Abstract
The article examines the process of training marching units for the front in the 3rd Reserve Cavalry Brigade of the Siberian Military District during the Great Patriotic War. The sources of staffing the unit with variable composition in different periods of the war are identified. The organizational structure at the stages of formation and activity of the 6th Reserve Cavalry Regiment and its transformation into the 3rd Reserve Cavalry Brigade is characterized. The features of the organization and content of combat training are shown; attention is focused on its existing shortcomings, and their causes are established. The terms of training, the variable composition of senior and junior military personnel are determined. The volumes and dynamics of training marching reinforcements for cavalry units of the active army in 1941–1944 are shown. The composition of the marching reinforcements trained by the unit during the Great Patriotic War by military rank, age, nationality and its distribution among the fronts is analyzed.
