Where will Russia get officers for the new 400 contract soldiers in the RF Armed Forces

71

Information leaked to the domestic press that from April 1, 2023, the next stage of increasing the number of the RF Armed Forces may begin in Russia. That's just, in contrast to the September partial mobilization, the recruitment of new professional servicemen should take place on a strictly voluntary basis, on a contract basis. This message requires a comprehensive understanding.

War is for the young


Just a few days ago edition URA.RU, citing its own informed source, shared an insider that a campaign to attract new recruits to the RF Armed Forces will begin on April 1:



By the end of the year, it is planned to recruit about 400 professional soldiers to the Armed Forces throughout the country. Corresponding inputs have already been sent to the regions, the governors are conducting preparatory work.

It is reported that a preliminary decision was made back in December, when Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced the need to make the Russian army more numerous and professional, and covert training began in February. The work of attracting new contractors is shifted to the shoulders of the governors of the regions, who have lowered certain quotas. The military registration and enlistment offices will directly conclude agreements with the new servicemen from the Ministry of Defense, which should interact with the heads of regions on the rights of their “deputies”. According to URA.RU, Dmitry Medvedev, ex-president of the Russian Federation, and now deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has been appointed project coordinator.

Well, if this information is confirmed soon, this decision can only be welcomed. The partial mobilization carried out six months ago was able for some time to provide a semblance of parity with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and even out the situation on the fronts, making it possible to prevent a guaranteed repetition of the disaster in the Kharkiv direction somewhere in the Zaporozhye region. It is very symptomatic that Dmitry Anatolyevich was appointed to oversee the process, which may indicate confirmation of his status as a possible successor to President Putin or "reserve candidate". If Medvedev copes with the task, is able to recruit, dress, shoe and arm 400 professional soldiers who will ensure a turning point on the Ukrainian fronts, this will be a plus for his karma.

However, with all the positives from this newsIf, of course, it is true, some questions arise that require adequate answers. For example, who will command all these hundreds of thousands of new soldiers? Where can we get an additional 400-40 thousand officers for 50 thousand contract soldiers, given the losses of the RF Armed Forces in the NVO zone?

Only old people go into battle?


In one of our previous publications, we told, what a terrible damage to the system of Russian military education was caused by the so-called "reforms" of the Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov. Under the "feldmebel" more than 70 military educational institutions were closed, of which his successor in office, Sergei Shoigu, restored only six. For the second year in a row, the effect of the country's loss of a professional officer training system has been acutely felt in the NVO zone in Ukraine.

It would seem that as early as 2022, fundamental decisions should have been made to restore closed military schools, and from 2023 they should have already begun to revive, if not all at once, but comprehensively and systematically. However, this is not happening yet. It comes to the point that the participants of the special operation are forced to ask the Big Bosses about it themselves, using all the methods available to them.

So, the commander of the Chechen special forces "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov, on the air of the federal television channel, drew attention to the need to restore artillery schools, since, in his words, artillerymen now get to the front completely untrained. TV presenter and propagandist Vladimir Solovyov said that he supported the request of military personnel from Yekaterinburg to assist in the restoration of the Yekaterinburg Artillery School, which was disbanded in 2011, and the creation of a military-political school:

They help this part a lot <…> The guys are wonderful! This is from the city of military labor glory, and not from the city of demons. This is from the correct Yekaterinburg.

Russian soldiers (!) were forced to write a petition to Senator Turchak on this issue. Well done guys, but the question is why do they even have to do such things?

Obviously, Defense Minister Shoigu sees the problem of training military specialists in a slightly different light. As we told in article dated December 29, 2022, Sergey Kuzhugetovich himself made a proposal to increase the number of military training centers (VUTs), or military departments, last November. Apparently, as a graduate of the military department, he sincerely believes that this level of training is quite enough. I would like to note that the VUC is, of course, better than nothing, but definitely not a replacement for a military school and, even more so, a military academy. They need to be restored, and soon!

The problem is that the NWO has been going on for the second year, and Russia simply does not have time to build up. Those who enter military universities today will be ready only in a few years. We need solutions based on the principle of here and now. There are two options for firefighting.

The first is the widespread opening of accelerated training courses for junior lieutenants without interrupting combat practice. Experienced fighters are now being fired from officer positions from the former People's Militia of the LDNR only because, unlike Sergei Kuzhugetovich, they do not even have a military department behind them. So it is necessary to give everyone who wants the opportunity to retrain as an officer in an expedited manner.

The second is to raise the age of conscription for junior and senior officers. Exclusively at their own request and taking into account the state of health of veterans who have gone through the Soviet military school, they could be involved as volunteers in the process of training young people.

The very process of reorganization of the Russian army can proceed as follows. It is most expedient to send replacements to already successfully fighting units, where the process of training and combat coordination will take place much faster than in the rear. In parallel with this, it is necessary to create reserves in the rear, forming new cadre units from already experienced commanders and fighters, where those mobilized would be sent for training at the training grounds in order to be able to carry out a planned rotation at the front.

    I wanted to put in my three cents ... and then I thought: what the hell? As a result of the SVO, such an "everest" of shit was opened, erected by the post-Soviet ruling regimes of Yeltsin and .... that you involuntarily lose faith in a "better future for Russia"! Moreover, many facts are being revealed about the "conservation" of the unsightly phenomena that have been revealed in the "reconstruction" of the economy and the armed forces!

      A very correct and timely question.

      Obviously, Defense Minister Shoigu sees the problem of training military specialists in a slightly different light.

      And it doesn't matter how this "key" looks, but for ordinary Russians, it's time to think about their preparedness for hostilities. It is not a fact that you will be lucky to get into a period when there is time, opportunity and position at the front, for full preparation for hostilities. And once on the front line, after a couple of shootings, he will gradually think that there was an opportunity to get acquainted with the "Science of Survival". In addition to the relevant literature, there may be a need to stray into "NVP" societies, involving in their ranks people who have real, combat experience and prepare themselves for "survival in the war." Even if we assume that this does not affect you, knowledge about life in emergency situations will not interfere with outdoor activities. In any case, such training will become your internal, "insurance policy".
      By the way, discharged officers with specific combat experience can become ideal instructors for such societies.

      Not only this. The air defense corps were disbanded - Rzhevsky, Yaroslavsky, Gorky (with air regiments, air defense systems, RTV brigades with their r / technical centers and low-altitude companies). The air defense system was destroyed - the radar field covering the southern, north = western and central industrial zones.
      And further. Is it because the low activity of our aviation is largely due to the fact that Bandera at one time did not find their own "Taburetkin"? The Soviet air defense system works for them - and it works actively (which means that not only "galoshes" were able to be made in the USSR).
      They drag "Shells" onto the roofs of skyscrapers in Moscow. But these "farts" can only cover local objects (the conflict in Syria will not let you lie).
      The question is different. And what did the "foreman" with a construction education do? And his five deputies - "jackets"? Woodcarving, roaming the taiga, fishing, tank "ballet" - what? Rhetoric...

    Fortune telling on coffee grounds. Someone said something and on this unsteady basis, as much as a whole.
    But the fact that Putin has already signed a decree on the recruitment of an additional 140 thousand contract soldiers, the author modestly "forgot".
    So the recruitment of contractors is already underway and has never stopped.
    As well as recruiting volunteers.
    The author needs to operate with facts, not gossip.
    For example, such facts - conscripts are allowed to conclude a contract after six months of service.
    Foreigners are allowed to conclude a contract for one year. Before two.
    We can only agree with the thesis whether Russia is able to provide everything necessary for all the newly called.
    Apparently, therefore, a new mobilization is not carried out, although it is absolutely clear that the available forces are not enough to carry out strategic offensive operations.

    It’s too late to drink Borjomi when the kidneys have fallen off. Unless you can start preparing officers for the next war. And the newly minted lieutenants will already be late for this war. Already Europe and the United States (they already consider themselves unambiguously winners and are already fully preparing to restore Ukraine - the Russian Federation "failed" and, as they wanted, weakened, not to mention Ukraine, where 87% of people according to statistics confidently declare this, which, in general, is the case at the moment - Ukraine, as a relatively independent state, has withstood and this is the highest value for Ukrainians) are clearly looking for and trying with the Russian Federation (in general, a heavenly dream for a significant part of the Russian elite) to find an acceptable agreement mechanism ( so that the Russians don’t look like they’ve been wiped out in mud and try to announce a victory in the so-called SVO, for example, if possible, the liberation of Donbass to the end). less problematic places they will have to.
    So, regardless of the results of the spring-summer campaign (the Russian Federation can win limited victories with titanic efforts under the condition of serious tension, but no more, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the opportunity to succeed much more significantly than the RF Armed Forces), the situation will completely come to naught even without tactical movements, such as Bakhmut, to rare skirmishes along the line of demarcation between the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and even without any possible signing of papers between themselves, it will completely subside. Therefore, these possible future lieutenants not only do not have time to "ripen", but they will not be needed in large quantities .

    The most important thing is that the main contingent has no desire to fight, including the leadership has no desire to think. But there is hope that everything will somehow work out and it is better not to be particularly active (they will still be sent to Avdiyivka) .. The only incentive is money. He is strong, but not omnipotent, and it is doubtful to count on the flow of volunteers. As for schools, the best indicator is that Serdyukov is still blooming and smelling.

    we need not just officers, but commanders, field commanders, preferably literate, preferably with experience. not everyone with a military rank is a commander, few have combat experience. It is possible to collect those with the rank of retirees, but I myself would not go with such and would not advise others - is Makeevka not enough for you? training to prepare in a short time is unrealistic. as far as I understand, there are no cropped parts now. I see the only logical and reasonable way out - to assign extraordinary ranks to those who are already there, distinguished themselves and transfer to a commanding position.

      Here is the answer - field commanders. These are the ones that were in Chechnya-Ichkeria 20-25 years ago. Heads cut off and all that. We must ask Kadyrov to find them and send them who is still alive. Yes, they were on the other side, but Kadyrov was also there - and what good was he.
      This will close part of the problem. The Taliban also have field commanders. Let's not forget about Syria, no matter with what sign. This is another part.
      In Venezuela, it’s not quite the same - there are rather leaders of criminal groups, but they are also skilled people with leadership qualities. The question is whether they want to, that's what worries.

    Everything can be solved, all the tasks of increasing the size and combat capability of the army and navy can be fulfilled, the main thing is that the Kremlin should realize the unacceptability and danger of the option of temporary reconciliation with the Ukronazis. So far, apparently, they are counting on just such an option: ours will go to the administrative borders of the LDNR and then bargaining with the States will begin to conclude the status quo on the conditions - everyone remains where they have troops. The danger of this "pacification" is, first of all, that a NATO contingent will either enter the territory controlled by the Kiev regime, or the Poles will enter privately, that is, Russia will receive a NATO foothold even more dangerous and combat-ready than before the start of the NWO. Endless sabotage, provocations, long-range shelling will begin, not to mention how much the maintenance of the army will cost. For sure, a new front will appear in Transnistria, in Syria, in Nagorno-Karabakh, in Belarus. At the end of the year, NWO, NATO saw with their own eyes our weaknesses in the planning and organization of hostilities, in the laxity of the rear and the limited potential of the military-industrial complex, and will no longer rock, but sink the boat. It seems that the Kremlin does not take this into account and is leading the matter to a truce on the terms "Donbass remains with us." It is this course, in my opinion, that is the shortest path to nuclear war, since the Russian Federation will not have other forces and means to contain NATO pressure on all fronts. In fact, victory and collapse are now in the hands of the Russian leadership. A strategic miscalculation with the hope of benefiting from a "truce with war" will cost Russia the price of its existence.

      That's just if NATO enters, there will be no shelling.
      As they are not on the border with Estonia and Latvia.
      Everything is too serious, they fired at the Russian Federation - they received it in response - they killed a NATO soldier - and what should NATO do?
      For "private order", the Poles must first leave NATO, which they will not do.

        Civilians are outraged by the herds of office shoulder straps - senior officers.

        Although it would seem that everything is simple - until the age of 35-40, officers command companies and receive 300 thousand, after 40 - a pension + transfer to office positions and a salary of 100 thousand.

          The quote is taken from the book of a combat officer who has wounds and several shell shocks. The question in the article is put quite correctly: "where to get a thousand or two platoon and company commanders"? Not from the reserve, but from really trained commanders. Not those who simply wear shoulder straps, but know how to fight?

          There was a proposal to nominate distinguished privates and sergeants. For accelerated courses and "two head over heels on a buttonhole."

Because for the entire time I was in the reserve (29 years), I have never been called up for a training camp. I’m already silent that you can’t ride the front line as a young goat at our age!

    And now this leadership, which assessed Taburetkin's activities as very effective, will personally supervise the work of restoring order in the RF Armed Forces.

    The distinguished veterans among the militia of the DPR and LPR and also the distinguished fighters of the veterans of the Z, V and O groups should be appointed as officers. The problem, by and large, is solved in this way.

      I agree, it is useless to rearrange the beds in the Khokhlyatsky brothel. This brothel, along with all the pimps and prostitutes, must be completely demolished.

    The author agrees 80%. There are significant casualties among the officers. During military conflicts, the loss of officers is always and everywhere.
    Military departments are certainly not a military school, but also a good help.
    Regarding officer courses, this is a "bucket of water" in case of fire ..
    Probably, S.K. or Gerasimov are already thinking about this issue.
    You say yourself that the issue has been worked out for a long time

    EBN disbanded 25 military schools, DAM disbanded 29 schools, GDP - 12. This is all according to the open press. There are constant reproaches to Serdyukov, but what could he do without the approval of the GDP. Yes, and DAM, mentioned in the article, hardly tried alone - everyone knows that GDP loomed behind him. That is, GDP plus DAM - 41 disbanded schools. They would take an example from the Japanese - they have 2,5 officers per private, that is, the Japanese can quickly deploy a multimillion-strong army. And we even have 1,5 million sets of uniforms (so they write!) gone somewhere! And it is not heard that they were looking for and someone was pinched for it. About some drones, means of communication, etc. and so on. may not be remembered. The main thing is parades on Red Square and tank biathlons!

    So, how long are we going to fight? And for what purpose? There was no one to fight with, and they reduced everything, artillerymen too. And somehow they lived, officers, however, parquet, there are a lot. But the combat, professionals are not mae. I don’t understand why Donetsk people who went through fire and water are being fired. They would have theory courses for three months, and that's it. And to put themselves as teachers of the "science of survival" and military skill, there is no price! It means that they see no such task at the top. And there is experience in accelerated training - the Great Patriotic War, take it and do it. So no need. But it is necessary to train "Smershevites" and the military police, and administrative and economic officers. But this is if there is a goal to reach the Polish border. If the goal is different, then ... these are enough for now.

    A lot of people talk about Serdyukov .. he is to blame .. And who claimed Serdyukov? Isn't it Putin? Shoigu has been in charge of the Ministry for 10 years, and there is a mess, a mess. Isn't it Putin? Who has been ruling the country for almost 30 years and constantly blames all the failures on someone? Isn't it Putin? Who allowed Russia to be plundered by foreigners, and even to participate there? Isn't it Putin? Who is always someone to blame, everything, but not him - is it not Putin?
    How many "sudden inspections of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" were shown to us .. peppy, rhythmic, beautiful .... But in fact, there is no proper communication, no intelligence, there are simply few tanks ... the command is ossified and blinkered, allowing heavy losses ...

    Just a few days ago, URA.RU, citing its own informed source, shared an insider that a campaign to attract new recruits to the RF Armed Forces will begin on April 1

    This process is actually ongoing. The problem is that you need to recruit a sufficient number of applicants (and this is quite difficult, especially qualified specialists), provide subunits and units with command personnel, create the necessary modern "material and technical" base for units and formations ... How ???

    Everyone knows everything. What to do?

    The second is to raise the age of conscription for junior and senior officers.

    Does the author have a military department? If there is, then only a personal example will help save the army, take command of a motorized rifle platoon. Others will follow you.

    The desire to win a war comes when there is hope for a better life after that.

    So right now it's saying that everything is fine for the moment, but we have to prepare for the war for tomorrow...

    Which does not contribute to the formation of the right spirit of harmony.

    Where can we get an additional 400-40 thousand officers for 50 thousand contract soldiers, given the losses of the RF Armed Forces in the NVO zone?

    please tell us how many officers will be involved, and where?

    when I served in the SA it was like this (approximately): a company / 3 platoons of 30-40 “fighters”, foreman, 3 platoon commanders, 1 captain of a commander, I was a political officer - I don’t remember ... well, then battalions, regiment - there are majors , lieutenant colonels, colonels. political officers, deputy commanders. further, in my opinion, we had a brigade. in the fleet there were two Volgas, or even three ... well, in any case, there were 2 generals. Rafik and LAZ were - i.e. 70 more officers - staff officers, doctors ... I won’t say how many officers plowed at us in the rear.
    and there was also the beginning of the guardhouse.

    and here it turns out 1 to 8-10.

    You cannot send messages to this user, because he limits the circle of people who can send him messages.

    Sergey "limited" me. That's why I'm answering here.
    If we assume that my great-great-great.... grandfather served 20 years in the Russian army in the 19th century, then I am from a military dynasty, albeit with interruptions. The last three generations of my family are officers. Putin and Shoyne are not required to be military personnel under the Law and the Constitution.

    Troops are needed now, then they will no longer be needed. Officers should be taught by LDNR military with combat experience. Drive old teachers out of schools - they know nothing about modern warfare.

    All these attempts are meaningless in relation to the NWO. Now we need to win quickly - by striking the bridges across the Dnieper in order to cut off their supply. There is no other way to win. It is time for our generals to understand this.

    And then you will cross the Dnieper in a tunic, inflated with a bubble, like grandfathers and great-grandfathers?

    What's with the stupid idea about bridges? I can still understand about bridges-tunnels somewhere in the Zapadenschina... But if through the Dnieper, then the proposer simply does not know how to think.

    Yes, we train marshals at short-term courses of the VAGSh))), and without secondary and higher military education ... So, a couple of days at the training ground are enough to train an officer (((Although why train them? They drove pensioners into poverty (as, indeed, all the main people), crying enough about the opportunity to earn extra money (sometimes at the cost of their lives) .... many themselves will go out of hopelessness (((
