Armed Forces of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR Armed Forces)- military organization of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was intended to protect the Soviet people, freedom and independence Soviet Union.

Part USSR Armed Forces included: central authorities military command, Strategic Missile Forces, Ground Forces, Air Force, Air Defense Forces, Navy, Logistics of the Armed Forces, as well as Civil Defense Troops, Internal Troops and Border Troops.

By the mid-1980s, the armed forces of the USSR were the largest in the world in terms of numbers.

Story

After graduation Civil War The demobilization of the Red Army was carried out and by the end of 1923 only about half a million people remained in it.

At the end of 1924, the Revolutionary Military Council adopted a 5-year plan for military development, approved by the III Congress of Soviets of the USSR six months later. It was decided to retain the personnel core of the army and, at the lowest cost, to train as many as possible in military affairs. more people. As a result, over ten years, 3/4 of all divisions became territorial - recruits were in them at training camps for two to three months a year for five years (see the article territorial police structure).

But in 1934 - 1935, military policy changed and 3/4 of all divisions became personnel. In the Ground Forces in 1939, compared to 1930, the number of artillery increased 7 times, including anti-tank and tank artillery - 70 times. Tank forces and the Air Force developed. The number of tanks from 1934 to 1939 increased 2.5 times; in 1939, compared to 1930, the total number of aircraft increased 6.5 times. The construction of surface ships of various classes, submarines, and naval aviation aircraft began. In 1931, airborne troops appeared, which until 1946 were part of the Air Force.

On September 22, 1935, personal military ranks were introduced, and on May 7, 1940, general and admiral ranks were introduced. The command staff suffered heavy losses in 1937 - 1938 as a result of the Great Terror.

On September 1, 1939, the USSR Law “On Universal Military Duty” was adopted, according to which all men fit for health were required to serve in the army for three years, in the navy for five years (according to the previous law of 1925, “disenfranchised” were deprived of voting rights “ non-labor elements" - did not serve in the army, but were enlisted in the rear militia) By this time Armed Forces of the USSR were completely staffed, and their number increased to 2 million people.

Instead of separate tank and armored brigades, which had been the main formations of armored forces since 1939, the formation of tank and mechanized divisions began. Airborne corps began to be formed in the airborne troops, and in the Air Force they began to switch to a divisional organization in 1940.

During the three years of the Great Patriotic War, the proportion of communists in Armed Forces doubled and by the end of 1944 amounted to 23 percent in the army and 31.5 percent in the navy. At the end of 1944 in Armed Forces There were 3,030,758 communists, accounting for 52.6 percent of the total party strength. During the year, the network of primary party organizations expanded significantly: if on January 1, 1944 there were 67,089 of them in the army and navy, then on January 1, 1945 there were already 78,640

Towards the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1945 Armed Forces of the USSR numbered more than 11 million people, after demobilization - about three million. Then their numbers increased again. But during the Khrushchev Thaw, the USSR began to reduce the number of its Armed Forces: in 1955 - by 640 thousand people, by June 1956 - by 1,200 thousand people.

During the Cold War from 1955 Armed Forces of the USSR played a leading role in the military Warsaw Pact Organization (WTO). Beginning in the 1950s, missile weapons were introduced into the armed forces at an accelerated pace; in 1959, the Strategic Missile Forces were created. At the same time, the number of tanks increased. In terms of the number of tanks, the USSR came out on top in the world, by the 1980s in Soviet armed forces there were more tanks than all other countries combined. A large ocean-going navy was created. The most important direction in the development of the country's economy was the build-up of military potential and the arms race. This consumed a significant portion of the national income.

In the period after the Great Patriotic War, the USSR Ministry of Defense was systematically assigned the task of providing civilian ministries labor force by forming military formations, units, and military construction detachments for them, which were used as construction workers. The number of these formations increased from year to year.

In 1987 - 1991, during Perestroika, a policy of “defensive sufficiency” was proclaimed and in December 1988 unilateral measures to reduce Soviet armed forces. Their total number was reduced by 500 thousand people (12%). Soviet military contingents in Central Europe were unilaterally reduced by 50 thousand people, six tank divisions(about two thousand tanks) were withdrawn from the GDR, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and disbanded. In the European part of the USSR, the number of tanks was reduced by 10 thousand, artillery systems - by 8.5 thousand, combat aircraft - by 820. 75% of Soviet troops were withdrawn from Mongolia, and the number of troops by Far East(opposing the PRC) was reduced by 120 thousand people.

Military duty

The universal military obligation established by Soviet legislation stemmed from the constitutional provision determining that the defense of the socialist Fatherland is the sacred duty of every citizen of the USSR, and military service in the ranks USSR Armed Forces- an honorable duty of Soviet citizens (Articles 62 and 63 of the USSR Constitution). Legislation on universal conscription went through several stages in its development. Reflecting socio-political changes in the life of society and the needs of strengthening the country's defense, it developed from volunteerism to compulsory military service of workers and from it to universal military service.

Universal conscription was characterized by the following main features:

  • it applied only to Soviet citizens;
  • was universal: all male citizens of the USSR were subject to conscription; Only persons serving a criminal sentence and persons against whom an investigation was underway or a criminal case was being considered by the court were not drafted;
  • was personal and equal for everyone: replacing a conscript with another person was not allowed: for evading conscription or performing military service duties, the perpetrators were held criminally liable;
  • had time restrictions: the law precisely established the terms of active military service, the number and duration of training camps and age limit states in stock;

Military service under Soviet legislation was carried out in the following main forms:

  • service in the ranks of the USSR Armed Forces for the periods established by law;
  • work and service as military construction workers;
  • undergoing training, verification training and retraining during the period of being in the reserve of the USSR Armed Forces;

The fulfillment of universal military duty also included preliminary preparation (military-patriotic education, initial military training (CTP), training of specialists for the Armed Forces, improving general literacy, conducting medical and health activities and physical training of youth) for military service:

  • passing by students in secondary schools, and by other citizens in production, NVP, including training in civil defense, with students in secondary schools (starting from the 9th grade), in secondary specialized educational institutions (SSUZ), and in educational institutions of the vocational system - technical education (SPTO) by full-time military leaders. Young men who did not study in full-time (full-time) educational institutions underwent NVP at training points created (if there are 15 or more young men required to undergo NVP) at enterprises, organizations and collective farms; The NVP program included familiarizing young people with the purpose of the Soviet Armed Forces and their character, the responsibilities of military service, the basic requirements of the military oath and military regulations. The heads of enterprises, institutions, collective farms and educational institutions were responsible for ensuring that the NVP covered all young men of pre-conscription and conscription age;
  • acquisition of military specialties in educational organizations SPTO - vocational schools and in organizations of the Voluntary Society for Assistance to the Army, Aviation and Navy (DOSAAF), was intended to ensure constant and high combat readiness of the Armed Forces, was proactive and provided for the training of specialists (car drivers, electricians, signalmen, paratroopers and others) from among young men who had reached 17 years of age. In the cities it was produced without interruption from production. At the same time, during the period of passing exams, young students were provided with paid leave for 7-15 working days. In rural areas it was produced separately from production at harvests in the autumn-winter period. In these cases, conscripts retained their jobs, their positions, and were paid 50% of their average earnings. The costs of renting living quarters and travel to and from the place of study were also paid;
  • the study of military affairs and the acquisition of an officer specialty by students of higher educational institutions (HEIs) and secondary educational institutions engaged in training programs for reserve officers;
  • compliance with the rules of military registration and other military duties by conscripts and all citizens in the reserve of the USSR Armed Forces.

For the purpose of systematic preparation and organizational implementation of conscription for active military service, the territory of the USSR was divided into regional (city) conscription areas. Every year during February - March, citizens who turned 17 in the year of registration were assigned to them. Registration to conscription stations served as a means of identifying and studying the quantitative and qualitative composition of conscription contingents. It was carried out by district (city) military commissariats (military registration and enlistment offices) at the place of permanent or temporary residence. The determination of the health status of those attributed to them was carried out by doctors allocated by decision of the executive committees (executive committees) of the district (city) Councils of People's Deputies from local medical institutions. Persons assigned to conscription stations were called conscripts. They were given a special certificate. Citizens subject to registration were obliged to appear at the military registration and enlistment office within the period established on the basis of the Law. Changing the conscription site was allowed only from January 1 to April 1 and from July 1 to October 1 of the year of conscription. At other times of the year, changing the recruiting station in some cases could be permitted only for valid reasons (for example, moving to a new place of residence as part of the family). The conscription of citizens for active military service was carried out annually everywhere twice a year (in May - June and in November - December) by order of the USSR Minister of Defense. For troops located in remote and some other areas, conscription began a month earlier - in April and October. The number of citizens subject to conscription was established by the Council of Ministers of the USSR. The exact dates for the appearance of citizens at recruiting stations were determined, in accordance with the Law and on the basis of the order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR, by order of the military commissar. None of the conscripts were exempted from appearing at conscription stations (except for the cases established by Article 25 of the Law). Issues related to conscription were resolved by collegial bodies - conscription commissions created in regions and cities under the chairmanship of the relevant military commissars. The commission included representatives of local Soviet, party, Komsomol organizations and doctors as their full members. The personnel of the draft commission was approved by the executive committees of the district (city) Councils of People's Deputies. The district (city) draft commissions were entrusted with:

  • a) organization of medical examination of conscripts;
  • b) making a decision on conscription for active military service and the assignment of those called up according to the types of armed forces and branches of the military;
  • c) granting deferments in accordance with the Law;
  • d) exemption from military duty for conscripts due to their illnesses or physical disabilities;

When making a decision, draft commissions were obliged to comprehensively discuss the family and financial situation of the conscript, his state of health, take into account the wishes of the conscript himself, his specialty, and the recommendations of Komsomol and other public organizations. Decisions were made by majority vote. To manage district (city) conscription commissions and control their activities in the union and autonomous republics, territories, regions and autonomous districts, appropriate commissions were created under the chairmanship of the military commissar of the union or autonomous republic, territory, region or Autonomous Okrug. The activities of conscription commissions were monitored by the Councils of People's Deputies and prosecutorial supervision. For dishonest or biased attitude to the matter when deciding the issue of conscription, granting illegal deferments, members of conscription commissions and doctors involved in examining conscripts, as well as other persons who committed abuses, were held accountable in accordance with current legislation. The distribution of conscripts by branch of the Armed Forces and branches of the military was based on the principle of industrial qualifications and specialties, taking into account their health status. The same principle was applied when conscripting citizens into military construction detachments (VSO), intended to perform construction and installation work, manufacturing structures and parts at industrial and logging enterprises of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The recruitment of the military forces was carried out mainly from conscripts who graduated from construction educational institutions or had construction or related specialties or experience in construction (plumbers, bulldozer operators, cable workers, etc.). The rights, duties and responsibilities of military builders were determined by military legislation, and their work activities were regulated by labor legislation (with some features in the application of one or the other). Remuneration for military construction workers was made according to current standards. The mandatory period of work in the military service was counted towards the period of active military service.

The law determined: - a single conscription age for all Soviet citizens - 18 years;

The duration of active military service (command military service of soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen) is 2 - 3 years;

A deferment from conscription could be granted on three grounds: a) for health reasons - it was granted to conscripts declared temporarily unfit for military service due to illness (Article 36 of the Law); b) by marital status (Article 34 of the Law); c) to continue education (Article 35 of the Law);

During the period of post-war mass demobilization 1946-1948, conscription into the Armed Forces was not carried out. Instead, conscripts were sent to reconstruction work. New law on universal conscription was adopted in 1949, in accordance with it, conscription was established once a year, for a period of 3 years, for the navy for 4 years. In 1968, the service life was reduced by one year, instead of conscription once a year, two conscription campaigns were introduced: spring and autumn.

Completion of military service.

Military service is a special type of public service, which consists in the fulfillment by Soviet citizens of a constitutional military duty as part of the USSR Armed Forces (Article 63, Constitution of the USSR). Military service was the most active form of citizens exercising their constitutional duty to defend the socialist Fatherland (Articles 31 and 62, Constitution of the USSR), was an honorable duty and was assigned only to citizens of the USSR. Foreigners and stateless persons living on the territory of the USSR did not bear military duty and were not enrolled in military service, while they could be accepted for work (service) in civilian Soviet organizations in compliance with established by laws rules

Soviet citizens were recruited for military service mandatory through conscription (regular, for training camps and for mobilization) in accordance with the constitutional obligation (Article 63, Constitution of the USSR), and in accordance with Art. 7 of the Law on General Military Duty (1967), all military personnel and those liable for military service took a military oath of allegiance to their people, their Soviet Motherland and the Soviet government. Military service is characterized by the presence of an institution assigned in the manner established by Article 9 of the Law on General Military Duty (1967) personal military ranks , according to which military personnel and those liable for military service were divided into superiors and subordinates, senior and junior, with all the ensuing legal consequences.

IN USSR Armed Forces About 40% of the conscript contingent registered with the military (assigned to military registration and enlistment offices) were drafted.

Forms of military service were established in accordance with the principle accepted in modern conditions of constructing the Armed Forces on a permanent personnel basis (a combination of personnel Armed Forces with the presence of a reserve of military-trained citizens liable for military service). Therefore, according to the Law on General Military Duty (Article 5), military service was divided into active military service and reserve service, each of which took place in special forms.

Active military service is the service of Soviet citizens in the cadres of the Armed Forces, as part of the relevant military units, crews of warships, as well as institutions, establishments and other military organizations. Persons enrolled in active military service were called military personnel, they entered into military service relations with the state, and were appointed to positions provided for by the states, for which certain military or special training was required.

In accordance with the organizational structure of the Armed Forces, the difference in the nature and scope of service competence of personnel, the state adopted and used following forms active military service:

  • compulsory military service of soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen
  • long-term military service of sergeants and foremen
  • warrant officer and midshipman service
  • service of officers, including officers who were called up from the reserve for a period of 2-3 years

As an additional form of active military service, the service of women accepted in peacetime in USSR Armed Forces on a voluntary basis for the positions of soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen;

The service (work) of military builders was adjacent to the forms of military service.

Reserve service- periodic military service by citizens enlisted in the armed forces reserve. Persons who were in the reserve were called reserve servicemen.

The forms of military service during the period in the reserve were short-term training and retraining:

  • training camps aimed at improving the military and special training of those liable for military service, maintaining it at the level of modern requirements;
  • verification training aimed at determining the combat and mobilization readiness of military command and control bodies (MCB);

The legal status of the personnel of the USSR Armed Forces was regulated by:

  • Constitution (Basic Law) of the USSR, (1977)
  • USSR Law on Universal Military Duty, (1967)
  • General military regulations of the USSR Armed Forces and the Naval Regulations

Postage stamp series, 1968: 50 years of the Soviet Armed Forces

Material from the Mongolian Wiki Encyclopedia

Field mail is a type of postal service in military units in peacetime, organized instead of postal services through ordinary state postal departments. A type of field mail is military field mail - a postal service established in the active army in combat conditions.

Usually military units in various countries the world have field postal numbers, but their full name, type of troops, location and other details, both in peacetime and during war, are not disclosed and are a military secret. Letters from the civilian population, from the rear or from other military units are sent exclusively to the field postal number of the unit.

According to the adopted former USSR system for addressing field mail items, an abbreviated entry was made in the address line in the form “military unit xxxxx-“letter””, where “military unit” meant “military unit” at the level of a regiment (brigade) or a separate battalion (division) and higher, followed by a five-digit digital code for this part.

The letter after the unit number meant the internal division of this unit to the level of a company (battery) or a separate platoon.

In the modern Russian Federation (RF), military units continue the five-digit digital designation XXXXX - “letter”
