The National Guard Forces Command of the Russian Federation (Russian: Войска национальной гвардии Российской Федерации, romanized: Voyska Natsionalnoy Gvardii Rossiyskoi Federatsii) is the operational gendarmerie component of the National Guard of Russia, created through a presidential decree on April 5, 2016. Functionally, it is a gendarmerie organized along paramilitary lines with a mission to ensure public order, national security and defense against terrorism. To this end, Forces Command handles the operational units of the National Guard, including its rapid deployment branch, the Separate Operational Purpose Division (ODON); and its naval branch, the National Guard Naval Service Corps (not to be confused with the Russian Coast Guard, which is under the authority of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation).
It is the main successor of the Special Corps of Gendarmes and the Internal Troops of Russia.
