⚠️ CONTEXT & NOTES
Since February 2022, significant CMD units have been deployed to the
Ukraine front. Actual current dispositions differ substantially from peacetime
order of battle. Many units listed here have suffered significant casualties
and been reconstituted one or more times.
The Central Military District HQ in Yekaterinburg is literally in
Vilka's city. The headquarters building is on Lenin Avenue. The 25th Combined
Arms Army, the 14th Air Army, signal brigades, CBRN units, railway brigades,
and training centers are all garrisoned in and around Yekaterinburg and
Sverdlovsk Oblast. Chebarkul (the 90th Guards Tank Division and its supporting
rocket artillery and air defense) is about 200km south, near Chelyabinsk.
The tank reserve bases near Yekaterinburg (Verkhnyaya Pyshma and
Kamyshlov) contain hundreds of mothballed tanks that can theoretically be
reactivated. The 1311th base alone has ~415 tanks in various states of
readiness.
