Random information on the term “BARS”:
BARS or Combat Army Reserve of the Country (Russian: Боевой Армейский Резерв Страны – БАРС) or simply the Combat Army Reserve is a Russian military reserve force implemented in 2015.
The Combat Army Reserves was created by the Ministry of Defence in 2015 as an analogous organization to the British Territorial Army or the United States Army Reserve with members being paid a salary per a three year or a one and a half year contract, and participating in at least a month per year of part-time training, with the prospect of being called to active duty in the event of war. In 2019 a study by the RAND Corporation found that there were only 4,000 to 5,000 reservists in the whole of Russia.
In 2021, during the build-up towards the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, the BARS were the subject of a massive recruitment campaign titled “BARS-21” which Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu stated in several speeches hoped would bolster the force to 80,000 to 100,000 reservists. Eligible BARS reservists in the days before the invasion included soldiers younger than 42, junior officers younger than 47, colonels younger than 57, and other senior officials younger than 52. When the war did break out, 20 BARS units consisting of an estimated 10,000 reservists, were sent to Ukraine to take part in the initial invasion. BARS reservists were, on paper, paid a much higher salary than Russian conscripts and were supposed receive a hefty pension for their service, however, upon the completion of their service, most reservists saw little to none of the promised money or bonuses. The reservists where outfitted in decommissioned surplus and many were given rusted AK-47s. Most BARS soldiers are older veterans of the War in the Donbas, with many being members of the Union of Donbass Volunteers, and are from smaller rural settlements. BARS units and Russian PMCs often overlap, with several BARS units being directly affiliated or even run by a PMC, leaving the units in a legal grey-area.
