The Registered Cossacks of the Russian Federation are a Cossack paramilitary formation that also performs non-military state services, on the basis of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation dated December 5, 2005 No. 154-FZ "On State Service of the Russian Cossacks".[1]

In peacetime, the Registered Cossacks tend to be involved in conservation, protection and restoration of forests, education of children and young people in patriotic values and preparation for military service, aiding during natural disasters, accidents, and other emergencies and fire-fighting. Municipal level Cossack patrols (including Special Forces) operate numerous guard formations.[2]

Registered Cossacks receive a stipend[2] and are granted certain privileges: a uniform, a rank, insignia and awards, wearing a Cossack whip, sword, Khanjali/Qama dagger and, in certain cases, firearms or a firearms permit in exchange for providing security in certain areas.[2] Cossacks often wear Uniforms of the Russian Armed Forces or uniforms similar to that of the Imperial Russian Army.[2]
