Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic or Revvoyensoviet ('Революционный Военный Совет, Реввоенсовет) was the supreme military authority of the Soviet Russia.
Until that moment there were two main military authorities, Supreme Military Council (Высший военный совет) and Operative Department of the People's Commissariat for Military Affairs (Оперативный отдел Народного комиссариата по военным делам).
The decree put all fronts and military organizations under the single command of the Revvoyensoviet headed by the Chairman, with a single commander-in-chief (главком) for strategic and operative military command statewise subordinated only to the Chairman of Revvoyensoviet.
