The Northern Joint Strategic Command's area of responsibility
The Northern Fleet Joint Strategic Command (Russian: Объединённое стратегическое командование «Северный флот», romanized: Ob'edinyonnoye strategicheskoe komandovanie (Severn'y Flot)), was a military districts of the Russian Armed Forces, with its jurisdiction primarily within the northern region of European Russia and the Arctic Ocean.[2][3][4]
The Northern Fleet Joint Strategic Command is the third largest military-administered district by geographic size. It contains four federal subjects of Russia: Arkhangelsk Oblast, Komi Republic, Murmansk Oblast, and Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Additionally, the command contains most of Russia's islands in the Arctic Sea, including those located in federal subjects not within the district. The command's main aim is to concentrate all military responsibility over Russia's territories in the Arctic as well as secure all Russian interests and power projection in the region.[5]
The command is headquartered in Severomorsk, and its current military commander is Admiral Aleksandr Moiseyev, who has held the position since 3 May 2019.
In October 2023 a decree was prepared to strip the Northern Fleet of its special status as a military district.[6] In early 2024, it was announced that be subsumed into the wider, newly reconstituted Leningrad Military District.
On 26 February 2024, by decision on President Vladimir Putin's, the Leningrad Military District was separated from the Western Military District as a separate military-administrative unit of Russia, abolishing the Northern Fleet Joint Strategic Command, effective on 1 March.[7]
