The courage and professionalism of military signalmen often became the key to stunning victories, and timely information about impending danger made it possible to prevent tragedies. In peacetime, this profession is also very relevant, because trouble can come suddenly and it is better to always be ready to meet it with dignity and rebuff the enemy as soon as possible. Military Communications Day calls on the public to appreciate the high merits of these people to the Fatherland and thank them for their vigilant vigilance and willingness to take risks.

No matter how professional the scouts and powerful landing forces were, all their efforts would have been in vain if it were not for prompt and uninterrupted communications. On this holiday, congratulations from the leadership are addressed to signalmen, awards and other incentives are issued, it is much more important and more expensive for them to feel the support and love of relatives and relatives, for whose peace and safety they serve. Their sacred duty is to defend the Motherland not only with arms in hand, but also using available communication channels to coordinate offensive campaigns and defensive strategies.

From the history of the Communications Troops

The day of the military signalman is a great occasion to look at the page of history.

In its development, military communications have traveled a long and difficult path, inextricably linked with the history of the creation of the Armed Forces, changes in the forms and methods of their use, and the improvement of military art.

From the simplest sound and visual means of communication for transmitting signals and commands directly on the battlefield to widely branched multi-channel, modern automated systems capable of providing communication over an almost unlimited range with both stationary and moving objects located on land, on water, under water and in the air - such is the historical path of development and improvement of military communications.

In the old Russian army there were no signal troops as such. Communication units and units were part of the engineering troops.

At the highest levels of government, communications were provided by the bodies of the People's Commissariat for Posts and Telegraphs, as well as the Central Directorate of Military Communications and the Main Military Engineering Directorate, which supplied communications equipment.

At the first stage of the existence of the Red Army in 1917-1918. battalions and communications teams were organizationally part of rifle and cavalry formations. At the same time, a communications battalion was provided for at the headquarters of a rifle division, a communications company for a brigade, and a communications team for a regiment. The commanders of these units and subdivisions were at the same time the chiefs of communications, respectively, of the division, brigade, regiment.

The lack of firm communication leadership had a negative effect on command and control. In this regard, on October 20, 1919, by order No. 1736/362 of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, an independent central body for the management of military communications was created - the Communications Directorate of the Red Army and the positions of Chiefs of Communication Troops of fronts, divisions and brigades were introduced. As a result, October 20, 1919 is considered to be the Day of Education signal troops.

By November 1919, 768 separate communication units were formed in the Red Army with a total of about 119 thousand people. In addition, 510 civil field postal and telegraph enterprises and institutions were seconded to the headquarters of fronts, armies, divisions and brigades, in which about 16 thousand signalmen worked. After the end of the civil war, the signal troops were reduced to 32,600 men and equipped mostly with obsolete and worn-out foreign communications equipment.

At the beginning of the 1930s, a communications industry was created, which made it possible to produce modern communications equipment.

On the eve of the war, the signal troops were kept in peacetime states, numbering more than forty-two thousand people, reduced to 19 signal regiments, 25 separate signal battalions, 16 separate radio divisions.

The Military Electrotechnical Academy of the Red Army, as well as the Leningrad, Voronezh, Ulyanovsk, Kiev, Ordzhonikidze and Stalingrad military communications schools were created to train the commanders of the communications troops in the prewar period.

During the first period of the Great Patriotic War during the retreat of our troops with heavy fighting, the insufficient preparedness of the border areas in relation to communications became obvious.

undertaken State Committee defense of the USSR by efforts: the unification in one hands of the communications of all the People's Commissariats in which it was (defense, communications, communications and internal affairs), the creation of the Main Directorate of Communications of the Red Army, the publication of a decree of July 23, 1941 "On improving the work of communications in the Red army" managed to rectify the situation. This was facilitated good level training and selfless devotion to the Motherland of the personnel.

IN post-war years the development of signal troops was carried out on the basis of experience in providing communications in the most difficult conditions of war, taking into account the newly emerging requirements for methods and methods of organizing communications, tactics and structure of signal troops, development of modern means of communication and systems for command and control of forces and weapons.

Modern Signal Troops

IN modern conditions requirements for the state of combat readiness of the Armed Forces are constantly increasing. At the same time, a significant role in solving this problem is assigned to the improvement of the command and control system of the Armed Forces. The technical basis of the command and control system is the communication system and the automated command and control system.

Signal Troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include signal troops of central subordination, formations, units and subunits of signals, types of troops, districts (fleets) and associations. They include stationary and field communication centers, linear parts of communication, communication security control nodes, courier and postal communication, institutions technical support, research and military educational institutions.

Despite the difficulties in the country, characteristic feature Today is the arrival of the signal troops of a new generation of communication equipment and, first of all, means of an automated command and control system, radio vehicles, and satellite communication stations.

The main direction in the development of troops and the communications system today is integration into a single telecommunications space based on the use of modern information technologies, replacement of analog means and communication complexes with digital ones.

Modern system communication is a complex multifunctional organism, including numerous communication centers for various purposes, many thousands of kilometers of radio, radio relay, tropospheric, wired and other types of communication lines.

Soldiers-signallers are taught steadfastness in overcoming difficulties, exemplary performance of military and patriotic duty, skillful and reliable defense of the Fatherland.

Decades have passed, new generations have grown up, but the image of the signalman hero has remained an example for present and future officers of the signal troops. High professionalism of commanders, field training of formations and units, readiness to perform tasks by personnel - character traits modern communications troops. Thousands of signalmen are honorably fulfilling their military duty, taking part in peacekeeping and counter-terrorist operations.

With their work and unique qualities, the signalmen deserved their holiday - the Day of the military signalman!

Holidays and events in October

Today is October 20th. Holidays and events:

October 20 - Day of the Signal Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Day of the Military Signalman)
October 20 - Naval Sailors Day (birthday of the Navy)
October 20 - International Air Traffic Controller Day

On October 20, 1919, by order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Soviet Republic, an independent central body was created to manage military communications and the positions of communications chiefs of fronts, divisions and brigades were introduced. The communications service has been separated into a special service of headquarters, and the communications troops into independent special troops. Thus, the structure of modern signal troops was laid. As a result, October 20, 1919 is considered to be the Day of the formation of signal troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Back in the middle of the 19th century, after the invention of the electric telegraph, communications units appeared in the Russian army. The first military telegraph was used in Crimean War 1853-1856 The world's first military radio unit, the Kronstadt Spark Military Telegraph, was formed in May 1899. And by the beginning of the First World War of 1914-1918. in the Russian army there were communications units in all infantry, cavalry and artillery units and formations.
Military communication began its journey with visual and simple audio signals. A modern communication system is a complex multifunctional organism, including numerous communication centers for various purposes, many thousands of kilometers of radio, radio relay, tropospheric, wired and other types of communication lines.

October 20 - Birthday of the Russian navy(Day of surface sailors).

On October 20, 1696, the Boyar Duma, at the insistence of Peter I, decided to create a regular Russian navy. This day is considered to be the birthday of the Russian Navy.
During the reign of Peter I, military shipbuilding developed in Russia, ships were built in Voronezh and St. Petersburg, on Ladoga and in Arkhangelsk. Azov and Baltic Fleets, later - Pacific and Northern.
In the second half of the XVIII - early XIX centuries The Russian navy has taken the third place in the world in terms of the number of warships, and the tactics of combat operations at sea have been constantly improved. This allowed the Russian sailors to win a number of brilliant victories.
During the Great Patriotic War, our fleet withstood severe tests and reliably covered the flanks of the fronts, crushing the Nazis at sea, in the sky and on land. Submariners, naval pilots and unit soldiers marines inscribed new pages in the history of the maritime glory of the Fatherland.
And today Russian sailors continue and develop glorious traditions of the Russian Navy, which already has a 300-year history.

On October 20, 1961, the International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers Associations was established in Amsterdam. This event was such a significant milestone in the history of development air transport, which became the basis for the emergence of a new professional holiday, timed to coincide with its date - international day air traffic controller.
Air traffic controllers are responsible jobs. The specialists of the air traffic control service require not only perfect mastery of professional skills, but also special psychological preparation. Security in heaven is in the hands of these people on earth. Air traffic controllers have a huge responsibility and the highest demands are placed on their professionalism.
There is a rule among air traffic controllers - work must be done, regardless of any circumstances and conditions of work. This holiday has become an opportunity for dispatchers around the world to once again emphasize the importance of their profession, draw public attention to their work, announce their achievements and formulate plans and goals for the future.

Today at armed forces ah countries celebrate their professional holiday those people, without whose successful activities it is truly impossible to carry out a single modern operation, whether it be a training operation or the most combat one. We are talking about military communications. It is they who ensure the uninterrupted exchange of information both between individual units and between entire military formations - exchange at various levels, at any time of the day, in any weather, including political weather.

Officially, the modern service of military signalmen has been counting down since October 20, 1919, when, as part of the Field Headquarters of the Red Army, in the midst of civil war V Soviet Russia communication control appears. It was formed by order of the Revolutionary Military Council No. 1736/362. We are talking about the so-called USKA, which stands for "Communications Directorate of the Red Army."

The tasks of the USKA included the management of all means of communication available at that time in the troops. Since 1920, representatives of the USCA have received the right to inspect units using these and newly available funds. These are telephone and telegraph equipment, cables and related electrical fittings. USCA in its original form did not last long.

By order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR No. 446/96 dated March 28, 1924, USKA, as they would say now, was “optimized”. It was connected to the GVIU (Main Military Engineering Directorate) with the transformation into the Military Technical Directorate (VTU) of the Red Army, subordinate to the head of supplies of the Red Army.

A little over seven years later, a new reorganization. The 33rd order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR of May 17, 1931 divides the VTU into two departments - the Communications Department of the Red Army and the Military Engineering Department. And in 1934, in accordance with the regulations on the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR, the USKA, as the central body of the people's commissariat, was entrusted with providing means of communication for all units and formations of the Red Army. Three more years - and a new reorganization: by order of NPO No. 0114 of July 26, 1937, it was merged with the Technical Directorate of the Red Army into the Communications Directorate of the Red Army. That is, the name is the same, but there are significantly more functions and rights.

This, by the way, is related to the fact that reforming “in both directions” (with the creation of one of the two, and then the division of one into two) is being carried out, as the history of the USSR Armed Forces and the RF Armed Forces, is quite active far not only in our time. Each time cycle dictates its tasks. And the extent to which mergers and divisions become effective in the end is a topic for a separate discussion.

Made a significant contribution to the development of the signal troops Soviet military leader, a native of the city of Gorlovka, Ivan Peresypkin. On his shoulders lay the most difficult task of providing communications for the country, the front and the rear, during the Great Patriotic War. It was Ivan Peresypkin who People's Commissar Communications of the USSR in the period from May 1939 to July 1944.

In 1941, Ivan Terentyevich became at the same time the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Soviet Union. It was under him that the country, in the most difficult period for itself, coordinated actions in different areas of front-line and long-range evacuation management, during battles at the front line, in rear units and formations, in government structures and in other areas using the means of communication available at that time.

Ivan Peresypkin personally went to the front 21 times to ensure the reliable operation of military communications structures. The Moscow battle, the Kursk salient, the liberation of Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states. In February 1944, Ivan Terentyevich became the first military man in the history of the country - the owner of the rank of Marshal of the USSR Signal Corps. At that time he was not even 40.

invaluable contribution to Great Victory introduced, of course, not only by the generals of the communications troops. A total of 304 military signalmen during the years of the most bloody war in the history of mankind became Heroes of the Soviet Union. 133 military signalmen are full holders of the Order of Glory, up to 600 communication units received military orders as a reward for their huge contribution to the defeat of the Nazi armies, and the 58th formations became guards.

Speaking on the Day of the military signalman about the people who forged the victory, one cannot but say about the equipment that they used to provide communications on the front line and in the rear. One of the most popular radio stations during the Great Patriotic War was the RBM (modernized battalion radio station). This is an improved version of the radio station RB (3-R). Radio stations with the factory code "Levka" were produced from 1942 to the beginning of the 50s. The start of production was laid at the plant No. 590 - "Electrosignal", evacuated to Novosibirsk from Voronezh. The radio stations of the Republic of Belarus and the RBM are the brainchild of Soviet radio engineers K.V. Zakhvatoshin, I.S. Mitsner, I.A. Belyaev, A.V. Savodnik, A.F. Oblomov and E.N. Genisht. All of them were awarded the Stalin Prize for their invention.

From the RBM kit: a transceiver, a power pack, a handset, headphones, a telegraph key, a collapsible small whip antenna, a horizontal dipole antenna, a collapsible vertical antenna mast 7 m high with a counterweight.

The radio station operated in two frequency bands: from 1.5 to 2.75 MHz and from 2.75 to 5 MHz.

The RBM can be called the "grandmother" of modern technical means military connection.

In modern conditions, when new forms of warfare based on the use of a network-centric method of command and control are constantly being introduced, the role and importance of signal troops is increasing significantly. This presents special requirements both to the technology itself and to the training of specialists.

From release:
The main focus of efforts to create a promising communication system of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the execution of tasks for its transfer from technologies for building primary and secondary communication networks to technologies for building a single transport (stationary and field) communication network, access networks and object communication networks of command posts of the Armed Forces.
The Main Communications Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, together with other interested military command and control bodies, is working to create a unified automated digital communications network for the Armed Forces. It will ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of the command and control system of the RF Armed Forces in terms of timely and reliable communication of combat command and control orders from command posts of all levels to weapons of fire, providing officials of military command bodies with the necessary communication services of the required quality.

This year, the signal troops continued to receive the latest equipment, including command and staff vehicles
R-149AKSH-1 based on the KamAZ-4320. These KShM allow you to establish communication over closed Internet channels and carry out topographic referencing through satellite systems. The development of signal troops continues as part of the modernization program of the Russian Armed Forces.

"Military Review" congratulates military signalmen on their professional holiday!

A man born under the sign of Virgo can be safely called a man of duty. These are disciplined, hardworking and at the same time highly intelligent people, whose mind has a pronounced practical orientation. For them, the meaning of life lies in work - a source of not only moral satisfaction, but material support. Virgos recognize only labor income. Other ways to make money for them simply do not exist; to reap where they did not sow, men born under this sign of the zodiac will never begin. They treat work as a need, necessity and duty at the same time. Virgo men are characterized by reliability and commitment, so you can rely on them without a doubt. They consider it unacceptable for themselves to be late and always comply with the agreements. Once having made a decision, Virgo will not change it. Men born under this sign categorically do not accept vulgarity and vulgarity in all their manifestations. They really dislike slovenliness and negligence, and this applies to everything: both appearance and inner world, way of thinking. Possessing accuracy and accuracy, the Virgo man expects the same qualities from those around him. If their behavior does not meet the requirements, the representative of this zodiac sign will come down with criticism. Virgo is very sharp on the tongue, and this quality, combined with pettiness, pedantry, meticulousness, often causes interpersonal conflicts. At the same time, the Virgo-man categorically does not accept any critical remarks addressed to himself. Virgos can be called very earthly people. Emotionally, it is very difficult not only to piss them off - even hurt them. They do not give free rein to their feelings, do not spill them, and always try to avoid situations in which one can become emotional, show more emotions than necessary. They do this in self-defense and are even able to make compromises, just to prevent the soul from being touched. Among bachelors there are quite a large number of Dev-men. It should be noted that he lives in this status quite well. In any case, bachelors who were born under the rest of the zodiac signs perceive their loneliness much more painfully. If a woman sets herself the goal of arousing interest in herself in the Virgo-man, then she should completely forget about all the tricks of the fair sex, like flirting, dramatic scenes, and so on. Representatives of this sign themselves choose a woman for themselves, and first of all a life partner, but not a lover, a companion for entertainment and other joys of life. Being extremely demanding and picky, Virgo men can live alone until they find the one they need. Contributes to their loneliness and the fact that often the Virgo's ideas about the beautiful field are overly idealized. In addition, men born under this constellation are often characterized by shyness. When love comes to the heart of a Virgo man, from the outside he may look indifferent: this is his kind of defensive reaction. Such a man can spend many years waiting for reciprocal love, but he will not stumble from his dream. When a Virgo man makes a marriage proposal, his chosen one can be sure: all the pros and cons are carefully weighed, the decision is made once and for all. Few people are as devoted to their other half as the Virgo spouse. But not only this quality makes Virgos excellent life partners. They are distinguished by tenderness, constancy, attentiveness, including to the little whims of the weaker sex, honesty, sincerity, decency. Virgo men are quite capable of providing a stable financial situation to their loved ones; they are distinguished by practicality, diligence, thrift. Rarely do Virgos have large families. It cannot be said that they burn with very strong paternal feelings for their children. However, this does not negate the fact that they approach the issues of upbringing and education of their offspring with all responsibility.
