Information AboutFront (soviet Army) |

An interesting and important distinction between the two is that a Soviet front typically has its own organic tactical fixed-wing air force of Army level. This Air Army is directly subordinated to the Frontal commander (typically a ground commander). The entire front may report either to STAVKA or a TVD . Soviet fronts were raised during the Polish-Soviet War , Polish September Campaign (Byelorussian and Ukrainian) and the Second World War . During the Cold War , fronts and their staffs were integrated with various Military District s, or became "Group of Soviet Forces" in a Warsaw Pact nation. It should be noted that not all Military Districts rated a Front. Thus some Military Districts do not have an organic Air Army. SEE ALSO
