3. General Vladimir Shamanov in the Chechen campaign

The snow-capped mountains, on the slope of one of which is the village of Laha-Varanda, still pose a danger. Every day shots are heard from nearby heights: they are working Chechen snipers. From there, groups of militants are trying to break through the military barrier from the mountains. Army sappers place mines on their paths, leaving small passages for their own.

Before my eyes, a detachment of flamethrowers in white camouflage suits went on a special mission to the not yet liberated village of Pionerskoye. It is located 500 meters from Laha Varanda. “Immediately open salvo fire,” the commander gives the final instructions. “Then take positions.”

The situation, I must admit, is difficult,” says the commander of the Shamanov group. “The troops cannot move forward yet.” This is due to the general situation in Chechnya. The pockets of resistance of the bandits narrowed sharply, and this was clearly visible in Grozny and in the mountainous territory of the republic. Mountains interfere with the maneuvers of armed forces: there are impassable places, and crevices and caves serve as good shelter for bandits. The actions of aviation and artillery here are not so effective. Plus, difficult weather conditions. There are fogs and frosts for weeks. The other day, one of the units was conducting reconnaissance in the area of ​​the Wolf Gate. The guys began to climb to a height of 800 meters above sea level. There are icy slopes, visibility is about a hundred meters, no more.

In 1922 he graduated from the Higher academic courses at the Military Academy named after M. V. Frunze. During the interwar period, from October 1922, M. N. Gerasimov served in Western Front, then in the Belarusian Military District: assistant commander of the 5th Infantry Division, from October 1923 - commander of the 33rd Infantry Division. In 1928 he graduated from the Advanced Training Course for Senior Commanders at the Military Academy named after M. V. Frunze. From January 1930 - assistant inspector, then deputy inspector of the Red Army Physical Training Inspectorate. From January 1934 - Deputy Inspector of the Red Army Infantry, from November 1935 - Deputy Chief of the 2nd Department of the General Staff of the Red Army. November 26, 1935, with the introduction of personal military ranks The commanding staff of the Red Army, M. N. Gerasimov, was awarded the rank of “brigade commander”. From April 1936 - assistant to the head of the Combat Training Directorate of the Red Army. On June 4, 1940, after the establishment of general ranks in the Red Army, M. N. Gerasimov was awarded the rank of “lieutenant general.” Since July 9, 1940 - commander of the 19th Rifle Corps in the Leningrad Military District.

For several months, Major Gerasimov parted ways with his combat tank friends: the command, seeing him as a promising officer, sent him to courses at the Academy of Armored and Mechanized Forces. Ivan Aleksandrovich ended the war as chief of staff of the 32nd Separate Guards Tank Brigade, which subsequently took part in battles on the Far Eastern Front.

In the post-war years, General I.A. Gerasimov commanded a division, an army, the Northern Group of Forces, and was the commander of the Kyiv Military District for almost 10 years. Before finishing his military service, he was Commander-in-Chief of the South-Western Direction for more than 4 years.

The General Staff (General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces) is the unit commanding the troops of the Russian Federation. He also plans actions to protect the country from external invasion, establishes a hierarchy of military units and performs other duties that are prescribed for this body by the Council of the Ministry of Defense.

The General Staff of the RF Armed Forces is federal body and reports directly to the Ministry of Defense. The main task of the unit is considered to be the protection of state borders and intelligence activities.

History of the creation and reforms of the headquarters

The Ministry of Defense arose a year after the collapse of the USSR. It used the standards and part of the resources of the USSR Ministry of Defense. By decree of the Ministry, the General Staff was formed. However, the day of the formation of the modern General Staff is not celebrated as a holiday.

The official holiday of the General Staff employees is associated with an event from long history, when Catherine II founded the first General Staff in Russia on January 14 (old style), 1763. By order of the Minister of Defense dated January 30, 2002, this day is celebrated on January 25 annually.

In 2004, a reform was carried out within the ministry, as a result of which functions (administrative, economic) that did not correspond to its tasks were removed from the General Staff.

The military conflict with Georgia in 2008 accelerated the reform of the Russian Armed Forces, its goal was to optimize management. As part of the reform, two basic sets of tasks within the ministry were identified:

1. Planning for the use and construction of aircraft.
2. Economic and strategic calculations for providing military units.

A clear distinction was made between the administrative responsibilities of the General Staff units:

1. Training activities and training of fighters are the responsibility of the main command of the troops.
2. Operational work is the prerogative of the General Staff and the joint strategic commands.

The reform made it possible to rid the General Staff of secondary functions that were performed by other bodies. The General Staff became an exclusively strategic body aimed at solving military problems. A striking example such a task is .

The Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces acts as Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Defense. Since 2012, the position of Chief Staff of the RF Armed Forces has been occupied by V.V. Gerasimov. This is the eighth chief since the formation of the modern General Staff. The NGSH has a deputy appointed in 2014 - N.V. Bogdanovsky.
