This patch is issued to or worn by members of the Command of the VDV, including operational directors, division and brigade commanders, and general staff representatives within the airborne branch of the Russian Armed Forces.

Historical Background – VDV Command Structure:

The Command of the Airborne Forces (Командование ВДВ РФ) oversees all airborne operations, training, logistics, and strategic deployment of paratrooper units in the Russian military. Headquartered in Moscow, the VDV Command controls divisions such as the 106th, 76th, and 98th, as well as separate regiments and brigades.

It ensures coordination between airborne units and the General Staff, supervises doctrine development, and maintains the elite status of VDV as a rapid reaction force.

The sleeve patch serves as a visible symbol of authority and high responsibility within this elite branch.
