Let's take a closer look at these questions.

Day of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

Many years ago, the rear became a separate and independent unit of the armed forces of the state. Every year, celebrating the anniversary of that very day on August 1, the people congratulate the rear fighters. For the normal performance of combat missions, the army must be provided with everything necessary in time, starting with provisions and ending with uniforms, paramilitary reinforcements.

That is why on the Day of Logistics (August 1), the military of this unit accepts sincere congratulations from all the people, and receives the highest awards from the government.

Logistics in Tsarist Russia

The history of the holiday has a centuries-old history, which began under the Great Peter. When the First Regular Russian Army was being created, the tsar issued the “Provision Order” dated August 1, 1700. He became the progenitor of the creation of the rear service. So to this day, August 1 is celebrated as the Day of Logistics. In those days, the supply body was responsible for the supply of bread, cereals, grain fodder to the army. On the same day, another “Special Order” was issued, according to which the Russian army was supplied with uniforms, weapons, salaries, carts and horses.

In 1711, at the direction of Peter I, all supply structures were included in the Russian army. The field administration organized a commissariat responsible for all types of supplies. The accumulated experience during the Northern War was enshrined in the Military Regulations of 1716. Medical care was also provided in the army: at the highest ranks there was a doctor, in the division - a doctor and a staff doctor, in each regiment there was a doctor, and a barber served the company.

The first leaders of the rear units in Russia were such outstanding personalities as General Stepan Apraksin, General Abakumov, statesman Sergei Yazykov and others.

Creation of the Main Logistics Directorate in the USSR

Throughout historyThe rear service has changed and reorganized many times. This continued during the formation of the power of the USSR, right up to the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The lack of leadership in this structure led to fragmented actions, disunity. For waging war in the Soviet Union there was no well-coordinated structure of the rear, all actions were carried out inconsistently. The moment for the country was very responsible. On the initiative of General Khrulev, a centralized rear management system was created.

On the same significant day, that is, August 1 (now Logistics Day), 1941, Commander-in-Chief Stalin signed the Order “On the establishment of the main logistics department of the armed forces of the Red Army”. The post of chief of logistics was introduced, and Andrey Khrulev was appointed to it. He was subordinate to the road administration, the military communications administration, the administration of the supply of combustible materials, sanitation and veterinary medicine. The coherence of the work of all structures under centralized leadership made it possible to establish the necessary support for the army to conduct effective military operations.

Reforms in the rear structure

After the victory in the Great Patriotic War, the country continued to develop organizational structures, technical equipment of the armed forces, improve military equipment and, in general, rear troops. During the formation in 1992 of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, there were also changes in the structure of the rear. During the reforms of 2008, transformations began. Formed a unified system of material andtechnical support. It is built according to the vertical principle - from the military level to the central apparatus. The end result of the reform is the unification of rear structures designed to ensure the supply of material resources to the armed forces, the organization of repairs, the operation of all technical means, military equipment, as well as transportation and communications. The logistics sector is also provided with veterinary and sanitary food control, as well as fire protection.

In 2009, on July 29, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree "On the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the rear." The memorable date was set on August 1. Congratulations on the Home Front Day are now received annually by thousands of employees of this structure. The government always celebrates their services to the Fatherland, rewards the best employees.

Without rear there is no victory

The modern rear service is proud of its three hundred years of history. The favorite phrase of the rear guards "There is no victory without a rear" is often heard both in everyday service and on a holiday at solemn events. Every military person, be it a pilot, infantryman or sailor, is ready to confirm the veracity of this phrase. All service in the army completely depends on the quality of the MTA, because this is the main foundation of the armed forces. Fire safety and heating of buildings, storage of ammunition and the condition of the vehicle fleet, provision of uniforms and provisions are just some of the tasks that are assigned to this structure. More than a hundred thousand tons of ammunition are spent annually on training in the army alone, on feedingmore than seven hundred thousand tons of food is leaving the armed forces.

All this is monitored and answered by logistics specialists. It is worth saying that they rise before everyone else and go to bed not according to the regimen. They are always on guard to continuously provide the army with everything necessary.
