Formed in 1945, the Kamchatka Flotilla of diverse forces was reorganized during the 1960s. In March 1998 the Northeastern Group of Troops and Forces was created from the Kamchatka Flotilla. It was based on the Kamchatka Peninsula and had responsibility for a coastal zone of the Pacific Ocean. On April 30, 1975, the flotilla was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

December 14 is the celebratory day of the formation of the group. On this day in 1849, in accordance with the Decree of Emperor Nicholas I, the Okhotsk military flotilla was transferred to Petropavlovsk in Kamchatka.
