Wagner Chief of Staff
Unit: Chief of Staff and Head of Logistics for Wagner PMC
ℹ️
Note: We have been unable to determine what rank Chekalov retired from the Russian Navy with, so we are forced to find an equivalence for him. Given the logistical size and scope of Wagner PMC, it is roughly equivalent to a Russian Combined Arms Army, or possibly a small Military District. Most often the Chief of Staff of a CAA is a Major General or Lieutenant General. We are going to conservatively list Chekalov as a Major General equivalent, though it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider him the equal of an average Lt. General or Col. General.
Former Unit: 311th Spetsnaz Detachment to Combat Underwater Sabotage, Pacific Fleet; Patrol Ship "Flighty" (Летучий), Pacific Fleet
