Tasks
for the Strategic Missile Forces, there are several problems.The first is their responsibility to deter possible threats through the use of nuclear weapons.Rocket Forces are able to work together with others as the strategic nuclear forces, as well as their own.They can also engage in the destruction of databases and other components of the armed forces of the enemy.Later in the article find out what constitutes Russian Strategic Missile Forces, what the composition of forces, where the training of the future missile.
General Armament Missile Forces consist of ground-based intercontinental ballistic missiles.They can refer to a type of mobile or silo-based and complemented with nuclear warheads.The date of the formation of the Strategic Missile Forces considered to December 17, 1959.In the Moscow region is a small village Vlasikha, which houses the headquarters of the army.Commands the Strategic Missile Forces, Sergei Viktorovich Karakayev having the rank of colonel.Code numbered notation that distinguishes vehicles Missile Forces of the Russian Federation, the number is 23.
History
first association of missile forces, which were armed with long-range ballistic missiles, came in the middle of August 1946.It is an important component of the Soviet Army and was formed from members reserve engineering team headed by Major General Artillery Detachment Alexander F. Tveretskim.A year later, the troops were withdrawn in the rocket and military range, located in the Astrakhan region - Kapustin Yar.Further, the union again replaced the location, being in the Novgorod region.In the end, the missile troops settled in the guards that near Kaliningrad.
Development
Within five years, starting from the last months of 1950, formed six such associations.They got a single name - engineering RVGK Brigade (reserve of the Supreme Command - name).Strategic Rocket Forces of the time used the ballistic missiles of different models at the head of which there were explosives.At that time, the engineering teams were part of the artillery units RVGK and commander for them it is also the head of the Soviet Army artillery.Rocket associations were subordinated to one of the staff offices of the artillery.In the spring of 1955 it passed the appointment of First Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR on rocketry and special weapons.They became Mitrofan Ivanovich Nedelin also headed the Department of tabletop jet parts.By the early 60s to arm the army added medium-range missiles, which are characterized by the presence of nuclear warheads.In December 1958, on the basis of Plesetsk it is the first ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile - transcript).Strategic Rocket Forces conducted a number of training trials for new weapons in the middle of 1959.
Modern composition missile forces
The structure of the department includes the main command of the troops, a few rocket armies of the Strategic Missile Forces.The division is considered elite.Central landfill stationed in the Astrakhan region, and the area reserved for testing, is in Kazakhstan.Furthermore, for the same purpose a special base Kamchatka.Rocket Forces also own research institute, the Military Academy, located in Moscow, and the Institute of Missile Forces of Serpukhov, repair factories and database for storage of military equipment and weapons.In their ranks, given the civilian staff, at the moment there are one hundred and twenty thousand people, of which eighty thousand consist in the military.It is carried out by army-divisional orders, canceled in the other divisions.The army has composed over six hundred nuclear missile carriers, but it is worth noting that in recent years their number is rapidly declining.

Education
Academy RVSN has the status of a higher educational institution, which includes the scientific research center of military sciences and engineering.Located in Moscow, in the building that once held the Foundling Hospital.The head of the academy Viktor Fedorov.
