The Russian military trade system is officially called the Main Department of Trade of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (GUT of the Ministry of Defense of Russia), and is colloquially abbreviated as voyotorg.
The main tasks of military trade are:
- trade and welfare provision of troops (forces) at field exercises, maneuvers and camps, as well as in conflict and emergency zones;
- provision of goods and services to servicemen and their families in remote and small garrisons and in closed administrative-territorial formations.
