The border guard of the USSR took an active part in the Afghan war (1979–1989) as part of the general military contingent of the Soviet Union. The main role of these units was to protect the state border, control the movement of weapons and militants across the border, and maintain security on important transport routes.
The main tasks of border troops in Afghanistan:
Border control: Their task was to prevent the infiltration of Afghan insurgents (mujahideen) through the borders of the USSR, in particular from the territory of Afghanistan to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.
Security of communications: Ensuring security on the transport routes (highways and railways) along which the supplies of Soviet troops and logistical support went.
Intelligence operations: Border guards participated in intelligence and special operations to fight the Mujahideen, and also had the task of identifying the routes through which various prohibited goods were transported.
Participation in combat operations: They participated in direct combat operations together with regular Soviet units, performing both independent operations and supporting army forces.
Features of the participation of border guards:The border forces in Afghanistan had well-trained units, equipped with both standard weapons for combat operations on the ground and specialized means for border control.Operations often took place in difficult geographical conditions - in the mountains, which required special skills and the ability to conduct combat operations in difficult terrain.Special attention was paid to the control of mountain passes through which weapons were smuggled.
The participation of the border troops of the USSR in Afghanistan was important for ensuring stability on the borders, as well as for conducting military operations against the insurgents, which had a significant impact on the overall strategy of the war.
