Acquaintance
The rear of the Armed Forces is a connecting link between the army and the economy of the state, an integral part of the country's defense potential. In other words, T. BC. It is an effective, well-coordinated mechanism: products produced by the rear services are used directly by the army and navy. Logistics Day of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - August 1. T. BC functioned from 1991 to 2010. After the structural reorganization, the MTO Armed Forces system (Logistics of the Armed Forces) began to operate.
How it all began?
The first elements of the rear of the army appeared in the XVII century. Until the 70s, the functions of the armed forces were carried out by various non-military departments and private entrepreneurs. According to experts, the organization of military campaigns was at various merchants (Markitans). In the XVIII century, the supply was also carried out according to the store system. The formation of a regular army, the increase in the scale of hostilities, as well as the emergence of new methods of warfare, became the impetus for the formation of special full-time units, units and institutions whose task is to provide centralized support for troops separately by arms. Thus, state-owned warehouses appeared, from which the regular army and navy of Russia were supplied at the state level. The experience of military operations made a significant contribution to the development of the rear support system. The system has been intensively improved. Soon, the military command created a unified commandant service, developed new ways of transporting material assets from warehouses to military units. By World War I, several army bases, front-line distribution and discharge stations were created. In the 20th century, with the advent of tanks, there was a need for rear services responsible for the delivery of fuel and lubricants to the battlefield.
About the work of the rear in the Great Patriotic War
In 1918, the Central Procurement Office was created in the Red Army. The management of units, institutions and rear services was carried out by the supply managers. According to experts, a breakthrough in the improvement of T. BC took place during the Great Patriotic War.
A large volume of tasks was set before the Rear, which the rear services successfully dealt with. At the beginning of hostilities created a centralized rear. In 1942, the posts of corps and division chiefs appeared. Throughout the war, T. Armed Forces delivered to the Red Army ammunition, the total weight of which was at least 10 million tons, fuel - 16 million, food and forage - 40 million, uniform sets for personnel - 70 million units. Road forces restored roads with a length of at least 100 thousand km, railways - 120 thousand km. At the disposal of Soviet aviation were aerodromes numbering more than 6 thousand. They were also equipped with rear service personnel of the USSR Armed Forces. The military medical service and medical institutions returned 72% of the wounded soldiers back into service.
On the mission of T. BC in peacetime
Units and units of the rear of the Armed Forces ensure the constant and mobilization readiness of the army. The rear structures are equipped with modern material and technical means, due to which it is possible to provide the army in a timely and complete manner with the most necessary for maintaining the state's defense capability. Due to the fact that a rocket or aircraft cannot be conditionally refueled with fuel, and a soldier cannot be equipped, in peacetime training tasks for the rear of the Armed Forces are not provided. In the absence of military operations, the services of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces carry out the threefold task: military units and formations are supplied with food and clothing for military personnel. In addition, the rear services monitor the health of soldiers.
