58th Combined Arms Army
Identity
This record matches Russia’s 58th Combined Arms Army, military unit 47084, subordinate to the Southern Military District. Russian state media reported on 26 September 2023 that the formation received the Guards honorific, so its current official style is the 58th Guards Combined Arms Army.

HQ location
Open sources place the army headquarters in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia–Alania, not at the supplied Stavropol-area point. ISW’s Russian ground-forces ORBAT lists 58th CAA HQ in Vladikavkaz; historic public registry entries for v/ch 47084 record Military Town 29, Vladikavkaz; and TASS reported 58th Army ceremonial activity and equipment display in Vladikavkaz on 3 May 2024. The formation is therefore identifiable, but the exact function of the provided coordinate cluster is not publicly confirmed in open sources reviewed.

Subordinate posture
Authoritative OSINT order-of-battle reporting places under 58th CAA the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division in Chechnya, 19th Motorized Rifle Division in Vladikavkaz, 136th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade in Buynaksk, 100th Reconnaissance Brigade and 12th Missile Brigade in Mozdok, 291st Artillery Brigade in Troitskaya, and the 4th Guards Base in Tskhinvali, South Ossetia. This distribution indicates a dispersed North Caucasus and South Ossetia command footprint rather than a single local garrison.

Operational employment
Russian official/state reporting in 2024-2025 repeatedly identified 58th Army elements as part of the Dnepr grouping on the Zaporizhzhia axis, including artillery, UAV, anti-tank, and engineer/sapper activity near the Orikhiv-Rabotyne sector and other areas of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. That indicates sustained expeditionary combat employment away from its North Caucasus home basing through at least November 2025.

Command status
The metadata names Lieutenant General Denis Lyamin, but reliable open sources do not firmly confirm him as current army commander as of 12 March 2026. Open-source reporting indicated Lyamin replaced Major General Ivan Popov in July 2023, yet TASS, citing the Russian Ministry of Defense, identified Lyamin as chief of staff of the Center grouping on 25 February 2024, and ISW later assessed that insider reporting said he had been removed from 58th CAA command in October 2023. Current command of the formation is therefore not publicly confirmed in the sources reviewed.
