Main Reconnaissance Directorate

The Main Reconnaissance Directorate, abbreviated MRD, is the foreign intelligence agency of the Armed Forces of the UASR, reporting directly to the Stavka Joint-Staff. Though its internal workings remain classified, it is known that it is a Joint Army/Navy command, and that most of its employees are uniformed members of the Armed Forces.

The MRD is divided into sections based on specialty such as SIGINT, and it also maintains theatre level directorates to service the high level intelligence needs of the various Theatres of Military Operations. Additionally, the tier-one special operations force, the Joint Special Warfare Cadre, reports directly to the MRD.
