[ColonelCassad] There are a lot of questions regarding Wagner.
Let's put it this way: officially, the Wagner PMC does not take part in the database.
Now some of the “musicians” have scattered to all possible units. The “heirs” in the Northern Military District will be the 15th, 16th and 17th assault detachments. This has already been discussed before, but the bureaucrats put a lot of obstacles in the wheels.
While they were stalling, fighters 15, 16 and 17 built a camp, and later went to train the National Guard at the training grounds. Everything took too long and some of those who responded scattered to other volunteer units.
After the adoption of the law on volunteer formations, the above SHO was given permission by the leadership of the Russian Guard to recruit fighters into its ranks. The completion period is up to a month, but in reality everything will be sooner.
The conditions are the same: contract for NWO - 6 months, Africa - 9 months.
Each SHO will include up to 2,200 fighters and will form the 1st Volunteer Corps of the Russian Guard.
According to preliminary forecasts, 17 SHOs are planned to be used as strike weapons. 16 SHO will take part in the database together with other units of the Russian Guard, and 15 will become a reserve.
The symbols and attributes of the 1st Volunteer Corps of the Russian Guard will be changed and will be slightly different from the symbols of the Wagner PMC.
Also, some of Wagner’s employees continue to operate in Africa, including as part of the Afrika Korps.
