The following list shows the structure of the Russian Armed Forces as of September/October 2023. This structure is mostly taken from American sources or Third Party sources, as much information isn't available in Russian or outdated/not reliable due to state-run media in Russia.

2022 UPDATE: Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, changes which are up to 2022 will be updated with new information emerging during the ongoing conflict. Those units which are confirmed to be engaged in the region will be marked with crossed swords: .

Because of many reports (according to both the UN and Ukrainian sources) of War Crimes committed during the Invasion of Ukraine, an insignia will be added where those formations possibly committed these crimes.

As many people know, the Russian Federation has become an authoritarian regime, the reason why this is bring this up is because the current status of the military has become a close held secret in some areas. Because of the above reason, sources are pretty scarce from inside Russia, however some sites are great outside information pieces:

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Template:Lang-ru) is the military staff of the Russian Armed Forces. It is the central organ of the military command of the Armed Forces Administration and oversees operational command of the armed forces under the Russian Ministry of Defence.

The Chief of the General Staff (Template:Lang-ru) is the head of the General Staff and the highest ranking officer of the Russian Armed Forces or is also the senior-most uniformed military officer. He is appointed by the President of Russia, who is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The current Chief of the General Staff is Army General Valery Gerasimov.

Northern Military District

[edit]

In 2014, the Russian Ministry of Defence authorised the formation of a new district known as the 'Arctic District', tasked with protecting Russian interests in the Arctic region. In 2018, the last motor rifle brigade was formed in the region, bringing the district to its optimal organisation of two rifle brigades, and two other brigades (under naval command). From January 2021, the command will expand to form the new Northern District, based on the current Joint Strategic Command.[3][4][5][6][7]

On 1 January 2021 the command will expand to carry out its activities "...as an interspecific strategic territorial association (...) performing the tasks of the military district." On formation, the command will separate from the Northern Fleet, and be separated into two commands (Northern Command & Northern Fleet).[8]

Western Military District

[edit]

As part of the 2008–2020 Russian Armed Forces reform, the Western Military District (Западный военный округ) was formed on 21 October 2010 through the merging of the Leningrad Military District, Moscow Military District, (later also) the Baltic Fleet, and the 1st Air Force and Air Defence Command. In 2020, the district now oversees all military operations in three federal districts; North-Western, Central, and part of the Volga Region. These districts include the areas of; the Republic of Karelia , Belgorod , Bryansk , Vladimir , Vologda , Voronezh , Ivanovskaya , Kaliningrad , Kaluga , Kostroma , Kursk , Leningrad , Lipetsk ,Moscow , Nizhny Novgorod , Novgorod , Oryol , Pskov , Ryazan , Smolensk , Tambov , Tver , Tula , Yaroslavl regions , Moscow , and Saint Petersburg.[72]

The Western Military District now oversees all units, of all arms and services (with the exception of the Strategic Missile Forces and Long-Range Aviation). In 2014, the Northern Fleet and all units based within the Russian Arctic were withdrawn to form the new Joint Strategic Command (Northern Fleet).[72][73]

On 21 December 2022, the Western Military District was split in three with the reformation of the Leningrad and Moscow Military Districts. This came after announcements which will see the Russian Ground Forces expanded by almost half a million by 2025 and its structure reversed to the old 'District-Army-Division' system instead of the current 'District-Army-Brigade' system. Among the changes will include the expansion of the seven motor rifle brigades into divisions in the Western, Central, Eastern, and North Districts, and reformation of two air assault divisions.[74]

Special Forces Units

[edit]
370th Separate Spetsnaz Detachment conducting special reconnaissance training (2017).

The Special Forces Directorate of Spetsnaz troops in the Western Military District includes two brigades, in addition to a separate Spetsnaz brigade part of the airborne forces. Each 'detachment' is the rough equivalent to a battalion. Unlike in some Western countries, the Spetsnaz is the name given to all special forces, with its troops under administration of their respective branch in peacetime. If mobilised (for example for Ukraine in 2022), the troops come under the direct command of the directorate.

Operational Group of Russian Troops in Transnistria

[edit]

The Operational Group of Russian Troops in Transnistria typically abbreviated as the 'OGRV PRRM' was established in April 1995 by reduction of the former 14th Guards Combined Arms Army previously stationed in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. In an effort to retain a 'peacekeeping force' to guard a Russian ammunition depot there, the OGRV PRRM was established and initially consisted of the 59th Guards Motor Rifle Division (later reduced to the 8th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade) plus supporting units.[89] Following the 1999 Istanbul summit, the Russian government agreed to remove the Russian presence in the region entirely, however only major units were removed and a small Colonel's size force remains today.[90][91][92]

1st Guards Tank Army

[edit]

The 1st Guards Tank Army was stood up in late 2014 and announced in 2015. In 2013, the 4th Guards Tank Brigade and the 5th Motor Rifle Brigade were converted back to divisions, becoming the 4th Tank and 2nd Motor Rifle Divisions respectively. The Army was formed in order to increase the potential of available forces deployed in the outskirts of Moscow. The main goal was to create a fighting force composed of light to heavy units, which could undertake combat operations across the entire spectrum, from low-level counterinsurgency to high-tempo maneuver operations against a near-peer adversary.[104]

In January 2022, the 1st Guards Tank Army was deployed to Western Russia, taking position just over the border from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.[105]

The 4th Guards Tank Division had been reduced as part of the 2008 reductions to the 4th Separate Guards Tank Brigade, but expanded back to a division in May 2013. In 2016, the division joined the new 1st Guards Tank Army. In 2019, vintage T-34s were added to the division and a new ceremonial 'T-34 Battalion' was created.

In 2022, the division participated in the Invasion of Ukraine, but in May following the failed assault on Kharkiv, the division was withdrawn. According to captured documents, by May the division had lost 65 x T-80s and 6 x T-72s, or around a 1/3 of the division's fleet.[115][116]

The 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division had been reduced following the 2008 military reform to the 5th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade and based in Kalininets in the Moscow Oblast. However, in 2013, the brigade was expanded to reform the division. According to reporters, part of the division was engaged just two days after the signing of the Minsk Protocols near Mariupol.[123][124]

In 2022, the division along with the 1st Guards Tank Division were deployed to Northeastern Ukraine, and took part in the failed Siege of Chernihiv. The division then returned to Russia for re-training, and has since been deployed back to the frontlines in the Donbass.

The 3rd Vislenskaya Red Banner Orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov Motor Rifle Division had been reduced to the 6th Separate Tank Brigade and 9th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade in 2009 as part of that year's reforms. However, in 2016 the division was reformed by merging the two former brigades and centred around Valuyki in Belgorod Oblast.[143][144]

In 2022, the division took part in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, with its troops later having to be treated for eating poisoned meals, distributed to them by Ukrainian civilians.[145] Among the high ranking officers the division lost Colonel Igor Yevgenyevich Nikolaev, the commander of the 252nd Guards Motor Rifle Regiment.[146]

144th Guards Motor Rifle Division

[edit]

The 144th Guards Motor Rifle Division had been reduced to a storage base in 1993 following the fall of the Soviet Union, and in 2007 was disbanded. In 2016 the division was reformed and in 2018 inherited the lineage and honours of the former division.[150]

When, on 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, the unit was deployed as part of the grouping detailed to capture Ukraine's capital Kyiv by invading Ukraine from neighbouring Belarus.[151] The unit reportedly suffered heavy losses in the Kyiv campaign, and early April 2022 the campaign was disbanded altogether by Russia.[151] The unit retreated back across the Russian and Belarusian borders and was reinforced in order to return to the front.[151] In the September 2022 Ukrainian Kharkiv counteroffensive the unit again suffered heavy losses, reportedly losing at least half of its 200 T-80 tanks.[152] The surviving members of the unit failed their objective to stop the Ukrainian army from crossing the Oskil river.[152] It was reported on 23 September that the commander of the 144th division, Major General Oleg Yuryevich Tsokov, was wounded in Svatovo and was evacuated.[153]

Air Force Command

[edit]

As a result of the 2008–2020 Russian armed forces reform, the Air Force or Вое́нно-возду́шные си́лы, also known as the BBC was drastically overhauled. The old "Soviet style" air armies gave way to the new modern integrated Air Force and Air Defence Commands. These new commands saw the merger of the old 1st Leningrad, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Air Armies with their equivelent 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Air Defence Armies. As a result of these changes, all training centres (with the exception of regional training centres) and specialist units were placed under command of the new Air Force High Command, Командование военно-воздушных сил, based in Moscow.[385][386]

As of 2020, the Air Force has been rapidly expanding since roughly 2016, with many of the old air bases expanding to form new aviation regiments, notably in the Arctic and Central Districts. Now, the Air Force is divided into the 4th BBC based in Novocherkassk (covering the Southern MD), 6th Leningrad BBC based in Khvoiny, St Petersburg (covering the Northern and North Eastern areas of the Western MD, based around St Petersburg), 11th BBC based in Chita (covering the Eastern MD), 14th BBC in Shagol, Chelyabinsk (covering the Central MD), Military Transport Aviation Command based in Moscow, Long-Range Aviation Command based in Engels, and the Air Force Central Units (those directly subordinated to the Air Force Command in Moscow).[385][386]
