Any state is complexsocio-political structure, which has many characteristic features. At the same time, the main element of any country is society. This fact suggests that the state unites huge masses of people. As we understand, society must not only be used to modernize the country, but also protected. Indeed, without people, in essence, there will be no states. People understood this fundamental principle at all times, which led to the creation of the military sphere of life activity. Its representatives have always enjoyed great honor in society, because everyone understood the importance of their functions. Later, a narrower law-enforcement one separated from the military sector.
Today, these areas of humanactivities are strongly developed in all states without exception. For example, in the Russian Federation there are a lot of various departments and structures that implement the functions of ensuring state and public security. One of them is the troops of the National Guard of Russia. A large number of important tasks are assigned to this structure today. In addition, the troops are a relatively young organization, which will be discussed later in the article.
The internal security of the state, or rather, itsprovision is a priority for most security forces. In this regard, the troops of the National Guard of Russia are a military organization whose main purpose is to maintain security, as well as to ensure the freedoms and rights of citizens of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that such structures today exist in many states, namely: the USA, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Croatia, etc. For a long time, in many CIS countries, internal troops functioned, which became the prototype of the modern national guard units.
The troops of the National Guard of Russia have extremelyinteresting story. The territory of our state, as we know, at all times was far from small. Maintaining order in the country was extremely difficult. Therefore, already at the early stages of the development of the country, organs began to appear that supervised the society and its activities. For example, in the imperial period there were internal guard corps. Units engaged in the collection of taxes and the protection of public order. In 1836, gendarme units were created on the basis of the internal guard.
In the period of development of the Soviet Union functionsNational Guard under the Cheka military detachments. After the Great Patriotic War, special guards formations appeared, which later became the internal troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. They existed until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
As mentioned earlier, modern militarythe organization of the national guard is relatively young. It was formed only in 2016. Prior to this, internal troops were acting on the territory of the Russian Federation, which were the "successors" of similar Soviet units. Today, many believe that the National Guard and VV are the same structures with different names. This statement is a profound delusion. The bottom line is that internal troops are a structural unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. In turn, the National Guard is a military organization that submits to the same department, which is the Federal Service of National Guard troops of the Russian Federation. The spectrum of tasks in this case significantly expands. If before the basis of the activities were the goals set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, today the organization has considerable freedom of activity. This fact is clearly visible if we analyze the tasks of the National Guard troops.
The troops of the National Guard of Russia implement onToday is a fairly wide package of various functional tasks. All of them are aimed at ensuring security. But there are also some specific features. Thus, the main tasks of the National Guard under the following are:
- law enforcement and security;
- protection of objects of state importance;
- organization of the fight against extremism and terrorism on the territory of Russia;
- Ensuring a state of emergency, in case of their direct introduction;
- defense of the territory of Russia;
- Assistance in the work of frontier FSB;
- monitoring compliance with the rule of law in the field of arms trafficking and security activities;
- protection of objects on which a special regime operates.
In accordance with the regulatory documents that will be presented later, the troops may be assigned other tasks, based on the decisions of the President of the Russian Federation.
Any formation whose activitiescarried out directly on the territory of Russia, must have its own regulatory framework. Otherwise, such a structure would be simply illegal. National Guard troops are also subject to the law. The main regulatory sources of the organization are as follows:
- Constitution of the Russian Federation;
- Federal Law “On the Troops of the National Guard of Russia”;
- regulations.
Thus, a special regulatory structure ensures the legality of the activities of the National Guard as an armed or force formation.
Any power organization is system.A well-organized internal structure makes it much more efficient to perform the entire array of functional tasks. In general, the system of the National Guard of the Russian Federation was borrowed from the once-existing explosives of the RF At the same time, the formation is a structural element of a different, more extensive organization. Today it is the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, which has already been mentioned earlier in the article. This body belongs to the security forces, which equates it to special services.
It is worth noting that the immediateThe reform of the structure of the National Guard of Russia continues to this day. The special program of changes is calculated until 2018. The main goal is the introduction of such units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the SOBR and the OMON to the national guard. As for the composition of personnel, it will be filled with people with higher education.
As with any military organization, in the nationalGuard there is a special, elite unit. A separate division of operational assignment is the oldest formation of this type. The number of its personnel is more than ten thousand people. The division is actively used in various special and counterterrorism operations. It should be noted that the representatives of the division also provide public security in the territory of the city of Moscow and the Moscow region together with the police.
Presented in the article military formationhas several ways of picking. To date, the number of troops of the National Guard of Russia is approximately three hundred thousand people. At the same time, the organization provides for both state civil and military service. Thus, completely different types of employees are provided for the implementation of certain functional tasks.
В своей деятельности войска национальной гвардии use different technical means. Speaking directly about weapons, they are represented by copies of Russian and Soviet production. In the activities of the National Guard under the following copies:
- pistols: PM, PMM, GS-18, PSS;
- submachine guns: PP-2000, AEK-919K;
- automatic machines: AK74, AKSU74U;
- sniper rifles: SVU, SVD, VSS, АVVK, etc.
As we see, the equipment of the guard unitGreat for all functional tasks. In addition, the troops of the National Guard of Russia, whose uniform is similar to the Russian Federation's explosives, also have in their custody special equipment, namely armored vehicles, cars, helicopters and airplanes.
It should be noted that the organization presented in the article is equipped with special means. Among these can be attributed weapons to combat sabotage under water.
To date, the National Guard under does not haveofficial symbolism, because it is under development. But given the fact that the organization presented in the article is a “descendant” of the internal troops, the symbols of these structures will most likely be similar.
The emblem of the troops of the National Guard of Russia today exists in the outline. She is a golden double-headed eagle with a crown on her head.
So, we tried to consider the featuresstructure and technical equipment of the National Guard troops. Hopefully, in this military organization, the process of reform will end and it will become a fully operational unit that will protect the rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation.
