1109 Tata, Physical characteristics, Rotation period
In July 2005, a rotational lightcurve of Tata was obtained from photometric observations by French amateur astronomer Laurent Bernasconi. Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 8.277 hours with a low brightness amplitude of 0.06 magnitude (U=2), indicative for a spherical shape. The astronomer also reported that several other period solution could be possible.


1109 Tata, Physical characteristics, Diameter and albedo
According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, Tata measures between 61.817 and 74.94 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo between 0.0378 and 0.0485.


1109 Tata, Physical characteristics, Diameter and albedo
The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts the results obtained by IRAS, that is, an albedo of 0.0378 and a diameter of 66.53 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.06.


1109 Tata, Naming
Any reference of this minor planet's name to a person or occurrence is unknown.


1109 Tata, Naming, Unknown meaning
Among the many thousands of named minor planets, Tata is one of 120 asteroids, for which no official naming citation has been published. All of these asteroids have low numbers between 164 Eva and 1514 Ricouxa and were discovered between 1876 and the 1930s, predominantly by astronomers Auguste Charlois, Johann Palisa, Max Wolf and Karl Reinmuth (also see category of asteroid names with unknown origin).

110t-class torpedo boat
The 110t class were a class of twelve coastal torpedo boats built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy between 1909 and 1911. They were built by two shipbuilders, the Austrian Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino and the Hungarian Ganz & Danubius, with six ships built each. They served through the First World War, with one of the ships, Tb 11, defecting to Italy in 1917. After the end of the war, several of the class were used by the Italian Navy and the Italian Customs Service, with the last example scrapped in 1926.


110t-class torpedo boat, Design
In 1905, the Austrian Naval Technical Committee proposed three designs for a 110 t coastal torpedo boat, differing in the machinery used, with steam turbines or vertical triple expansion engines to be used. By 1907, these had been refined to a single design, oil-fuelled but powered by a triple expansion engine as the designers had insufficient experience with turbines. This local design was compared with designs from the German shipyards Schichau-Werke and Krupp and the British shipyard Yarrow and was considered to be superior to the foreign designs.


110t-class torpedo boat, Design
It was initially planned for Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino (STT) to build eight ships at their Trieste shipyard, but it was required for political reasons that the work be divided between Austrian and Hungarian shipyards, and in the end six ships were built each at the Austrian STT shipyard and the Hungarian Ganz & Danubius yard at Fiume, with each shipbuilder building slightly different designs, with the Ganz & Danubius-built ships having different machinery in order to increase the Hungarian content in the ships.


110t-class torpedo boat, Design
The STT-built ships were 44.2 m (145 ft 0 in) long overall and 43.3 m (142 ft 1 in) at the waterline, with a beam of 4.4 m (14 ft 5 in) and a draught of 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in). Design displacement was 116 t (114 long tons). Two oil-fired Yarrow water-tube boilers fed steam to a three-cylinder vertical triple expansion engine, rated at 2,500 ihp (1,900 kW), which drove a single propeller shaft, giving a speed of 28 kn (32 mph; 52 km/h). The Danubius-built ships had a greater draught (1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) and used White-Forster boilers feeding steam to a triple-expansion engine rated at 2,400 ihp (1,800 kW), giving a speed of 26.5 kn (30.5 mph; 49.1 km/h).


110t-class torpedo boat, Design
Armament of all ships was two Škoda 47 mm (1.9 in) L/44 guns and two 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes. The ships had a crew of 20.


110t-class torpedo boat, Service
Construction of the ships began in April 1909, with deliveries starting at the end of that year, and continuing until May 1911. While in general the class proved adequately seaworthy, the inexperience of the Danubis shipyard resulted in their torpedo boats having a tendency to heel at high speeds owing to the torque of the single propeller. In 1910, Austria-Hungary's older coastal torpedo boats were redesignated, replacing their names with a number, and the 110t-class were renumbered, with their Roman numeral being replaced by an Arabic number.


110t-class torpedo boat, Service
At the outbreak of the First World War, the ships of the class were all serving in local coast defence forces, with four (Tb 1, Tb 2, Tb 7 and Tb 9) based at Pula as part of the 11th torpedo boat group, four (Tb 3, Tb 4, Tb 5 and Tb 6) based at Lussin as part of the 17th and 18th torpedo boat groups, and the remaining four (Tb 8, Tb 10, Tb 11 and Tb 12) at Šibenik to the  as part of the 19th torpedo boat group. Duties included minesweeping, escort and anti-submarine operations.


110t-class torpedo boat, Service
On the night of 30/31 July 1916, the Italian submarine Giacinto Pullino ran aground at Galiola Island in the Kvarner Gulf. Tb 4, Tb 6 and the Torpedo gunboat Magnet helped to capture the submarine, which sank under tow the next day. In March 1917, five ships of the class (Tb 1, Tb 3, Tb 6, Tb 7 and Tb 9 were based at Pola, with two (Tb 2 and Tb 4) at Lussin and four (Tb 8, Tb 10, Tb 11 and Tb 12) at Šibenik. On 26 August 1917, Tb 4 and Tb 6 were transferred to Trieste together with the old battleships Budapest and Wien to support army operations.


110t-class torpedo boat, Service
On 5 October 1917, the crew of Tb 11 mutinied, locking the ship's officers in their cabin and taking the ship from Šibenik to the Italian coast, where they surrendered the ship. Tb 11 was incorporated in the Italian Navy as the Francesco Rismondo. On 16 November, Tb 6 and Tb 9 were part of an escort of 14 torpedo boats for Budapest and Wien when the two battleships bombarded shore batteries at Cortellazzo. On 26 August 1918, six ships (Tb 1, Tb 2, Tb 3, Tb 5, Tb 6 and Tb 9) were based at Pola, while four more (Tb 8, Tb 10, Tb 12 and Tb 14) were based at Šibenik and one (Tb 4 at Trieste).


110t-class torpedo boat, Service
The ships were allocated to the Allies under the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye after the end of the war. Four ships (Tb 6, Tb 8, Tb 9 and Tb 10) were allocated to Great Britain, but were sold for scrap and broken up in 1920, while the remaining ships were allocated to Italy. Tb 1, Tb 2, Tb 4 and Tb 5 were scrapped in 1920, while Tb 12 was scrapped in 1922. Tb 3 and Tb 7 were operated by the Italian Customs Service, serving until 1925 and 1926 respectively, while Francesco Rismondo remained in service with the Italian Navy until 1925.

110th Bomb Squadron
The 110th Bomb Squadron (110 BS) is a unit of the Missouri Air National Guard 131st Bomb Wing located at Whiteman Air Force Base, Knob Noster, Missouri. The 110th is equipped with the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit.


110th Bomb Squadron
The 110 BS is the oldest unit in the Missouri Air National Guard, with over 90 years of service to the state and nation. It is a descendant organization of the World War I 110th Aero Squadron, established on 14 August 1917. It was reformed on 23 June 1923, as the 110th Observation Squadron, and is one of the 29 original National Guard Observation Squadrons of the United States Army National Guard formed before World War II.


110th Bomb Squadron
The 131st Bomb Wing, of which the 110th Bomb Squadron is a part, is the only Air National Guard Bomb Wing certified to conduct nuclear operations.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, World War I
Established at Kelly Field, Texas in August 1917 as the 110th Aero Squadron. Constructed facilities and engaged in supply and related base support activities. Later re-designated as 804th Aero Squadron (1 February 1918), then "Squadron K, Kelly Field"  in July 1918. Demobilized 1918 shortly after the Armistice with Germany.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri National Guard
Established by the Militia Bureau on 23 June 1923, which authorized the immediate organization of the 110th Observation Squadron, 35th Division Aviation, Missouri National Guard. First Headquarters was located in a filling station on Manchester Avenue. From there it was moved to a small room over a grocery store on Olive Street Road in St Louis County. Meetings were held at the Airport, then little more than a pasture, there were no airplanes and no uniforms for the enlisted men. The squadron's original authorized officer strength was 1 major, 5 captains, 11 1st lieutenants and 14 2nd lieutenants for a total of 31. In its early years, the squadron had only about half of its authorized officer strength. The squadron's first commanding officer was Major William B. Robertson.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri National Guard
The squadron's first flying equipment was a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny", which was purchased by the officers of the squadron and used for flight training until early 1924 when three surplus wartime JN-4's were received. The planes were housed in a corrugated sheet metal hangar erected on the field during the National Air Races in 1923 and later turned over to the squadron. Additional aircraft and equipment were received throughout 1924 and by the year's end a well received training program was in effect. Only eighteen months had elapsed since the unit was formally organized.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri National Guard
During the next few years the JN-4's were replaced by the PT-1, TW-3, O-11, and O-2H aircraft and the unit assumed a mission of observation and reconnaissance. Their chief pilot on the "St. Louis to Chicago" airmail run was a young man named Charles Lindbergh. Lindbergh became a member of the 110th as a 2nd lieutenant on 14 March 1925 and held the rank of captain when he made his historic 1927 Trans-Atlantic solo flight. Lindbergh remained a member of the squadron until 1929.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri National Guard
Men, equipment, and unit headquarters consolidated in a new hangar at Lambert Field in 1931. Summer field training conducted in the 1930s allowed 110th members to hone their skills on the K-17 Aerial Camera. The Douglas O-38 aircraft was received in 1933 and replaced in 1938 by the North American O-47A, an all-metal mid-wing observation aircraft.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri National Guard
The units first summer encampments were held in 1924 and 1925 at Camp Clark Nevada, Missouri. Subsequent encampments were at Fort Riley Kansas; Lambert Field St Louis; Eglin Field Florida; Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and St Cloud Minnesota.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, World War II
The Guardsmen were ordered into active service on 23 December 1940 as part of the buildup of the Army Air Corps after the Fall of France. The unit was sent to Little Rock, Arkansas and initially flew antisubmarine patrols over the Gulf of Mexico. After the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the squadron was sent to California where it flew patrols over the Southern California coast again performing antisubmarine patrols.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, World War II
In early 1943, it was assigned to Third Air Force and trained as a combat reconnaissance unit, being equipped with a mixture of photo-recon A-20 Havocs and B-25 Mitchells. Was deployed to Fifth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific in the fall of 1943 and flew reconnaissance missions over New Britain, New Guinea, and the Admiralty Islands from bases in New Guinea and Biak. Reinforced with armed P-40 and P-39 fighters, it also flew combat mission against Japanese installations, airfields, and shipping, while supporting Allied ground forces on New Guinea and Biak.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, World War II
During that time, it flew courier missions, participated in rescue operations, and hauled passengers and cargo. From November 1944, the group flew reconnaissance missions over Luzon, supported ground forces, photographed and bombed airfields in Formosa and China, and attacked enemy shipping in the South China Sea. A Presidential Unit Citation awarded for the 12/26/44 attack on Japanese Naval Task Force. In all, the unit destroyed 122 aircraft and 11 ships.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, World War II
At the end of the war, the 110th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron moved to Japan and was part of the occupation forces. It demobilized in the fall of 1945 and was inactivated in early 1946.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard
The wartime 110th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron was re-activated and re-designated as the 110th Fighter Squadron, and was allotted to the Missouri Air National Guard on 24 May 1946. It was organized at Lambert Field, St Louis, and was extended federal recognition on 1 January 1947 by the National Guard Bureau. The 119th Fighter Squadron was bestowed the history, honors, and colors of the wartime 110th TRS. The squadron was equipped with F-51D Mustang fighters and assigned to the Missouri ANG 131st Fighter Group. Its mission was the air defense of St Louis and the state of Missouri.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Korean War activation
On 1 March 1951 the 110th was federalized and brought to active-duty due to the Korean War. It was initially assigned to Strategic Air Command (SAC) and transferred to Bergstrom AFB, Texas and assigned to the Federalized Missouri ANG 131st Fighter-Bomber Group. The 131st FBG was composed of the 110th FS, the 192d Fighter Squadron (Nevada ANG), the 178th Fighter Squadron (North Dakota ANG), and the 170th Fighter Squadron (Illinois ANG). At Berstrom, its mission was as a filler replacement for the 27th Fighter-Escort Group which was deployed to Japan as part of SAC's commitment to the Korean War.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Korean War activation
The unit was at Bergstrom until November when it was transferred to Tactical Air Command (TAC) and moved to George AFB, California. At George, the unit was scheduled to be re-equipped with F-84D Thunderjets and was programmed for deployment to Japan, however, the F-84s were instead sent to France and the 131st Fighter-Bomber Wing remained in California and flew its F-51 Mustangs for the remainder of its federal service. The 110th Fighter-Bomber Squadron was released from active duty and returned to Missouri's control on 1 December 1952.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
Shortly after its return to Lambert Field, the 110th was reformed as a light bombardment squadron in January 1953 and was moved under Tactical Air Command. It received B-26 Invaders that returned from the Korean War and trained primarily in night bombardment missions, which the aircraft specialized in while in Korea.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
With the removal of the B-26 from bombing duties in 1957 as neared the end of their service lives, the 110th entered the Jet Age. The 110th received its first jet aircraft in the spring of 1957 when it received F-80 Shooting Stars. The 110th flew F-80s until June 1957, when it transitioned to the F-84F Thunderstreak fighter-bomber.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
On 1 October 1961, as a result of the 1961 Berlin Crisis, the mobilized Missouri Air National Guard 131st Tactical Fighter Wing deployed to Toul-Rosières Air Base, France as the 7131st Tactical Fighter Wing (Provisional). When activated as the 7131st TFW, it consisted of the 110, 169 and 170 TFS, from Lambert Field, St. Louis MO, Peoria Municipal Airport, Peoria IL, and Capitol Airport, Springfield IL, respectively. The designation 7131st was used as the Wing, composed of three federalized ANG squadrons, only deployed the 110th Tactical Fighter Squadron to France. The 169th and 170th TFS rotated personnel to Toul-Rosières during their period of activation due to budget restraints, however only one squadron's worth of aircraft and personnel were at Toul at any one time.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
While in France, the Guardsmen assumed regular commitments on a training basis with the U.S. 7th Army as well as maintaining a 24-hour alert status. The 7131st exchanged both air and ground crews with the Royal Danish Air Force's 730th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Skydstrup Air Station, Denmark, during May 1962. As the Berlin situation subsided, all activated ANG units were ordered to be returned to the United States and released from active duty. The 7131st TFW was inactivated in place in France on 19 July 1962 and left its aircraft and equipment to USAFE.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
After returning to St Louis, the unit was re-equipped with F-100C Super Sabres in late 1962. It trained with the F-100s for the next 17 years, during which time it upgraded to the F-100D in 1971. Although the 110th was not activated during the Vietnam War, many of the squadron's pilots were sent to F-100 squadrons in South Vietnam between 1968–1971. In 1977, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Charles Lindbergh's widow, gave permission to designate 110th Tactical Fighter Squadron as "Lindbergh's Own."


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Tactical Air Command
In 1978, the unit acquired the "home grown" McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom II, the aircraft primarily being piloted by Vietnam War veterans. Between June and July 1982, the 110th TFS deployed twelve Phantoms to RAF Leeming in the United Kingdom to participate in Exercise Coronet Cactus. The squadron again upgraded to the more advanced F-4E Phantom II in 1985 and in 1991 was again upgraded to the McDonnell Douglas F-15A/B Eagle air superiority aircraft when the F-4s were retired. The 110th was one of the last Air National Guard units to convert to the F-15.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Air Combat Command
More than 500 members from the 131st Fighter Wing and the tenant units located at Lambert International Airport were called into service to battle the Great Flood of 1993. In the post-Cold War era, the unit deployed to Incirlik AB, Turkey in support of Operation Northern Watch in 1996, 1997 and 1998.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Air Combat Command
Members of the 131st returned in October 2000 from duty rotations in Southwest Asia and Europe, while other unit members were still stationed overseas. Eventually, a total of about 430 wing members were scheduled to deploy, with the majority leaving in October 2000 for Prince Sultan AB, Saudi Arabia, in support of Operation Southern Watch. A little more than half of the deployed 131st Fighter Wing members and 12 F-15s made up the AEF-9's 110th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron (EFS). The 110th EFS primarily provides air superiority for Operation Southern Watch. AEF-9 was deployed from September through November 2000. In 2004, the improved F-15C Eagle arrived, replacing the older aircraft.

On 30 May 2007, a 110th FS F-15D pilot ejected safely from his aircraft (78-0571) just before it crashed during a training mission in rural Knox county, Indiana. The plane went down just before 11 am EDT south of Vincennes, near the Illinois border, as it conducted standard training maneuvers, according to a release from the National Guard. Investigators said the plane was flying at about 20,000 feet prior to the crash. The pilot had been with the 131st Fighter Wing for 12 years and was highly experienced, officials said. The unit had most recently enforced no-fly zones in Iraq. This crash decreased the 131st's aircraft count from 20 to 19.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Air Combat Command
On 2 November 2007, another F-15C (80-0034) from the 131st crashed in Mark Twain National Forest, in Missouri. No property was damaged and no people on the ground were hurt, however the pilot broke an arm and a shoulder, despite ejecting from the plane. The pilot also was said to be in "shock" when landowners found him. The crash was due to a flaw in a part of the plane's fuselage; this led to all F-15 aircraft being grounded at one point between November and January 2008. Since after the accidents, the 131st's flights have been reduced, also due to the wing slowly moving to flying B-2s. However the 131st and the F-15's were still on active duty.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Air Combat Command
In its 2005 BRAC recommendations, DoD recommended to realign the 131st Fighter Wing. The 110th's F-15s (15 aircraft) would be distributed to the 57th Fighter Wing, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada (nine aircraft), and 177th Fighter Wing, Atlantic City International Airport (AGS), New Jersey (six aircraft). After which, the unit was moved to Whiteman Air Force Base and became the first Air National Guard Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit "stealth bomber" unit.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Air Combat Command
The F-15's began to leave Lambert on 15 August 2008 and by January 2009, most of the 13 remaining aircraft were in the main hangar being stripped of markings or already had their markings removed. The final two F-15C's departed on 13 June 2009 after a closing ceremony titled "The End of an Era", that was attended by over 2,000 people. Some pilots were taking B-2 training courses while others are changing units, or decided to retire early. The 131st Fighter Wing was the most experienced F-15 Fighter wing in the United States; out of the four pilots that flew over 4,000 F-15 flight hours, three of them were from the unit.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Global Strike Command
The 110th Bomb Squadron, as part of the 131st Bomb Wing, transitioned to Air Force Global Strike Command on 4 October 2008 when the 131st Bomb Wing held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Whiteman AFB. The ceremony celebrated the first official drill for traditional guardsmen at Whiteman and the grand opening of building 3006, the 131st Bomb Wing's first headquarters there. On 16 June 2009, the last F-15 departed Lambert Field. In March 2011, crew from the 110th BS participated in Operation Odyssey Dawn, which saw airstrikes over Libya against the forces of Muammar Gaddafi.


110th Bomb Squadron, History, Missouri Air National Guard, Global Strike Command
In August 2013, the 131st Bomb Wing was deemed fully mission-capable, meaning that it fully completed the transition to Whiteman Air Force Base. In March 2020, the squadron deployed to RAF Fairford, UK, alongside the 509th Bomb Wing as part of a Bomber Task Force.

It was renumbered in 1988 as the 110th and reorganized under the United States Army Regimental System in 1988 before the 1st Squadron inactivated in 1996 as a result of reductions in the National Guard after the end of the Cold War.


110th Cavalry (United States, 1988–1996), History
The regiment was constituted on 27 February 1963 in the Massachusetts Army National Guard as the 26th Cavalry, a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System. It was organized on 1 March with the 1st Squadron, an element of the 26th Infantry Division. The 1st Squadron was redesignated from the 2nd Reconnaissance Squadron, 110th Armor, which had been organized in the Massachusetts NG on 1 May 1959. Between 16 and 19 December 1967, the 1st Squadron was reorganized and Troop C was allotted to the Connecticut Army National Guard.

110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union)
The 110th Cavalry Division (Russian: 110-я кавалерийская дивизия) was a horsed cavalry division of the Soviet Union's Red Army during World War II. It was formed in January 1942 as the 110th Separate Cavalry Division and reformed as the 110th Cavalry Division on 30 September 1942. Formed as a Kalmyk national division, its personnel were drawn from the Kalmyk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union)
The division arrived on the frontlines on 14 May 1942, covering the retreat of Soviet troops across river Don during the 1942 German strategic summer offensive (Case Blue). After suffering heavy casualties, it broke down into separate units while continuing to fight in the Battle of the Caucasus. It was disbanded on 27 January 1943, after the Soviet Union began to dissolve national divisions. Unsubstantiated rumors surrounding its alleged misconduct during the war contributed to the decision to deport Kalmyks to Siberia.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Formation
During the early stages of the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, the latter suffered massive casualties. Over one hundred Soviet divisions were disbanded due to losses in manpower. The Soviet State Defense Committee initiated the formation of hundreds of new divisions which were quickly sent to the front lines. Losses of materiel among the tank divisions and mechanized corps, meant that horsed cavalry divisions remained the only tool available for the execution of deep operations and raids.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Formation
On 13 November 1941, following the suggestion of General Inspector of the Cavalry Oka Gorodovikov, the Soviets began forming 20 national cavalry divisions and 15 national rifle brigades. The new units drew upon the peoples of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics of the Soviet Union (ASSRs), in Northern Caucasus, Central Asia, the Urals and the Lower Volga Region. Unlike typical cavalry divisions, national cavalry divisions were equipped and sustained using the funds of the respective republics and their formation was overseen by the local communist party committees. Most officers were appointed from among the native nationality, in order to prevent the development of a language barrier.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Formation
On 20 November 1941, Deputy Defense Narkom Efim Shadenko ordered the Kalmyk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to form the 110th and 111th Separate Cavalry Divisions by January 1942. Most Kalmyks had only recently transitioned to sedentism, severely limiting the number of settlements that could host the new divisions. The 3,498-man-strong 110th Separate S.M. Budyonny Cavalry Division was to be formed in the Sadovoe, Tundutovo and Malye Derbety villages. Men were drafted from Serpinsky, Ketchenerovsky, Maloderbetsky, Ustinsky, Privolzhsky, Ulan-Holsky and Lagansky Uluses (Districts), located in the north and east of the republic.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Formation
Since the command staff had departed the republic for the front lines, the first temporary commander of the division was appointed by the local political authorities. Former head of the Kalmyk ASSR Selhozbank (Agricultural Bank), Lieutenant Michael Onguldushev assumed command. In January 1942, command was transferred to Colonel Vasily Panin. Mobilization and training lagged behind schedule since over 16,000 Kalmyks were employed in various engineering projects around the Caucasus. On 23 February, the 110th Separate Cavalry Division received its military banner and its soldiers took the military oath.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Formation
On the same day its size was expanded to 4,494 men, while soldiers were assigned to their respective units within it. On 4 March, the Soviet High Command disbanded 20 cavalry divisions after deeming cavalry to be less effective than expected. The 111th Separate Cavalry Division was disbanded on 12 March, its best cadres and equipment being transferred to the 110th Separate Cavalry Division. The latter dispatched 1,000 of its least trained recruits to reserve units. At 20 April, the 110th was judged to be fully equipped, now numbering 4,579 men and 4,825 horses. The 273rd, 292nd and 311th Cavalry Regiments forming its core.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Defense of the Don
On 14 May 1942, the 110th Separate Cavalry Division was deployed to Zimovniki, Rostov Oblast. On 26 May 1942, after marching for 328 kilometres (204 mi) the 110th Separate Cavalry Division reached the Don river village of Kuteynovskaya. After joining the 17th Cavalry Corps, the division continued its training. In June, the Germans reached the banks of the Don.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Defense of the Don
The German Army Groups A and B were tasked with encircling and annihilating the Soviet troops crossing the river, capturing the Caucasus and seizing the city of Stalingrad in what came to be known as Case Blue, the 1942 German strategic summer offensive. This would deny the Soviet Union its strategic oil and gas reserves and block the Persian Corridor of the Allied Lend-Lease programme.

The Soviet North Caucasian Front responded by sending forward the 51st Army (which included the 110th Separate Cavalry Division) to the left bank of the Don. On 5 June, the 110th was assigned a 58-kilometre (36 mi) section of the front ranging from the Bagayevskaya to Semikarakorsk, while the 115th Cavalry Division protected a 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) stretch from Konstantinovka to Semikarakorsk on its northern flank. On 13 July, the Soviet High Command ordered all units remaining west of the Don to cross the river and concentrate at Stalingrad. The two divisions facilitated the retreat of those units, by providing anti-aircraft cover and collecting abandoned equipment. Between 16 and 27 July, 110th Separate Cavalry Division shot down five German aircraft using Maxim guns and rifle fire.

The 115th Cavalry Division came under a massed tank attack and was heavily bombed, retreating from its positions. On 18 July, the 110th withdrew to the Sal river, establishing its headquarters at Batlaevka. The same day its positions became the target of heavy aerial bombing and artillery fire, while its advanced guard exchanged fire with the enemy, losing five killed and seven wounded. On 20 July, it lost 50 killed and dozens wounded to aerial bombardments and strafing.

On 21 July, the 273rd Cavalry Regiment ambushed a unit of motorcyclists and two armored cars in a vineyard in the outskirts of the Puchliakovskaya village. The Germans retreated after suffering casualties and launched a second attack which was beaten off. On the night of 21 July, the 311th Cavalry Regiment's Reconnaissance Platoon was attacked by elements of the Motorized Infantry Division Großdeutschland at Kerchik, losing half of its troops killed.

On the morning of 22 July, the II. and III. Grenadier Battalions of the Großdeutschland Division established a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Don at Puchliakovskaya and Melichovskaya which were abandoned by Soviet troops. Augmented by a tank company the I. Grenadier Battalion advanced on Razdorskaya village. The village and the nearby pontoon crossing was defended by the 3rd NKVD Battalion, the 1st Militsiya Battalion, two 45 mm guns and two anti-tank riflemen teams of the 273rd Cavalry Regiment. Anti -tank rifleman Sergeant Erdny Delikov opened fire at 150 metres (490 ft), destroying two tanks and one truck.

The Germans received air support after firing flares, and the ensuing bombardment knocked out one of the 45 mm guns and both of the anti-tank rifles, mortally injuring Delikov. The delaying action at Razdorskaya enabled all retreating Soviet units in the vicinity to safely withdraw over the Don. On 31 March 1943, Delikov was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union, the first Kalmyk to receive the honor. By the end of the day, two out of the three river crossings located in the 110th Separate Cavalry Division's area of responsibility had fallen into enemy hands. The Bagaevskaya crossing remained intact, allowing the staff of the 37th Army, the 3rd Rifle Corps, 5th and 15th Tank Brigades and other smaller units to evade encirclement. On 22 July, the 110th was placed under the operational control of the 37th Army.

On 23 July, Großdeutschland's motorcycle battalion, supported by three tanks, three armored cars, eight armored personnel carriers (APCs) and two heavy artillery pieces launched an assault on Bagaevskaya. The 292nd Cavalry Regiment repelled the first attack with the aid of an artillery and mortar barrage. The Germans lost a tank, four APCs and two armored cars. At 15:30, the Germans attacked again after a series of airstrikes, but were thrown back to their starting positions. On 24 July, the Germans conducted another unsuccessful attack on Bagaevskaya, losing five APCs, two tanks and two artillery pieces.

The 292nd Cavalry Regiment blew up the Bagaevskaya bridge at 12:00 a.m. Having lost 150 men killed and wounded and over 200 horses, the 292nd withdrew to the Susat-Karpovka line. On 25 July, the III Panzer Corps broke through Soviet defenses south of Konstantinovskaya, putting the 110th Separate Cavalry Division in danger of encirclement. On the night of 25/26 July, it began augmenting its fortifications at Karpovka. The following morning, the Germans struck Karpovka and Azhinov, although the 110th Separate Cavalry Division stubbornly resisted enemy attempts to advance.

Hundreds of its soldiers were killed, including Divisional Commissar Sergei Zayarny and Division Chief of Staff Alexei Raab. The divisional headquarters building was destroyed, burying with it the divisional and the regimental flags, which were recovered under intense enemy fire. The division conducted an organized retreat over the Manych river during the night.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Defense of the Don
During the two weeks of fighting on the Don, the 110th Separate Cavalry Division lost approximately 1,000 men killed or missing in action and 700 wounded. According to Russian historian Vladimir Ubushaev, it managed to destroy up to four battalions of motorized infantry, 30 tanks, 55 armored cars, 45 mortars, 20 artillery pieces, 40 machine guns. In total, the 110th Separate Cavalry Division's delaying actions on the Don enabled over 425,000 men, 215 tanks, 1,300 artillery pieces, over 8,000 tractors and cars, 22,000 horses and other equipment to be safely transported to the Soviet rear.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
Between 27 and 29 July, the 110th fought a series of defensive battles around Tuzlukov, Krasniy and Veseliy in the vicinity of the Manych. Having suffered heavy casualties it withdrew under the orders of the 37th Army commander. Unable to build an adequate distance from German motorized troops to regroup and suffering losses as a result of German air supremacy it made a fighting retreat to Mozdok. The unit broke into numerous columns in order to minimize casualties; the bulk of its forces marched through Bashanta and Voroshilovsk.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
It clashed with enemy troops at Salsk, Sandata, Sablino and north-east of Voroshilovsk. In the middle of August, a part of the division took up defense positions at Voznesenskaya outside Mozdok, while a smaller group retreated to Maykop and Astrakhan. In the Northern Caucasus elements of the 110th merged into the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps, while in Astrakhan they came under the control of the 28th Army. The core of the division, stationed at Voznesenskaya, became an independent unit within the Northern Army Group of the Transcaucasian Front.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
By the beginning of September, the division had lost over 3,000 men killed and wounded, as well as 80% of its horses. On 5 September, the Military Committee of the Northern Army Group ordered the 110th's commander Colonel Vladimir Homutnikov to protect the newly built Kizlyar–Astrakhan railway. The division thus came under the control of the 44th Army. The division's sector of responsibility extended from the Cherniy Runok to the Zenzeli station in their native Kalmyk ASSR. The Germans attempted to disrupt the railway's operation by attacking the Ulan Hol station with a motorized infantry battalion and 10 tanks.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
A counterattack by the 292nd Cavalry Regiment cost the Germans 100 men killed, two tanks and three trucks. The 110th later marched 500 kilometres (310 mi) to Aga-Batyr north-east of Mozdok, where it helped the 36th Cavalry Division avoid encirclement. After 15 days of continuous fighting, the division liberated Terekli-Mekteb, Achikulak, Aga-Batyr, Tarskiy, Michailovskiy, Poltavskiy and Sovkhoz "Mozdokskiy".


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
On 16 September, the division was reinforced by a group of Kalmyk cadets from the Novocherkassk Cavalry School. On 30 September, the 110th Separate Cavalry Division was officially disbanded. It was simultaneously reformed as the 110th Cavalry Division, drawing personnel from the Ordzhonikidze Krai and the unoccupied Uluses of the Kalmyk ASSR. The reformation dragged on as all available motor transport and horses in the Kalmyk ASSR had already been requisitioned. By the middle of November, the division's strength reached 2,719 men, only 30% of whom were Kalmyks.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
On 12 December, the division was incorporated into the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps, taking part in the fighting around Terekli-Mekteb. On 1 January 1943, the Northern Army Group of the Transcaucasian Front launched a counter-offensive. On 4 January, the 110th breached enemy lines at Achikulak. On 10 January, the division annihilated the defenders of the Orlovskaya and Praskovey fortified positions, capturing Budyonnovsk. Continuing its push, it covered the right flank of the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps. In the process, the division seized dozens of villages in the Ordzhonikidze Krai, Dagestan ASSR and Rostov Oblast, as well as the Zapadniy and Yashaltinskiy Uluses.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Operations, Battle of the Caucasus
In late January 1943, the Soviet Union began reorganizing its divisions. Recruitment based on ethnicity was deemed to be too logistically complex and many national divisions were disbanded. On 27 January, the 110th Cavalry Division was disbanded and its personnel were split between various units within the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Accusations of collaboration
As early as the division's withdrawal from the Don, rumors began to spread that its personnel had turned to banditry, fled in the face of the enemy or outright defected. In November 1942, Kalmyk ASSR Communist Party First Secretary P. Lavrentiev sent Shadenko a series of letters accusing the staff of the 51st Army of spreading baseless and malicious rumors about the division. The rumors had an immediate effect on the treatment of ethnic Kalmyks by the Soviet military.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Accusations of collaboration
Individual commanders within the 51st and 28th Armies attempted to deport Kalmyk civilians from a 25-kilometre (16 mi) zone around the frontlines. Ethnic Kalmyks were likewise blamed for not evacuating their cattle in time and defecting into the collaborationist Kalmykian Cavalry Corps. The latter was formed in Germany during the spring of 1943 from Kalmyk men taken by the Germans as forced laborers and defectors among prisoners of war.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Accusations of collaboration
Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov later cited reports about the alleged disintegration of the 110th Cavalry Division coming from the 37th and 51st Armies during a session of the State Defense Committee. Those reports are believed to have served as the catalyst behind the 27 December 1943 decision to deport Kalmyks to Siberia. Former soldiers of the 110th Cavalry Division were among the Kalmyks recalled from active service and deported to Siberia. Many of whom died in special settlements.


110th Cavalry Division (Soviet Union), Accusations of collaboration
A report issued by NKVD officer A. Leontiev accused the division of turning to banditry en masse and spreading defeatist rumors in their native republic. While there are records of a limited number of defections among the 110th Cavalry Division, both modern and Soviet historiography consider the accusations leveled against the division a myth.

110th Division (Imperial Japanese Army)
The 110th Division (第110師団, Dai-hyakujū Shidan) was an infantry division of the Imperial Japanese Army. Its call sign was the Eagle Division (鷲兵団, Sagi Heidan). It was formed 16 June 1937 in Himeji as a B-class square division. The nucleus for the formation was the 10th division headquarters. It was originally subordinated to the Northern China Area Army.

During that period, the division was mostly deployed on the north of Hebei province with the headquarters in Tianjin. In January 1938, the headquarters were moved to Baoding and zone of responsibility changed to the southern part of Hebei province. From April 1938, the division was further relocated to Shijiazhuang, mostly guarding the Beijing–Guangzhou Railway.


110th Division (Imperial Japanese Army), Action
As Japanese forces were stretched thin, the 110th division participated in numerous and ultimately unsuccessful anti-guerilla operations against the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Communist Stronghold in North China. The 140th infantry regiment was transferred to 71st division in April–May 1942, transforming the 110th division into a triangular division.

110th Division (People's Republic of China)
In February 1952 the division was inactivated and merged with 107th Division.


110th Guards Rifle Division
The 110th Guards Rifle Division was formed as an elite infantry division of the Red Army from  July into September 1943, based on the 5th Guards Rifle Brigade and the 7th Guards Rifle Brigade and was the third of a small series of Guards divisions formed on a similar basis. It would follow a very similar combat path to the 108th and 109th Guards Rifle Divisions and would serve well into the postwar era.


110th Guards Rifle Division
The 110th joined the active Army on September 7 as part of 37th Army of Steppe Front during the advance through eastern Ukraine to the Dniepr River. Upon reaching this objective late in the month it helped to force a crossing southeast of Kremenchug following which nearly 30 of the division's personnel were made Heroes of the Soviet Union. By October 10 the bridgehead was well established and on the 15th the division began breaking out as part of 5th Guards Army.


110th Guards Rifle Division
In very short order in December and January 1944 the 110th Guards was awarded a divisional honorific, the Order of the Red Banner and the Order of Suvorov. During February it was transferred to the 49th Rifle Corps of 53rd Army; it would remain under this Army command for the duration of the war and this Corps for most of it. Along with the rest of 2nd Ukrainian Front it reached the border of Moldavia along the Dniestr River in early April but the advance soon stalled along this line.


110th Guards Rifle Division
When a new offensive against the Axis forces began in August the 53rd Army played a secondary role and quickly advanced through Romania and into Hungary, reaching the border with Slovakia by December. Once Budapest fell in February 1945 the 110th Guards joined in the offensive which overran the latter country in March and April, during which its regiments received several decorations.


110th Guards Rifle Division
After finishing the war with Germany near Prague it then moved with its Army to the far east, joining the 18th Guards Rifle Corps, and took part in the offensive into Manchuria, winning a second battle honor in the process although it saw little actual fighting. After the war it was moved with its Corps to western Siberia but was soon converted back to a Guards rifle brigade at Irkutsk.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation
By mid-1943 most of the Red Army's remaining rifle brigades were being amalgamated into rifle divisions as experience had shown this was a more efficient use of manpower.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation, 5th Guards Rifle Brigade
This brigade began service as the 2nd formation of the 1st Airborne Brigade which had formed in Volkhov Front in February - March 1942. It was soon assigned to the 6th Guards Rifle Corps but largely remained in the Front reserves until July 30 when it began reforming as the 5th Guards Rifle Brigade far to the south in the Transcaucasus Military District. In August it was moved to the North Caucasus where it joined the 10th Guards Rifle Corps and it remained under this command until it was reformed.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation, 5th Guards Rifle Brigade
For nearly a year it took part in battles against German Army Group A in the Caucasus region, eventually facing the defenses of 17th Army in the Kuban bridgehead in the early summer of 1943. In July it was removed to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command and sent to the Voronezh region.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation, 7th Guards Rifle Brigade
The 7th Guards was formed from July 30 to August 10, 1942 from the 3rd formation of the 3rd Airborne Brigade in the Transcaucasus Military District and was immediately assigned to the 10th Guards Rifle Corps. By January 1943 it had reached the German defenses in the Taman Peninsula and for the next several months was involved in the costly and mostly futile battles of attrition for these powerful positions, during which it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner on March 31. In July it was also moved to the Reserve of the Supreme High Command for rebuilding and reforming.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation, 7th Guards Rifle Brigade
On August 3, 1943 the combined brigades officially became the 110th Guards in the 37th Army which was in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command; as they were already Guards formations there was no presentation of a Guards banner. Once the division completed its reorganization its non-standard order of battle was as follows:


110th Guards Rifle Division, Formation, 7th Guards Rifle Brigade
The division was placed under the command of Col. Mikhail Ivanovich Ogorodov who had previously served as deputy commanding officer of the 3rd Rifle Corps and had been appointed commander of the 7th Guards Brigade while it was in Reserve. It had considerably more artillery than a standard regular or Guards rifle division, close to that of a small rifle corps. (Its veterinary hospital also shared the same number with that of the 109th Guards.) When it joined the active army in September it was noted that 70 percent of its personnel were of several Asian nationalities while nearly all the remainder were Russian. The division did not inherit the Order of the Red Banner from the 7th Brigade.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
As of the beginning of September the 37th Army consisted of four rifle divisions (62nd Guards, 92nd Guards, 110th Guards and 53rd Rifle Division) all under command of 57th Rifle Corps. As the Red Army advanced through eastern Ukraine that month the Army was released from the Reserve of the Supreme High Command to reinforce Steppe Front (as of October 20 2nd Ukrainian Front). The Army began its offensive operation on September 24 along the approaches to the Dniepr in conjunction with the neighboring 53rd and 7th Guards Armies.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
Steppe Front was facing the German 8th Army and part of the 1st Panzer Army which at this time were withdrawing toward Kremenchug in order to cross the Dniepr and organize a defense on its right (west) bank. 37th Army was in the Front's second echelon and was tasked with seizing a bridgehead southeast of that city following initial crossings by 69th Army. This Army had been weakened in previous fighting and was disregarded as a threat by the German command.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
37th Army's commander, Lt. Gen. M. N. Sharokhin, was ordered to force march to the 69th's sector and capture a bridgehead between Uspenskoye and Myshuryn Rih on September 27. For this purpose the Army was heavily reinforced from the 69th Army, including the 89th Guards Rifle Division and a great deal of artillery. As of September 25 the 110th Guards recorded a strength of 8,818 men; 490 light and 171 heavy machine guns; 75 82mm and 16 120mm mortars; 40 45mm antitank guns; 32 76mm cannons and 12 122mm howitzers. (The division's additional artillery assets are not included.) This was very similar to that of the other divisions in 57th Corps.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
The division comprised the Corps' second echelon and was ordered to concentrate in the Baranniki–Zabegailovka–Kovalenki area by 1600 hours on September 27, making ready to force the river. The forward detachments of the first echelon 62nd Guards and 92nd Guards had reached the Dniepr as early as 0200 hours that day while the 110th Guards was on the march northeast of Ozery, 15-20km from the river. The leading divisions were unable to immediately start crossing operations due to the absence of equipment and had to gather materials for rafts and other improvised means.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
General Sharokhin and a group of staff officers soon arrived at Ozery and organized an auxiliary command post. 37th Army's crossing sector was 29km wide and the Army had a total of 1,204 guns and mortars available, although a significant number of these had fallen behind due to shortages of fuel. 57th Corps had about 655 guns and mortars available to support the crossings of the forward detachments.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
The remnants of the German 106th and 39th Infantry Divisions, numbering about 4,500 officers and men with up to 200 machine guns and up to 160 guns and mortars, were withdrawing across the river near the village of Koleberda en route to taking up a 25km-wide defensive sector along the west bank. In addition elements of the 8th SS Cavalry Division Florian Geyer were operating on that bank.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
The 62nd Guards was able to land two battalions beginning at the onset of darkness on the 27th, one on an island southwest of Soloshino and the other at a jetty north of Myshuryn Rih. At the same time the 92nd Guards attempted a crossing to another island south of Botsuly but this was discovered while still in mid-river; two pontoons were sunk by artillery fire and a third forced back which caused the crossing to be suspended.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
By the end of the day on September 28 the 62nd's 182nd Guards Rifle Regiment held a bridgehead 4-6km deep and 5-6km wide while the 184th Guards Regiment had also obtained a smaller but still substantial lodgement. The main goal of 37th Army on September 29-30 was to expand the existing bridgeheads, consolidate them, and repel increasingly powerful counterattacks. Overnight on September 28/29 the 110th Guards was committed from 57th Corps' second echelon to reinforce the 62nd Guards' bridgeheads.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
As well various crossing equipment arrived with the Army, including 21 half-pontoons and 67 boats, both A-3 small inflatables and collapsible canvas-sided types. During the day elements of the 23rd Panzer Division began arriving in the Myshuryn Rih area. Overnight on September 29/30 the 92nd Guards' 282nd Guards Rifle Regiment was landed in the 62nd Guards bridgehead east of Deriivka, while the remainder of that division's own forces, apart from its artillery regiment, crossed as well.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
The 110th Guards was directed to launch its main attack, after crossing, on Kutsevolovka and Ustimovka and occupy a line from Hill 158.4 to Yasinovatka and subsequently to take Ustimovka. Sharokhin was determined to have four divisions across the Dniepr by the end of September 29 holding a bridgehead 30km wide and 10km deep, but this was unrealistic. Since most of the available crossing equipment was in use by the 62nd Guards the division was delayed until 1700 hours, well behind schedule.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
By midnight two battalions of the 310th Guards Rifle Regiment and all three of the 313th Guards Regiment's battalions had entered the 62nd Guards' bridgehead, with the latter Regiment concentrating in the Koshikov ravine along the northern outskirts of Myshuryn Rih on the 62nd Guards' right flank. The 307th Guards Rifle Regiment and the divisional artillery remained on the east bank. Heavy fighting for the bridgehead began at dawn. 23rd


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
Panzer had been ordered to eliminate the foothold, and began with two attacks from 0500 to 0600 hours with up to a battalion of infantry backed by 20 tanks from the Nezamozhnik area. These attacks were beaten off by artillery and machine gun fire but a renewed effort from Kaluzhino at 1100 hours managed to break through with 15 tanks and 11 Sd.Kfz. 251 vehicles carrying infantry to the area of height 127.5.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
A decisive counterattack drove these off but the 62nd Guards had to largely rely on its own resources; the 110th Guards was forced to be committed piecemeal and along several axes and without necessary artillery support. The 310th and 307th Guards Regiments reached Lake Liman and got into a battle for Deriivka while Sharokhin ordered the 313th Guards Regiment to move up to the northeastern outskirts of Myshuryn Rih to secure the Army's flank.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
For October 1 the 92nd Guards and 110th Guards received orders to seize Deriivka and reach a line from the Pershe Travnya Collective Farm to Petrovka to Ploskoye. Meanwhile the 43rd Tank Regiment was directed to cross to the right bank overnight and to operate with the division to expand the bridgehead; it was able to convey nine T-34s before dawn. By this time the German defense included from 100-130 tanks with the arrival of lead elements of 3rd SS Panzergrenadier Division Totenkopf and Großdeutschland Division.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr
During the morning the division finally completed its crossing and the 307th and 310th Guards Regiments were fighting for the southern part of Deriivka and Kutsevolovka; by day's end the division had captured the southeastern part of Deriivka, Hill 167.8 and Kutsevolovka. In addition the 313th Guards Regiment, in cooperation with the 30th Guards Airborne Regiment of the 10th Guards Airborne Rifle Division (82nd Rifle Corps), cleared Myshuryn Rih and reached its southern outskirts. Despite these gains the overall bridgehead remained much the same size due to ongoing counterattacks and the persistent shortage of crossing equipment and ammunition.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
By 1400 hours on October 2 the 43rd Tanks completed its crossing and assisted the 110th Guards in repelling two powerful counterattacks before advancing together up to 1000m and taking the line of heights from point 179.9 to point 192.7. General Sharokhin's first priority for the following day was to link up the lodgements of his 57th Corps and the 89th Guards. However, the German forces in the area south of Myshuryn Rih were now being reinforced with elements of the 6th Panzer Division.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
During the day the 307th Guards Regiment was involved in fighting for Hill 158.4 and Guardsman Pavel Sergeevich Ponomaryov began his path toward becoming one of nearly 30 men of the division to be made Heroes of the Soviet Union. Serving as a gun layer on one of the Regiment's 45mm antitank guns he moved his gun to an open space when the advance was being held up a German heavy machine gun; with one shot he destroyed the position. Later that day, during a counterattack his fire destroyed a tank and an automobile.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
On October 7 the Regiment was counterattacked at height 177.0 by infantry supported by 10 tanks. After assisting other gunners in forcing the infantry to ground with the fire of fragmentation shells Ponomaryov set the lead tank on fire and knocked out two more at a range of 150m-200m, forcing the rest to retreat. On February 22, 1944 he was awarded the Gold Star and the Order of Lenin while he was in hospital, having been seriously wounded in both legs on October 26. He never returned to the front but continued to serve in the training establishment until 1976 when he retired with the rank of captain. He died at Tashkent in 1990.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
37th Army had received more crossing equipment and overnight on October 3/4 began moving the 1st Mechanized Corps to the west bank; by morning all of 57th Corps, including artillery, was over as well. The Corps renewed the offensive along with 82nd Corps but they were unable to achieve any decisive success due to fierce resistance and numerous counterattacks. Units of the 110th Guards were involved in particularly heavy fighting. Despite this by day's end four ferry crossings to the bridgehead were operating regularly and its depth, now up to 8km, prevented aimed German artillery fire against them.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
On the following night the division made an attack and occupied a line from height 118.1 to height 105.2 to height 177.0. Its officers and men acted boldly and decisively in this night action. Having broken into the trench line the Guardsmen killed 20 German soldiers in hand-to-hand combat and captured a gun. The commander of a platoon, Lieutenant Maslya, turned the weapon on the German troops and forced them to fall back. Although wounded, Maslya continued to lead his unit.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
For October 6 Sharokhin placed the priority on linking up with the 7th Guards Army's bridgehead and ordered the 57th Corps to hold its positions and pin down the German forces to prevent them from interfering with the main effort. During the next four days stubborn fighting continued along the 37th Army's front. On October 9 the action was particularly intense on the 110th Guards' sector, where the German forces undertook eight counterattacks in strength of one to two battalions of infantry supported by 8-12 tanks.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
In bitter fighting and at heavy cost these attacks managed to push back elements of the division on individual sectors. The 307th Guards Rifle Regiment was pushed back on the night of October 8/9 to the area of height 177.0. This point was only seized when all its defenders were killed or wounded, but the struggle continued into the morning when a company of scouts and sappers from the Regiment's headquarters retook the height. During the afternoon a further costly attack put the position in German hands again.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
On this day another man of the division earned the Gold Star of a Hero of the Soviet Union. Guardsman Gainansha Haydarshinovich Haydarshin was a section leader of the 117th Guards Sapper Battalion and during the day made no fewer than 27 boat crossings of the Dniepr carrying men, equipment and ammunition. On the last trip his boat was pierced by a mortar shell fragment and began to sink but he was able to repair it well enough to make the far bank.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
After landing he joined the fighting on Hill 177.0 and knocked out a tank despite being injured by blast. His award was decreed on February 22, 1944 and his Gold Star was presented personally by Marshal G. K. Zhukov. Haydarshin was discharged from the Red Army the same month and returned to his native Bashkiria where he worked in agriculture until his retirement. He died on December 4, 2006 at the age of 95.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Battle of the Dniepr, Battle for Height 177.0
During the next day it became clear that the German forces were exhausted and the Front commander, Col. Gen. I. S. Konev, ordered the 5th Guards Army to enter the Myshuryn Rih bridgehead and expand it in preparation for a planned breakout by 5th Guards Tank Army in the direction of Piatykhatky.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine
The 110th Guards was transferred to 5th Guards Army later in the month after that Army crossed to the west bank and served into early November directly under Army control. The Kremenchug-Pyatikhatki Offensive began on October 15 when a dozen rifle divisions attacked out of the bridgehead and by the next day had torn open the left flank of 1st Panzer Army. On October 18 Piatykhatky was liberated, cutting the main railroads to Dnepropetrovsk and Kryvyi Rih, which was the obvious next objective. The lead elements of 2nd Ukrainian Front reached the outskirts of Kryvyi Rih but were counterattacked on the 27th by the XXXX Panzer Corps, driving them back some 32km and doing considerable damage to the Red Army formations in the process.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Battles in the Dniepr Bend
On November 13 the 2nd Ukrainian Front gained several small bridgeheads on both sides of Cherkasy and quickly expanded the one north until it threatened to engulf the city and tear open the front of German 8th Army. Ten days later, with gaps in its front lines around the Cherkasy bridgehead and north of Kryvyi Rih, the chief of staff of that Army pleaded for permission to stage a general withdrawal but this was denied.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Battles in the Dniepr Bend
During November and the first three weeks of December Konev was content to fight a battle of attrition with the 1st Panzer and 8th Armies which he could better afford, gradually clearing the right bank of the Dniepr north to Cherkasy. As of December 1 the 110th Guards was in the 32nd Guards Rifle Corps of 5th Guards Army.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Battles in the Dniepr Bend
On December 6 the division was recognized for its role in the expansion of the Dniepr bridgehead and the liberation of the city of Aleksandria with its name as a battle honor. Just days later, on December 10 the 110th Guards was awarded the Order of the Red Banner in recognition of its role in this fighting, The Front was ordered over to the defensive on December 20 as replacements were absorbed by the fighting units and supplies were replenished.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Battles in the Dniepr Bend
On January 5, 1944 it threw a powerful blow directly at the boundary between the 8th and 6th German Armies which broke through and swept northward, reaching nearly to Kirovograd in a matter of hours. The next day the attack swept north and south around the city, encircling the XXXXVII Panzer Corps, which was forced to break out and abandon the city on January 8. On the same date the division was decorated with the Order of Suvorov, 2nd Degree. Colonel Ogorodov was hospitalized due to illness on January 10 and was replaced by his deputy commander Col. Dmitrii Filippovich Sobolev.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Battles in the Dniepr Bend
Appalling freeze-and-thaw weather brought the offensive to a premature end on the 16th. On January 24 a Front reconnaissance-in-force hit a nearly 20km-wide stretch of 8th Army's line between Cherkasy and Kirovograd where there was no more than one infantryman for every 15 metres of front and penetrated deeply. This marked the start of the start of the encirclement battle of Korsun–Cherkassy which continued until February 16 but did not involve 5th Guards Army or the 110th Guards directly.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
In February the division was transferred to the 49th Rifle Corps in 53rd Army, and it would remain in this Army for the duration of the war. The Soviet spring offensive in the south began on March 4. 53rd Army was west of a line from Kirovograd to Cherkasy roughly in the center of its Front. Marshal Konev's first target was the city of Uman, which was taken on March 9, but two days earlier a secondary thrust by his left flank armies again struck the 6th Army/8th Army boundary. Within days the German forces were in full retreat toward the Southern Bug River, but the advance did not end there.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
By April 1, after advancing through western Ukraine, 2nd Ukrainian Front was beginning to reach the Dniestr River. The 21st Guards Rifle Corps, supported on the left by 49th Corps, crossed the river on April 1 and 2 and began advancing against the 3rd Panzer Division's bridgehead defenses north of Susleni from the northeast and east. While this advance continued the 49th Corps attacked 3rd Panzer's right wing through April 4 and 5, with the 110th Guards and 1st Guards Airborne Rifle Divisions in first echelon and the 375th Rifle Division was in second echelon.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
Susleni was taken on April 7, which drove the panzer troops south to even stronger defenses. On the 11th the continued joint operation of the two Soviet Corps captured the town of Molovata on the west bank; this gave room for the 375th to be regrouped across the Dniestr and also rendered the bridgehead held by XXXX Panzer Corps north of the Răut River untenable. It was abandoned overnight on April 12/13, while the 49th Corps took over a sector from Furceni on the Răut to Holercani on the Dniestr.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
The next objective for 53rd Army, commanded by Lt. Gen. I. M. Managarov, was the German bridgehead east of the Dniestr on the approaches to the cities of Dubăsari and Grigoriopol. 49th Corps had begun this advance on March 31, but had then been diverted to the fighting on the west bank. On April 13, with all three of the Corps' divisions west of the river, supported by 25th Guards Rifle Division, the advance resumed with heavy attacks on the German 282nd Infantry Division on the Golerkani sector.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
After two days of heavy fighting the German force withdrew southward to new defenses west of Dubăsari, but also received reinforcements from the 10th Panzergrenadier Division and Corps Detachment "F" which contained the Soviet advance. By this time the divisions of 53rd Army had fewer than 5,000 personnel each, and on April 18 the Front command ordered the Army over to the defense.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
The same day Col. Ivan Adamovich Rotkevich took over command of the division from Colonel Sobolev who had taken over the 1st Guards Airborne Division; that officer would go on to become a Hero of the Soviet Union in April 1945. Colonel Rotkevich in turn was replaced by Col. Ivan Alekseevich Pigin on April 28 before Ogorodov returned on May 9, now with the rank of major general. On May 6 the 53rd Army received orders to take part in a new offensive on Chișinău that was to be primarily conducted by forces of 3rd Ukrainian Front.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Advance to the Dniestr and First Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
49th Corps was to commit the 110th Guards to reinforce 26th Guards Rifle Corps as part of the Army's shock group, while the 375th and 1st Guards Airborne were to remain on the defense on the Army's front westward to south of Orhei. In the event, the defeat inflicted on the right flank forces of 2nd Ukrainian Front in the Târgu Frumos area caused this offensive to be postponed and eventually cancelled.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
By the beginning of June the 110th Guards was serving as a separate rifle division under direct Army control but a month later it returned to 49th Corps; as of August 1 the Corps contained only the 110th Guards and the 375th while the 1st Guards Airborne was serving separately. In the buildup to the Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive in early August the 53rd Army was regrouped out of the front line into Front reserves. 49th Corps was ordered to move from the Front's left flank to the center which required four daily marches.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Into Western Ukraine, Second Jassy–Kishinev Offensive
The plan called for the Army to be part of the exploitation force which would be released once the shock formations penetrated the German–Romanian front. Once this occurred the Army was to advance in the general direction of Vaslui and Focșani. The offensive opened on August 20, and on the next day at 1900 hours the 53rd began moving up to the positions that had been vacated by the advancing 52nd Army. The Army was then ordered to move to the area south of the road from Podu Iloaiei to Iași overnight on August 22/23. In the following days minimal forces of the 53rd Army were committed to the reduction of the trapped Axis grouping while its main effort focused on Bucharest and the oilfields at Ploiești.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign
Following its advance through Romania, on October 28 the left flank forces of 2nd Ukrainian Front, including 53rd Army, began an operation to defeat the German-Hungarian forces in and around Budapest. The main drive was carried out by 7th Guards and 46th Armies while the 53rd provided flank security. On October 29 the Army advanced up to 13km and reached the outskirts of Polgár. By the morning of November 4 the 27th Army relieved the 53rd along the front from Polgár to Tiszafüred while it regrouped to force the Tisza River three days later.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign
On November 11 the Army's right flank corps began fighting for the southern outskirts of Füzesabony; the town did not finally fall until the 15th after which General Managarov was ordered to develop the offensive in the direction of Verpelét. By November 20 the 53rd reached the southeastern slopes of the Mátra Mountains between Gyöngyös and Eger where the Axis forces were able to organize a powerful defense which brought the advance to a halt until November 26.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign
After it resumed Jr. Lt. Anatolii Petrovich Vishnevskii earned a posthumous Gold Star as a Hero of the Soviet Union on November 28. In fighting for the village of Andornaktálya on the outskirts of Eger the commander of Vishnevskii's battalion of the 307th Guards Rifle Regiment was killed and his deputy severely wounded. As the battalion Komsomol leader he took effective lead, renewed the attack and was the first man into the German trenches, killing three enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign
On the outskirts of the village the battalion was attacked by an armored halftrack which was destroyed with grenades by Vishnevskii and one other man. Later, within the village itself, the battalion was held up by a German machine gun in a cellar; Vishnevskii crawled up to the position and threw a grenade but was mortally wounded in the chest in the process. Despite his wounds his next grenade destroyed the gun and its crew. He was buried in Eger and was decreed a Hero of the Soviet Union on April 28, 1945.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign
A school in his home city of Kharkiv was named in his honor. On December 16 the 307th Guards Regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the 247th Guards Cannon Artillery Regiment received the Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, 2nd Degree, for their roles in the fighting for Eger and Szikszó.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
By this time the division had been assigned back to the 57th Rifle Corps along with the 1st Guards Airborne and the 228th Rifle Division. A new phase of the offensive began on December 5. 53rd Army occupied a line from Eger to Lőrinci facing units of the German 6th Army and the Hungarian 3rd Army. The assault began at 1015 hours following a brief but powerful artillery preparation and the Army was able to advance 2-4km on the first day despite facing defenses in mountainous terrain and the fighting continued through the night.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
In the days following the Army was only able to advance with its left-flank units and by December 9 was stalled along a line from Eger to Gyöngyös. The next phase involved completing the encirclement of Budapest and began on December 10 but again the 53rd Army advanced very little until Pliyev's Cavalry-Mechanized Group rolled up the German/Hungarian defense from the Šahy area in the general direction of Szoldiny.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
On December 14 Plyiev was ordered to attack in the direction of Kisterenye in conjunction with 53rd Army advancing toward Pásztó. This made only modest progress and on December 18 General Managarov was directed to relieve Plyiev's Group to enable it to regroup for a new assignment. The next day the Army was tasked with reaching a line from Veľký Krtíš to Nemce to Želiezovce. The left-flank forces of 2nd Ukrainian Front attacked at 1000 hours on December 20 but on the first day the 53rd Army made only local advances.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
By December 29 it had reached a front from Kutas to Szécsény to Balassagyarmat. The encirclement of Budapest had been completed on December 26, and as of January 1, 1945 the 110th Guards had returned to 49th Rifle Corps where it joined with the 375th Rifle Division. Under this command the division played little direct role in the siege of Budapest.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
Prior the defeat of the German Operation Spring Awakening in mid-March, mainly by 3rd Ukrainian Front, the 2nd Ukrainian Front renewed its advance into Czechoslovakia with 53rd Army roughly in the center of the Front. At this time it was noted that the personnel of the 110th Guards were roughly 67 percent Russian of the 1926-27 year groups, making a very young cadre, while most of the remainder were of Ukrainian nationality.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Hungarian Campaign, Advance into Slovakia
Units of the Army liberated Banská Štiavnica on March 7 and in recognition for their roles the 310th Guards Rifle Regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner while the 313th Guards Regiment received the Order of Kutuzov, 3rd Degree, both on April 5. On April 19 General Ogorodov was directed to attend the K. Е. Voroshilov Higher Military Academy and he was replaced the next day by Col. Aleksandr Ivanovich Malchevskii who had just completed studies at the same institution. Following the German surrender, on May 17 the 307th Guards Regiment was presented with the Order of Suvorov, 3rd Degree, for its role in the liberation of Komárno, Vráble and other Slovakian towns.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Manchurian Campaign and Postwar
53rd Army was selected for transfer to the far east for the campaign against the Japanese Kwantung Army in Manchuria, largely due to its experience in fighting through the Carpathian Mountains during 1944-45. On July 8 Hero of the Soviet Union Maj. Gen. Grigorii Arkhipovich Krivolapov took over command of the division from Colonel Malchevskii. After crossing the continent via the Trans-Siberian Railway it joined the Transbaikal Front; by the beginning of August the 110th Guards was in the 18th Guards Rifle Corps, which also contained the 109th Guards Rifle and 1st Guards Airborne Divisions.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Manchurian Campaign and Postwar
The Soviet operation began on August 9 but 53rd Army was in the Front's second echelon and remained in assembly areas in Mongolia until the second day when it began crossing the border in the tracks of 6th Guards Tank Army. The commander of Japanese 3rd Area Army had already ordered those of his forces not already cut off to withdraw to defend north and south of Mukden. The advance largely became a challenge to overcome the narrow roads and mountain passes of the Greater Khingan range.


110th Guards Rifle Division, Manchurian Campaign and Postwar
The Army accomplished this and on August 15 moved into the yawning gap between the 17th Army and 6th Guards Tanks with the objective to secure Kailu. The advance was unhindered and on September 1 the 53rd Army occupied Kailu, Chaoyang, Fuxin and Gushanbeitseifu while forward detachments reached the Chinchou area on the Gulf of Liaotung.
