Brief, concrete description of his feat of arms or accomplishments

(To be compiled by the staff of the troop unit, formation, institution, or establishment):

Before July 1944, Major General of the Legal Service Aleksei Ivanovich Semchenko served as Military Prosecutor of the Pacific Fleet for five years. Using his 22 years of experience of working in the military legal system, he saw to it that the Fleet’s subordinate military prosecutor’s offices were properly supervised, ensuring the execution of assignments from the Prosecutor of the USSR, the People’s Commissar of the Navy, and the Military Council of the Pacific Fleet when it comes to dealing with those who breached military discipline or embezzled military equipment.

Skillfully organizing criminal investigations, he managed to reveal a considerable number of shortcomings in the way military service was organized in independent units, ships, and formations, thus providing significant assistance to Fleet Command in imposing order and structure within the Fleet.

He realized oversight of criminal investigations in the Smersh Counterintelligence Department in strict compliance with the demands set forth in the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of November 17, 1938.

During the first half of 1944 the Military Prosecutor’s Office of the Pacific Fleet put a great deal of effort into general supervision. As a result, during this time more than 200 proposals were submitted to Fleet Command on matters concerning excessive drinking, embezzlement of military equipment, violations of the housing code, etc.

Upon being appointed Military Prosecutor of the Black Sea Fleet in August 1944, he established proper professional relationships with the Fleet’s Military Council and Political Department, the Military Tribunal, and the Smersh Counterintelligence Department. He takes measures to restructure the duties of the Fleet’s Military Prosecutor’s Office, in compliance with instructions issued by me, and thus ensured Fleet Command’s assignments were carried out.

He put a great deal of effort into improving the specialist knowledge of the officers of the Fleet’s Military Prosecutor’s Office, setting an example in this area for other military prosecutor’s offices of fleets and flotillas.

He devotes considerable attention to improving his theoretical knowledge. In 1944 he graduated from law school as an external student and he is currently successfully enrolled in the first year of the Union-Wide Legal Correspondence Institute.

He is disciplined, tactful, and commands authority among his subordinates.

He deserves to be awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st Class.
