This record matches Russia’s Central Military District, the military-administrative district headquartered in Yekaterinburg. Russian reporting states that the CMD was formed on 1 December 2010 from the Volga-Ural Military District and part of the Siberian Military District, and that its headquarters is in Yekaterinburg.

The supplied commander field is outdated. The latest public confirmation located identifies Colonel General Valery Solodchuk as commander of the Central Military District on 20 May 2025, when Russian MoD reporting carried by TASS and Interfax referred to him in that role. TASS then reported on 21 May 2025 that Andrey Mordvichev had been presented as commander-in-chief of the Russian Ground Forces, indicating he no longer held the district command by late May 2025.

As of 2025, Russian reporting described the CMD as deployed across three federal districts and 29 federal subjects. The same reporting says the district includes the 201st military base in Tajikistan and units in Kazakhstan; separate TASS coverage of Hamkorlik-2025 identified the 201st base as a CMD formation and described it as Russia’s largest military facility abroad. This supports the assessment that CMD remains Russia’s principal district for military posture toward Central Asia. ([tass.ru](https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/26133385?utm_source=openai))
Russian reporting in 2017-2020 described the CMD’s core peacetime structure as including the 2nd Guards Combined Arms Army headquartered in Samara, the 41st Combined Arms Army in Novosibirsk, and the 14th Air and Air Defence Army in Yekaterinburg. TASS also reported a dedicated communications command post at district headquarters in Yekaterinburg, and in 2025 communications officers there trained on SVO-derived command-post procedures. Critical Threats assessed in 2025 that Russia was reorganizing military districts, so older peacetime order-of-battle references may now be incomplete.

In 2025, TASS reported more than 7,000 live-fire training events for CMD personnel and railway-troop exercises in Perm Krai focused on restoring transport crossings after simulated attacks, indicating continued emphasis on force generation, internal mobility, and rear-area logistics across the district. The supplied placemark set is broadly consistent with a district-level record spanning many garrisons, but I could not independently verify all 40 placemarks from authoritative public sources; treat the placemark list as partially corroborated rather than a fully confirmed site inventory.
