If you intend to include this information in the one section, I probably wouldn't use the template. However, if you intend to split it across different sections (amongst the prose), it could probably work. I used this once on the 3rd Division (Australia) article and I think it worked ok there in that

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because I believe it meets the A-class criteria and would like to improve it as far as I can get it. This article is about a Soviet combined arms army with a short history – it only saw combat in the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, being formed just

The army's composition remained constant for most of 1944; the 342nd Rifle Division was formed in the army in late November of that year. In December, the 355th Rifle Division was formed in the army. The army's four rifle brigades were used to form the 342nd and the 355th in late
307:"Postwar, the army briefly became part of..." and "Postwar, the army was disbanded..." The word "Postwar" is used here as a prepositional phrase. Postwar is an adjective. Even the word "post" is rarely used as a preposition. Would sound better as "After the war..." 248:"the army covered the border around Blagoveshchensk and sent reinforcements to the active army fighting on the Eastern Front..." To what unit does "the active army" refer to? That could be mentioned by name, or it would sound better to say "the active forces". 646:"The operational groups slowly advanced south, capturing Nencheng and Peian on 20 and 21 August. The Kwantung Army formally surrendered on 18 August...": suggest maybe switching these two sentences to maintain chronological flow 288:
Have added a photograph of Ivan Konev and of the Amur crossing in 1945. Khalkhin Gol is not relevant because the army was not actually involved as it was only elements of the army which fought under the control of a different
229:
I have removed the fortified region links. They will probably be covered in the list on the fortified region article, although I believe that there is enough on the 101st for a standalone article, given that it saw combat.
137: 70: 21: 120: 17: 796:
This threw me on the first reading because I immediately thought of an amphibious landing along the coast, not a river crossing. Rephrase, please.
116: 388:
not sure if I missed it, or not but could you include a rough strength/size for the formation? This could be included in the article and infobox?
174:
before World War II in the Soviet Far East, and was disbanded shortly after the surrender of Japan. This article was recently promoted to GA.

Suggest just using the month 580:
In the Composition section, if possible, I suggest providing a second snapshot focusing on a later date (maybe late 1944 or early 1945)
153: 395:
I haven't been able to find any information on its manpower strength but Glantz gives equipment figures for the Manchurian operation.
794:
with defending the Blagoveshchensk area from Japanese naval incursions in cooperation with the Amur Flotilla's Zee-Bureysk Brigade
587:
Would it be more aesthetically appealing if I used Infobox command structure to place the composition directly in the text?
158: 273:
There is only one supporting image in this article. Are no others relevant enough or appropriately licensed (like those at

Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

suggest adding a third level subheader below World War II, possibly "Garrison duties in the Far East" or something similar

Link self-propelled artillery, regiment, antitank, artillery, company, engineer sapper and battalion on first use.
112: 222:
This article bleeds red(pun not intended)link. The redlinks to the various fortified regions seem unnecessary.
949: 913: 274: 54: 197:
Are there any stated reasons as to why the army was created? Specific strategic or operational necessity?
607: 541: 414: 374: 373:: G'day, haven't had a full look yet, as it is late here. I have a couple of suggestions at the moment: 353: 336: 348:
All my comments have been addressed and I find the article to be compliant with the A-class criteria. -
458:
this seems a bit repetitious: "during the invasion. During the invasion..." Suggest rewording slightly
852:
Too many "forward"s in close proximity; change the latter to: Japanese advanced defenses or positions
62: 671:
in the Composition section, suggest that a few more of the units could be linked, e.g. 69th and 59th

470: 445: 400: 319: 294: 260: 255:
Changed to active forces. Active army is a general Soviet term for troops in the frontline area.
235: 209: 179: 93: 50: 926:
An independent mixed brigade. I used shortened names for Japanese units after first mention.
349: 332: 204:
Done. I missed a sentence in the original Russian source that I rewrote the article from.
58: 509:
should use title case caps, i.e. "Commanders and Command Staff of the Red Army 1940–1941"

List of commanders seems redundant since you've got them integrated into the text.
905: 877: 849: 821: 793: 739: 696:
move the link for Glantz from the Further reading section to the Sources section
278: 887:
Infantry. I used shortened names for the Japanese units after first mention.

Reformatted using template in body, added composition for 1 April 1945.
