Russian Rosgvardiya Lieutenant Colonel Shoulder Board

This Rosgvardiya field shoulder board designates the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, worn by senior officers in the Russian National Guard. The board is 8×5cm in size and produced in a muted tactical format compatible with VKPO and field uniform systems.

It carries two stars and a wide central stripe, following the official layout defined by Russian military dress regulations. Officers at this level typically command battalions or serve as deputies in brigade-level formations.

Built for durability and low visibility, the field version of this rank insignia is actively used in exercises and operational missions. It is a genuine element of modern Rosgvardiya gear and reflects the continuing evolution of Russia’s internal security forces.

Historical Background:

The rank of Lieutenant Colonel (подполковник) holds significant leadership authority in Russian armed structures. Within Rosgvardiya, it is associated with unit-level command and administrative responsibility. Field shoulder boards like this one are a standard part of VKPO kits, used across multiple National Guard divisions since the force’s reorganization in 2016.
