Russian Armed Forces Rear Services Patch

8x10cm – official-style military insignia for personnel assigned to the Rear Services (Sluzhba Tyla) of the Russian military. This fabric patch features a Velcro (hook side) backing and is designed for field and garrison uniforms.

Rear Services represent the logistical backbone of the Armed Forces, providing essential support such as transport, supply, maintenance, medical aid, fuel, rations, and infrastructure during both peacetime and wartime.

The patch typically features the logistics symbol — often a sword crossed with a key — representing protection and supply.

Historical Background – Rear Services of the Russian Military:

The Rear Services (Tylo) form a crucial component of the Russian military structure, responsible for the continuous supply and sustainment of combat units. Their origin dates back to the logistics corps of the Imperial Russian Army and later expanded under the Red Army during WWII.

Modern Rear Services oversee fuel depots, repair battalions, military warehouses, transportation convoys, field kitchens, and medical stations. Though not front-line units, their operational reliability is vital to combat effectiveness across all branches of service.

These patches are worn by logistics officers, supply NCOs, drivers, medics, and technical specialists throughout the Russian military system.
