TheNational Guard Naval Service Corps (Russian:Морские части Войск национальной гвардии Российской Федерации,romanized: Morskiye Chasti Voysk Natsional'noy Gvardii Rossiyskoy Federatsii) is the naval service,water police andcoast guard branch of theNational Guard Forces Command,National Guard of Russia. Formerly the Naval Service of theInternal Troops of Russia, it was established in 1978 through the fulfillment of a 1976 resolution of thePolitburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and a 1978 decree of theCouncil of Ministers of the Soviet Union.
The roots of this service may be traced to the May 5, 1976 Resolution "On the Protection of artificial structures on the Trans-Baikal and Far Eastern Railways" of thePolitburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The resolution created an interdepartmental commission for inspection of underwater structures and make recommendations for their protection. As a result, problems have been identified for both theBaikal-Amur Mainline and theTrans-Siberian Railway, providing the basis for the 1978 formation of the first units of boats and naval divers of what was then theNaval Service of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or NS-IT-MIA-USSR (Морские части внутренних войск МВД CCCP,Morskiye Chasti Vnutrennikh Voysk MVD SSSR) with the approval of the suggested measures and subsequent decrees of the Council of Ministers. The naval service, while sporting uniforms similar to theSoviet Navy would provide public order and security, inland waters and waterways security and lifesaving functions for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only with the raising of the Naval Service did the problems facing the waterways, as well as lifesaving duties in these areas, began to be resolved.[1]
In 1981 the current uniform and officer ranking system was adopted, in 1983 special flags were issued (today's flags feature the state naval ensign on the maroon background), and in 1985, the warrant officer and rating ranks were officially standardized. In 1984, through a general order of the chief of internal troops of the parts on the protection of sea lanes, two patrol boat divisions were raised. In 1988, on this basis, a separate detachment of patrol boats was established. A Divers' Training Center was included in its composition (established in 1987) for training and retraining of divers of the Naval Service, which would form the basis for today'sNational Guard Naval Diving Service.
Through a Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers on May 18, 1989 "On the Repair and technological enterprise of the nuclear fleet" (which gave military protection to personnel from today'sFSUE Atomflot and theMurmansk Shipping Company) and a Decree of the Council on August 3 the same year the organizational and staffing structure was approved for the 2 navalpatrol boat divisions assigned inMurmansk to the Naval Service of the MVD.
On the basis of part of personnel of the 1st Naval Detachment (Khabarovsk), the 5th Independent Maritime Training Division (Severobaikalsk) was raised on October 1, 1996. This division's cadets are trained in specialties: diver-shooter, mechanic, and boat captains. According to data for 2002, it created the basis for specialty training steering for signalmen.
As of April 15, 2016, the NS-IT-MIA-RF has transformed into the NGNSC-NGFC of the National Guard and reports directly to the Security Council.
