History

[edit]

The regiment was formed on December 12, 2014. The unit's permanent base was the former military camp of the 16th Separate Training Regiment of the Railway Troops (military unit 10905) in the workers' settlement of Tsentralny in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. On December 26, 2015, Major General Mikhail Chernyshev, Chief of the NBC Protection Service of the Western Military District, presented the regiment with its battle flag.

From March 22 to May 7, 2020, specialists from the NBC Protection Troops participated in the fight against coronavirus infection in northern Italy and Serbia.[2] The unit's military personnel also carried out special treatment of social facilities in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.[3][4] The unit's personnel participated in rehearsals for solving emergency containment tasks associated with the threat of mass infection and the spread of viral infections.[5]

In 2015 and 2024, the regiment's servicemen took part in the Victory Parade on Minin Square in Nizhny Novgorod.[6][7]

The main training ground for the regiment's personnel is the Mulino training ground.

Since 2022, it has been taking part in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

On April 27, 2026, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the regiment was awarded the honorary title of “ Guards ” for “mass heroism and bravery, fortitude and courage demonstrated by army personnel in combat operations to defend the Fatherland and state interests in armed conflicts”.[8]
