This establishment of Red Army Guards units occurred at a time when the Soviet Government was endeavoring to counteract the effects of initial reverses by associating its defensive war with all the greatest days and traditions of Russia's military past.

Should the banner be lost in battle because of faintheartedness, the commander and all officers are subject to court-martial, and the unit is broken up.
