25th Rifle Corps

The 25th Army Corps was an army corps of the Soviet Ground Forces active from 1957-1960 and 1980-89. In its first period of existence it was in the Odessa Military District, and in its second period of existence it garrisoned the remote Kamchatka region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug of the Soviet Far East.

The predecessor 25th Rifle Corps appears to have begun the Second World War in transit to the Kiev Fortified Region as part of the 19th Army, formed just before the war began. It comprised the 127th Rifle Division, the 134th Rifle Division, and the 162nd Rifle Division. Bonn and Glantz say the 25th Rifle Corps was active from June-July 1941 (first formation) and then from February 1943 (second formation), with a total of six commanders. On 25 December 1944 it formed part of the 69th Army, with the 4th, 41st, 77th Guards, and 415th Rifle Divisions. 4th Rifle Division within the corps took part in the fighting for the Puławy bridge in Poland in January 1945, and was much weakened.

Feskov et al 2013 indicates that on 10 July 1945, the corps, with 274th, 328th, and 370th Rifle Divisions, was part of 69th Army, in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany, which had been formed the day before. However, the corps along with the remainder of 69th Army was disbanded in the summer of 1945.
