The Independent Orders of Suvorov, Zhukov, Lenin and October Revolution Red Banner Operational Purpose Division named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation (ODON) is a unit of the internal troops of the Russian Federation.
The tasks of the Division are to maintain public order in Moscow and the Moscow Region, to combat terrorism and extremism, and, in time of war, to stand guard over important state facilities.
The division is capable of independently carrying out both highly specialized and general military tasks. It is motorized in full, mobile and in constant combat readiness.
Service personnel of the Division, in association with units of the Main Department of Internal Affairs in Moscow and the Moscow Region, keep guard over public order and public safety during social and political, mass cultural and sporting events, as well as perform Police Patrol and Checkpoint Service.
Currently, many servicemen of the Division are performing tasks during a special military operation.
For services to the Fatherland, the Division was awarded the Order of Lenin (1939), the Order of the Red Banner (1944), the Order of the October Revolution (1985), the Order of Zhukov (2014), and the Order of Suvorov (2024).
