Hi,
I would need some details about XIInd Red ARmy OOB around June 1918. This army faced the Caspian, essentially confronted to Terek Cossacks.
Thanks.

Hi, Athens. My apologies for late reply.
As far as I could see the results of Russian Internet search the 12th Army was formed for the first time by directive of the Southern front dated 5th October 1918. The Army was low in numbers and initially included single Astrakhan division (later renamed 1st then 33th rifle division).
In February 1919 the Army was strengthened by the units of the 11th Army which retreated from the North Caucasus. The 12th army was disbanded 13 March 1919 after its failed offensives in the fall of February 1919.
COs V.L. Stepanov (3 Oct. 1918 - 14 February 1919), N.L. Zhdanov (14 Feb.— 13 March 1919).
HS D.А. Severin (3 Oct 1918 — 13 March 1919).
