Identity provenance

Service ensign: St Andrew's ensign — naval ensign of the Russian Federation — carried by Navy, not issued to this record. Drawn by Vigil to the geometry the 1992 readoption specifies — white field, blue saltire, band width one tenth of the fly, 2:3. Drawn rather than supplied because this geometry is fully specified; no image file is involved in this record.

State affiliation: Russia.

The smaller square mark is a Vigil category device, drawn from this record’s own domain, echelon and role — not an official insignia.

In brief

Baltic Fleet naval infantry at Baltiysk, committed to the land war as the 336th Guards Brigade and announced expanded to divisional status in December 2025; the division's own designation is reported, not confirmed.

About this record

Stub — a structured placeholder meeting the public-stub threshold: name, place in the force tree, broad role, and a dated status. A full profile follows source review.

Lineage & institutional history

Formal parent institution: Baltic Fleet

Predecessors: 336th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade

Russia's defence ministry announced the formation of a new Baltic Fleet naval infantry division on 22 December 2025, expanding the 336th Separate Guards Naval Infantry Brigade at Baltiysk; one of the division's regiments retains the number 336. Reporting gives the designation as the 120th Guards Naval Infantry Division, which has not been publicly confirmed, so the record is not titled by it. Whether the division is manned to establishment is not published. Records of the brigade's employment before that date stand as written.
