ArmInfo. The normative legal base of the Collective Rapid Deployment
Force (CRDF) has been developed and generally coordinated at the CSTO
Summit in Moscow on Sunday, ArmInfo correspondent to Moscow reported.
The key topic of the CSTO Summit was formation of the CRDF. The
presidents discussed nearly 20 issues on the agenda.
Opening the Summit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev thanked CSTO
leaders for operative decisions on coordination of the arrangements
to establish the Collective Rapid Deployment Force achieved at the
previous CSTO Summit. CRDF normative legal base has been developed and
generally coordinated. It is based on the Agreement on CSTO CRDF. The
documents define the status, the formation procedure and activity of
the CRDF as well as the rules of its application.
In addition, the staff of the CRDF consisting of mobile units and
formations equipped with modern military hardware and provided with
consistent armament was submitted to approval of the presidents.
CRDF will comprise also special forces consisting of special
subdivisions of the law-enforcement agencies, security services and the
agencies engaged in prevention emergency situations and liquidation
of their aftermaths. To manage CRDF when preparing and conducting
operations, the Collective Security Council formed CRDF Command.
In addition, during the meeting of the Collective Security Council, the
president approved a series of documents on creation of an effective
system of collective counteraction to new challenges and threats
as well as an action plan of CSTO member-states on formation of a
collective system to combat illegal migration from third countries. The
president heard the report by Chairman of the CSTO Council of Defense
Ministers on the process of coalition military building as part of
the CSTO.
The decision to create CRRF was made at the extraordinary summit of
the CSTO Collective Security Council on February 4 in Moscow. Earlier,
CSTO Secretary General Nikolay Bordyuzha said CRRF will consist of
two components - troops of special appointment (airmobile forces),
capable of moving to any points of CSTO states for the localization
of armed conflicts, and the force of special appointment from the
security services, Interior Ministries for the special operations of
anti-terrorist and anti-narcotic nature.
Armenia assumed CSTO chairmanship from Kyrghyzstan in 2008. Armenia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrghyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
are members of CSTO founded in 1992. On June 15 2009 Armenia rotated
CSTO chairmanship to Russia temporarily because of Belarus's refusal to
participate in the session of the CSTO Ministerial Council in Moscow.
