August 1 - Day of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
August in Russia traditionally opens a series of military holidays. The first of these is the Day of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This holiday is celebrated annually on August 1. The Day of the Rear is a professional holiday for all military personnel, as well as civilian personnel of the armed forces related to the units and units of the rear of the RF Armed Forces.
The Day of the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is a very young holiday, it was approved by the order of the Minister of Defense of Russia No. 225 of 7 in May 1998 of the year. At the same time we began to celebrate the holiday in August 1 as a memorable day in accordance with the decree of the President of Russia from May 31 2006, "On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces."
The starting point of the organization of the rear of the Russian army is the first quarter of the XVIII century, when Peter I organized the regular army and navy. The creation of a regular army required the organization of its permanent state support from state-owned warehouses. At the same time, orders became the central organs of supply (Military, Artillery and Proviant). The beginning of the creation of food services in the Russian army is attributed to 18 in February (March 1 in new style) 1700, when Peter I, on the basis of a corresponding decree, introduced a new post in the military department - food general. On the same day, Peter I was also formed by the “Special Order” (later he will be called the Military, although he was also called the Commissariat), he was assigned to supply troops with equipment, uniforms and salaries, as well as horses and weapons. The artillery order was formed later - in 1701, on the basis of the Pushkarsky order, which existed in Russia from the XVI century and was in charge of the production, distribution and accounting of artillery and ammunition.
In the 1711 year, by decree of Peter I, the supply bodies were incorporated into the active army. A prevailing at the beginning of the XVIII century the structure of the management bodies, as well as gained during the Great Northern War of experience supplying the army were fixed in army regulations 1716 years.
In the future, the structure and system of logistic support of the armed forces of our country was continuously improved, taking into account the experience of waging various wars. Increasing development and importance was received by the transport of supply, a system for the separation of military supplies was created, a single quartermaster service was formed. During the First World War, army and front supply bases were created, front distribution stations began to work, which ensured the reception of railway transport, which brought ammunition, weapons, food and uniforms necessary for the troops from the depths of the country, and body unloading stations also began to operate.
By the beginning of World War II in the rear part of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union were: the rear part, units and institutions that were part of the military units, formations and associations of all types of aircraft; warehouses and bases with stocks of various material resources; automobile, road, aviation technical, aerodrome engineering, maintenance, medical, veterinary and other rear units and units of central subordination. The entire system was managed through the respective main and central directorates of the People’s Commissariat of Defense. The general management of the main commissary, veterinary, sanitary departments and the department of material funds was entrusted to the Deputy Commissar of Defense of the USSR. Front and army rear were absent, since their maintenance in peacetime conditions was not provided for by the staff list. Such a structure of the logistics of the troops did not meet the requirements of wartime.
Under the conditions of the already started World War 1 August 1941, Stalin signed the order of the USSR People’s Commissar of Defense "On the organization of the Red Army Red Army Main Directorate", which united the headquarters of the rear, road administration, military communications department, and the inspection head of the rear of the Red Army. At the same time, a new post was introduced - the head of the rear of the Red Army; in addition to the Main Department of the Rear, the Fuel Supply Department, the Main Quartermaster Directorate, the Veterinary and Health Administration were also subordinate to it. In addition, the post of chiefs of rear were introduced in the armies and at the fronts. By May 1942, the positions of the rear commanders were already introduced in the corps and divisions of the Red Army. As a result of measures taken in rather difficult wartime conditions could rapidly create a well-organized and technically equipped armed forces the rear, which coped with the tasks entrusted to it the enormous amount of work. As a result, already in the XXI century, the date of August 1 was chosen as a memorable day - the Day of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Today, the rear of the armed forces is organically inscribed in the integrated system of material and technical support of the troops (forces), which occupies one of the leading positions in enhancing the combat readiness of units, formations and organizations of the Russian Defense Ministry, in particular, in strengthening the defense capability of the Russian Federation. In many respects, today the combat effectiveness of the modern Russian army depends on the efficient and well-coordinated work of the system for the logistics of the Armed Forces.
This is not surprising, the million-strong army needs to be supplied with everything necessary every day: to feed, to shoe, to dress, to provide housing and communal services for the barracks and housing funds, to fuel all military equipment without exception, to store equipment and ammunition, to provide for sanitary and veterinary, environmental and fire safety and solve many other problems. At the same time, it is necessary to do all of the above in conditions of extreme and extreme situations. To cope with this amount of work, tens of thousands of back-office specialists are working on solving logistics problems around the clock.
Logistics specialists are responsible for organizing the transport of troops and various materiel, the restoration and technical cover of transport communications. They contain basing points aviation и fleet, numerous military camps throughout the country, provide them with cold and hot water, electricity. To solve these problems, a system of material and technical support for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was created, which is rightly considered an integral part of the country's defense potential, a link between the Russian economy and directly the army and naval forces.
Today, the management of general types of support is entrusted to the central bodies of military control, including: the headquarters for logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, two departments (maintenance and the provision of utilities for military units and organizations and transport support), three main directorates (rocket-artillery, armored vehicles) , chief of the Railway Troops), six departments (food, clothing, rocket fuel and fuel, metrology, monitoring of logistics and logistics systems by perpetuating the memory of those who died while defending the Fatherland).
The types and combat arms leadership logistical conducted Deputy Commander (Commander) of the MTO through their subordinate authorities, services and departments. In the fleet and in military districts, the general types of material and technical support are managed by the deputy commanders of the military district (fleet) for logistics support through headquarters and offices, who have satisfying functions for all troops (forces), according to their territorial principle. The troop link system logistical management structure exists the technical and logistical support of military units and of compounds which direct the substituents commanders for logistics and armament.
Best of all, the work of the rear of the RF Armed Forces is expressed in numbers. Each year, the efforts of the rear services ensure the maintenance and proper maintenance of more than 120 thousands of armored and rocket artillery weapons, more than 400 thousands of automobile and other military equipment. Every year they provide servicemen with food for two dozen food ration standards. Also in the personal use of the Russian military personnel there are constantly more than 50 of millions of different items of military uniform, with each year about 15 million units of such items being issued.
The Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov, congratulating the personnel of the administration and logistics departments, noted that today the rear faces very difficult tasks: every day it is necessary to feed about 600 thousands of servicemen according to the 1 standard of the food ration, to issue around 50 annually millions of different military uniforms; contain 5,7 thousands of military camps throughout the country, including 69,5 thousands of different buildings and structures, more than 5 thousands of residential buildings and almost 200 thousands of dwellings, as well as more 7 thousands of water and sewer facilities, more than 4 thousands of thermal facilities and Almost 24 thousands of kilometers of various engineering systems and communications. At the same time, the bodyguards, like other military men, have to serve and carry out their activities in all climatic zones of our country.
