History
In 1954, a new type of armed forces was formed - the country's air defense forces . In the second half of the 50s, the entry into the troops of new weapons and equipment required the improvement of the operational construction of the country's air defense and the expansion of the responsibility zones of the air defense armies outside the territorial military districts. This was especially important in the western operational-strategic direction. On this basis, by decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and on the basis of a directive of the Minister of Defense of the USSR of March 15, 1960, the task was determined to form a command of the 2nd separate air defense army by July 1, 1960, as part of the 11th air defense corps (headquarters in the city of Baranovichi ), 27th Air Defense Corps (headquarters in Riga ), which includes the 3rd Air Defense Division (headquarters in Baltiysk ).
The combat mission of the corps was, having concentrated the main efforts in the western direction, to cover objects in the area of deployment and to prevent the air enemy from flying deep into the country and to the capital of the USSR.
Since the formation of the corps, the command had to solve a number of complex problems, such as the development of new missile technology, the constant deployment of new units, the transformation of regiments into brigades. As a result, the units were stationed on temporary, non-equipped firing positions, there was no barracks and housing, the personnel lived in tents, most of the officers of the newly formed units did not have apartments. Throughout the 60s and 70s, there was an improvement in the structure of formations and parts of the corps, rearmament of air defense , aviation , RTV units with new military equipment, the development of automated control systems, communications equipment, the construction of command posts, barracks for personnel, and residential towns.
In 1979, it was decided to disband the 2nd separate air defense army. As a result, the headquarters of the 11th Corps was transferred to Minsk and subordinated to the command of the Belarusian Military District . Time showed the fallacy of such a decision, and in 1986 the 2nd OA of air defense was restored, this time as part of the 11th building and 28th building (headquarters in Lviv ). The headquarters of the 11th Corps was transferred back to Baranavichy .
