24th Rifle Division

24-я стрелковая дивизия


On 10 July 1945, the 24th Rifle Division (2nd forming) was disbanded, but its number had already been assigned to 294th Rifle Division in 1946, which thus became the 24th Rifle Division (3rd forming), retaining all the honorifics and decorations of its predecessor, the 24th Rifle Division (2nd forming). It's a rather messy decision on the face of it, but the Soviets were masters at it during the Cold War. Constantly renaming and renumbering combat units, disbanding units with rich combat traditions and, over time, assigning their numbers, honorifics, and decorations to other units, was a method inherent in the Soviet military nomenclature of the time. This was done partly because of the incompetence or ignorance of the competent and partly in the interest of confusing the potential enemy. In this case, too, apparently as a result of the euphoria of a war won and the order to gradually reduce the Soviet armed forces from wartime to peacetime status, one of the oldest rifle divisions (in terms of succession to the 24th Rifle Division of the 1st forming) and one of the few units to be decorated with three Order of the Red banner, was disbanded. When those in charge realized this, its number was promptly assigned to the existing 294th Rifle Division, with the assumption of all decorations and honorifics. The fact that the 249th Rifle Division had absolutely nothing to do with the original 24th Rifle Division played no part.

In 1957, the 24th Rifle Division was renamed the 24th Motor Rifle Division. This time, however, it was not because of fogging, but because of an across-the-board systemic conversion of rifle units into motorized artillery units.

In the post-war period, the 24th Rifle Division (3rd forming), or later the 24th Motor Rifle Division, was stationed in the Carpathian Military District (the city of Lviv). The division's headquarters and its main part were located in the town of Javoriv in the Lviv region.
