The Communication Troops of the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union were generalized names for special forces intended for the deployment and operation of communication systems in order to provide command and control of troops and forces subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union in all types of their activities.
As a branch of the specialised forces, the Communication Troops were an integral part of all five branches of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union (Ground Forces, the Navy, the Air Force, Air Defense Forces and Strategic Missile Forces).[1]
The general command of the Communication Troops of all five branches of the armed forces was carried out by the Chief of the Communication Troops of the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union.
The Communication Troops, which were part of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, the Border Troops and the Government Communication Troops of the State Security Committee of the Soviet Union, were not part of the Communication Troops of the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union.[2]
Much of the infrastructure and units of the Communications Troops were inherited by the Russian Signal Troops.
