Short story 5th separate brigade special purpose


The first paratroopers appeared here, in the Belarusian hinterland, back in 1940. It was the 214th airborne relocated from Western Belarus. In March 1941, the brigade was reorganized, and the 4th Airborne Forces was formed on its basis with a location in Maryina Gorka. Then there was a war, all over Belarus partisans fought against the invaders. And again the sky was painted with white domes only in 1963.
Based on the directive of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR No. 140547 dated July 19, 1962, the 5th separate brigade special purpose. Her birthday was January 1, 1963.

The backbone was made up of officers who arrived from the one-year courses of the Military Diplomatic Academy and intelligence units of the district. Soldiers and sergeants who had served at least two years in the special forces arrived here. A total of 137 people, including participants in the Great Patriotic War and local conflicts.

The new connection also faced new unusual tasks. In service potential adversary the means of nuclear attack. The USSR Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Soviet Army developed and implemented the idea of ​​creating a mobile and effective sabotage and reconnaissance force. All created brigades were directly subordinate to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff. In the event of a military conflict, the formations had to strike at enemy strategic targets, conduct reconnaissance, deploy a partisan movement on enemy territory, and disorganize command and control of troops and the work of its rear.

The solution of such large-scale tasks required intense combat training. Already in May, the personnel began to master parachute jumps with fall stabilization up to five seconds and jumps from An-2, An-12, Li-2 aircraft. For several months, the unit was prepared for combat operations in any conditions. The servicemen showed high proficiency at the first test.

November 19, 1964 Chief of Staff of the BVO Lieutenant General N. Ogarkov, later Marshal Soviet Union, handed over the Battle Banner to the brigade commander, Colonel I. Kovalevsky.
By 1965, the 5th Special Purpose Brigade had become a strong combat-ready body. In subsequent years, it increased its power, improved the organizational and staff structure. In May 1968, her staff was introduced special company mining. The brigade for eight years (1975-1982) had an "excellent" rating on all checks and exercises.
The year 1978 became especially memorable for the special forces soldiers. 22 departments, 14 groups, 3 companies, 2 detachments were rated "excellent" at the end of the year. And in the same 1978, the connection received a new name - the 5th separate special-purpose brigade. The title "separate" was a recognition of the high skill of the soldiers and officers of the unit.
The history of the brigade is, first of all, people, their characters, their destinies. Everyone has their own baggage of soul, knowledge and intellect. The names of all are kept by our grateful memory. The museum of the unit contains materials that tell about amazing creators devoted to the interests of the service. Bit by bit collected and created! material base for the training of intelligence soldiers, new facilities were built, the combat capability of the unit was strengthened. The main thing that rallied people from the first days of the founding of our team is diligence, humanity, decency, justice, concern for common cause desire to perform tasks in the best possible way.

Each person left his mark in strengthening the combat capability of the brigade, improving the soldier's life. Each was an example of devotion to the Motherland and the army. People served with full dedication of strength, knowledge for the sake of raising a worthy replacement for veterans. The brigade has always been one big family- and on holidays, and on weekdays, and in joy, and in sorrow. The feeling of an elbow, military partnership never left the scouts of the 5th ObrSpN. Surprisingly united in combat skills, mutual assistance was a multinational team. For special forces are a way of life.
With such commanders, officers and ensigns, our successes in. combat training were significant. In recent years, the brigade has successfully solved the assigned tasks. Eleven times she was awarded the challenge Red Banner of the Military Council of the Belarusian Red Banner Military District and the pennant of the "Best Intelligence Unit of the District". The pennant was left in the unit forever. Our scouts took part in many exercises - and everywhere they showed themselves to be real fighters, professionals, coped with any task, did not drop the honor of the army special forces.
In the 1970-1980s. Maryinogorsk brigade was a testing ground Soviet troops. Everything newest species GRU of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR tested special forces weapons and equipment in the quiet Maryina Gorka.
Much has been done in the brigade for the development of intelligence. As part of the 5th arr. of the Special Forces, a unique and most elite special forces unit appeared - a special special-purpose company. It consisted only of officers and ensigns, well-trained professionals. The company was intended to perform particularly important tasks in the interests of the GRU. The best of the best were selected. knowledge was required foreign languages. The soldiers took a course in light diving training under the training program naval special forces, mountain training, trike pilot course and much more.
In 1989, recognizing the peculiarities and professionalism of the unit, the Minister of Defense of the USSR allowed the company to have its own personal sleeve insignia - a black fox and a badge. For the Soviet Army, this was an extraordinary event. "Afghans" served in the detachment, there were athletes - dischargers and masters of sports in military applied sports.
Until 1991, the special company reached the highest level of training for officers and ensigns. It corresponded to the level of training of the Vympel special forces detachment of the KGB of the USSR.
But unfortunately, not only in the exercises, the special forces from Maryina Gorka had to apply their knowledge. Afghanistan became a separate unforgettable page in the history of the brigade. Hundreds of reports from officers, ensigns and soldiers with a request to be sent "across the river" lay on the command table with the beginning afghan war. And many of them continued to serve in the Jalalabad and Lashkargah special forces brigades operating in Afghanistan.

From March 1985 to May 1988, the 334th separate special forces detachment formed on the basis of the brigade also fought there. On his account, 250 military exits, in which about 3,000 Mujahideen were destroyed, thousands of weapons were captured.

Victories were won not only by skill, but also by blood. The memory of one hundred and five was immortalized by a stele erected in the unit in 1986. 124 scouts were seriously wounded, the war marked 339 fighters with light wounds.
Cavalier of three orders, Captain Pavel Bekoev, a participant in over a hundred military operations, died, raising soldiers to attack. As always, he was ahead... Senior Lieutenant Igor Tupik, twice wounded, surrounded by enemies, called fire on himself. Lieutenant Nikolai Kuznetsov, seriously wounded, covered the retreat of his subordinates with fire. With the last grenade, he blew himself up and the dushmans surrounding him.
In 1985, he was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, his name is permanently included in the lists of the unit.
It was the 334th detachment in 1988 that was given the honor of being the first to leave Afghanistan. In the future, a training detachment was created on its basis.

Our soldiers, ensigns and officers were faithful to the comradeship and oath to the end. Motherland. The memory of them must be passed on from generation to generation, and only then can we look into the future with sovereignty and educate worthy sons of our Motherland. The memory of the war must negate the war, arouse disgust for it.
Remembering is terrible and painful, but it is impossible to forget. You must remember forever!

On August 2, 1999, in memory of those who went through the hell of Afghanistan, in memory of the fallen soldiers of the 334th detachment of the Special Forces, a renovated memorial complex was opened.
In 1990, from January 24 to March 3, by order of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, the 5th ObrSpN, almost in full force (805 special forces), carried out a government task to stabilize the situation in the Armenian SSR. The brigade was commanded by Colonel V. Borodach.
The beginning of the nineties became difficult for the sons of the brigade. Here is the collapse of the USSR, the transfer of many to serve in Russia and Ukraine. They were in demand and went to other power structures. Fate has thrown some of them to Transnistria and Tajikistan, Yugoslavia, Angola and Libya. But wherever the fate of the sons of the 5th arr. Special Forces threw them, they never dropped the honor of the special forces, at any place in any position they showed themselves with dignity, fulfilled their duty to the end, because a special forces soldier is a strong character, concentrated will and the ability to take risks, carry out their task to the bitter end. Special forces are born to win.
Despite everything, the brigade has not broken up, it lives and improves. On December 31, 1992, former Soviet special forces swore allegiance to White Russia. The 5th ObrSpN has become the most elite part of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.
Of particular note is the amazing tradition of our brigade. We can safely say that such a continuity of generations and such a number of dynasties, as in our brigade, is nowhere else. The brigade became small homeland and home for hundreds of people on long years. Their fathers gave them devotion and loyalty to their Fatherland and special forces.
Getting into the brigade today is not so easy. The recruits here are subject to a rigorous selection process. Only physically strong, hardy people can serve in special forces, capable of covering tens of kilometers off-road with full combat gear, spending many hours without sleep and rest, when the main thing is to complete the task. Therefore, in high esteem in the brigade of sports. There are many dischargers and craftsmen among the servicemen. But the main thing that distinguishes a special forces soldier is the moral core, fortitude. And this helps patriotic and spiritual and moral education, the cultivation of the rich traditions of the brigade.
In 1997, by order of the President of the Republic of Belarus, a non-standard center for patriotic education of youth in the Minsk region was created on the basis of the brigade. In cooperation with local authorities, the regional council of veterans, work is systematically carried out on the patriotic education of the personnel of the unit. Students of Maryinogorsk secondary schools and educational institutions Minsk region.
way of life military service, training in a brigade has a number of features: shoot, blow up, drive, fly, jump - all this is learned by fighters. The main direction is reconnaissance and sabotage work. In the brigade they teach diving, carry out gatherings for hang gliders. Studying goes on from morning to evening in classrooms, at shooting ranges, and training grounds. Fighters are trained to perform extremely important tasks in a combat situation, when units and individual groups it is necessary to operate in the rear, in isolation from the main forces, to independently make the most unexpected and bold decisions. Therefore, every warrior must become a professional, have an impeccable command of weapons, know the subversive business, and master the techniques perfectly. hand-to-hand combat, to be decisive, self-possessed, quick-witted. A spetsnaz reconnaissance officer must know and love a parachute, be able to jump from an airplane, helicopter at any time of the day, in any weather and on any terrain.
This is the peculiarity of the training of Belarusian special forces. In addition, scouts learn to overcome any obstacles (impassable swamps, water barriers, forests), quietly and imperceptibly cover a route of 50-70 kilometers, suddenly and skillfully capture the specified object, and destroy it.

During the exercise, groups of scouts leave for 10 days across rough, unknown terrain. Fighters are very fond of field exits, where they have the opportunity to show resourcefulness, endurance, to prove to themselves and commanders in practice what they are capable of and what they have learned. This increases self-esteem and makes one strive to improve combat skills.
Young officers and soldiers are trained by real masters of military affairs. The brigade has all the conditions for training in the art of war. Young people are given the opportunity for the harmonious development of their personality, the acquisition of a civilian specialty. The compound has language classes for learning foreign languages, a stadium, a club, fitness equipment, computers... The barracks are cozy and have a decent life. We respect sports. Soldiers and officers are engaged in taekwondo, Russian wrestling. There are sportsmen for taekwondo and rock climbing. Serious educational work is being carried out in the state-legal, patriotic, spiritual and moral areas. Everything is done to ensure that the military personnel are physically and morally strong, understand their place and role in ensuring the security of the Republic of Belarus. In July 2001, special tactical training competitions were held for the championship of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, where the "partisans" of Maryina Gorka earned high marks. “I would go on reconnaissance with these guys,” said Lieutenant General Nikolai Kostenko about a group of special forces of the Hero of Russia brigade. In the fifth brigade, they retained all the best, and are building up their professionalism.

In October 2001, an international seminar-competition on sniper training. It was attended by representatives special units Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic and Belarus.
2001 In the 5th ObrSpN, state tests of sights for small arms were carried out.
The major exercises of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus "Berezina-2002" proved that the professionalism of spetsnaz intelligence officers is growing and is acquired by intense military labor. The overall assessment of the brigade is “good”.

September 12, 2002 - a historic date in the life of the brigade. A long-awaited, joyful, unforgettable day. On this day, the brigade received the President of the country and its Commander-in-Chief A. G. Lukashenko. I
The head of state solemnly presented the brigade commander with the Battle Banner with Belarusian symbols.
But before this solemn moment came, the head of state visited a military shooting range, where he got acquainted with the peculiarities of the combat training of scouts, their professional skills during special events, and modern weapons.
The President of the Republic of Belarus laid flowers at the monument to the soldiers-internationalists, met with veterans of the unit.
Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko thanked the personnel and veterans of the brigade for their military work: “Your professional experience It is worth a lot, it is needed by today's generation of Belarusian soldiers-special forces. It is in the continuity of generations and traditions that the strength of the special forces lies.
In July 2003, competitions of the Reconnaissance groups of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus were held on the basis of the 5th arr.
All prize-winning places were taken by groups of Special Forces of the brigade. In the summer of 2003, the reconnaissance brigade took part in the competitions of reconnaissance groups of the Special Forces on the basis of the 2nd brigade of the Special Forces of the Leningrad Military District. Careful development of the operation, excellent physical and psychological preparation scouts allowed them to become fourth.

For high professional excellence, courage and perseverance in achieving the goals of the complex operational exercise "Clear Sky-2003" The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Belarus, Colonel-General L. S. Maltsev, encouraged the brigade with a pennant and a diploma.

The personnel of the 5th ObrSpN participated in the exercises: "Shield of the Fatherland-2004", in September 2005 a bilateral command and control command, "Shield of the Union-2006", 2007 - command and control command of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.
In the Republic of Belarus, the creation of the Special Operations Forces has become a major political event. The basis of the MTR is the 5th separate special forces brigade. Today, the brigade, while performing its tasks and engaging in combat training, also bears the burden of testing all new weapons, equipment and special equipment for special forces units. The 5th Separate Special Purpose Brigade is the vanguard of the special operations forces and the main base for the training and education of professionals from other units and structures of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.

On August 1, 2007, the 5th Special Operations Forces was reassigned to the command of the Special Operations Forces.
And today, celebrating its forty-fifth anniversary, the brigade remains true to the traditions of courage, heroism, honor and conscience, male friendship, sanctified by heaven and strengthened by battles on earth!

News of Belarus. President Alexander Lukashenko considers the development of special operations forces one of promising directions in the Belarusian army. This opinion was expressed by the head of state today while visiting the 5th separate special-purpose brigade in Maryina Gorka. The President was shown the conditions in which the best of the best serve today: this formation is rightfully considered the elite of the Belarusian armed forces. The head of state noted the high potential of young people and drew attention to the fact that this potential should be used competently even after the end of the service.

Pavel has been in the 5th separate special forces brigade for 7 months. During this time, he managed not only to build muscle on simulators, but also to become a squad leader. Employees in Maryina Gorka really have ample opportunities for physical and intellectual improvement. Barracks new, with gyms, modern lounges. But, the preparation, of course, is difficult, but it is beneficial, Pavel admits.

Pavel Demchenko, commander of the special forces group:
When I came to the military enlistment office and they said that in terms of health I fit into the most elite troops, asked to be in this brigade. I consider it the best in the country. Basically, there is enough. The only thing missing for a soldier is a home.

The special operations forces are one of the priority areas for the construction and development of the Belarusian army, and therefore the President is in the center.

Today the head of state was shown the progress of preparation elite units. She is, without exaggeration, fighting.

Lesson in shooting training - landing, training shooting from sniper rifles, grenade launchers as part of various units and performing tasks of varying complexity. The regularity of such classes bring the actions of special groups to automatism. But the main thing here, of course, is the speed of achieving the desired effect.

From a report to the President:
At a distance of 1300 meters, a group of snipers is capable of taking out an anti-aircraft missile battalion on the march in a minute. Guaranteed!

This is an assault suit and related weapons. Much here is made in Belarus, but, of course, there is also an import component.

From a report to the President:
All modernization items (AK-ed.), with the exception of the body kit, are made by our defense complex.

On the abundant BARS complexes, special operations forces can effectively counter illegal formations. Both in the city and on rough terrain. Good cross-country ability, maneuverability, automatic adjustment of firing from heavy-caliber guns.

And the Bogatyr passenger car is for mobile transportation of both soldiers and cargo.

Special pride - diving equipment - tugs, breathing apparatus and special equipment, developed by Belarusian specialists. By the way, in the air, or rather, landing, using all kinds of parachute systems, Belarusians are far from the last positions.

From a report to the President:
In 2013 in China, at the World Championships, our team won 13 medals, 5 of them were gold.

According to the state program, a complete re-equipment of special operations forces units was carried out. New machinery and equipment have appeared. Weapons, respectively, and new high scores.

Oleg Belokonev, Commander of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus:
The servicemen of this brigade have unique living conditions: not everyone has such houses.

The 5th brigade is engaged in special operations, reconnaissance and organizational tasks. Part of the Immediate Response Force. They also teach the so-called "power special disciplines" - martial arts, work in a group and alone ... By the way, among the teachers there are masters in three sports.

From a report to the President:
Shamanov, the commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, came. He cried! Then at 23.00 he called, saying "we are shocked, what kind of people you have, good-natured, they tell the truth - that they are a tolerant people. And what kind of relations do you have between law enforcement units!"

Behind Last year about 60 objects were brought into proper condition under the program for the arrangement of military camps. Maryina Gorka may be good example organization and personal life of the military.

:
16 houses, 1250 apartments were built.
In this brigade we have a hostel "for bachelors", a family hostel, 3 houses for service housing, by July 3 we are finishing the 4th house. This is more than 200 apartments. A cooperative was built by officers who have the opportunity to take a soft loan.

Arrangement of military camps in Belarus will continue.

Yuri Zhadobin, Minister of Defense of the Republic of Belarus:
In general, Comrade President, this is the best town in terms of infrastructure. I'm not ashamed to introduce him to you.
In 4 years thanks to your decision to extend the program[the issue will be resolved for the rest - ed.].

They also discussed the need to use the potential of young people, who received good army hardening here.

Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus:
We must clearly calculate this and determine how we will develop in the future. I am not against such trained units.
What if a person leaves here, for a "citizen", this is our person. If he doesn't end up in law enforcement agencies, serve somewhere else, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the KGB, all the same, these are our people. These are ours. I remember transferring such attention to the company of the guard of honor. The guys are beautiful, trained, educated. The service is very hard. These guys need to be supported. We are in dire need of such youth. I won’t say that we have a bad one, but this is the core that we are preparing here, especially due to special operation, they should not disappear. They must be somewhere in the "citizen" to be, around them must be formed the main such knots of our young people, real men, so that we can always rely on them.

In the 5th separate special forces brigade, the president was given a symbolic gift. This is a combat knife with a commemorative inscription - "no one but us", and an indispensable paratrooper's vest, they said in the 24 Hours News program on STV.

"Communication is the nerve of the army." Signal troops celebrate 100th anniversary on October 20



Each branch of the military has its own annual holidays. Most often this is the date of its creation. For every military man, this event is important, almost like his own birthday. And even more so when it is a round date. This Sunday, October 20, the signal troops of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus will celebrate their 100th anniversary. We tell in the program about the most technologically advanced part of our army.

The 20th century, along with social revolutions, simultaneously brought technological revolutions. Maximally complicated the structure of all the armies of the world. Accordingly, coordination and management became more difficult. Therefore, on October 20, 1919, by order of the Revolutionary Military Council, a separate branch of the Red Army troops was formed - the signal troops. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, their number was 5 percent of the total composition of the Armed Forces. The largest use of signal troops is in the Belarusian offensive operation. 28 thousand radio stations were involved.

During the war, 339 signalmen received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. 130 became full holders of the Order of Glory. It was during the war years that many formations were formed, which even today provide communications for the Belarusian army.

Oleg Mishchenko, Head of Communications of the Armed Forces - Head of the Communications Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus:
Over their hundred-year history, the communications troops have traveled a long and glorious path. In my opinion, in our armed forces we managed to preserve all that good that was left of the Belarusian military district. From our illustrious connections and military units who took part in the Great Patriotic war which were formed in the post-war period. Which, on the basis of the Belarusian military district, were modernized, equipped with advanced weapons and military equipment. In addition, the preserved scientific and technical potential to use this basis and use its own means of communication already in sovereign Belarus.


Andrei Dedukh gave almost twenty years to the signal troops. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather - a war hero, and his father. Under him, everything that we talked about in the program was born in the sovereign Belarusian army.

Andrei Dedukh, lieutenant colonel in reserve:
The appearance of the signal troops has changed a lot. There has been a huge technical leap in technology, which is now entering service in terms of communications. The communications troops have now turned into highly effective modern digital troops that provide the Armed Forces with all types of communications, and on modern communications. That is, it was probably impossible to imagine before, when the first exercises were held in the Russian Federation, that you can talk through a 140 MB radio station, modernized at our base, from the Ashuluk training ground with the city of Osipovichi, as if a person is in the next room.

And the dynasty of signalmen is continued by the son Sergey. Already promoted to captain. And I understood very well what a connection is. Both military and family.

Sergey Dedukh, head of the telephone center 62 TsUS:
Communication is the nerve of the army. Without communication, there is no control, no victory.

Oleg Mishchenko:
A special pride in the troops is the people. These are professionals in their field. You know, it's probably not so easy to get into a family of professional signalmen. Starting with education. And it's probably even harder to get out of it. Those who are devoted to their work, those who prove their professionalism, their devotion to ensure the security of our state with their daily work.

Of course, on this day, I would like, first of all, to congratulate our veterans on this holiday. The communications troops, probably, are not ashamed today that what we have left as a legacy, we have preserved, preserved, and in some areas, probably, increased. But it is for them to judge by our deeds. I would like to wish all the personnel good health, a peaceful sky over their heads and not stop there - learn a difficult profession and be a reliable defender of our state.

Once glorious, imbued with the spirit of victory, a thirst for struggle, a desire to fulfill their duty to the country, men bravely fought together with other GRU special forces units against the Mujahideen. On the account of the fighters, a lot of enemy lives have accumulated. The 5th Special Forces Brigade with honor and valor got out of difficult situations. Her appearance immediately calmed the unstable situation in Armenia, when the rebels were already ready to rebel and destabilize the situation.

History and emblem of the "Five" GRU


The 5th detachment from Maryina Gorka is also an elite formation in the sense that they were trusted in the General Staff to check all the latest weapons and special forces uniforms. So the traditions of special forces in Belarus have been going on since Soviet times. Let the history of the brigade drag on for a long time, but honor and praise to the young generation of strong special forces who remember and honor the glorious deeds of veterans, congratulate them and want to be like them.

A unit was also created in the 5th detachment of Maryina Gorka, long time which had no analogues in the Soviet and Russian parts of the GRU special forces - a special special forces company, consisting of warrant officers and senior ranks of special forces. Without exaggeration, it was a super unit the highest class and level of training. A special company of the 5th detachment even had its own sleeve insignia - an exceptional event for Soviet army! Veterans of the operation in Afghanistan served in a special company, there were also specially trained athletes in various applied combats and in hand-to-hand sports.

It is also necessary to tell about the emblem of the 5th obrspn. It consists of several elements: a fox, a directed arrow, as well as the constellation Ursa Major and the North Star.

The arrow is a very old symbol of the reconnaissance troops, it denotes the intention and the possibility of deep entry into the rear and sabotage there, as well as actions on the edge. This is how the fighters will act.
