The General Staff reports that four motor rifle battalions are being formed from among the troops of the 36th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade of the 29th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Armed Forces (whose base is in the town of Borzya in the Zabaikal Krai). Officer positions in these battalions are staffed by teachers of the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School. The General Staff reported earlier that a naval rifle regiment had been formed on the basis of the Black Sea Higher Naval School in the temporarily occupied city of Sevastopol (Crimea).

"Russian military leadership is continuing to resort to WWII-type tactics to staff the aforementioned units, which attests to the substantial problems and miscalculations it's dealing with," the General Staff concluded.
