The 11th Army Corps, (Russian: 11-й армейский корпус, romanized: 11-y Armeyskiy Korpus) is a tactical formation of the Coastal Troops of the Russian Navy, formed in 2016 as part of the Baltic Fleet, currently in the Leningrad Military District.
The corps is located in Kaliningrad Oblast, with its headquarters in the city of Gusev.[3]
The corps was formed on 1 April 2016, and operates from Kaliningrad Oblast. Its first commander was Yuri Yarovitsky.[3]
On 1 February 2021 the revival of the 75th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment at Sovetsk (until 1946 - the city of Tilsit), formerly part of the 40th Guards Tank Division, was reported.[4] It was reported that the new regiment would form part of the newly forming motor rifle division of the 11th Army Corps, likely a revived 1st Guards Motor Rifle Division. Sovetsk is located on the banks of the Neman River on the border with Lithuania, where the shortest land route to the border with the main part of Russia begins.
The Corps included an artillery brigade (with BM-27 Uragan and BM-30 Smerch heavy rocket launchers), missile and motor rifle brigades, and regiments for tanks, motor rifle and air defense.[5]
