The General Staff announced on 06 Apr 01 that the Ural MD is to be merged with the Volga MD by 01 Sep 01 to form a single Volga-Ural MD. "...No measures linked with this process will affect combat units and subunits, as personnel reductions in the districts will affect administrative and rear services structures." According to Izvestiya, the General Staff is examining the question of reassigning to military district commanders all troops stationed on their territory. This would in particular affect airborne subunits, large air force and air defense strategic formations, and combined units. (Izvestiya, 07Apr01)
