Russian marines are being reformed into expeditionary forces of Russia
The Ministry of Defense has adjusted the training program for officers of the Marine Corps with a simultaneous extension of the training period to five years. These changes are associated with the reform of the Marine Corps, according to which the "black berets" become the expeditionary forces of Russia, capable of performing tasks anywhere in the world. Accordingly, an in-depth study of foreign languages and some other specific subjects necessary for actions outside the territory of Russia is introduced into the curriculum.
A new concept for the use of the Marine Corps comes down to the fact that they must be ready to act independently anywhere in the world where the Navy will deliver them. At the same time, the tasks assigned are not limited to the conduct of hostilities, now the “black berets” will be assigned peacekeeping missions, the evacuation of Russian citizens from dangerous regions, actions in the interests of their country in local conflicts far beyond its borders, etc.
As explained in the Ministry of Defense, the Marine Corps officer will not only have to be able to competently conduct military operations, but also have the skills of a diplomat and speak foreign languages to pursue Russia's policy in that part of the world where he will be sent to solve problems.
Earlier it was reported that since this year all naval warships in each campaign are accompanied by fighters of the marine corps, the composition and size of each group depends on the type of ship. The Black Berets will on an ongoing basis fulfill the tasks of protecting ships from terrorists and saboteurs, and will carry out the tasks of inspection groups. If necessary, marine corps fighters will be involved in guarding ships in foreign ports.
Recall that officers for the formations and units of the Marine Corps are trained only in two educational institutions - in the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School (RVVDKU) and the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School (DalVOKU).
