regulatory documents, these are Federal laws, Government Decrees, Presidential Decrees, as well as local resolutions of executive authorities in the regions. Thanks to a unified legal system, it is possible to effectively manage a contingent of thousands, distributing common tasks and quickly resolving security issues.

As long as the soldier has not retired to the reserve and remains on the list of unit personnel, he is guided by the general military regulations. Certain standards have also been developed for a serviceman in the event of his temporary stay outside the unit. But, as we know, the lack of control necessarily leads to violation of all rules, and the volume of these violations grows like an avalanche. Therefore, in any garrison, as a mandatory event, the organization of patrols is provided, which is carried out in places

Many articles, even from legally savvy specialists, are devoted to various ways to avoid military service. It is gratifying that the proportion of conscripts who are ready to cross the line of the law is quite small. Most guys not only realize the need to fulfill their civic duty, but also consider it their duty to spend a year in the army as a real soldier, who would be an excellent student in combat training, selflessly serve the Motherland, be in good standing with the officers and become the pride of his

To achieve maximum efficiency in the military activities of the army, it is necessary to develop a set of rules that would cover all areas, allowing each soldier to determine his rights and powers in each specific situation. This understanding was reached even under Peter I; it is not for nothing that he is considered the founder of the introduction of military regulations. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that the history of military regulations in tsarist Russia goes back to the 16th century, when, by order of Ivan the Terrible, the Boyar verdict was adopted

Many conscripts want to go through the school of life, realizing that this is simply necessary. Recently, the popularity of military craft has increased significantly. Reforms in the army have significantly affected the comfort of serving. Despite this, almost all parts honor the customs and traditions inherited from older generations. This is especially true when completing a service. The end of any school is associated with certain experiences, and the end of the school of life is the moment to which a guy

For military service at all times, there was a certain set of laws aimed at increasing efficiency in combat operations, guard duty, as well as order in interpersonal relationships. This set of laws is combined into a charter, which is the main legislative document for a soldier. But since all issues of military service cannot be concentrated in a common document, there is a division of regulations by type. In particular, in the modern army there are two of them:

The army, to one degree or another, affects every citizen, so, willy-nilly, people are aware of it. But the army is too general and abstract a concept, including tanks and foot wraps, nuclear weapons and stars on shoulder straps, and much more. In order to organize troops by type, establish a certain hierarchy and divide the territory of the state into controlled areas, there is a special term - the organizational structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. With his help we are today

There can be no regimes in matters of state security. Sovereignty and integrity must remain top level every minute all year round. To ensure reliable protection, the state is obliged to maintain a powerful army, ready at any moment to repel an attack from an external enemy. Military activity is a complex process that does not stop day or night. Even when the personnel seem to be resting, there are duty officers, guards, patrol officers,

The army is perhaps the largest institution that is considered to be regularly functioning. If we add to the contingent currently in service all those liable for military service, including those in the reserves, then more than half of all Russian citizens will be covered. Naturally, the armed forces will reach such numbers only in as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even with the existing military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, it is necessary to centrally

In Russian legislation, a number of documents establish the need to provide military personnel. In general, this concept is quite flexible, since it is necessary to take into account all the rights of a citizen serving in military service in order to list all the components of allowance. Therefore, provision is divided into several categories: monetary allowance, clothing provision, medical care, food housing provision. For each category

In 2014, the Russian army soldier’s combat equipment was replenished with a new accessory. An item with a complex foreign name, a travel bag, entered the army standard along with new equipment. From the handbag to the travel bag Travel bag translated from French means necessary. This is what in the West they call a small travel case that has several compartments for storing toiletries. The thing is very convenient and necessary, especially in hiking conditions. Story

Considering all the stages of the creation of the Russian armed forces, it is necessary to dive deeply into history, and although during the time of the principalities there is no talk of the Russian empire, and even less of a regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the 13th century, Rus' was represented by separate principalities. Although their military squads were armed with swords, axes, spears, sabers and bows, they could not serve as reliable protection against outside attacks. United Army

In June 2017, funds mass media Information has been received about replacing the old red star emblem of the Russian Armed Forces with a new red-blue-white star. The news alarmed many public figures, prompting them to react violently to it. The new symbol was released by a subordinate design bureau, which named it the Russian Army. According to the creators, the new star will enhance the image of the Russian army and give it more masculinity. The origins of the symbol of the Russian army

The Electrically Heated Ratnik-Arctic uniform, commissioned by the FSB Border Research Center, has been adopted by the FSB Border Service, which guards borders in the Arctic. The development of the form was carried out by NPC Voenform-design LLC. Specifications The uniforms were prepared for production by June 2013, and in 2015, Ratnik-Arktika was first received by military personnel at the northernmost Russian border post, Nagurskoye, located on Earth

Military clothing is the key to the high combat effectiveness of military forces. In Russia, the military uniform meets all the necessary requirements; it is comfortable, reliable and performs its main functions. A new military uniform in our country was released in 2015. Now every soldier of the military forces is equipped with it. Along with the new clothes, new rules for wearing them were issued, which must be followed by a soldier of any rank. Military uniforms are divided into three main types. Dress uniforms are used.

Military uniforms - field, everyday and ceremonial uniforms - are always regulated by the relevant decrees of the Ministry of Defense. However, there are special forces formations in the law enforcement agencies of ministries and departments not related to the Russian Armed Forces, which perform specific tasks, for which they use a very wide range of military and universal uniforms. Special forces uniforms Classification of special forces units Existing units

Traditional disclaimer. This article in no way claims to be complete or the ultimate truth. The topic of Russian equipment in the nineties is huge and complex, and my modest work is just a superficial educational program, an introduction to the topic. The USSR approached its collapse with very primitive equipment, which looked poor even against the backdrop of the then simple equipment of the NATO armies. However, in the nineties, despite the severe economic crisis and lack of money, progress in the field of military equipment,

Recruits who are about to serve in the army and navy receive sets of new-style military uniforms. The photo shows the everyday uniform for the ground forces, navy and aerospace forces of the combined Air Force and Aerospace Defense Forces, as well as the Airborne Forces. The Ministry of Defense has determined new order issuing military uniforms to conscripts before being sent to military units. 1. Instead of VKPO, an all-season set of field uniforms

The unloading vest, of course, is far from the only type of combat equipment, but today the situation has developed that a fighter, when purchasing equipment, chooses either a combat breastplate or a unloading vest. Apart from Russia, where the RZh unloading vest is part of the standard equipment of an infantryman, vests are used in many armies around the world. Turkish mountain riflemen, gendarmerie and rangers are working against the Kurds to unload the load. Having a large selection of different
