Hierarchy of units in the army. Military formation

18.04.2020

Armed Forces (Sun) state - Provided by the government defensive and combat organizationsused in the interests of the state. In some countries, militarized (English Paramilitary) organization is included in the Sun structure.

In a number of countries, especially in the West, Sun are associated with the government through the civil authority. It may be called the Ministry of Defense, the Defense Department, Military Office and otherwise.

Types of Sun.

Sun is usually divided into different kinds; We usually be the army (ground forces), aviation (air force) and military fleet (navy / naval forces). A part of the armed forces may also be coast guard (although in many countries it belongs to the police or is a civilian institution). The French structure copied by many countries includes three traditional species, and, as the fourth, gendarmeria.

The term consolidated forces are often used, meaning military units compiled from two or more types of armed forces.

Organizational hierarchy Sun.

The minimum unit of the Sun is a unit (eng. Unit). The unit usually acts as a whole, and is homogeneous in composition (for example, only infantry, only cavalry, etc.).

In the Soviet and Russian armies, the main division is customary to be a platoon, company or battalion. These are the types of formations that are elements of the next stage of the hierarchy - the military unit.

Larger units of the Armed Forces of Russia are called, depending on the size, parts, compounds and associations (English. Formations). The most common (but not the only) view of military units Soviet army There were shelves, and in the Russian army - brigades. Examples of connections (Formations) are separate brigades, Divisions, wings, etc. Associations are presented in the Soviet and Russian armies by corps and armies.

The steps in this staircase can be skipped: for example, the Battalion Brigade is usually going into the NATO forces (such an organization is also used in Russia, it is an alternative to the division of the Polk-Division battalion). At the same time, the so-called so-called separate brigadesThe main difference of which was that they, unlike modern brigades, included individual military units in their own structure (for example, two motorized rifle shelf).

Army, Army Group, District and the Theater of Military Action - the largest associations (English forms), which can be very different from each other in size and composition. At the Division level, support forces are usually added (field artillery, medical service, the rear service, etc.), which may not be at the level of the regiments (English regiments) and battalions. In the US, the regiment with support divisions is called a regimental combat team (Eng. Regimental Combat Team), in the UK and other countries - a combat group.

In some countries, traditional names that create confusion can be used. So, British and Canadian tank battalions are divided into squadrons (companies, eng. Companies) and troops, English. TROOPS (acc. posters, eng. Platoons), whereas in the American cavalry the squadron does not correspond to the company, but the battalion, and is divided into troops ( troops., acc. Rotam) and plats.

The fronts of the Red Army during World War II corresponded, on this classification, groups of armies.

Supplements

The names of the listed units may vary depending on the kind of troops. For example:
1. In the Soviet Army (and, accordingly, in the Russian), the department may be called the crew. Functionally corresponds to the crew of one combat vehicle;
2. In rocket troops and artillery, air defense troops can be referred to as a calculation. Functionally consistent with the calculation that serves one instrument or matter;
3. In rocket troops and artillery, the air defense troops are called the battery, and the battalion is a division;
4. In Kavalry, the company was called a squadron, and a battalion - a division (but often in the cavalry shelves, this link was excluded and the regiment consisted of only several squadrons). Currently, in the armies of the Anglo-Saxon countries (Britain, USA) there are t. N armored troops in which such name is preserved;
5. In the Russian Cossack troops, there are other names - shelves of a six-titled or four-day composition, hundreds, fifth, branches (tens), individual artillery units. In the Cossack troops, there is also its own system of military ranks;
The specified number refers to infantry (motorized, motorized rifle) troops. In other types of troops, the number of units with the same names can be significantly less. For example, a infantry regiment consists of 3 - 4 thousand people, artillery - out of 1 thousand.
Any military unit in the army has not one, but two states - peaceful time and wartime. In military time, new positions are added in already existing units, new divisions and new parts. The missing servicemen are called on universal mobilization in war time. In the Soviet (and Russian) army allocate:
1. Deployed military time;
2. Abbreviated staff;
3. Croped units (in which the state consists only of level officers from platform commanders, mouth commanders or battalion commanders and above).

In the modern Russian army, about 85% of military units have the staff of the abbreviated composition, the remaining 15% are t. N. "Parts permanent readiness", Which are deployed at full staff. In peacetime Armed forces Russia is divided into military districts, each of which is headed by the commander of the district's troops in the rank of army general. In wartime, the fronts are deployed on the basis of military districts;

In all modern armies Adopted "Troic" (sometimes "chetvener") composition. This means that the infantry regiment consists of three infantry battalions ("Three-Baltic Composition"). In addition to them, its composition includes other units - for example, a tank battalion, artillery and anti-aircraft divisions, repair, intelligence companies, a curfew, and so on. In turn, each shelf's infantry battalion consists of three infantry mouths and other units - for example , mortar battery, platoon.
Hierarchy, therefore, may not be directly directly, for example, the mortar battery in the infantry shelf is not part of a battalion (division). Accordingly, individual battalions may be highlighted, each of which is independent military unit, or even separate companies. Also, each regiment can be part of any division or (level above) to obey the command of the body ("case of cabinet subordination"), or, even higher, the regiment can obey directly the command of the Military District ("Regional Region Region");
In the infantry shelf, the main units are infantry battalions - they are subordinate directly to the regiment commander. All auxiliary units are already subject to his deputies. The same system is repeated at all levels. For example, for an artillery regiment of district subordination, the boss will not be commander of the district's troops, and the head of the district artillery. The platoon of the communications of the infantry battalion is subordinate not to the commander of the battalion, and his first deputy is the head of the headquarters.
Separate units are brigades. According to his position, the brigades are standing between the regiment (commander of the regiment - Colonel), and division (division commander - Major General). In most world armies between the titles of the Colonel and Major General there is an intermediate title "Brigadier General"corresponding to the team commander (and during the Second World War in Waffen-SS was the title "Obrafürer"). There is no such title in Russia. In the modern Russian army, the Soviet division of the Military District-Corpus-Division-Regiment-Battalion, as a rule, was replaced by a reduced military district - a brigade - a battalion.

Department

Platoon

Several compartments make up a platoon. Usually in a platoon from 2 to 4 compartments, but perhaps more. At the head of the platoon is the commander in the officer rank. In the Soviet and Russian army, this ml. Lieutenant, Lieutenant or Art. lieutenant. On average, the number of personnel of the platoon ranges from 9 to 45 people. Usually in all kinds of troops the name is the same - platoon. Usually, the platoon is included in the company, but may exist independently.

Company

Several platforms make up the company. In addition, several independent offices of non-incoming sections can be included in the company. For example, in a motorized robing company, three motorized rifle platforms, machine-gun compartment, anti-tank compartment. Typically, the company consists of 2-4 platforms, sometimes from a larger number of platforms. Rota is the smallest formation having a tactical value, i.e., the formation capable of independently performing small tactical tasks on the battlefield. Commander Rota Captain. On average, the number of companies can be from 18 to 200 people. Motorized rifle companies are usually about 130-150 people, tank companies 30-35 people. Typically, the company is part of the battalion, but often the existence of a mouth, as independent formations. In artillery, the formation of this type is called the battery, in the cavalry of the escadron.

Battalion

It consists of several mouths (usually 2-4) and several platforms that are not incoming in any of the mouth. The battalion is one of the main tactical formations. The battalion, like the company, platoon, is referred to in its own family of troops (tank, motorized rifle, engineering and sperm, communication). But the battalion already includes the formation of other generics of weapons. For example, in a motorized rifle battalion, except for motorized rifle mouth there is a mortar battery, platoon material support, Communication. Commander battalion lieutenant colonel. The battalion already has its own headquarters. Usually, on average, the battalion, depending on the kind of troops, can withdraw from 250 to 950 people. However, there are a battalions with a number of about 100 people. In artillery, the formation of this type is called a division.

Regiment

In the Soviet and Russian army, this is the main tactical formation and a completely autonomous in the economic sense. Commands Poliver Colonel. Although the shelves are referred to by the birth of troops, but in fact this formation consisting of units of many types of troops, and the name is given on the prevailing family of troops. The number of personnel of the regiment from 900 to 2000 people.

Brigade

As well as the regiment is the main tactical formation. Actually, the brigade occupies an intermediate position between the regiment and division. The brigade may consist of two regiments, plus battalions and auxiliary company. On average in a brigade from 2 to 8 thousand people. Brigade commander, as well as in the shelf, Colonel.

Division

Housing

The brigade is an intermediate formation between the shelf and the division and the case is an intermediate formation between the division and the army. The body is already a general-official formation, i.e., it is usually deprived of a sign of one kind of troops. It is impossible to talk about the structure and numbers of the body, because how many corps existed, so much existed their structures. Lieutenant Lieutenant Corps Commander.

Armed Forces (Sun) state - The defensive and combat organizations used in the interests of the state. In some countries in the structure Sun Military organizations are included.

Types of Sun.

ENS is usually divided into various kinds; We usually be the army (ground forces), aviation (air force) and military fleet (navy / naval forces). A number of countries organize part of their armed forces as separate corps - maritime infantry (USA), etc. Part of the Armed Forces may also be coast guard (although in many countries it belongs to the police, or is a civilian). The French structure copied by many countries includes three traditional species, and, as the fourth, gendarmeria.

The term consolidated forces are often used, meaning military units compiled from two or more types of armed forces.

Organizational hierarchy Sun.

The minimum unit of the Sun is a unit (eng. Unit). The unit usually acts as a whole, and is homogeneous in composition (for example, only infantry, only cavalry, etc.). In turn, units can be divided into smaller units.

In the Soviet and Russian armies, the main division is a battalion, or company. They represent tactical level .

Larger units of the Armed Forces of Russia are called, depending on the size, parts, compounds and associations (English. Formations). Examples of compounds (Formations) are brigades, divisions, wings, etc. They form strategic level , in a number of countries, for example, in Russia, stand out operational level The main operational unit was the division.

In different states (and even in different types of Sun of one state), the same unit name can be used in different values, for example, a squadron (eng. Squadron). It can be used in a fleet as a designation of a connection of several ships; can be used in aviation, as the name of the unit (squadron); in a number of armies, including in American and RKKK - the name of the cavalry division corresponding to the battalion; In the armies of the British Commonwealth, the squadron refers to a tank company.

Command (eng. Command) are divisions, parts and compounds that form a single whole together, and under the command of one officer. This is usually a high-level organizational unit responsible for the government or national general estimation. In some countries of the command, combined by the types of armed forces, for example, the command of the ground forces.

In the Russian army, the term "command" approximately corresponds to the term "merge".

Army, Army Group, District and the Theater of Military Action - the largest associations (English forms), which can be very different from each other in size and composition. At the Division level, support forces are usually added (field artillery, medical service, the rear service, etc.), which may not be at the level of the regiments (English regiments) and battalions. In the US, the regiment with support divisions is called a regimental combat team (England Regimental Combat Team), in England and other countries - a combat group.

The fronts of the Red Army during World War II corresponded, on this classification, groups of armies.

Supplements

The names of the listed units may vary depending on the kind of troops. For example:

but). In the Soviet Army (and, accordingly, in the Russian), the department may be called the crew. Functionally corresponds to the crew of one combat vehicle;
b). In rocket troops and artillery, air defense troops can be referred to as a calculation. It is functionally consistent with the calculation that serves one tool or combat machine; in). In rocket troops and artillery, the air defense troops are called the battery, and the battalion is a division; d). In cavalry, the battalion was called a squadron. Currently, in the armies of the Anglo-Saxon countries (Britain, USA) there are t. N armored troops in which such name is preserved; e). In the cavalry company was called half-andcadron. Currently, in the armies of the Anglo-Saxon countries (Britain, USA) there are t. N the armored troops in which such a name or "corpse" persists; e). In Russian Cossack troops, there are also other names;

The specified number refers to infantry (motorized, motorized rifle) troops. In other types of troops, the number of units with the same names can be significantly less. For example, a infantry regiment consists of 3 - 4 thousand people, artillery - out of 1 thousand.
Any military unit in the army has not one, but two states - peaceful time and wartime. In military time, new positions are added in already existing units, new divisions and new parts. The missing servicemen are called on universal mobilization in wartime. In the Soviet (and Russian) army allocate:

but). Deployed military time; b). Abbreviated staff; in). Croped divisions (in which the state consists only of level officers from commander of platforms or commander of the mouth and above);

In the modern Russian army, about 85% of military units have the staff of the abbreviated composition, the remaining 15% are t. N. "Parts of constant readiness", which are deployed in full staff. In peacetime, the armed forces in Russia are divided into military districts, each of which is headed by commander of the district's troops in the rank of Colonel-General. In wartime, the fronts are deployed on the basis of military districts.

In all modern armies, the "Troic" (sometimes "ferechny") is adopted. This means that the infantry regiment consists of three infantry battalions ("Three-Baltic Composition"). In addition to them, its composition includes smaller auxiliary units - for example, a mortar battery, repair company, etc. In turn, each punching battalion The regiment consists of three infantry mouths, and smaller auxiliary units, for example, a platoon.
Hierarchy, therefore, may not be directly directly, for example, the mortar battery in the infantry shelf is not part of a battalion (division). Accordingly, individual battalions may be allocated, each of which is an independent military unit, or even individual companies. Also, each regiment can be part of any division or (level above) to obey the command of the body ("case of cabinet subordination"), or, even higher, the regiment can obey directly the command of the Military District ("Regional Region Region");
In the infantry shelf, the main units are infantry battalions - they are subordinate directly to the regiment commander. All auxiliary units are already subject to his deputies. The same system is repeated at all levels. For example, for an artillery regiment of district subordination, the boss will not be commander of the district's troops, and the head of the district artillery. The platoon of the communications of the infantry battalion is subordinate not to the commander of the battalion, and his first deputy is the head of the headquarters.
Separate units are brigades. According to his position, the brigades are between the regiment (commander of the regiment - Colonel), and division (commander of the division - Major General). In most world armies between the titles, Colonel and Major General exists an intermediate title "Brigadier General"corresponding to the commander of the brigade. There is no such title in Russia. In the modern Russian army, the Soviet division Military District-Corpus-Division-Regiment-Battalion, as a rule, was replaced by a shortened Military District - Brigade - Battalion.

Currently, there is a transition to the "new appearance of the Armed Forces" of the Russian Federation to the relevant structure of the building-brigade battalion. This transition leads to a reduction in the number of officers, which represents certain difficulties for the Ministry of Defense, the need to provide housing or housing certificates of dismissed officers. As well as the redistribution of the personnel and weapons of the disbanded parts.

Different levels

In the Russian army, the units specified in this article are divided into divisions (separation - battalion), parts(Separate battalion - regiment), connections (Brigade, Division) and association (Corps, Army, Front). Accordingly, allocate, the lowest, tactical the level on which the base unit is division, operational Level (Army Front), the largest - strategic (Front group).

Detailed description

Department

In the Soviet and Russian army, the branch is the smallest military formation that has a regular commander. The branch commands the junior sergeant or sergeant. Usually in the motorized rifle department of 9-13 people. In the departments of other generics of troops, the number of personnel of separation from 3 to 15 people. In some kind of troops, the compartment is called differently. In artillery - the calculation, in the tank troops - the crew. In some other armies, the department is not the smallest formation. For example, in the US Army, the smallest formation is the group, and the separation consists of two groups. But basically, in most armies, the unit is the smallest formation. Usually the separation is part of the platoon, but may exist outside the platoon. For example, the research diving department of the engineering battalion is not included in any of the platforms of the battalion, and directly subordinate to the headquarters of the battalion.

Platoon

Several compartments make up a platoon. Usually in a platoon from 2 to 4 compartments, but perhaps more. At the head of the platoon is the commander in the officer rank. In the Soviet and Russian army, this is a ml. Pilaterant, Lieutenant or Art. Pilateren. On average, the number of personnel of the platoon ranges from 9 to 45 people. Usually in all kinds of troops the name is the same - platoon. Usually, the platoon is included in the company, but may exist independently.

Company

Several platforms make up the company. In addition, several independent offices that are not incoming in any plates can be included in the company. For example, in a motorized robing company, three motorized rifle platforms, machine-gun compartment, anti-tank compartment. Typically, the company consists of 2-4 platforms, sometimes from a larger number of platforms. Rota is the smallest formation that has tactical meaning, that is, the formation capable of self-performing small tactical problems on the battlefield. Rota commander - captain. On average, the number of companies can be from 70 to 200 people. Motorized rods are usually about 101-150 people, tank companies 30-35 people. Typically, the company is part of the battalion, but often the existence of a mouth as independent formations. In artillery, the formation of this type is called the battery, in the cavalry - squadron.

Battalion

It consists of several mouths (usually 2-4) and several platforms that are not incoming in any of the mouth. The battalion is one of the main tactical formations. The battalion, like the company, platoon, is referred to in its own family of troops (tank, motorized rifle, engineering and sperm, communication). But the battalion already includes the formation of other generics of weapons. For example, in a motorized rifle battalion, except for motorized rifle mouth there is a mortar battery, a platoon of material support, a platoon. Major battalion commander or lieutenant colonel. The battalion already has its own headquarters. Usually, on average, the battalion, depending on the kind of troops, can withdraw from 250 to 950 people. However, there are a battalions with a number of about 150 people. In artillery, the formation of this type is called a division.

Note1 : The name of the formation is separation, platoon, company, etc. Depends not on the number of personnel, but from the kind of troops and those tactical tasks that are imposed on the formation of this type. Hence such a scatter in the number of personnel in the formations of the same name.

Regiment

In the Soviet and Russian army, this is the main (one can say - key) tactical formation and a completely autonomous formation in the economic sense. Commands Poliver Colonel. Although the shelves are referred to in the birth of troops (tank, motorized rifle, communication, pontoon-bridge, etc.), but in fact this formation consisting of divisions of many types of troops, and the name is given on the prevailing family of troops. For example, in a motorized rifle shelf two-cutting battalion, one tank battalion, one artillery division (read the battalion), one anti-aircraft missile division, reconnaissance company, engineering and spernaya company, Rota Communication, anti-tank battery, chemical protection, repair company, Rota material support, orchestra, medical center. The number of personnel of the regiment from 900 to 2000 people.

Brigade

As well as the regiment is the main tactical formation. Actually, the brigade occupies an intermediate position between the regiment and division. The structure of the brigade is most often the same as the regiment, but battalions and other divisions in the brigade are much larger. So in the motorized rifle brigade of motorized rifle and tank battalions in one and a half or two times more than in the shelf. The brigade may consist of two regiments, plus battalions and auxiliary company. On average in a brigade from 2 to 8 thousand people. Brigade commander, as well as in the shelf, Colonel.

Division

The main operational and tactical formation. As well as the regiment, it is referred to in the prevailing family of troops. However, the predominance of this or that kind of troops is significantly less than in the shelf. The division is motorized rifle and tank is identical in its structure with the only difference that in the motorized rifle division two to three shelf motorized rifle and one tank, and in the tank division, on the contrary - two or three tank shelves, and the motorized rifle one. In addition to these main regiments in the division, one or two artillery regiments, one zenito-rocket regiment, Jet Division, Rocket Division, Helicopter Squadron, Engineering and Sapper Battalion, Communication Battalion, Automotive Battalion, intelligence battalion, battalion radioelectronic struggle, material support battalion. Repair and recovery battalion, health-sanitary battalion, chemical protection company and several different mouth and platforms auxiliary. In the modern Russian army of the division, there are or can be tank, motorized rifle, artillery, airborne, rocket and aviation. In other kinds of troops, as a rule, the highest formation is the regiment or brigade. On average in division 12-24 thousand people. Major General Division Commander.

Housing

The brigade is an intermediate formation between the shelf and the division and the case is an intermediate formation between the division and the army. The body is already a general-official formation, that is, it is usually deprived of a sign of one kind of troops, although there may be tank or artillery corps, that is, the hulls with a complete predominance of tank or artillery divisions in them. The combination corps is usually referred to as the Army Corps. There is no single structure of the enclosures. Whenever time, the hull is formed, based on a particular military or military-political situation and may consist of two or three divisions and a different amount of formations of other types of troops. Usually the case is created where it is impractical to create an army. In peacetime, in the Soviet army of corps, there were literally three to five. During the Great Patriotic War The hulls were usually created or for the offensive on the secondary direction, an occurrence in the strip, where it is impossible to expand the army, or vice versa, for the concentration of forces on the main direction ( tank corps). Very often, then the case existed a few weeks or months and to fulfill the task was disbanded. It is impossible to talk about the structure and numbers of the body, because how many corps existed, so much existed their structures. Lieutenant Lieutenant Corps Commander.

Army

This word is used in three main values: 1.Amia - the Armed Forces of the state as a whole; 2. Army - the ground forces of the state armed forces (unlike the fleet and military aviation); 3.Armia - military formation. Here we are talking about the army as a military formation. The army is a major military formation of prompt destination. The army includes divisions, shelves, battalions of all kinds of troops. Usually, the armies are no longer divided by the birth of troops, although there may be tank armies where tank divisions prevail. The army may also contain one or more buildings. It is impossible to talk about the structure and numbers of the army, for how much army existed or existed, so much and there existed their structures. The serviceman standing at the head of the army is no longer a "commander", but the "Army Commander". Usually, the regular title of commander commander Colonel-General. In peacetime, the army as military formations are rarely organized. Usually divisions, shelves, battalions are directly included in the district.

Military District (Front)

This is the highest military formation of a strategic type. Larger formations do not exist. Nation "Front" is used only in wartime for the formation of leading fighting. For such formations in peacetime, or in the rear is used the name "District" (Military District). The front includes several armies, hulls, divisions, shelves, battalions of all types of troops. The composition and number of the front may be different. According to the birth of troops, the fronts are never divided (that is, there can be no tank front, an artillery front, etc.). At the head of the front (district) there is a commander of the front (district) in the rank of army general.

Note 2. : The concepts "tactical formation" are found above the text, "promptly tactical formation", "strategic ..", etc. These terms indicate the circle solved by these formation of tasks in the light of military art. Military art is divided into three levels:

1. Tactics (the art of fighting). Department, platoon, company, battalion, regiment solve tactical tasks, that is, they fight. 2. Operative art (the art of fighting battle, battle). Division, housing, the army solve operational tasks, that is, they lead the battle. 3.Sthegia (the art of warfare as a whole). The front decides both operational and strategic tasks, that is, leads large battles, as a result of which the strategic situation is changing and the outcome of the war can decide.

There is also such name as a "group of troops". In wartime, warrior formations are so called, solving operational tasks inherent in the front, but acting on a narrower section or a secondary direction and, accordingly, much smallly small and weaker than this formation as the front, but stronger than the army. In peacetime, it was called so called in the Soviet army to combine the formations deployed abroad (group of Soviet troops in Germany, the central group of troops, the northern group of troops, the southern group of troops). In Germany, this group of troops included several armies, divisions. In Czechoslovakia, the central group of troops consisted of five divisions, three of which were combined into the building. In Poland, the group of troops consisted of two divisions, and in Hungary of three divisions.

In the literature, more such names as the "team" and "detachment" are embarrassed in military documents. The term "team" is currently out of use. It was used to designate the formations of special troops (sappers, communications, intelligence officers, etc.) in the composition of international formations. Usually, in numbers and solved combat tasks, something mean between platoon and mouth. The term "detachment" was used to designate such formations on solved problems and numbers as the average between the roth and the battalion. Occasionally, as the designation of constantly existing formation applies now. For example, a drilling squad - engineering formation, designed to drill wells for water production in areas where surface water sources will be distinguished. The term "detachment" is also used to designate temporarily for the battle period of the organized grouping of units (advanced detachment, a commander, a detachment of cover).

Above text, I did not specifically use the concepts - a division, part, compound, association, replacing these words with faceless "formation." That I did in order not to make confusion. Now that we have dealt with the names specific, you can go to the names of the unifying grouping.

Subdivision

This word is indicated by all military formations that are part of the part. Office, platoon, company, battalion - all of them are combined with in one word "division". The word comes from the concept of division, divide. That is, a part is divided into divisions.

Part (VH)

This is the main unit of the armed forces. Under the concept "part" is most often meant the regiment and brigade. External signs of the part are: the presence of its own office work, military economy, the current account in the bank, postal and telegraph addresses, its own stamp press, the rights of the commander to give written orders opened ( C / h 08728) and closed ( 44 training tank Division ) Name. Ie, part has sufficient autonomy. The presence of a combat banner for part is optional. In addition to the regiment and brigade parts are the headquarters of the Division, the headquarters, the army headquarters, the headquarters of the district, as well as other military organizations (Voinorg, Army hospital, garrison clinic, district food warehouse, the song ensemble and dance of the district, the garrison house of officers, a home-owned garrison maintenance, central school of junior specialists, military school, Military Institute, etc.). In some cases, the status of part with all its external signs may have the formations that above we attributed to the divisions. Parts can be a battalion, company and even occasionally a platoon. Such formations in the regiments or brigades are not included, and directly as an independent military unit The rights of the regiment or brigade may be part of both the division and the corps, army, front (district) and even directly obey the General Staff. Such formations also have their open and closed names. For example, 650 Separate Driving - Airborne Battalion, 1257 separate Rota Communication, 65 Separate Radiotechnical Intelligence Take. A characteristic feature of such parts is the word "separate", standing after the numbers before the name. However, the regiment may have the word "separate" in item. This is if the regiment is not part of the division, but is directly in the army (hull, district, front). For example, 120 separate shelves of guards mortars.

Note 3. : Please note that the terms of the military unit (VH) and the military unit (in / h No.) are not the same. The term "military unit" is used as a general designation, outside the specifics. If we are talking about a particular shelf, a brigade, etc., it consists of the term "military unit". Typically, its number is also mentioned: "Military part 74292" (but cannot be used by the "military unit 74292") or an agreed - in / h 74292.

Compound

Usually under this term is meant the division. Here the word "connection" refers to the connection of parts. The division headquarters has part status. This part (headquarters) obey other parts (shelves). All together and forms a connection - division. However, in some cases, the compound may have a brigade. This happens when the brigade includes individual battalions and companies that themselves have the status of part. The headquarters of the brigade in this case, as well as the division headquarters, has the status of the part, and battalions and companies as independent parts are obeying the headquarters of the brigade. By the way, at the same time as part of the headquarters of the Brigade (Division) there may be battalions and companies. So simultaneously in the connection there may be battalions and companies as divisions, and battalions and companies as part.

An association

This concept includes a hull, army, district troops (front), and armies groups. The union headquarters is an control (part), which is subject to various compounds and military units.

Hierarchy of military formations

(Division, part, connection, ... What is it?)

In the literature, military documents, in mass propaganda, in conversations, in official documents dedicated to military issues, the terms are constantly found - compound, regiment, part, military unit, company, battalion, army, etc. For the people of the military here everything is clear, just And definitely. They immediately understand what we are talking about what the number of soldiers hide these names under them, which can be on the battlefield, something or that formation. For the people of civilians, all these items say little. Very often they are confused in these terms. Moreover, if in civilian structures, the "branch" often denotes a large part of the company, the plant, then in the "Department" army is the smallest formation of several people. Conversely, the "brigade" at the factory is just a few dozen people or even a few people, and in the brigade army is a major military formation, which has several thousand people. So in order for people civilians to navigate in the military hierarchy and written this article.

To understand the terms of common, grouping types of formations - a division, part, compound, union, first will understand in specific names.

Branch.In the Soviet and Russian army, the branch is the smallest military formation that has a regular commander. The branch commands the junior sergeant or sergeant. Usually in the motorized rifle department of 9-13 people. In the departments of other generics of troops, the number of personnel of separation from 3 to 15 people. In some kind of troops, the compartment is called differently. In artillery - the calculation, in the tank troops - the crew. In some other armies, the department is not the smallest formation. For example, in the US Army, the smallest formation is the group, and the separation consists of two groups. But basically, in most armies, the unit is the smallest formation. Usually the separation is part of the platoon, but may exist outside the platoon. For example, the research diving department of the engineering battalion is not included in any of the platforms of the battalion, and directly subordinate to the headquarters of the battalion.

Platoon. Several compartments make up a platoon. Usually in a platoon from 2 to 4 compartments, but perhaps more. At the head of the platoon is the commander in the officer rank. In the Soviet and Russian army, this is a ml. Pilaterant, Lieutenant or Art. Pilateren. On average, the number of personnel of the platoon ranges from 9 to 45 people. Usually in all kinds of troops the name is the same - platoon. Usually, the platoon is included in the company, but may exist independently.

Company. Several platforms make up the company. In addition, several independent offices of non-incoming sections can be included in the company. For example, in a motorized robing company, three motorized rifle platforms, machine-gun compartment, anti-tank compartment. Typically, the company consists of 2-4 platforms, sometimes from a larger number of platforms. Rota is the smallest formation having a tactical value, i.e. Formation capable of independently performing small tactical tasks on the battlefield. Commander company Captain. In the average, the number of companies can be from 18 to 200 people. Motorized rifle companies are usually about 130-150 people, tank companies 30-35 people. Typically, the company is part of the battalion, but often the existence of a mouth, as independent formations. In artillery, the formation of this type is called the battery, in the cavalry of the escadron.

Battalion. It consists of several mouths (usually 2-4) and several platforms that are not incoming in any of the mouth. The battalion is one of the main tactical formations. The battalion, like the company, platoon, is referred to in its own family of troops (tank, motorized rifle, engineering and sperm, communication). But the battalion already includes the formation of other generics of weapons. For example, in a motorized rifle battalion, except for motorized rifle mouth there is a mortar battery, a platoon of material support, a platoon. Commander battalion lieutenant colonel. The battalion already has its own headquarters. Usually, on average, the battalion, depending on the kind of troops, can withdraw from 250 to 950 people. However, there are battalas with a number of about 100 people. In artillery, the formation of this type is called a division.

Note1: Name of formation - separation, platoon, company, etc. It depends not on the number of personnel, but from the kind of troops and those tactical tasks that are imposed on the formation of this type. Hence such a scatter in the number of personnel in the formations of the same name.

Regiment. In the Soviet and Russian army, this is the main one (I would say - key) tactical formation and a completely autonomous in the economic sense. Commands Poliver Colonel. Although the shelves are referred to by the birth of troops (tank, motorized rifle, communication, pontoon-bridge, etc.), but in fact this formation consisting of divisions of many types of troops, and the name is given on the prevailing family of troops. For example, in a motorized rifle shelf two-cutting battalion, one tank battalion, one artillery division (read the battalion), one anti-aircraft missile division, reconnaissance company, engineering and spernaya company, Rota Communication, anti-tank battery, chemical protection, repair company, Rota material support, orchestra, medical center. The number of personnel of the regiment from 900 to 2000 people.

Brigade. As well as the regiment is the main tactical formation. Actually, the brigade occupies an intermediate position between the regiment and division. The structure of the brigade is most often the same as the regiment, but battalions and other divisions in the brigade are much larger. So in the motorized rifle brigade of motorized rifle and tank battalions in one and a half or two times more than in the shelf. The brigade may consist of two regiments, plus battalions and auxiliary company. On average, in a brigade from 2 to 8 thousand people. The team of brigades, as well as in the shelf, colonel.

Division. The main operational and tactical formation. As well as the regiment, it is referred to in the prevailing family of troops. However, the predominance of this or that kind of troops is significantly less than in the shelf. The division is motorized rifle and tank is identical in its structure with the only difference that in the motorized rifle division two to three shelf motorized rifle and one tank, and in the tank division, on the contrary - two or three tank shelves, and the motorized rifle one. In addition to these basic regiments in the division, one or two artillery shelf, one anti-aircraft missile regiment, jet division, missile division, helicopter squadron, engineering and sapper battalion, communication battalion, car battalion, reconnaissance battalion, radio electronic fighting battalion, material support battalion. Repair and recovery battalion, health-sanitary battalion, chemical protection company and several different mouth and platforms auxiliary. In the modern Russian army of the division, there are or can be tank, motorized rifle, artillery, airborne, rocket and aviation. In other kinds of troops, as a rule, the highest formation is the regiment or brigade. On average in division 12-24 thousand people. Major General Division Commander.

Case. The brigade is an intermediate formation between the shelf and the division and the case is an intermediate formation between the division and the army. The body is already a general formation, i.e. It is usually deprived of a sign of one kind of troops, although there may be tank or artillery corps, i.e. Cases with a complete predominance of tank or artillery dumplings in them. The combination body is usually referred to as the Army Corps. There is no single structure of the enclosures. Whenever time, the hull is formed, based on a particular military or military-political situation and may consist of two or three divisions and a different amount of formations of other types of troops. Usually the case is created where it is impractical to create an army. In peacetime, in the Soviet army of corps, there were literally three to five. During the Great Patriotic War, the corps were usually created or for the offensive in the secondary direction, an occurrence in the strip, where it is impossible to expand the army, or vice versa, for the concentration of forces on the main direction (tank corps). Very often, then the case existed a few weeks or months and to fulfill the task was disbanded. It is impossible to talk about the structure and numbers of the body, because how many corps existed, so much existed their structures. Lieutenant Lieutenant Corps Commander.

Army. This word is used in three main values: 1.Amia - the Armed Forces of the state as a whole; 2. Army - the ground forces of the state armed forces (unlike the fleet and military aviation); 3.Armia - military formation. Here we are talking about the army as a military formation. The army is a major military formation of prompt destination. The army includes divisions, shelves, battalions of all kinds of troops. Usually, the armies are no longer divided by the birth of troops, although there may be tank armies where tank divisions prevail. The army may also contain one or more buildings. It is impossible to talk about the structure and numbers of the army, for how much army existed or existed, so much and there existed their structures. The military personnel standing at the head of the army is no longer a "commander", but the "Army Commander". Usually, the regular title of commander commander Colonel-General. In peacetime, the army as military formations are rarely organized. Usually divisions, shelves, battalions are directly included in the district.

Front (district). This is the highest military formation of a strategic type. Larger formations do not exist. Naming "Front" is used only in wartime for the formation of leading fighting. For such formations in peacetime, or the name "District" (Military District) is used in the rear. The front includes several armies, hulls, divisions, shelves, battalions of all kinds of troops. The composition and number of the front may be different. According to the birth of troops, fronts are never divided (that is, there can be no tank front, artillery front, etc.). At the head of the front (district) there is a commander of the front (district) in the rank of army general.

Note 2: The concepts of "tactical formation", "promptly - tactical formation", "strategic ..", and the like are described in the text. These terms indicate the circle solved by these formation of tasks in the light of military art. Military art is divided into three levels:
1. Tactics (the art of fighting). Department, platoon, company, battalion, regiment solve tactical tasks, i.e. Fight fight.
2. Operative art (the art of fighting battle, battle). Division, housing, the army solve operational tasks, i.e. Battle.
3.Sthegia (the art of warfare as a whole). The front solves both operational and strategic tasks, i.e. Learning large battles, as a result of which the strategic situation is changing and the outcome of war can decide.

There is also such name as "group of troops". In wartime, warrior formations are so called, solving operational tasks inherent in the front, but acting on a narrower section or a secondary direction and, accordingly, much smallly small and weaker than this formation as the front, but stronger than the army. In peacetime, it was called so called in the Soviet army to combine the formations deployed abroad (group of Soviet troops in Germany, the central group of troops, the northern group of troops, the southern group of troops). In Germany, this group of troops included several armies, divisions. In Czechoslovakia, the central group of troops consisted of five divisions, three of which were combined into the building. In Poland, the group of troops consisted of two divisions, and in Hungary of three divisions.

In the literature, such names are embarrassed in military documents as "team" and "Detachment". The term "team" has been released from consumption. It was used to designate the formations of special troops (sappers, communications, intelligence officers, etc.) in the composition of international formations. Usually, in numbers and solved combat tasks, something mean between platoon and mouth. The term "detachment" was used to designate such formations on solved problems and numbers as the average between the mouth and the battalion. Occasionally, as the designation of constantly existing formation applies now. For example, a drilling squad - engineering formation, designed to drill wells for water production in areas where surface water sources will be distinguished. The term "squad" is also used to designate temporarily for the battle period of the organized grouping of units (advanced detachment, a commander, a detachment of cover).

Above in the text, I specifically did not use the concepts - a division, part, compound, union, replacing these words with faceless "formation." That I did in order not to make confusion. Now that we have dealt with the names specific, you can go to the names of the unifying grouping.

Subdivision.This word is indicated by all military formations that are part of the part. Department, platoon, company, battalion - all of them are combined by one word "division". The word comes from the concept of division, divide. Those. The part is divided into divisions.

Part. This is the main unit of the armed forces. Under the concept of "part" most often meant the regiment and brigade. External signs of the part are: the presence of its own office work, military economy, the current account in the bank, postal and telegraph addresses, its own energic press, the rights of the commander to give written orders, open (44 training tank division) and closed (in / h 08728) of the hostual commercial numbers. Ie, part has sufficient autonomy. The presence of a combat banner for part is optional. In addition to the regiment and brigade parts are the headquarters of the Division, the headquarters, the army headquarters, the headquarters of the district, as well as other military organizations (Voinorg, Army hospital, garrison clinic, district food warehouse, the song ensemble and dance of the district, the garrison house of officers, a home-owned garrison service, central school of younger setalists, Military School, Military Institute, etc.). In some cases, the status of part with all its external signs may have the formations that above we attributed to the divisions. Parts can be a battalion, company and even occasionally a platoon. Such formations in the regiments or brigades are not included, and directly as an independent military unit on the rights of a regiment or brigade may be part of both divisions and hulls, army, front (district) and even directly obey the General Staff. Such formations also have their own open and closed numbers. For example, 650 separate driving - landing battalion, 1257 separate communication company, 65 separate platoon exploration platoon. A characteristic feature of such parts is the word "separate", standing after the numbers before the name. However, the regiment may have the word "separate" in item. This is if the regiment is not part of the division, but is directly in the army (hull, district, front). For example, 120 separate shelves of guards mortars.

Note 3: Note that the terms military unit and military Unitnot exactly the same thing. The term "military unit" is used as a general designation, outside the specifics. If we are talking about a specific shelf, brigade, etc., the term "military unit" is consumed. Usually, its number is mentioned in the following: "military unit 74292" (but cannot be used by "military unit 74292") or an agreed in / h 74292.

Compound. The standard only division is suitable for this term. The word "connection" itself indicates - to connect parts. The division headquarters has part status. This part (headquarters) obey other parts (shelves). That's all together and there is a division. However, in some cases, the compound may have a brigade. This occurs in the event that the brigade includes individual battalions and companies, each of which itself has the status of the part. The headquarters of the brigade in this case, as well as the division headquarters, has the status of a part, and battalions and companies as independent parts are obeyed by the headquarters of the brigade. By the way, at the same time as part of the headquarters of the Brigade (Division) there may be battalions and companies. So simultaneously in the connection there may be battalions and companies as divisions, and battalions and companies as part.

An association. This term combines the housing, the army, the group of armies and the front (district). The association headquarters is also part of which various compounds and parts are subordinated.

There are no specific and grouping concepts in the military hierarchy. In any case, in the ground forces. In this article we did not touch the hierarchy of military formations of aviation and fleet. However, attentive reader is now quite simple and with insignificant mistakes can imagine the fleet and aviation hierarchy. As far as the author knows: in aviation - link, squadron, regiment, division, hull, air Army.. In the fleet - ship (crew), division, brigade, division, flotilla, fleet. However, it's all inaccurately, specialists in aviation and fleet will correct me.

Very often in art films and literary works on military topics, such terms as the company, battalion, regiment are used. The number of formations at the same time the author is not specified. People Military, of course, are aware of this issue, as in many others relating to the army.

This article is addressed to those who are far from the army, but still want to navigate the military hierarchy and know what is the department, company, battalion, division. About the number, structure and tasks of these formations are described in the article.

The smallest formation

The unit, or a branch, is a minimum unit in the Hierarchy of the Armed Forces of Soviet, and later the Russian army. This formation is homogeneously in its composition, that is, it consists of either the infantrymen or from cavalryists, etc. When performing combat missions, the division acts as a whole. Manages this formation a regular commander in the rank of junior sergeant or sergeant. Among the servicemen use the term "dresser", which abbreviated the "Department Commander". Depending on the type of troops, the division is called differently. For artillery, the term "calculation" is used, and for the crew tank troops.

Composition of the division

As part of this formation, the service is from 5 to 10 people. However, the motorized rifle compartment consists of 10-13 soldiers. Unlike the Russian army, a group is considered the smallest army formation in the United States. The division itself in the United States consists of two groups.

Platoon

In the Armed Forces of Russia, the platoon consists of three or four departments. It is not excluded and more of their number. The number of personnel is 45 people. The management of this military formation is carried out by the younger lieutenant, lieutenant or senior lieutenant.

Company

This army formation consists of 2-4 platforms. Also, the company may include independent compartments that do not belong to any suspension. For example, a motorized rifle company can be of three motorized rifle platforms, machine gun and anti-tank compartments. The command of this army formation is carried out by the commander in the rank of captain. The number of battalion ranks from 20 to 200 people. The number of military personnel depends on the kind of troops. So, in the tank line, a smaller number of servicemen is noted: from 31 to 41. In Motostrelevka - from 130 to 150 servicemen. In landing - 80 soldiers.

The company is the smallest military formation of tactical value. This means that the servicemen of companies can perform small tactical tasks on the battlefield on their own. In this case, the company is not part of the battalion, but acts as a separate and autonomous formation. In some kind of troops, the term "company" is not used, but replaced by similar military formations. For example, cavalry is equipped with squadrons of a hundred people in each, artillery - batteries, border troops - stages, aviation - links.

Battalion

The number of this military formation depends on the kind of troops. Often the number of servicemen in this case is in the range from 250 to thousands of soldiers. There are battalions of a hundred years of servicemen. This formation is equipped with 2-4 companies or platforms acting independently. Due to significant numbers, battalions are used as basic tactical formations. Commands them an officer in the rank not lower than the lieutenant colonel. The commander is also called "Combat". Coordination between the battalion is carried out in the team headquarters. Depending on the kind of troops using this or that weapons, the battalion can be tank, motorized rifle, engineering, communications, etc. Motion-rash battalion with a number of 530 people (on BTR-80) may include:

motorized rifle companies - mortar battery;
taking material support;
silence.

The battalions are formed shelves. In artillery, the concept of battalion is not used. There it is replaced by similar formations - divisions.

The smallest tactical unit of tank troops

TB (Tank Battalion) is a separate division at the headquarters of the army or body. The organizational tank battalion is not included in tank or motorized rifle shelves.

Since the TB itself does not need to strengthen its firepower, it does not contain mortar batteries, anti-tank and pomegranate platforms. TB can be reinforced with anti-aircraft rocket platform. 213 Soldiers - Such is the number of battalion.

Regiment

In the Soviet and Russian army, the word "regiment" was considered key. It is determined by the fact that the shelves are tactical and autonomous formations. Command is carried out by Colonel. Despite the fact that the shelves are called for the birth of troops (tank, motorized rifle, etc.), there may be various units in their composition. The name of the prevailing formation is determined by the name of the regiment. An example is a motorized rifle regiment, consisting of three motorized rifle battalions and one tank. In addition, the motorized rifle battalion is equipped with an anti-aircraft missile division, as well as Rotami:

links;
intelligence;
engineering and sapper;
repair;
material support.

There is also an orchestra and medical center. The personnel of the regiment does not exceed two thousand people. In artillery shelves, in contrast to similar formations in other types of troops, the number of servicemen is less. The number of soldiers depends on how many divisions the regiment consists. If there are three of them, then the number of servicemen of the regiment is up to 1,200 people. If the divisions are four, then the personnel of the shelf has 1500 soldiers. Thus, the number of battalion of the division regiment cannot be less than 400 people.

Brigade

Just like the regiment, the brigade refers to the main tactical formations. However, in the brigade, the number of personnel above: from 2 to 8 thousand soldiers. In a motorized rifle brigade of motorized rifle and tank battalions, the number of military personnel is twice as bigger than in the shelf. The team has two shelf, several battalions and auxiliary mouth. Commands the brigade officer in the rank of Colonel.

The structure and number of divisions

The division is the main operational and tactical formation, equipped from various divisions. Just like the regiment, the Division is called the prevailing troops in it. The structure of the motorized rifle division is identical to the structure of the tank. The difference between them is that the motorized rifle division is formed from three motorized rifle regiments and one tank, and a tank division is made of three tank regiments and one motorized rifle. Also, the division is completed:

two artillery shelves;
one anti-aircraft missile regiment;
reactive division;
missile division;
helicopter squadron;
one chemical protection and several auxiliary;
intelligence, repair and restorative, health, engineering and sperm battalions;
one radio electronic fighting battalion.

In each division, under the command of General Major, they serve from 12 to 24 thousand people.

What is the case?

The Army Corps is the general formation. In tank, artillery or in the corps of any other kind of troops there is no predominance of certain divisions. There is no single structure in the formation of the housings. Their formation is largely affected by the military-political situation. The housing is an intermediate link between such military formations, as a division and army. The hulls are formed where it is impractical to create an army.

Army

The concept of "army" is used in the following values:

Sun country as a whole;
large military formation of prompt destination.

The army usually consists of one or more buildings. Specify the exact number of military personnel in the army, as in the housings themselves, is difficult, since each of these formations is characterized by its own structure and numericality.

Conclusion

Military case is developing every year and enhanced, enriched with new technologies and birth of troops, so that in the near future, as the military believes, the way of warning wars can be changed. And this, in turn, entail the correction of the number of personnel of many military formations.
