 Military Thought: Movement to contact and commitment to combat of reserve fronts
In 1943, the Reserve Front was recreated, albeit briefly (it was known as the Kursk Front on 24-27 March, and as the Orel Front on 27-28 March), in April it was transformed into the Stepnoy Military District, which on 9 July was redesignated the Stepnoy Front.

The front's forces were assigned to a flank of the strategic grouping of forces to press an attack along the coastal axis and thus reliably protect the right flank of the 1st Belorussian Front.
