''Komkor'' is the abbreviation to ''Commanding officer of the Corps'' ((ロシア語:Комкор) / Командир корпуса; literal: Commander of the corps / Corps commander), and was a military rank in the Soviet Armed Forces of the USSR in the period from 1935 to 1940. It was also the designation to military personnel appointed to command a corps sized formation (XXX). Until 1940 it was the fourth highest military rank of the Red Army, and might have been rated OF-8〔The abbreviation "OF" stands for de: ''"Offizier / en: officer / fr: officier / ru: офицер"''〕 in NATO (Three-star rank). It was equivalent to ''Corps commissar'' (ru: Корпусной комиссар) of the political staff in all military branches, '' Flag Officer 1st rank'' (ru: Флагман 1 ранга) in the ''Soviet navy'', or to ''Commissar of state security 3rd rank'' (ru: Комиссар государственной безопасности 3-ого ранга). With the reintroduction of regular genera ranks, the designation ''Komkor'' was abolished, and replaced by Colonel general (OF-8). ==History== This particular rank was introduced by disposal of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union and the Council of People's Commissars, from September 22, 1935.〔Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union and the Council of People's Commissars, from September 22, 1935, on introduction of individual military rank designation to commanding personnel of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.〕 The new rank structure was as follows: * Command level Brigade X: Kombrig (Brigadier – OF6) * Command level Division XX: Komdiv (Division commander – OF7) * Command level Corps XXX: Komkor (Korps commander – OF8) * Command level Field army XXXX: Komandarm 2nd rank (Army commander 2nd rank – Commander Army OF9b) * Command level Army group, Front XXXXX: Komandarm 1st rank (Army commander 1st rank – Frond commander OF9a) * OF10-level: Marshal of the Soviet Union A total number of 146 military people graduated to ''Komkor''. However, reprisals were made on 59 ''Komkor'' in the period 1937-1938. In line to the reintroduction of the regular military rank system in 1940, one ''Komkor'' was promoted to General of the Army (Georgy Zhukov), 51 to Lieutenant general (OF-7), and six to Major general (OF-6). Finally, ''Komkor'' Leonid Grigorevich Petrovsky was promoted to Lieutenant general in 1941. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Komkor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
