- Broad area of activity
- Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East, from Lake Baikal to the Pacific, with the Chinese and Korean borders. Nothing about dispositions is authored.
- Notable history
- Created in the 2010 reform from the Far Eastern and part of the Siberian districts, with the Pacific Fleet in its strategic direction. Its formations were among the first committed in 2022 — the northern axis on Kyiv was staffed in large part from the Far East — and the 5th Combined Arms Army, the district's peacetime formation the module carries, has fought in the south and east since. The district's other structural fact is the Korean border: the North Korean troops recorded in the module from October 2024 arrived through the Far East, and the Russia–North Korea treaty and munitions relationships the module authors run through its territory.
- Strengths
- Depth of territory, the Pacific base structure and the Korean and Chinese frontiers that make it the district through which the war's Asian support arrives.
- Limitations
- Its formations fight further from home than any other district's and have been rebuilt more than once; the district exists in the war as a source of units and a transit corridor rather than a command. Structure below the army is not authored.
