Reccimend renaming this to 1st Shock Army (Soviet Union) to match the naming conventions for military units that specifies the country. Ryan.opel (talk) 17:47, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
As I understand the convention, the country name in parentheses is only used in cases where more than one formation with such a name might exist. Shock armies were unique to the Soviet Union. W. B. Wilson (talk) 19:06, 12 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
