Which at different historical stages had different names (Registration Directorate → Intelligence Directorate of the Red Army Headquarters → Intelligence Department of the Office of the 1st Assistant Chief of Staff of the Red Army → Intelligence Directorate of the Red Army Headquarters → IV Directorate of the Red Army Headquarters → Information and Statistical Directorate of the Red Army → Intelligence Directorate of the Red Army → 5- e Directorate of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR → Intelligence Directorate General Staff→ Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff).
Until 1950 (including the years of the Great Patriotic War), the structure of the Main Intelligence Directorate did not have its own military formations on a permanent basis. The Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) carried out its activities to provide the General Staff with intelligence information through a network of agents abroad (strategic intelligence).
Otherwise, the GRU was a service that controlled the activities of intelligence agencies and intelligence formations of the types of armed forces in terms of conducting military (tactical) intelligence.
Spetsnaz GRU
Reasons for creating
At the end of the 1940s, in connection with the appearance of nuclear weapons, the USSR Armed Forces faced the question of the timely assessment, detection and decommissioning of objects of weapons of mass destruction (carriers, storage facilities, launchers). For this reason, the military-political leadership of the USSR and the Armed Forces decided to create special units on a permanent basis, designed to operate behind enemy lines.
- conducting reconnaissance of the concentration of enemy troops in his deep rear;
- destruction of tactical and operational-tactical means of a nuclear attack by a potential enemy;
- carrying out sabotage;
- organizing the need for a partisan movement behind enemy lines;
- capture of persons with important information etc..
The choice of the term "special" (" special purpose"") for the formations being created, is explained by the fact that in Soviet military terminology, sabotage and reconnaissance activities deep behind enemy lines are defined by the term special intelligence, which is integral part operational intelligence.
The creation of these parts was entrusted to the 5th Directorate 2nd Main Directorate General Staff VS USSR ( 2nd Main Directorate- the historical name of the GRU in the period from 1949 to 1953).
Creation of separate companies
In total, according to directive No. Org / 2/395/832 of October 24, 1950, under the leadership of the GRU, by May 1, 1951, 46 separate special-purpose companies (oospn) were created, each of which consisted of 120 people. The total number of GRU special forces by May 1951 amounted to 5,520 military personnel.
Of the 46 companies created by subordination, they were divided:
- subordinate to the headquarters of the military district - 17 companies;
- subordination to the army headquarters - 22 companies;
- subordination to the headquarters of a group of troops - 2 companies;
- subordination to the headquarters of the airborne corps - 5 companies;
Scouts were trained to act as part of reconnaissance and sabotage groups of 8-10 people. All companies consisted of two reconnaissance platoons, radio communication platoon And training platoon. In this state, separate special-purpose companies existed until 1957.
The first recruitment of conscripts in separate special forces was made from among the soldiers and sergeants who served 2 years (at that historical period, military service in the Soviet army lasted 3 years).
In 1953, as a result of the reduction of the Armed Forces, out of 46 special forces, only 11 separate companies remained.
Creation of battalions
In connection with the revision of views on the organization and methods of conducting special reconnaissance behind the lines of a potential enemy, the leadership of the USSR Armed Forces raised the question of the consolidation of special forces. The main argument in favor of enlargement was the impossibility of organizing comprehensive combat training of servicemen on a company scale.
In 1957, at the initiative of the head of operational intelligence, Major General Sherstnev N.V., the formation of separate special-purpose battalions began. According to the directive of the Chief of the General Staff OSH / 1 / 244878 of August 9, 1957, out of 11 separate special purpose companies remaining after the reduction of the USSR Armed Forces in 1953, by October 1957, on the basis of 8 companies, 5 battalions were deployed, and the remaining 3 companies were transferred to a new state with a personnel of 123 people.
Separate special-purpose battalions (OSP) were created as part of the GSVG, SGV, Carpathian, Turkestan and Transcaucasian military districts.
The personnel of the created battalions differed markedly:
- 26th obspn (GSVG) - 485 military personnel;
- 27th obspn (SGV) - 376;
- 36th obspn (PrikVO) - 376;
- 43rd obspn (ZakVO) - 376;
- 61st obspn (TurkVO) - 253.
Each battalion included 3 reconnaissance companies, a special radio communications company, a training platoon, an automobile platoon, and an economic platoon.
The total number of GRU special forces by October 1957 amounted to 2,235 military personnel.
Creation of brigades
In 1961, the military-political leadership of the USSR considered the possibility of creating partisan detachments in the rear of a potential enemy.
On June 21, 1961, the Decree of the Central Committee of the CPSU No. 338 of the year "On the training of personnel and the development of special equipment for organizing and equipping partisan detachments" was issued. In accordance with this resolution, the USSR Ministry of Defense carried out military exercises, during which in each military district a brigade of 1,700 people was created from the reserve military personnel, who, under the control of veterans of the Great Patriotic War with experience in participating in the partisan movement, mastered the conduct of sabotage within a month. activities behind enemy lines.
Based on the results of the exercises, the leadership of the USSR Armed Forces concluded that it was necessary to create permanent cadre formations as part of military districts, which in wartime would serve as the basis for the deployment of large reconnaissance and sabotage formations recruited from mobilized reserve military personnel.
On July 19, 1962, General Staff Directive No. 140547 was issued, which ordered the commanders of the military districts to form cadre special purpose brigades according to the state peace time.
In the period from July 19, 1962 to January 1, 1963, 10 framed separate special-purpose brigades (obrspn) were formed.
Prior to the creation of the brigades, on August 21, 1961, General Directive No. Org / 3/61588 was issued on the creation of an additional 8 separate special-purpose companies by October 1, 1961.
All special-purpose brigades created in the early 60s (with the exception of the 3rd brigade) were a cadre formation, in which, according to peacetime states, the personnel were 300-350 people. According to the plans of the military command, when martial law was introduced, due to the mobilization of reserve military personnel and holding 30-day training camps, the brigades were deployed into full-fledged combat-ready formations with a personnel of 1,700 people.
According to the state of peacetime, a separate special-purpose brigade consisted of:
- Brigade management and subdivisions attached to it:
- detachment of special radio communications (communication battalion of 2 companies);
- mining company;
- logistics company;
- commandant platoon.
- 1-2 deployed separate special forces (reconnaissance battalion of 3 companies);
- 2-3 separate special forces detachments (framed).
- separate special purpose brigades - 10;
- separate special-purpose battalions - 5;
- separate special-purpose companies - 11.
Creation of additional brigades and regiments
In connection with the need for full-fledged centralized training of junior commanders (sergeants), in 1971 the 1071st separate training regiment for special purposes was created. This regiment trained sergeants in the military specialty reconnaissance squad leader.
Also at the 1071st regiment was created Ensign School, in which military personnel who served in the GRU special forces were selected. The need for a school of ensigns was caused by a complex training program in the military specialty Deputy Commander of the Special Forces Group, whose training by conscripts was irrational.
In connection with the participation of the GRU special forces in the fighting on the territory of Afghanistan, it was necessary to create a new educational formation for military personnel.
The reasons for the need to create an additional training unit were as follows:
In this regard, the choice for the deployment of the educational formation fell on the military camp of the 15th separate brigade of the special purpose of the Turkestan military district, which was transferred to Afghanistan in early 1985. The 467th separate special-purpose training regiment was created at the site of its former deployment in the city of Chirchik, Tashkent region of the Uzbek SSR.
The last special-purpose unit was the 67th Separate Special-Purpose Brigade, created in the Siberian Military District in the spring of 1984.

The composition of the GRU special forces for 1991
Osnaz GRU
Special intelligence of the Soviet Navy
The first such formation appeared in October 1953 as part of the Black Sea Fleet. Subsequently, until the end of 1957, a similar formation was created in each fleet. In the Caspian Flotilla, such a formation was created in 1969. According to the organizational and staff structure, these formations were military units, equal in number to a company (personnel - 122 people). They are officially named maritime reconnaissance post (mrp).
In wartime everything maritime reconnaissance posts deployed in separate special forces brigades. In 1968, the naval reconnaissance post of the Black Sea Fleet was renamed separate brigade special purpose. Despite the renaming, in fact, this brigade was an incomplete battalion (personnel - 148 people).
The task of the special intelligence servicemen was to:
- reconnaissance of enemy bases, ports and other facilities;
- destruction or incapacitation of warships, support transport ships, hydraulic structures, radio facilities on the coast and other facilities;
- guidance of aviation and missile systems of the Navy at enemy targets;
- conducting reconnaissance in the interests of the forces of the fleet during the landing of marines;
- capture of documentary data of the enemy and prisoners.
For the transfer of scouts, it was planned to use submarines, military transport aircraft and helicopters. In connection with ensuring the secrecy of the advancement, the personnel of the special intelligence were trained in diving and parachuting. Officially, the military specialty of the personnel of naval reconnaissance points was referred to as "scout diver".
From the Mongolian Wiki Encyclopedia
Field mail - a type of postal service in military units in peacetime, organized instead of postal service through ordinary state postal departments. A variety of field mail is military field mail - a postal service established in the army in the conditions of combat operations.
Usually military units in different countries of the world have field postal numbers, but their full name, type of troops, location and other details, both in peacetime and in war, are not disclosed and are a military secret. Letters from civilian population, from the rear or from other military units are sent exclusively to the field postal number of the unit.
According to the former USSR system for addressing field mail items, an abbreviated entry was made in the address bar in the form of “military unit xxxxx-“letter””, where “military unit” meant a “military unit” at the level of a regiment (brigade) or a separate battalion (division) and higher, followed by a five-digit numeric code for that 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 modern Russian Federation(Russian Federation) military units continue the five-digit numerical designation XXXXX - "letter"

Armed Forces of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR Armed Forces)- the military organization of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was intended to protect the Soviet people, freedom and independence of the Soviet Union.
Part Armed Forces USSR included: the central bodies of military control, the Strategic Missile Forces, the Ground Forces, Air Force, Air Defense Troops, 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 Red Army was demobilized 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 preserve the core of the army and train as many people as possible in military affairs at the lowest cost. As a result, in 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-militia unit).
But in 1934 - 1935, the military policy changed and 3/4 of all divisions became personnel. In the Ground Forces in 1939, compared with 1930, the number of artillery increased 7 times, including anti-tank and tank artillery - 70 times. Developed tank forces and Air Force. The number of tanks from 1934 to 1939 increased by 2.5 times, in 1939 compared to 1930 the total number of aircraft increased by 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. Command staff suffered heavy losses in 1937-1938 as a result of the Great Terror.
On September 1, 1939, the Law of the USSR "On General military service”, according to which all men fit for health reasons had to serve in the army for three years, in the navy - five years (according to the previous law of 1925, “disenfranchised” - disenfranchised “non-labor elements” - did not serve in the army, but were enrolled 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 armor brigades, which since 1939 were the main formations of the armored forces, the formation of tank and mechanized divisions began. In the airborne troops, they began to form airborne corps, and in the Air Force, from 1940, they began to switch to a divisional organization.
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, which accounted for 52.6 percent of the total membership of the party. 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 - already 78,640
By 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 went 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 since 1955 Armed Forces of the USSR played a leading role in the military organization of the Warsaw Pact (WTS). Starting from 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, the arms race. It took a significant part of the national income.
In the period after the Great Patriotic War, the USSR Ministry of Defense was systematically entrusted with the task of providing civilian ministries labor force by forming military formations, units, 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 were announced 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% were withdrawn Soviet troops from Mongolia, and the number of troops on Far East(opposing the PRC) was reduced by 120 thousand people.

Military duty
Universal conscription, established by Soviet law, followed from the constitutional provision, which determined 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 Constitution of the USSR). The legislation on universal conscription has gone through several stages in its development. Reflecting socio-political changes in the life of society and the need to strengthen the defense of the country, it developed from volunteerism to compulsory military service of the working people and from it to universal military duty.
General military duty was characterized by the following main features:
- it extended only to Soviet citizens;
- was universal: all male citizens of the USSR were subject to conscription; only persons serving a criminal sentence and persons in respect of whom an investigation was conducted or a criminal case was considered by a court were not called;
- it was personal and equal for everyone: it was not allowed to replace a conscript with another person: for evading conscription or from performing duties of military service, the perpetrators were criminally liable;
- had time limits: the law precisely established the terms of active military service, the number and duration of training camps and age limit stock status;
Conscription under Soviet law was carried out in the following main forms:
- service in the ranks of the USSR Armed Forces within the terms established by law;
- work and service as military builders;
- passing training, verification fees and retraining during the period of state in the reserve of the USSR Armed Forces;
The fulfillment of universal military duty was also preliminary training (military-patriotic education, initial military training (NVP), training of specialists for the Armed Forces, improving general literacy, conducting medical and recreational activities and physical training of young people) for military service:
- passage by students in secondary schools, and by other citizens - in the production of NVP, including training in civil defense, with student youth in general education schools(starting from the 9th grade), in secondary specialized educational institutions (SSUZ), and in educational institutions of the vocational education system (VET) by full-time military leaders. Young men who did not study in daytime (full-time) educational institutions of the CWP passed at training centers created (if there are 15 or more young men who are required to pass the CWP) at enterprises, organizations and collective farms; The NVP program included familiarizing young people with the appointment of the Soviet Armed Forces and their nature, with the duties 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 military age;
- acquisition of military specialties in educational organizations SPTO - vocational schools and 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 advance and provided for the training of specialists (car drivers, electricians, signalmen, paratroopers and others) from among the young men who had reached 17 years of age. In the cities it was produced on the job. At the same time, for the period of passing the exams, young students were provided with paid leave for 7-15 working days. In rural areas, it was produced with a break from production at the gathering in the autumn-winter period. In these cases, recruits were kept their jobs, their position and were paid 50% of the average earnings. The costs of renting a dwelling and travel to and from the place of study were also paid;
- the study of military affairs and the acquisition of an officer's specialty by students of higher educational institutions (HEI) and secondary vocational schools, who were engaged in training programs for reserve officers;
- compliance with the rules of military registration and other military duties by conscripts and all citizens who are in the reserve of the USSR Armed Forces.
In order to systematically prepare and organize the call for active military service, the territory of the USSR was divided into district (city) recruiting stations. Citizens who turned 17 years old in the year of registration were assigned to them annually during February - March. Registration to the recruiting stations served as a means of identifying and studying the quantitative and qualitative composition of the recruiting contingents. It was produced by district (city) military commissariats (military registration and enlistment offices) at the place of permanent or temporary residence. Determination of the state of health of those assigned was carried out by doctors allocated by decision of the executive committees (executive committees) of district (city) Soviets of People's Deputies from local medical institutions. Persons assigned to recruiting stations were called conscripts. They were given a special certificate. Citizens subject to registration were required to appear at the military registration and enlistment office within the time period established on the basis of the Law. A change in the recruiting station 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, a change in the recruiting station in some cases could be allowed only for good reasons (for example, moving to a new place of residence as part of a 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 Minister of Defense of the USSR. In troops located in remote and some other areas, the call 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 the 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 was exempted from appearing at the recruiting stations (with the exception of the cases established by Article 25 of the Law). Issues related to conscription were resolved by collegiate bodies - draft commissions created in districts and cities under the chairmanship of the relevant military commissars. to the commission as their full members included representatives of local Soviet, party, Komsomol organizations and doctors. The personal composition of the draft commission was approved by the executive committees of the district (city) Soviets 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 type of armed forces and types of troops;
- c) granting deferrals in accordance with the Law;
- d) exemption from military duty of conscripts in connection with their illnesses or physical disabilities;
When making a decision, the 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, the recommendations of the Komsomol and other public organizations. Decisions were made by majority vote. For the management of district (city) draft commissions and control over 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, territories, region or autonomous district. The activities of the draft commissions were controlled by the Soviets of People's Deputies and prosecutorial supervision. For dishonest or biased attitude to the case when resolving the issue of conscription, providing illegal deferrals, members of the draft commissions and doctors involved in the examination of conscripts, as well as other persons who committed abuse, were held liable in accordance with applicable law. The basis for the distribution of conscripts by type of armed forces and combat arms was the principle of industrial qualification and specialty, taking into account the state of health. The same principle was used when conscripting citizens into military construction units (VSO) designed to perform construction and installation work, manufacture structures and parts at industrial and logging enterprises of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The recruitment of the military personnel was carried out mainly from conscripts who graduated from construction schools 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 labor activity was regulated by labor legislation (with some peculiarities in the application of one or the other). Military builders were paid according to current regulations. The obligatory term of service in the military service was counted towards the term of active military service.
The law determined: - a single draft age for all Soviet citizens - 18 years;
The term of active military service (conscript 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 who were 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 of 1946-1948, there was no conscription into the Armed Forces. Instead, conscripts were sent to recovery work. A new law on universal conscription was adopted in 1949, in accordance with it, a conscription was established once a year, for a period of 3 years, for a fleet of 4 years. In 1968, the term of service was reduced by one year, instead of conscription once a year, two conscription campaigns were introduced - spring and autumn.
Passage of military service.
Military service - a special kind public service, which consists in the fulfillment by Soviet citizens of constitutional military duty as part of the USSR Armed Forces (Article 63, the 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 of the Constitution of the USSR), was an honorable duty and was assigned only to citizens of the USSR.
