Battle regulations sun. Basic provisions of the combat manual
Skillful use of maneuver will allow you to seize and maintain the initiative, thwart the enemy’s plans and operate successfully in a changed environment.
008. Organizing and maintaining continuous interaction between the squads (tanks) in the platoon, the assets assigned to it and its neighbors lies in coordinating their efforts among themselves in terms of tasks, milestones and time. To do this, the commander of a platoon (squad, tank) must firmly know the combat mission of his unit and how to carry it out, the tasks of neighboring units, landmarks, warning signals, control and interaction established by the senior commander. When performing the assigned task, he is obliged to maintain contact with the interacting units (fire weapons), complete them within the established time limits, timely exchange data on the situation with the interacting units, and actively support them with all available means. In defense, it is necessary to provide assistance to the unit defending the most important positions; in the offensive, it is necessary to assist the most advanced ones.
009. Ensuring tactical actions platoon (squad, tank) consists of organizing and implementing measures aimed at maintaining combat readiness and maintaining its combat effectiveness, as well as creating favorable conditions for the successful and timely completion of the assigned task. It is organized based on the decision of the commander in all types of actions and includes reconnaissance, security, tactical camouflage, engineering support, radiation, chemical and biological protection.
010. Combined arms combat can be conducted using only conventional weapons or using nuclear weapons and other means of destruction.
Regular weapons includes all fire and strike weapons using artillery, anti-aircraft, aviation, small arms ammunition and missiles in conventional ammunition, volumetric explosion ammunition, incendiary ammunition and mixtures. In a battle using only conventional weapons, the fire of infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft weapons and small arms, in combination with air strikes, is the main means of defeating the enemy. The most effective type of conventional weapons is high-precision weapons, which include reconnaissance-strike (reconnaissance and fire) complexes, as well as other weapons complexes (systems) that use guided (adjustable) and homing missiles and ammunition capable of hitting targets, usually with first shot (launch).
Incendiary ammunition and mixtures are used to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located openly or located in fortifications, as well as his weapons, equipment and other objects.
Nuclear weapons are the most powerful means of defeating the enemy. It allows you to quickly destroy groups of enemy troops, create areas of mass destruction and zones of radioactive contamination.
Units must skillfully conduct combat using only conventional weapons and always be in constant readiness to operate in the face of the use of nuclear weapons.
2. Fundamentals of the use of combined arms units, units of military branches and support.
011. Motorized rifle, tank and grenade launcher platoons are tactical units of the Ground Forces. They are intended to perform tactical tasks independently or in cooperation with units of the military branches.
A motorized rifle (tank) platoon is designed to perform tasks: in defense - firmly holding occupied strongholds and positions, repelling the enemy’s attack and defeating him; destruction of the intervening enemy; in the offensive - the destruction of the defending enemy, the capture of important areas of terrain, lines and objects, the crossing of water obstacles and the pursuit of the retreating enemy.
When performing assigned tasks, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon (squad, tank) usually operates as part of a company (platoon). In reconnaissance, in an assault group, in marching and outpost security, he can act independently. A motorized rifle platoon, in addition, can be assigned to the advance group from a motorized rifle battalion (company) operating in a tactical airborne assault.
In order to achieve greater independence in carrying out assigned tasks, motorized rifle and tank units are assigned or allocated to support units of other branches of the military.
A motorized rifle platoon may be assigned grenade launcher, anti-tank, flamethrower units and a tank, in some cases - military air defense and engineer units, and a tank platoon may also be assigned a motorized rifle unit. The actions of a motorized rifle platoon can be supported by fire from mortar (artillery) units.
Dowry units are completely subordinate to the platoon commander and carry out the tasks assigned to him.
Supporting units remain subordinate to the senior commander (chief) and carry out the tasks assigned by him, as well as the tasks assigned by the commander of the supported unit, within the allocated resource (attack) of forces.
012. Grenade launcher platoon (squad, crew) designed to destroy manpower and fire weapons located openly and behind cover. Grenade launchers are fired directly from an open firing position, from where the target or area of terrain where the enemy is expected to appear is visible. Individual fire missions can be carried out by firing from a closed or semi-closed firing position, usually along an overhead trajectory.
013. Mortar (anti-tank) platoon is artillery unit.
A mortar platoon is designed to destroy fire weapons, manpower, radio-electronic equipment, and destroy enemy fortifications in front of the front of friendly troops while performing other tasks.
Anti-tank platoon (squad, crew) designed to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as to destroy enemy personnel and firepower located in shelters and structures.
014. Flamethrower unit designed to destroy enemy manpower and fire weapons located openly or located in long-term fire and other fortifications, buildings and military equipment, as well as automobile and lightly armored vehicles.
015. Military air defense unit designed to destroy enemy air at extremely low and low altitudes.
016. Engineer-sapper unit intended for conducting engineering reconnaissance of the enemy and the terrain, constructing and maintaining mine-explosive barriers, making passages in enemy barriers and transporting mine trawls.
017. During the conduct of hostilities, units of other troops, military formations and bodies of the Russian Federation take part in carrying out tasks as part of joint groups to destroy the enemy and conduct territorial defense, and also perform other tasks determined by the current federal legislation. In these cases, units of other troops, military formations and bodies of the Russian Federation can be attached to combined arms units or interact with them when performing combat missions independently.
018. A platoon (squad, tank) solves its problems with fire from weapons of infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, anti-tank missile systems, machine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, sniper rifles and the use of hand grenades, and in hand-to-hand combat - with a bayonet and butt.
Fire from infantry fighting vehicles and tanks destroys tanks, other armored vehicles, fire weapons and manpower of the enemy, destroys its fortifications, and also hits low-flying airplanes, helicopters and other air targets. Fire from armored personnel carriers destroys manpower, fire weapons and other targets.
Machine guns and machine guns are used to destroy enemy personnel and firepower. In addition, they can be used to destroy low-flying air targets.
A sniper rifle is used to destroy important single targets (officers, observers, snipers, fire crews) of enemy fire weapons.
Anti-tank missile systems, anti-tank grenade launchers and anti-tank grenades are used to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, and other grenade launchers and hand grenades are used to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located outside shelters, in open trenches, trenches and behind shelters (in ravines , ravines and on reverse slopes of heights).
019. When performing tactical missions, motorized rifle, grenade launcher and anti-tank platoons, depending on the situation, operate in marching, pre-battle and combat formations, and a tank platoon - in marching and combat formations.
Marching order platoon and squad - column. It is used on the march, during pursuit, during maneuvers and must ensure high speed of movement and rapid deployment in pre-battle and combat formations.
Pre-battle order-building a platoon when operating on foot to move in columns of squads divided along the front (in a line of squads), in order to reduce the time for deployment into battle formation, and be less vulnerable to attacks by all types of weapons.
The Combat Manual of the Ground Forces, Part II (battalion, company), sets out the main provisions for the preparation and conduct of modern combined arms combat by motorized rifle and tank battalions and companies in cooperation with units of the combat arms and special forces of the Ground Forces and other branches of the Armed Forces of the USSR.
This manual focuses on the preparation and conduct of combat using only conventional weapons; at the same time, it is emphasized that units must be able to operate successfully in conditions of the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction.
With the publication of this charter, the Combat Regulations of the Ground Forces, Part II (battalion, company), put into effect by Order No. 50 of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces in 1982, loses force.
FUNDAMENTALS OF SOVIET MILITARY DOCTRINE
1. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics firmly and unswervingly pursues Lenin's peace-loving foreign policy. Its main goal is to create favorable external conditions for the further development of Soviet society, its revolutionary renewal based on perestroika, providing the Soviet people with the opportunity to work in peace and freedom, eliminating the arms race and the threat of a new world war, strengthening international security.
In accordance with the main goals of this policy, the Soviet military doctrine was developed - a system of officially accepted fundamental views on the prevention of war, military development, preparing the country and the Armed Forces of the USSR to repel aggression and methods of conducting armed struggle in defense of socialism. Its provisions reflect the basic principles of new political thinking, are based on the Marxist-Leninist teaching on war and the army, the conclusions of the 27th Congress of the CPSU on the fundamental problems of war and peace in the nuclear age and the instructions of V. I. Lenin that “every revolution is only then it's worth something if she can
defend yourself...” (Lenin V.I. Complete collection of works. T, 37. P. 122).
2. Soviet military doctrine is consistent with the military doctrine of the states participating in the Warsaw Pact, and at the same time takes into account the general tasks of the defense of the USSR both in Europe and in other regions. Objectively arising from the nature of the Soviet social and state system, the policy of the USSR, it has clearly defensive orientation, is subordinated to the main task of preventing war, both nuclear and conventional, and protecting the country from possible external aggression.
In the event of aggression, the Soviet people and their Armed Forces will defend the gains of socialism and their Motherland with all determination. Equally, together with fraternal armies, they will also protect the peoples of friendly socialist states from aggression on the basis of concluded treaties.
,
Soviet military doctrine includes two sides - political and military-technical. 3. POLITICAL side of the Soviet military doctrine,
- reflecting the policy of the CPSU and the Soviet state in the field of defense, determines the attitude towards war, the nature of the military threat to the USSR and its allies, and the resulting political tasks of the Soviet state. The basis of this aspect of Soviet military doctrine is the following: The Soviet Union resolutely rejects war as a means of resolving international problems,
interstate political, economic and ideological contradictions, a historical dispute between two opposing world social systems, proceeds from the fact that in modern conditions war cannot be a rational means of achieving political goals. World war, both nuclear and conventional, is unacceptable and must be excluded.
Guided by the principles of peaceful coexistence, the Soviet Union has no territorial claims to any state, does not treat any people as its enemy, advocates resolving all controversial international issues only peacefully, bases its defense policy on the fact that in nuclear missiles century, the security of states can only be mutual, and internationally, universal. To achieve it, political means and corresponding political actions are becoming increasingly important. In accordance with the international obligations undertaken and other states party to the Warsaw Pact will never, under any circumstances, begin military action against any state or union of states, either in Europe or in any other region, unless they themselves become the object of armed aggression. The Soviet Union will never be the first to use nuclear weapons. But in the case of military
After an attack, he and his allies use all the necessary forces and means to repel aggression and give a crushing rebuff to the aggressor.
- Military threat to the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in modern conditions, as before, it comes from imperialism, which, having taken the path of total confrontation, does not renounce war as a means of achieving its aggressive, aggressive goals, the elimination of socialism as a socio-political system, the elimination of progressive regimes and the establishment of political domination in the world , persistently seeks ways to achieve these goals both through large-scale political, economic and ideological subversive actions, and by military means, hoping to start a war in a favorable environment and achieve victory in it. The military danger to the Soviet Union also comes from states blockading with imperialism and pursuing anti-Soviet, anti-socialist policies.
- Advocating mutual renunciation of the use of military force, creating a comprehensive system of international security, seeking to reduce the level of military confrontation between states, the gradual elimination of nuclear weapons and other types of weapons of mass destruction, a decisive reduction in conventional weapons and armed forces, preventing the transfer of the arms race to outer space, the Soviet Union together
therefore takes the necessary measures to strengthen its defense capability, improve its armed forces, strengthen and develop military cooperation with the armed forces of fraternal socialist countries.
- The main military-political tasks The Soviet state are:
in peacetime - maintaining the country's defense capability at the level of necessary defense sufficiency, keeping imperialist states from aggressive actions, preventing them from unleashing a world war, ensuring the inviolability of the borders of the USSR, suppressing possible provocations and encroachments on the sovereignty of the country and other fraternal socialist states, ensuring the constant comprehensive readiness of the Armed Forces Forces to repel armed aggression, no matter where it comes from;
in case of war- repelling aggression together with other fraternal socialist states, defending socialist gains and the territorial integrity of the USSR and the countries of the socialist commonwealth, inflicting a decisive defeat on the aggressor and depriving his opportunity to continue the war.
- Decisive for the successful implementation of USSR defense missions have a Soviet social and state system, a socialist economy, an indestructible alliance of the working class, peasantry and people's intelligentsia, political and ideological
the unity of Soviet society, the friendship of the peoples of the USSR, Soviet patriotism and socialist internationalism, the unity of the army and the people, the high moral and combat qualities of the personnel of the Soviet Armed Forces. They form the socio-political and economic basis of its defense power. The ideological and theoretical basis of the defense power of the USSR is Marxism-Leninism and its integral part, the Marxist-Leninist teaching on war and the army.
The basis for strengthening the defense of the socialist Motherland is the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in military construction and the Armed Forces of the USSR.
4. MILITARY-TECHNICAL side Soviet military doctrine, taking into account the likely opponents and allies of the USSR, determines: the possible nature of the armed struggle when repelling aggression; the composition and structure of the Armed Forces necessary to repel aggression and defend the country; methods of their use; the focus of preparing the country and the Armed Forces to carry out defense tasks. Its guidelines flow from the political side of the doctrine, are subordinated to it and are implemented in the practice of Soviet military development, in the corresponding provisions of the Soviet defensive military strategy, operational art and tactics. The basis of this aspect of Soviet military doctrine is the following provisions.
A world war, if the aggressor imposes it on the Soviet Union and the fraternal socialist states, will be the greatest test of all the military, economic and moral forces of peoples, the most acute confrontation between two opposing world social systems. Such a war will be waged by powerful coalitions. At the same time, the bloc of imperialist powers and states that support or act jointly with it will be opposed by an alliance of countries of the socialist commonwealth, the basis of which is the Warsaw Pact Organization.
With the beginning and during the war, the aggressor can use only conventional weapons or all means of struggle, including nuclear weapons. Reflecting aggression, the Soviet Armed Forces will be forced to respond with the same means. Therefore, the likelihood of various types of wars remains, such as world customary so and World nuclear and the need to prepare the country and the Armed Forces to repel aggression equally with and without the use of nuclear weapons.
Armed struggle in a war, if unleashed by the aggressor, will acquire new political and strategic features and will be distinguished by extreme tension and destructive character. A nuclear war could have catastrophic consequences for both sides and all humanity. In such a war, the Armed Forces of the USSR must be able to inflict aggression under any conditions.
unacceptable damage to the spring. In a world conventional war, the Armed Forces of the USSR must repel aggression, give a decisive rebuff to the enemy, defeat him and force him to cease hostilities.
- Along with the world war, the danger increases local wars and military conflicts. By counteracting their unleashing, the Soviet Union can provide moral, political, economic, and, if necessary, appropriate military assistance to the peoples and countries waging a national liberation struggle. At the same time, the direct use of the Soviet Armed Forces in local wars and military conflicts should be excluded if they are not directly related to the defense of the country and allies under the Warsaw Pact.
The Soviet Union in its defense policy and military development is guided by the principles of equal security, military balance and reasonable sufficiency for defense. The defense potential of the USSR, all member states of the Warsaw Pact, the composition of their armed forces, structure, equipment, groupings and focus of training are commensurate with the nature of the military threat, the composition and condition of the armed forces of the potential enemy, and the intensity of its military preparations. The level of reasonable defense sufficiency is determined in such a way as to ensure strategic stability with the lowest possible level of military confrontation between the parties, at
reliable repulsion of aggression and successful implementation of the strategic tasks assigned to the Armed Forces. The main attention is paid to maintaining parity in strategic nuclear weapons, ensuring the equality of military forces in the main theaters of military operations and their sufficiency for defense in other directions.
The effectiveness of Soviet defense construction is based primarily on qualitative parameters both in relation to technology, military science, and in relation to the composition of the Armed Forces. At the same time, the Armed Forces are being given an increasingly defensive orientation.
- In order to prevent aggression enemy and its reliable reflection, all measures must be taken so as not to allow oneself to be taken by surprise. The Armed Forces of the USSR must be in high combat and mobilization readiness, ensuring their timely deployment, organized entry into the war, repelling a possible surprise attack by the enemy, and immediately delivering powerful retaliatory and retaliatory strikes against him.
In the event of enemy aggression, the Armed Forces of the USSR will repel it with retaliatory actions. Defense at the beginning of the war will be the main type of action of the Soviet Armed Forces. Accordingly, the main operations in the initial period of the war will be defensive operations, carried out both intentionally and forcedly. Together with
Therefore, the Armed Forces of the USSR must be prepared to deliver powerful blows to the aggressor and launch a counter-offensive.
During the further conduct of the war In case of continuation of aggression, the Soviet Armed Forces must act with the utmost determination and activity. By active defense, counter-offensive and offensive, the aggressor must be defeated or forced to end the war.
5. The Soviet Union and other fraternal socialist states, in comparison with the countries of a potential enemy, have important military-political advantages due to the socialist method of production, the progressive nature of the social and state socialist system, Marxist-Leninist ideology, and the just goals of the war that they will wage in the event of its unleashing by the imperialists. Using these advantages, the Armed Forces of the USSR, together with the allied armies, are able to successfully complete the tasks assigned to them. To implement this, constant high vigilance is required, advance comprehensive preparation for the defense of the country and the Armed Forces, their skillful use in repelling aggression, as well as the effective use of all forces and resources, the moral, political, economic and military potential of the state during the war.

Types of maneuver by units are: coverage, bypass and change of areas
(strong points, positions), and by fire means - changing firing positions.
Envelopment is a maneuver carried out by units during tactical
actions to attack the enemy's flank.
Encircling – a deeper maneuver performed by units to attack
enemy from the rear.
Coverage is usually carried out in close tactical and fire
interaction, and bypass - in tactical interaction with units,
operating from the front, and sometimes with tactical air operations
Change of location area (strong point, position) – organized
movement of units to a reserve or other area (strong point,
position) to improve the tactical position, introducing the enemy into
misconception regarding their true position, as well as withdrawal from under
enemy blows. It is carried out with the permission of the senior commander.
Changing firing positions is carried out by infantry fighting vehicles

units and formations for the purpose of destroying (defeating) the enemy, repelling
his strikes and performing other tasks in a limited area, during
for a short time. The battle can be combined arms, anti-aircraft,
air and sea.
The main means of destroying the enemy in a platoon (squad)
is fire.
Fire is the defeat of the enemy by shooting (launching) from various types
weapons (weapons).
It differs: according to the tactical tasks being solved - for destruction,
suppression, exhaustion, destruction, smoke (dazzle), lighting and
other; by type of weapon - from infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers),
tanks, anti-tank missile systems, small arms,
grenade launchers, artillery, mortars, anti-aircraft weapons and others; by methods
conducting - direct, semi-direct fire, from closed firing positions and others;
according to the intensity of shooting - single shots, short or long
bursts, continuous, dagger, fluent, methodical, salvo and
another; in the direction of fire - frontal, flank and cross; By
shooting methods - from a standstill, from a stop (from a short stop), on the move, from
sides, with dispersion along the front, with dispersion in depth, over area and
another; by type of fire - on a separate target, concentrated, barrage,
multi-layered, multi-tiered and others.
The enemy can be defeated by the fire of individual fire weapons
or concentrated fire from a squad and platoon.
003. Combined arms combat is carried out by the combined efforts of all participants

The commander's decision to destroy the enemy must be firm and without
hesitation brought to an end. The one who deserves the harshest condemnation is
who, fearing responsibility, showed inaction and did not use all his strength,
means and capabilities to complete the task.
Suddenness of actions and the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy)
allows you to take the enemy by surprise, cause panic and paralyze him

location; strictly comply with the requirements for managing departments,
communication security and privacy mode.
Skillful use of maneuver will allow you to seize and maintain the initiative,
thwart the enemy's plans and act successfully in a changed environment.
008. Organizing and maintaining continuous interaction between
squads (tanks) in the platoon, assets assigned to it and neighbors
lies in coordinating their efforts among themselves on tasks, boundaries and
time. To do this, the platoon (squad, tank) commander must firmly know
the combat mission of your unit and how to carry it out, the tasks of neighboring
units, landmarks, warning signals, control and
interactions established by the senior commander. By doing
assigned task, he is obliged to maintain contact with interacting
units (fire weapons), carry them out within the established time limits,
timely exchange data on the situation with interacting
units, actively support them with all available means. IN
defense needs to provide assistance to the unit defending the most
important positions, in the offensive - the most advanced ones.

types of actions and includes reconnaissance, security, tactical camouflage,
engineering support, radiation, chemical and biological protection.
010. Combined arms combat can be conducted using only conventional
weapons or using nuclear weapons and other means of destruction.
Conventional weapons include all fire and impact weapons that use
artillery, anti-aircraft, aviation, small arms ammunition and missiles in
conventional equipment, volumetric explosion ammunition, incendiary ammunition and
mixtures. In a battle using only conventional weapons, fire from infantry fighting vehicles
(armored personnel carriers), tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft weapons and small arms
weapons in combination with air strikes is the main means of destruction
enemy. The most effective type of conventional weapon is
high-precision weapons, which include reconnaissance and strike weapons
(reconnaissance and fire) complexes, as well as other complexes (systems)
weapons using guided (adjustable) and homing
missiles and ammunition capable of hitting targets, usually from the first
shot (launch).
Incendiary ammunition and mixtures are used to destroy personnel
and enemy fire weapons located openly or located in
fortifications, as well as its weapons, equipment and other
objects.
Nuclear weapons are the most powerful means of destruction
enemy. It allows you to destroy groups of troops in a short time
enemy, create areas of mass destruction and radioactive zones
infection.
Units must skillfully conduct combat using only conventional
weapons and always be in constant readiness to act in conditions
use of nuclear weapons.
2. Basics of the use of combined arms units, military units
troops and supplies.
011. Motorized rifle, tank and grenade launcher platoons are
tactical units of the Ground Forces. They are intended for
performing tactical tasks independently or in collaboration with
divisions of military branches.
A motorized rifle (tank) platoon is designed to perform the following tasks:
defense - strong retention of occupied strong points and positions, reflection
enemy advances and defeat; destruction
a wedged enemy; in the offensive - destruction of the defender
enemy, capture of important areas of terrain, lines and objects,
crossing water barriers and pursuing the retreating enemy.
Motorized rifle (tank) platoon (squad, tank) during execution
assigned tasks, usually acts as part of a company (platoon). IN
reconnaissance, in an assault group, marching and guard duty, he can
act independently. A motorized rifle platoon, in addition, can
be assigned to the advance group from a motorized rifle battalion (company),
operating in tactical airborne assault.
For greater independence in performing assigned tasks
motorized rifle and tank units are assigned or allocated for
support of units of other branches of the military.
A motorized rifle platoon may be assigned a grenade launcher,
anti-tank, flamethrower units and tank, in some cases -
military air defense and engineering, and tank
The platoon also has a motorized rifle unit. Actions
motorized rifle platoon can be supported by mortar fire
(artillery) units.
Attached units are completely subordinate to the platoon commander and
carry out the tasks assigned to them.
Supporting units remain under the command of the senior commander
(boss) and perform the tasks assigned to him, as well as the tasks
assigned by the commander of the supported unit, within
allocated resource (attachment) of forces.
012. Grenade launcher platoon (squad, crew) is intended for
destruction of manpower and fire weapons located openly and behind
shelters. Fire from grenade launchers is carried out at direct fire with an open
firing position from where the target or area of the terrain is visible
the enemy is expected to appear. Individual fire missions can be carried out
firing from a closed or semi-closed firing position, as a rule,
mounted trajectory.
013. Mortar (anti-tank) platoon is artillery
division.
A mortar platoon is designed to engage fire weapons, live
force, radio-electronic means, destruction of fortifications
the enemy in front of the front of the actions of friendly troops while performing other tasks.
An anti-tank platoon (squad, crew) is designed to destroy
tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as for the destruction of manpower and
enemy fire weapons located in shelters and structures.
014. The flamethrower unit is designed to destroy manpower
and enemy fire weapons located openly or located in
long-term fire and other fortifications, buildings and
military equipment, as well as automobile and lightly armored vehicles.
015. The military air defense unit is intended
to destroy enemy air at extremely low and low altitudes.
016. The engineering and sapper unit is intended to conduct
engineering reconnaissance of the enemy and the terrain, design and maintenance of mines
explosive barriers, making passages in enemy barriers and
transportation of mine trawls.
017. When conducting combat operations, units of other troops, military
formations and bodies of the Russian Federation take part in performing tasks as part of
united groups to destroy the enemy and conduct
territorial defense, and also perform other tasks determined
current federal legislation. In these cases, units
other troops, military formations and bodies of the Russian Federation may be assigned
combined arms units or interact with them when performing
combat missions independently.
018. A platoon (squad, tank) solves its problems with fire from weapons
infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, anti-tank
missile systems, machine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, sniper
rifles and the use of hand grenades, and in hand-to-hand combat - with a bayonet strike and
butt.
Fire from infantry fighting vehicles and tanks destroys tanks and other
armored vehicles, fire weapons and manpower of the enemy are destroyed
its fortifications, and also affects low-flying aircraft,
helicopters and other aerial targets. Fire from armored personnel carriers,
manpower, fire weapons and other targets are destroyed.
Machine guns and machine guns are used to destroy manpower and fire
enemy assets. In addition, they can be used to defeat
low-flying air targets.
A sniper rifle is used to destroy important single
targets (officers, observers, snipers, fire crews) fire
enemy assets.
Anti-tank missile systems, anti-tank grenade launchers and
anti-tank grenades are used to destroy tanks and other
armored vehicles, and other grenade launchers and hand grenades - to destroy
enemy manpower and fire weapons located outside shelters, in
open trenches, trenches and behind shelters (in hollows, ravines and on reverse
slopes of heights).
019. When performing tactical tasks, motorized rifle, grenade launcher and
anti-tank platoons, depending on the situation, operate in marching mode,
pre-battle and combat formations, and a tank platoon - in marching and combat formations
orders.
The marching order of a platoon and squad is a column. It is applied on
march, during pursuit, during maneuver and must ensure
high speed of movement, rapid deployment in pre-combat and combat
Pre-battle formation - formation of a platoon when operating on foot
for movement in columns of squads divided along the front (in a line
departments), in order to reduce the time for deployment into battle formation,
less vulnerability to attacks from all types of weapons.
Order of battle is the formation of units to carry out combat missions.
It must meet the task and ensure: full use
combat capabilities of units; reliable defeat of the enemy
the greatest possible depth of its battle formation; quick use
the results of enemy fire and favorable terrain conditions;
the ability to maneuver during the task; least vulnerability
units from attacks of all types of weapons; maintaining continuous
interaction and ease of management of departments.
The combat formation of a motorized rifle platoon may include maneuver,
fire, clearing (detonation) and capture group, and motorized rifle
squads - combat groups.
Depending on the task being performed, the nature of the terrain and other
conditions of the situation, a motorized rifle platoon (squad) can act on
infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, cars), on foot
(in winter - on skis) and by landing on tanks.
3. Control of units and fire.
020. Control of units and fire consists of targeted
activities of the platoon (squad, tank) commander to maintain constant
combat readiness of the platoon (squad, tank), timely preparation of them for
tactical actions, firm and continuous guidance during execution

Chapter first
BASICS OF COMBAT COMBAT AND MANAGEMENT
1. Combined arms combat, methods of conducting it
And means of armed struggle
1. Combat is the main form of tactical action, which represents strikes, fire and maneuver of formations, units and subunits organized and coordinated in terms of purpose, place and time in order to destroy (defeat) the enemy, repel his attacks and perform other tactical tasks in a limited area in within a short time.
A strike is a simultaneous and short-term defeat of enemy troop groups and targets by powerfully influencing them with available means of destruction or by the advance of troops (strike by troops). Impacts can be: depending on the weapon used- nuclear and fire; by delivery means- missile and aviation; by the number of participating assets and targets- massive, concentrated, group and single.
Fire - shooting from various types of weapons and launching missiles in conventional equipment to hit targets or to perform other tasks; the main method of destroying the enemy in combined arms combat. It differs by: tactical tasks to be solved- for destruction, suppression, exhaustion, destruction, smoke (blinding) and others; types of weapons - small arms, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, artillery, anti-tank missile systems, anti-aircraft weapons and others; methods of conducting- direct, semi-direct fire, from closed firing positions, etc.; tension - single shots, short or long bursts, continuous, dagger, rapid, methodical, salvo and others; direction of fire- frontal, flank, cross; shooting methods- from a place, from a stop (from a short stop), on the move, from the side, with dispersion along the front, with dispersion in depth, over an area, etc.; types of fire - for a separate target, concentrated, barrage, multi-layered and multi-tiered.
Maneuver is the organized movement of troops during a combat mission in order to occupy an advantageous position in relation to the enemy and create the necessary grouping of forces and assets, as well as transferring or redirecting (massing, distributing) strikes and fire for the most effective destruction of the enemy’s most important groups and objects. The types of maneuver by units in battle (Fig. 1) are: envelopment, detour, retreat and change of position.
Envelopment is a maneuver carried out in order to reach the enemy's flank(s). A detour is a deeper maneuver performed to get behind enemy lines. Envelopment and outflanking are carried out in tactical and fire cooperation with units advancing from the front.
Withdrawal and change of positions- a maneuver carried out by units (fire weapons) in order to escape from the attacks of a superior enemy, prevent encirclement, and occupy a more advantageous position for subsequent actions.
Fire maneuver (Fig. 2) consists of simultaneously or sequentially concentrating it on the enemy’s most important targets or distributing it to hit several targets, as well as retargeting it at new targets.
2. The battle can be combined arms, anti-aircraft, air and sea.
Combined arms combat is carried out by the combined efforts of formations, units and subunits of the Ground Forces, Air Force, Airborne Forces, and in the coastal direction, by the forces of the Navy. During a combined arms battle, a formation (unit,
units) can solve combat missions together with troops, military formations and bodies of other troops of the Russian Federation1.

2. Basics of using units
V combined arms combat
4. Motorized rifle (tank) platoon designed to perform tasks: in defense - to repel enemy attacks and defeat his advancing troops, to hold occupied strongholds, positions and objects; in the offensive - to defeat its defending units, capture the indicated Frontiers and objects, force crossing water obstacles, and pursue the retreating enemy. In addition, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon can act in reconnaissance and combat (marching, guard) security. A motorized rifle platoon can also operate as part of a tactical air (sea) landing force.
When performing missions, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon (squad, tank) usually operates as part of a company (platoon). In reconnaissance, combat, marching and guard duty, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon can act independently. When capturing a populated area (breaking through a fortified area), an assault group can be created on the basis of a motorized rifle platoon.
Grenade Platoon designed to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located openly and behind cover. Grenade launchers are fired directly from an open firing position, from where the target or area of terrain where the enemy is expected to appear is visible. Certain fire missions can be carried out by firing from a closed firing position, usually along an overhead trajectory.
Anti-tank platoon designed to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as to destroy enemy personnel and firepower located in shelters and structures.
When carrying out missions, grenade launcher and anti-tank platoons usually operate as part of a battalion.
Motorized rifle (tank) and grenade launcher (anti-tank) platoons can perform missions in cooperation with units of other troops.
5. A motorized rifle (tank) platoon may be assigned or allocated to support a unit of military branches and special forces.
The assigned units are completely subordinate to the platoon commander and carry out the tasks assigned to him.
Supporting units remain subordinate to the senior commander (chief)2 and carry out the tasks assigned by him, as well as the tasks assigned by the commander of the supported unit, within the allocated resource (force level).
6. A motorized rifle platoon may be assigned grenade launcher, anti-tank, flamethrower, and sometimes engineering and sapper units, reconnaissance chemists and a tank, and a tank platoon - a motorized rifle unit.
Flamethrower units are designed to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located openly or located in long-term fire and other fortifications, buildings and military equipment, as well as automobile and lightly armored vehicles.
Engineer-sapper units are designed to conduct engineering reconnaissance of the enemy and the terrain, construct and maintain mine-explosive barriers, make passages in enemy barriers and transport mine trawls.
7. When performing combat missions, motorized rifle and tank units can be supported by fire and strikes from the forces and means of destruction of the senior commander: grenade launcher and anti-tank platoons; artillery units; flamethrower units of radiation, chemical and biological defense troops; aviation.
8. When performing assigned tasks, a motorized rifle platoon (squad), depending on the situation, operates in marching, pre-battle and combat formations, a tank platoon - in marching and combat formations, and a machine gun platoon (platoon of tank firing points) - only in combat formation.
Marching order- building a unit to move in a column. It is used on the march, during pursuit, during maneuvers and must provide high speed; rapid deployment to pre-battle and combat formations; the least vulnerability from attacks by all types of enemy weapons; effective management of units (personnel).
Pre-battle order- building a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon for movement in columns of squads divided along the front (in a line of squads). It must ensure: rapid deployment into battle formation; high rates of advancement with overcoming obstacles, infection zones, areas of destruction, fires and floods; the least vulnerability from attacks by all types of enemy weapons; effective management of units (personnel).
Order of battle - formation of a unit for combat. It must correspond to the task received, the plan for the upcoming battle and ensure: successful conduct of the battle both with the use of conventional weapons and with the use of nuclear weapons and other means of destruction; full use of the combat capabilities of units, weapons and military equipment; reliable defeat of the opposing enemy unit to the entire depth of its battle formation; rapid use of the results of fire, electronic and nuclear destruction of the enemy and favorable terrain conditions; performing a maneuver; the ability to repel enemy strikes from the air; the least vulnerability from attacks by all types of enemy weapons; maintaining continuous interaction and effective management of units (personnel).
9. The order of battle of a motorized rifle platoon may include motorized rifle squads, a control and fire support group. Depending on the task being performed, the nature of the terrain and other conditions of the situation, the battle formation of a motorized rifle platoon may include groups of: combat vehicles, barrage (undermining) and capture.
Motorized rifle squads are designed to solve basic tasks: in defense - to destroy the enemy by fire when he goes on the attack, repelling it, firmly holding occupied positions and objects; in the offensive - to destroy enemy personnel and military equipment and capture the specified objects.
The command and fire support group is created to control motorized rifle squads during the battle, support them with fire, and also to carry out tasks of comprehensive provision. It consists of a sniper, a machine gun crew and everyone assigned to the platoon
units (fire weapons).
The order of battle of a motorized rifle squad can be built on the basis of battle groups:
maneuverable and fire. The composition of combat groups is determined by the squad commander. In addition, the squad's combat formation may include a combat vehicle.
The maneuverable group is designed to carry out tasks of destroying the enemy, firmly holding occupied positions and objects, and capturing his objects, weapons and equipment. As a rule, a senior gunner and one or two gunners are assigned to a maneuver group.
The fire group is designed to support with fire the actions of a maneuver group and, together with it, carry out tasks to destroy the enemy, firmly hold occupied positions and objects, and capture his objects, weapons and equipment. The fire team typically includes a squad leader, a grenade launcher, a grenade launcher assistant shooter, and a machine gunner.
Depending on the assigned task and situational conditions, the composition of battle groups may be different.
The combat vehicle is designed to support the actions of combat groups with fire, destroy armored and unarmored objects and enemy personnel, as well as transport squad personnel.
A motorized rifle platoon (squad) can operate on foot (on skis in winter), on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, cars) and by landing troops on tanks.
10. The use of units is organized and carried out based on general principles of tactics, which include: maintaining their high combat readiness; activity and decisiveness of action; timely detection of the enemy and destruction of him by fire; coordinated use of all units, forces and means participating in combined arms combat, maintaining continuous interaction between them; secrecy and surprise of actions, the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy); bold maneuver by units, weapons and fire; consolidation of achieved success; comprehensive support for combat (fulfillment of the assigned task); maintaining combat capability; constant consideration and skillful use of the moral and psychological factor; firm, stable and continuous management of units (personnel), forces and means.
11. Maintaining high combat readiness consists of organizing and carrying out a set of measures aimed at maintaining the unit’s ability to in any situation, in an organized manner, within the established time frame, begin to carry out the assigned task and successfully complete it.
The most important elements of the combat readiness of units are: high combat training of all personnel; constant readiness of the unit to carry out the assigned tasks; maintaining weapons and military equipment ready for use (combat use); provision of everything necessary for the successful completion of the assigned task; high vigilance of personnel.
12. Activity and decisiveness of action lie in the constant desire for the complete defeat of the enemy, in the readiness and ability of units in any conditions of the situation, strike at him, impose your will on him, seize and maintain the initiative.
The commander's decision to defeat the enemy must be firm and carried through to the end without hesitation. Inaction, failure to use all forces, means and opportunities to achieve success, indecision and passivity lead to defeat.
13. Timely detection of the enemy and destruction of him by fire is achieved by conducting continuous reconnaissance and skillful use of one’s weapons.
Destruction of the enemy by fire is achieved by: timely reconnaissance of targets; effective use of fire weapons in accordance with their combat capabilities; accuracy, suddenness of opening and firing with maximum density and intensity; skillful fire control in battle.
When performing combat missions, a platoon (squad, crew) fires from the weapons of infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) and tanks, from machine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles,
grenade launchers, uses hand grenades, and in hand-to-hand combat - blows with a bayonet, butt and infantry shovel.
Armament fire from infantry fighting vehicles and tanks destroys tanks, other armored vehicles, fire weapons and manpower of the enemy, destroys its fortifications, and hits low-flying aircraft, helicopters and other air targets. The fire from armored personnel carriers destroys manpower, fire weapons and other targets.
Machine guns and machine guns are used to destroy enemy personnel and firepower. In addition, they can be used to destroy low-flying air targets.
A sniper rifle is used to destroy important single targets (officers, observers, snipers, fire crews, low-flying helicopters) of the enemy. Anti-tank missile systems, anti-tank grenade launchers and rocket-propelled anti-tank grenades are used to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, and other grenade launchers and hand grenades are used to destroy enemy personnel and fire weapons located outside shelters, in open trenches, trenches and behind shelters (in ravines). , ravines and on reverse slopes of heights).
The firing position (place for shooting) must be convenient, provide a wide view and fire, cover the weapon (shooter) from enemy observation, exclude the presence of dead spaces in the firing sector and ensure maneuvering. After firing several shots (bursts) from one firing position (shooting location), in order to prevent the enemy from conducting aimed fire and deceiving him, it is changed.
It is prohibited to select and occupy a firing position (place for shooting) on the crests of heights (hillocks, hills), in front of local objects, against which the silhouette of the shooter will be clearly visible.

combined arms combat with fire, radio-electronic and nuclear damage according to tasks, directions, boundaries, time and methods of combat in the interests of the successful execution of combat missions by combined arms units.
In combat, the commander of a platoon (squad, tank) is obliged to maintain contact with subordinate, supporting and interacting units (fire weapons), complete received tasks in a timely manner, timely exchange data on the situation with interacting units, and actively support them with available means. In defense, it is necessary first of all to support the unit defending the most important positions, in the offensive - the one most advanced.
paralyze his offensive impulse and will to resist, disorganize command and control and create favorable conditions for victory even over an enemy superior in strength.
Military cunning (deception of the enemy) is carried out by misleading the enemy regarding the true state and actions of units. Methods of deceiving the enemy depend on the current situation, the combat mission received, the degree of readiness of units for decisive and unconventional actions in conditions of strict camouflage, as well as on weather conditions, time of year and day. Deceptive actions must be simple in concept and execution, organized secretly, carried out convincingly and in a timely manner.
The use of military cunning (deception of the enemy) should not allow treachery (covering the actions of troops with the right to defense, which is determined by international legal acts).
16. BOLD MANUAL IN SEPARATION OF FIRE MEANS gnem allows you to seize and maintain the initiative, thwart the enemy’s plans and successfully complete tasks in any situation.
The maneuver must be simple in concept and performed quickly, covertly and unexpectedly for the enemy. To carry it out, the results of enemy fire are used
(fire), open flanks, gaps, terrain folds, hidden approaches, aerosol screens, and in defense, in addition, trenches and communication passages.
17. Consolidating the achieved success allows you to maintain the tactical initiative and create conditions for further actions.
18. Comprehensive support for combat (fulfillment of the assigned task) consists of preparing and implementing measures aimed at maintaining units in high combat readiness, preserving their combat effectiveness and creating favorable conditions for completing assigned tasks.
Comprehensive support is divided into combat, moral and psychological, technical and logistics. It is carried out continuously during preparation and during the battle (fulfillment of the assigned task).
19. Maintaining combat capability is to ensure the readiness of units to successfully carry out combat missions in any situation.
