The 68th Army Corps is a military formation of the Russian Armed Forces, part of the Eastern Military District. Its primary area of responsibility is the Sakhalin Oblast and the Kuril Islands, reflecting the strategic importance of these territories for Russia's Pacific presence and security.

The Corps is tasked with defending the region against potential threats, conducting training exercises, and participating in disaster relief operations. It maintains a presence across various islands and locations within its area of responsibility, including Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, deploying a combination of motorized rifle units, artillery, air defense assets, and support elements.

Details regarding the 68th Army Corps' specific composition and equipment strength are generally not publicly available due to military security concerns. However, publicly available information suggests it consists of a mix of professional soldiers (contract servicemen) and conscripts.
