At war's start, the Red Army comprised 299 infantry regiments. Civil warfare intensified after lennin dissolved the Russian consistuent Assembly (5-6 January 1918) and the Soviet government signed the Treaty of brest-Litovsk (3 March 1918) removing Russia from the Great war. Free from international war, the Red Army confronted an internecine war with a loose alliance of anti-Communist forces, comprising the Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of Ukraine, the "Black Army" led by Nestor Makhno, the anti-White and anti-Red Green armies, and others. The 23 February 1923 "Red Army Day" has a twofold, historical significance; the first day of drafting recruits (in Petrograd and Moscow) and the first day of combat against the occupying Imperial German Army.
