How to restore the DWR treatment on insulated clothing or equipment DWR is a special polymer applied to the surface of the fabric to make it water-repellent. DWR processing is not forever. During the operation of the product, as well as after a certain number of washes, the effectiveness of DWR decreases. If water droplets have stopped rolling off the surface of the fabric and wet the fabric even after washing, it's time to restore the splash-proof treatment. We recommend the use of specific fabric re-spray formulations, either sprayed or poured into the washing machine, such as Grangers Clothing Repel or Performance Repel, or Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In or Spray-On. First wash the product according to the washing instructions, then use the selected composition to restore the splash protection by spraying it directly on the front of the product while it is still damp, or by running the second wash cycle, first pouring the required amount of wash-in into the washing machine . The manufacturer's instructions for the restoration of the splashproof treatment on the packaging must be followed exactly. Many DWR reconditioning products require heat activation, so it is best to dry treated clothing and equipment in a tumble dryer or oven at medium temperature (40-60°C) for 40-50 minutes or until completely dry.

Symbols of military honor

Battle Banner is a symbol of military honor, valor and glory, serves as a reminder to every soldier of the heroic traditions and the sacred duty of defending the Fatherland.

The history of battle banners goes back into the distant past. As a sign for the collection and unification of warriors, they appeared in the armed detachments of the armies of the slave-owning states. These military attributes were gradually improved, their role and importance increased. The banners were not only the most ancient attribute in the Russian army, but also had the most stable and unchanging authority among the troops. Initially, the role of the banner was played by the figures of birds and animals (eagle, owl ...), placed at the top of the staff, and from the 9th century. - a cloth attached to the shaft. The Russian military vocabulary in the 11th century already included such concepts of a battle banner as “banner”, “banner”. Throughout the entire national military history, there was no period when the banners would lose their significance as military shrines.

Until the 18th century, there was no single provision on the banner in the Russian army. It was first introduced by Peter I in the Military Regulations of 1716. Each unit and ship was supposed to have a banner and take a military oath under it. Warriors were required to defend the banner in battle, not sparing their lives. The loss of a military shrine was considered the greatest crime and shame.

Under the command of the great Russian commanders Peter I, P. Rumyantsev, A. Suvorov, M. Kutuzov, Russian troops won outstanding victories over the enemy, covered their battle flags with glory. Russian soldiers and officers bravely fought under the shadow of military banners in the Crimean War of 1853-1856, in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, on the battlefields of the First World War.

Loyalty to the battle banner was preserved and increased by Soviet soldiers in the battles near Lake Khasan (1938) and on the Khalkhin-Gol River (1939), the Soviet-Finnish War (1939-1940) and especially during the Great Patriotic War (1941 1945).

Numerous cases are known when Soviet soldiers, not sparing their blood and lives, saved battle banners from the capture of enemies, themselves captured the battle banners of the enemy, hoisted their banners over the defeated fortifications. The hoisting of the Banner of Victory over the Reichstag in Berlin and the Victory Parade on June 24, 1945 in Moscow, when at the foot of the Mausoleum of V.I. Lenin, 200 standards and banners of the defeated Nazi Germany were thrown.

Currently, the Combat Banner of a military unit is a particularly honorary sign, symbolizing the military mission, historical path and merits of a military unit, as well as indicating its belonging to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The Naval Ensign of the Russian Federation, raised on a ship of the Navy, is the Battle Banner of the ship and symbolizes its nationality and inviolability. From its hoisting to its descent (on the march around the clock), the naval flag is in full view of all personnel and everyone near the ship. Each soldier salutes the flag upon entering and leaving the ship. This is a tribute to the ship and the Russian Navy, which has a glorious military tradition.

The history of the Russian Naval flag goes back to ancient times. Even during the sea campaigns of the Slavs to Tsargrad in the VIII-IX centuries, their boats had flags. The first flag on a Russian warship was raised in 1668. "Eagle", as this ship was called, had a flag that combined three colors: red, blue and white, which symbolized nobility, loyalty and courage.

Since 1712, the Naval flag has become St. Andrew's flag- a white cloth with a blue diagonal cross, which lasted until October 1917. Under this flag, Russian navigators traveled around the world, discovered new sea routes and lands, and military sailors earned glory in battles.

The crews of the sailors of the cruiser "Varyag" and the gunboat "Koreets" left an unforgettable memory of themselves. On February 9, 1904, they entered into battle with the Japanese squadron, sank an enemy destroyer and inflicted serious damage on two cruisers. Having used up all the shells, the heroes, on the orders of the commander, opened the kingstones on the wounded "Varyag" and blew up the "Korean". Russian ships went under water without lowering their flags in front of the enemy. During the years of Soviet power, new Naval flags were established, but at first they changed rapidly. The longest life - from 1935 to 1992 - had the Naval flag of the USSR. It was a white cloth with a blue stripe on the bottom edge. In the left half of the flag on a white background was a red five-pointed star, in the right half - a sickle and a hammer. As on the first flag raised on the Orel, the USSR Naval Flag combined the same three colors.

Today, the Navy has a new - Andreevsky - flag and a new generation of sailors. But as before, it is justifiably proud of its Naval flag, which embodies the greatness and power of Russia, its heroic past. As noted by the famous writer - marine painter Leonid Sobolev, a ship is an arena of military exploits of a sailor, his fortress and weapon for attack, his strength and honor. The flags are carried up on the hafel and flutter over the world in proud splendor.

One of the symbols of the armed defender of the Fatherland is his dress. Military uniform - the general name of all items of uniforms, equipment and insignia in the army of the state. It allows you to determine the belonging of the military to the type of armed forces, distinguishes them from the civilian population and military personnel of other armies.

In ancient times, every man capable of carrying weapons was a warrior and entered the battlefield in the dress that he usually wore. However, the need to distinguish one's own troops from the enemy's from afar already led to the desire to have a uniform uniform, or at least distinctive signs.

The insignia are shoulder straps, chest and sleeve insignia, signs on headgear, shoulder straps and buttonholes, piping, stripes, emblems.

Among the insignia, a special place is occupied by emblems. They appeared in the Russian army in 1700 and were then called "coats of arms". They wore emblems on headdresses, buttons, cartridge pouches, and waist belts. As a rule, four symbols were varied: a double-headed eagle, a letter, a shield, and St. Andrew's star. They housed crossed cannons, axes, anchors and other elements.

Shoulder straps show the personal military ranks of military personnel, as well as their belonging to the type of armed forces, branch of service, service.

In the Russian army, shoulder straps were introduced in 1763. First on one left shoulder, and since 1802 on both shoulders. The symbolism of the uniform and shoulder straps was so comprehensive in the Russian army that the very fact of deprivation of an officer's rank was expressed in tearing off the shoulder straps from the shoulders of the one who dishonored them by his behavior.

Along with epaulettes, the Russian army also had epaulettes - special insignia mainly for officers, generals and admirals, which later became an accessory only to full dress.

Shoulder straps, like military ranks, were simultaneously abolished by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of December 16, 1917. If the mass of soldiers unconditionally welcomed these democratic steps of the Soviet government, then they met with a completely different reception from a significant part of the former officers and generals.

In Soviet times, shoulder straps in the Armed Forces were restored during the Great Patriotic War in January 1943. The reason that prompted the introduction of shoulder straps in the Red Army was the introduction of unity of command and major measures to improve the system of military ranks. This contributed to raising the authority of the commanding staff and strengthening military discipline among the personnel of the army and navy, instilled confidence in the approach of victory over the enemy.

Military ranks appeared in the 15th - 16th centuries with the development of standing armies and are present in most armies of the world to this day. The authority of military ranks was always high, because they testified to the military qualifications, merits, seniority and combat experience of each soldier, they embodied the fundamental idea of ​​​​military service - the unquestioning and obligatory submission of juniors in rank to seniors.

In the Russian army, military ranks first appeared in 1550 in the streltsy army. Under Peter I, the Table of Ranks (1722) formalized military ranks into a single system. Most of them lasted almost two centuries.

The highest military rank - Generalissimo of the Russian troops introduced into the army at the end of the 17th century. Around the same time, the next rank in importance was introduced - Field Marshal General. In the history of our state, there were 4 generalissimos and 64 field marshals.

On the eve of the October Revolution of 1917, the Russian army (infantry) had the following ranks: infantry general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, lieutenant colonel, captain, staff captain, lieutenant, second lieutenant, warrant officer, warrant officer, sergeant major, senior non-commissioned officer, junior non-commissioned officer, corporal, private. By decree of the Council of People's Commissars of December 16, 1917, the old military ranks were abolished, and until 1935 commanders in the army and navy differed in their positions.

Personal military ranks in the Soviet Armed Forces were first introduced in 1935. At the same time, the continuity of some ranks that existed in the old Russian army was preserved. Subsequently, military ranks were specified in 1940, 1942 - 1943, 1945 l For example, on May 25, 1942, guards ranks were introduced, and on June 26, 1945 - the highest military rank of Generalissimo of the Soviet Union.

From June 1, 1972, the military rank of warrant officer (midshipman) was established in the Armed Forces of the USSR, and in 1981, in addition to it, senior warrant officer (senior warrant officer).

The current system of military ranks is basically borrowed from the previous one and is defined by the Charter of the Internal Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

An important form of material and moral encouragement, symbolizing the recognition of special merits to the state, in particular, for military distinctions in battles and in peacetime, is a reward.

At all times, the exploits of warriors were revered, glorified and exalted. Warriors who accomplished feats of arms were called heroes. Rewarding soldiers for exploits, courage, courage originates from ancient Rome. Then distinguished soldiers were given rings, belts, necklaces, wrists, nicknames, lands, money, knighthoods.

In Russia, soldiers for military merit and exploits were awarded hryvnias, armor, and valuable gifts. In the 15th century, for participation in military campaigns or especially important individual battles, all soldiers began to be awarded specially minted medals.

Rewarding orders and medals began to be carried out much later - from the middle of the XVII century. The first award badges in Russia originate from the time of Peter I. A special place among the awards in the army and navy was and is occupied by breastplates, primarily military prowess and distinction.

In the prewar years, a number of badges with a defense orientation were introduced. Among them - "Voroshilovsky shooter", "For shooting", "For active defense work", "Ready for air defense" and others. In the same years, badges were established for combatants. The first of them is "Participant of the Khasan battles." During the Great Patriotic War, signs were introduced for privates and foremen: “Sniper”, “Excellent machine gunner”, “Excellent mortar”, etc., up to “Excellent baker”, “Excellent cook”.

In the post-war period, new military insignia were introduced, the most famous of which were "Excellence in the Soviet Army", "Excellence in the Navy", "Excellence in the Air Force", "For demining", "Parachutist-excellent", "Air Defense Forces of the country", "For combat trawling", "Warrior-sportsman", etc.

Along with the establishment, presentation of individual and collective awards, insignia, there was and is the practice of assigning historical names to regiments, ships, batteries, fortresses associated with the names of military and statesmen, commanders, scientists. The name of the regiment binds the warriors into one family with invisible ties. It is reflected in insignia and is the pride of soldiers and officers.

Order- a badge of distinction, an honorary state award for special, including military, merits. To encourage soldiers who distinguished themselves in battles, the following orders were established in Russia: St. Andrew the First-Called (1698), the highest award of the Russian Empire; Alexander Nevsky (1725), St. George (1769), Vladimir (1782), Stanislav (1831) and others. They were awarded, as a rule, to generals, admirals, officers. To reward soldiers, sailors and non-commissioned officers for valor in battles in 1807, a sign of the Military Order of St. George was established (since 1913 - the St. George Cross), which had four degrees (I and II - gold, III and IV - silver).

The first Soviet order - the Order of the Red Banner - was established on September 16, 1918, and V. Blucher, who was awarded for personal courage and skillful leadership of a partisan unit, became its first cavalier.

In the future, the orders are established: the Red Star (1930), the Patriotic War, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Alexander Nevsky (1942), Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Victory, Glory (1943), Ushakov, Nakhimov (1944), " For service to the Motherland in the Armed Forces of the USSR "(1974).

The highest degree of distinction in the USSR was title of Hero of the Soviet Union. It was established by the Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR on April 16, 1934. On April 20, 1934, seven pilots who participated in the rescue of the Chelyuskinites became the first Heroes of the Soviet Union: A.V. Lyapidevsky, S.A. Levanevsky, B.C. Molokov, N.P. Kamanin, M.T. Slepnev, M.V. Vodopyanov, I.V. Doronin.

State awards of the Russian Federation are the highest form of encouragement of citizens for outstanding achievements in the economy, science, culture, art, defense of the Fatherland, state building, education, education, protection of health, life and rights of citizens, charitable activities and other services to the state and people.

Badge of special distinction - Gold Star medal of the Hero of the Russian Federation- Established on March 20, 1992 and awarded to servicemen who have accomplished heroic deeds.

Important symbols of military glory are monuments and monuments to the armed defenders of the Fatherland.

The erection of monuments arose in ancient times in order to perpetuate the memory of important events. The most common type was sculptural figures or groups. In the Russian Empire, most of the monuments were statues in honor of heroes, generals, emperors, as well as cathedrals, churches and chapels. In the first years of Soviet power, the monuments to its leaders and national heroes reflected the revolutionary enthusiasm of the masses.

There are almost no monuments dedicated to the Civil War, the heroism of the Red Army soldiers and built immediately in hot pursuit.

Many monuments were built mainly after the Great Patriotic War. Monuments in honor of the heroes and heroic events of the Great Patriotic War began to be created back in wartime, but they began to be erected especially actively for anniversaries. There are monuments to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War in all corners of our country, and not only where the battles took place. Throughout Russia, in cities and small villages, there are obelisks to soldiers who gave their lives for their homeland.

Many monuments to Soviet soldiers were erected on the territory of the states that the Soviet army liberated from the Nazis.

Huge memorial complexes with the Eternal Flame, dedicated to the heroism of the Soviet military personnel, were opened in the hero cities.

Attention to the heroic events (past and present) of our army and navy continues unabated. In honor of the soldiers who died in peacetime in defense of interests

In Russia, in cities and villages, monuments and commemorative signs are being erected.

The symbolic significance of monuments and monuments lies in those numerous traditions and rituals that form a sense of patriotism, readiness to honestly perform military duty.

Rituals of the Russian Armed Forces

A ritual is a solemn official act, during which a certain order is established - a ceremonial.

The rituals held in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation concentrate the high, noble ideals of defending the Fatherland, loyalty to military duty, the Military Oath, the Battle Banner of the unit. The Charter of the internal service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation clearly defines the procedure (ceremonial) for taking the military oath, presenting the Battle Banner of a military unit, handing over personal weapons and military equipment, and the procedure for seeing off military personnel who have been transferred to the reserve or retired.

The ritual of taking the military oath

The main and inviolable law of military life is the military oath. It has the force of a state legal document and is a solemn oath of a warrior to fulfill his duty to the Motherland.

A citizen of the Russian Federation who enters military service for the first time is sworn in before the State Flag of the Russian Federation and the Battle Banner of the military unit. The time for taking the military oath is announced in the order of the commander of the military unit. At the appointed time, a military unit with the Battle Banner and the State Flag of the Russian Federation is lined up on foot in front, and in wartime in field uniform with weapons. Military personnel who are sworn in by the Military oath are in the first ranks. The commander of the military unit in a short speech reminds the soldiers of the significance of the Military Oath and of the honorable and responsible duty that is assigned to servicemen who have been sworn in to the Military Oath of allegiance to their Fatherland. After an explanatory speech, the commander of the military unit orders the commanders of the units to proceed with the military oath. The commanders of companies and other units alternately call out of action military personnel who are taken to the Military Oath. Each of them reads aloud before the formation of the unit the text of the oath, which is approved by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On military duty and military service." After reading the text of the oath, the serviceman signs with his own hand in a special list in the column against his last name and takes his place in the ranks. At the end of the ceremony, the lists with the personal signatures of the military personnel taken to the Military Oath are handed over by the unit commanders to the commander of the military unit. The commander of the unit congratulates the soldiers (sailors) on taking the military oath, and the entire unit on the new replenishment, after which the orchestra plays the National Anthem. After the performance of the anthem, the military unit passes in a solemn march. The day of taking the Military Oath is a non-working day for this military unit and is held as a holiday.

The ritual of presenting the Battle Banner of a military unit

For the removal of the Battle Banner to the place of construction at the disposal of the chief who arrived to present it, the commander of the military unit appoints a denominator and two assistants from sergeants, ensigns or officers and a banner platoon.

At the appointed time, the bannerman takes out the Battle Banner in a case and follows the commander who hands the banner to the place where the military unit is built in three steps. At the same time, the bannerman holds the Battle Banner on his left shoulder, assistants follow to the right and left of the bannerman. When the person who arrived to present the Battle Banner approaches 40-50 steps to the ranks, the commander of the military unit gives the command: "Regiment, under the banner, at attention, alignment - to the right!" The orchestra performs "Counter March". The commander of the military unit, having given the command, puts his hand to the headgear, approaches the person who has arrived to present the Battle Banner, and reports to him that the regiment has been built on the occasion of the presentation of the Battle Banner. At the time of the report of the commander of the military unit, the orchestra stops playing. The bannerman puts the banner to the right leg vertically. The person who arrived to present the Battle Banner, having accepted the report, stands in front of the middle of the formation, greets the military unit and approaches the flag officer. The bannerman tilts the banner and holds it horizontally. The presenter removes the cover and unfurls the Battle Banner. Then the bannerman, placing the banner vertically and holding it with his right hand, becomes facing the ranks. The person presenting the banner reads out the Diploma of the President of the Russian Federation, after which he presents the Combat Banner and the Diploma to the commander of the military unit. The orchestra plays the National Anthem. The commander of the military unit, having accepted the Battle Banner and the Diploma, at the end of the performance by the orchestra of the National Anthem, passes it to the flag officer. The bannerman takes the Battle Banner to his left shoulder and follows the commander.

The commander of the military unit, three steps behind him, the denominator with the Battle Banner and assistants follow to the left flank of the formation, then pass along the front of the formation of the military unit to the right flank. The orchestra during the movement performs "Counter March". The military unit greets the Battle Banner with a drawn out "Hurrah". The commander of the military unit, having gone to the right flank, orders the denominator with assistants to take their place in the ranks. Then the commander gives a sign to the orchestra to stop the game, goes to the middle of the formation and stops next to the person who presented the Battle Banner, and at his direction gives the command: “At ease!” The person who presented the Battle Banner congratulates the military unit on receiving the Battle Banner. The personnel of the unit responds to congratulations with a three-fold drawn-out “Hurrah”. After that, the commander speaks with a response.

At the end of the ritual, the military unit passes with a solemn march.

The ritual of handing weapons and military equipment to personnel

Assignment of weapons and military equipment to servicemen is carried out after they have been sworn in by the Military Oath. The time and order of delivery are determined by the order of the commander of the military unit. At the appointed time, the unit lines up on foot with weapons at the Battle Banner and with an orchestra. The small arms to be handed over shall be taken to the place of formation and laid out on tables 10 m from the formation. Other weapons and military equipment are awarded at the places of their storage. Before handing over weapons, the commander of the unit in a short speech reminds the servicemen of the requirements of military regulations on the mastery of the entrusted weapons and military equipment, and their constant maintenance in readiness for use to protect the Fatherland. Then an order is announced to assign weapons and military equipment to crew members (crews), drivers and other officials of the units. After that, the commander of the military unit orders the commanders of the units to proceed with the handing over of small arms. The commanders of companies (batteries) and other subunits alternately call the servicemen out of action and hand them weapons. Having completed the handing over of small arms, the commanders of the subunits bred the personnel to the places of storage of weapons and military equipment. Personnel for receiving weapons and military equipment line up by crew (according to calculations) and, at the command of the unit commander, check their condition and completeness.

Unit commanders accept reports from crew commanders (crews), drivers (drivers) or other persons who are assigned weapons or military equipment. Then, forms (passports) are handed over, in which the servicemen sign, and from that moment they are responsible for the assigned weapons and military equipment. After handing over the equipment, the subunit commanders line up the personnel in the place indicated by the unit commander and report to him on the handing over of weapons and military equipment. The commander of the military unit congratulates the personnel on this event. The ritual of handing over weapons and military equipment ends with the passage of the military unit with a solemn march.

Ritual of seeing off servicemen retired or retired

The farewell of servicemen who honestly and conscientiously served the established term to the reserve or resignation takes place in a solemn atmosphere. Veterans, military personnel of other military units, members of the public and members of the families of military personnel can be invited to them.
