I cannot find the meaning of this Russian Military Acronym from 1943 - ОАРАД. It had something to do with the 8th Guards Army, maybe the HQ.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Russian ОАРАД Acronym
Re: Russian ОАРАД Acronym
Most likely Отдельный армейский разведывательный артиллерийский дивизион.
Not sure what would be the best translation to English.
Google comes up with: Independent army reconnaissance/intelligence artillery battalion, but it does not sound right?
Perhaps Army's independent reconnaissance/intelligence artillery battalion is a better option?

I need to check and see if any of these fit or make sense.
Much thanks

Re: Russian ОАРАД Acronym
An update...
It appears the "Separate army reconnaissance artillery battalion" (ОАРАД), from the 8th Guards Army, was traveling on train #25351 along with the 141 Mortar Regiment.
So, it makes sense that an artillery recon unit would be traveling with a Mortar Regiment.
Once again, thanks for the help GregSingh
