THE FIELD GENDARMERIE OF THE ARMY OF UKRAINIAN PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC IN 1920


In spring 1920 with the assistance of Polish allies the Ukrainian People's Republic renewed its regular armed forces. An important role in this process was given to the establishment of military police bodies, namely the units of field gendarmerie that had to secure the order and ensure the appropriate level of discipline among soldiers. The proposed article deals with the formation of the first gendarmerie units in the Army of Ukrainian People's Republic, specific features of manning, professional training of future gendarmes and the conditions of their service both in the rear and the front.

Keywords: Ukrainian People's Republic, Army of Ukrainian People's Republic, Field Gendarmerie, military discipline, military police.
