IV. Fundamentals of Defense (RF).
1. The purpose of defense and the requirements for it.
Defense is the main type of combined arms combat.
The purpose of the defense is to repel the advance of superior enemy forces, inflict maximum losses on him, hold important terrain lines and create favorable conditions for subsequent actions.
The main requirements for defense are its sustainability And activity.
Under the stability of defense one should understand its ability to withstand enemy attacks with all means of destruction, attacks by large masses of enemy tanks and infantry, prevent the landing and actions of airborne assault forces and airborne troops, hold important areas of the terrain and destroy the wedged group of enemy troops.
Defense stability achieved fulfillment of a number of requirements to ensure the achievement of defense goals and objectives.
1. Defense must be anti-nuclear, i.e. capable of withstanding the effects of nuclear weapons.
2. Defense must be low-vulnerable from the effects of enemy high-tech weapons, for which it is necessary to implement a set of measures for camouflage, dispersal of combat formations of troops, engineering equipment, anti-radar and anti-thermal protection. Active electronic suppression of enemy air defense systems and controls is important.
3. The defense must be anti-tank, capable of repelling massive attacks by tanks and armored vehicles.
4. Defense must be stable in anti-aircraft terms, i.e. capable of repelling enemy tactical and army aviation strikes.
5. Defense must be anti-landing, i.e. capable of preventing the landing and actions of airborne assault forces and sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
The stability of the defense is also ensured by the skillful construction of areas, sectors and defense lines.
Defense activity is in constantly defeating the enemy with all types of fire, in creating unfavorable combat conditions for him, in conducting a wide maneuver of forces and means, fire and strikes, as well as in conducting counterattacks.
Defense activity achieved :
1. Careful organization of nuclear and fire destruction of the enemy and skillful implementation of it in battle.
2. Timely maneuver of forces and means, fire and obstacles in the threatened direction.
3. Electronic suppression of enemy command and control systems for troops, weapons and aircraft.
Maneuver of forces and means consists of transferring the efforts of forces and means and moving them to new directions, lines or areas in order to create a more advantageous grouping of troops in the interests of carrying out a combat mission.
Maneuver of forces and means in defense can be carried out along the front, from rear to front, from front to rear by units and subunits of all types of troops.
In defense the following are distinguished: maneuver forms :
a) maneuver forces and means from unattacked areas to the threatened direction; in order to prevent the enemy from breaking through in the direction of his main attack, to eliminate the threat of the enemy bypassing or enveloping an open flank or junction with neighbors.
b) maneuver by the second echelon (reserve) to occupy prepared firing lines; in order to close gaps in the defense as a result of massive strikes by enemy aviation and high-tech weapons, to repel a sudden enemy breakthrough;
c) maneuver by strikes and fire consists in quickly concentrating strikes and fire on the most important groupings of enemy troops;
d) anti-tank maneuver by anti-tank artillery and ATGM units, combat helicopters, anti-tank guns and POZ to deployment lines in threatened directions in order to prevent a breakthrough by enemy tanks.
e) anti-landing maneuver by the anti-landing reserve or part of the second echelon (reserve) forces, combat helicopters with the aim of destroying the enemy landing force.
2. Types of defense and their characteristics. Conditions for transition to defense.
A motorized rifle division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) can prepare defense in advance or go on the defensive during hostilities.
When transitioning to defense in advance, a division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) can occupy the defense simultaneously in full strength or sequentially: first, units (units) allocated for cover and combat duty, subsequently - RV&A, units (units) intended for defense in the most important directions, and then the rest of the troops. Last but not least are the areas where logistics and technical support units are located.
When switching to defense during combat operations, the occupation of defense, the creation of a battle formation, a fire system and engineering barriers are carried out within a certain time frame, after securing the captured line.
Defense can applies intentionally or forced. A deliberate transition to defense is most typical during the initial period of warfare. A forced transition to the defensive is, as a rule, a consequence of an unfavorable situation when repelling the offensive of superior enemy forces, the unsuccessful outcome of an oncoming battle, or an insufficient number of forces and means to conduct an offensive.
A division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) can move on to defense outside of contact with the enemy or in direct contact with him.
Defense is being prepared for a long time or in a short time.
Depending on the combat mission, the availability of forces and means, and the nature of the terrain, defense can be positional And maneuverable.
Positional defense It is used in areas where the loss of territory is unacceptable and is carried out with the aim of strong and long-term retention of boundaries, stripes and areas, as well as important objects.
Maneuver defense used in areas where there is significant enemy superiority and temporary abandonment of territory is possible. It consists of the consistent conduct of defensive battles to hold echeloned lines in depth, combined with short counterattacks.
In maneuver defense they take two methods of troop action .
First way– in the first echelon, limited forces by consistent defense force the enemy to attack in a direction unfavorable for him; second echelon - the main forces are intended to carry out counterattacks.
Second way- the main forces are deployed in the first echelon, successively holding several lines echeloned in depth and defeating the advancing enemy with the expectation of exhausting his main forces and defeating him at the final defensive line.
Maneuverable defense is based on sequential fire engagement of the enemy while holding each defensive line, timely maneuver by units (subunits) and launching surprise counterattacks by second echelons (reserves), and the widespread use of engineering obstacles.
3. Elements of building a brigade defense. Basic tactical standards in defense (platoon-brigade).

V. Fundamentals of the offensive (RF).
1. The purpose of the offensive, methods of troops going on the offensive and their essence.
Offensive- one of the main types of military (combat) actions (along with defense), based on the attacking actions of military formations. It is used to defeat the enemy (destroy manpower, military equipment, infrastructure) and capture important areas, borders and objects on enemy territory.
It consists of defeating the enemy by all available means, a decisive attack, the rapid advance of troops into the depths of his location, the destruction and capture of manpower, the seizure of weapons and equipment, various objects and designated areas (frontiers) of the terrain.
In motorized rifle (motorized infantry) and other troops (special forces). Like a battalion, a division is the smallest formation that has a headquarters.
Regardless of belonging to the armed forces of a particular state, artillery battalion comprises division headquarters, fire batteries and auxiliary combat and logistics support units. Fire batteries are called batteries armed with guns. In the artillery of the armed forces of different states, auxiliary formations can be called batteries in different versions - control battery, artillery reconnaissance battery, headquarters battery, auxiliary battery, battery maintenance and so on.
Regimental artillery
Artillery battalion- a unit as part of a motorized rifle/tank/parachute/marine infantry regiment/brigade.
For example, organizational structure adn motorized rifle regiment in the USSR Armed Forces in the mid-1980s had the following form:
- division headquarters and separate platoons with him:
- platoon of the regimental artillery chief's control (vuna),
- division control platoon (wood),
- support platoon (in),
- divisional medical center (dmp);
- self-propelled artillery battery (sabatre) which included:
- control platoon (woo),
- two fire platoon (ov) three units of 2C1 each;
- two howitzer artillery batteries (gabatr) each of which included:
- control platoon (woo),
- two fire platoon (ov) three units of 122-mm D-30 howitzers each,
- draft department (drivers department) (from/s).
Platoon of the Regimental Artillery Chief's Directorate (Wuna) is a formation that provides communications with artillery units within battalions. Formally in an organizational manner vuna listed at the headquarters of the regiment/brigade, actually part of division. Divisional control platoon (wood) performs the function of providing communications and intelligence for fire batteries. Control platoon (woo) V fire battery designed to conduct reconnaissance (by the forces of the reconnaissance department consisting of a squad commander, a rangefinder and a driver) and provide communications (by the forces of a communications department consisting of a squad commander, three or four radiotelephonists and a driver). The military unit may include a computer with the rank of corporal. Traction department (from) performs the task of towing guns.
In service adn regimental artillery there could be from one to three types of weapons.
Structure artillery battalion in the armies of NATO countries is similar to the Soviet one with the exception of details, such as different terminology and the unification of auxiliary platoons of combat and logistics support with division headquarters in formations called headquarters battery And battery maintenance. IN artillery battalion In the US Army, these units are divided into a Headquarters Battery and a Service Battery. IN artillery battalion motorized infantry brigade Germany, auxiliary units are combined into one formation referred to as headquarters and supply battery .
Divisional artillery
- regimental headquarters
- self-propelled artillery division (sadn) at 18 2С3
- two howitzer artillery battalions (gadn) in each on 18th D-30
- rocket artillery battalion (readn) for 18 BM-21
- Combat and logistics support units.
In addition to the same type of weapons, the rest of the organizational structure adn artillery regiment- fully consistent adn motorized rifle/tank/parachute regiment.
It should be noted that in the US Army there is no such formation within the divisions as artillery regiment/brigade. Divisional artillery is represented in it artillery headquarters And headquarters company with him, headed division artillery chief, under whose control there are several artillery battalions. Compound artillery battalion unlike its Soviet counterpart, it has auxiliary combat and logistics support units combined into two batteries.
For example, the composition artillery battalion 155 mm self-propelled howitzers US Heavy Motorized Infantry Division looks like this:
- division headquarters
- headquarters battery in the following composition:
- control platoon
- communications platoon
- battery maintenance in the following composition:
- control platoon
- support platoon
- ammunition platoon
- repair platoon
- 3rd howitzer batteries, 8 self-propelled howitzers M109 each.
Number of personnel artillery battalion 155 mm self-propelled howitzers - 687 people.
Separate artillery battalion
separate artillery division (sadn) - a separate formation within the division. In the armed forces of some states, divisions except artillery regiment/brigade, also included/is included oadn . For example, in the period before 1983, the Soviet airborne divisions except artillery regiment also included separate self-propelled artillery division (siege) on ASU-85 and separate rocket artillery battalion (oreadn) on BM-21V.
Separate missile division
separate missile division (order)
- a separate formation within the motorized rifle/tank divisions of the USSR Armed Forces in the period before 1988, and after 1988 - a structural formation in separate missile brigades (orbr) army subordination.
They were formed in the mid-60s and were initially armed with 9K52 Luna-M complexes, which were later re-equipped with 9K79 Tochka.
Staff structure order
:
- division headquarters
- auxiliary platoons
- 2nd starting batteries (sbatr) 2 self-propelled launchers each ( spu).
Personnel - about 120 people.
Separate anti-tank artillery division
separate anti-tank artillery division (optadn) - a separate formation within motorized rifle divisions (MSD) USSR Armed Forces.

At the end of 1941, one of those miracles that never ceases to amaze the world happened. Defeated, bloodless, almost completely destroyed, the Red Army seemed to rise from the dead, first pushing the Wehrmacht back from Moscow, then defeating Paulus’s army at Stalingrad and finally seizing the strategic initiative in the Battle of Kursk, which predetermined the outcome of the war.
A new book by an authoritative military historian dedicated to these events is not an ordinary chronicle of military operations, more than an ordinary description of the battles of 1941 - 1943. In his outstanding study, the leading American specialist did something that none of his colleagues had dared to do before - he conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Soviet military machine and its work in the first years of the war, revealing the mechanics of the “Russian military miracle.”
Encyclopedic in its coverage of material, unprecedented in its accuracy and depth of analysis, this work has already been recognized as a classic.
Having studied a huge volume of archival documents, assessing the combat capabilities and tactics of both sides, the balance of forces on the Soviet-German front and the style of warfare, David Glantz examines in detail the process of accumulation of combat experience by the Red Army, which allowed it to first catch up with the enemy, and then surpass that which was considered invincible Wehrmacht.
This fundamental work debunks many myths existing in both German and American historiography. Glantz irrefutably proves that the decisive victory over Germany was won precisely on the Eastern Front and was by no means accidental, that the outcome of the war was decided not by “generals Mud and Frost”, not by the stupidity and incompetence of Hitler (who was in fact an outstanding strategist), but by the increased the skill of the Soviet command and the courage, dedication and steadfastness of the Russian soldier.

Separate anti-aircraft artillery divisions, which provided rifle corps with protection from air attacks (one division per rifle corps), consisted of three batteries equipped with four 76-mm or 85-mm guns each, with a total battalion strength of 12 anti-aircraft guns. However, as of June 22, only 40 of the Red Army's 61 rifle corps had full-time anti-aircraft artillery battalions. Although a typical rifle corps, consisting of three rifle divisions supported by a single separate anti-aircraft artillery division, was supposed to have 48 anti-aircraft guns, 72 quadruple 7.62- mm anti-aircraft machine guns and 27 mounted 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine guns; by the beginning of the war, only a few of them were fully equipped with anti-aircraft weapons.
In addition to these anti-aircraft artillery forces, the Red Army also included battalions of armored trains and individual armored trains, which were used throughout the war as platforms for anti-aircraft guns and, as a rule, were subordinate to the country's air defense.
Along with the Red Army as a whole, its anti-aircraft troops also suffered heavy losses during Operation Barbarossa:
“Due to the large losses of aviation and the impossibility of massing it, the air defense of the troops was carried out mainly by anti-aircraft artillery and small arms adapted for firing at air targets. The air defense troops suffered heavy losses in materiel during operations. In addition, a significant amount of anti-aircraft artillery weapons were used to equip anti-tank fighter units. The production of anti-aircraft artillery weapons decreased due to the beginning of the evacuation of industrial enterprises. All this led to a large shortage of firepower in air defense units. For example, by the end of the second month of the war, the Southwestern Front had only 232 - 76.2 mm and 176 - 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, which amounted to 70 and 40% of the front’s standard requirement for this artillery, respectively.”.
When the NKO began to simplify the military structure of the Red Army in the summer of 1941, in addition to abolishing the rifle corps, it also reduced the number of anti-aircraft forces located in rifle regiments and divisions, shifting responsibility for air defense to individual anti-aircraft artillery divisions of the combined arms armies. For example, by December 1941, the NKO converted the anti-aircraft companies of rifle regiments into platoons with three 12.7 mm heavy anti-aircraft machine guns, and the anti-aircraft battalions of rifle divisions into anti-aircraft batteries equipped with six 37 mm anti-aircraft guns and nine trucks. This reduction process culminated at the end of December with the elimination of anti-aircraft platoons in rifle regiments and anti-aircraft batteries in rifle divisions. This was done mainly due to the reduction in the German air threat, with the result that the 108 separate anti-aircraft artillery divisions available in the RVGK on 1 January 1942 seemed capable of protecting the Red Army field forces until larger ones could be formed air defense forces RVGK.
At the beginning of 1942, the NKO began to strengthen the anti-aircraft forces of the RVGK, beginning to form small anti-aircraft artillery regiments to protect the field armies. These regiments consisted of three batteries with four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns each and two anti-aircraft machine gun companies: one of three platoons of four Maxim machine guns, and one of two platoons of four DShK machine guns each, for a total regiment strength of 326 people , twelve 37 mm cannons, twelve 7.62 mm and eight 12.7 mm machine guns. The NKO assigned 35 of these regiments to the active fronts in June 1942, including 18 to the Western, eight each to the Bryansk and Southwestern, and one to the North Caucasus. In addition, on June 2, the NKO improved the control of anti-aircraft troops, subordinating all anti-aircraft units, guns and machine guns, as well as all air surveillance, target recognition and communications equipment in the active fronts and armies to the chief of artillery of the Red Army and the newly appointed deputy artillery commanders in the active fronts and armies.
To further strengthen the anti-aircraft forces, the NKO began to form two new types of anti-aircraft artillery divisions in early and mid-August 1942. The first consisted of three batteries with four 76-mm or 85-mm guns and one DShK machine gun in each, the second had the same structure and the same weapons, but numbered 514 people and was reinforced by a battery of six searchlights. Finally, at the end of August 1942, the NKO formed another, heavier version of the anti-aircraft regiment - from two divisions with 12 guns each. However, by the end of the year, only eight such regiments had been formed.
Despite these attempts to strengthen air defense, front and army commanders experienced considerable difficulty in amassing a sufficient number of anti-aircraft weapons to protect their troops during major operations. Therefore, on October 22, 1942, the NKO issued an order, signed by Stalin, requiring all air fronts and armies to form anti-aircraft artillery groups, which, together with front-line aviation, would cover their troops during major operations:
1. To provide cover from enemy aircraft for strike groups in the initial position and during the offensive, in addition to the use of cover aircraft, create anti-aircraft groups from army air defense regiments and by removing anti-aircraft batteries and anti-aircraft machine gun companies of rifle and other formations operating on the main and secondary directions.
Assign from 1/2 to 2/3 of all military anti-aircraft assets of the front (army) to the anti-aircraft group.
An anti-aircraft group is assigned to a strike group of an army or front to cover it.
2. Particularly carefully, on the spot and on the move, organize an observation and warning service so that the anti-aircraft group has time to prepare in a timely manner to open fire on enemy aircraft and create barrage fire, and the troops have time to take the necessary measures to reduce losses from bombing and machine-gun fire from enemy aircraft .
3. The command of the anti-aircraft group of the advancing army is entrusted to the deputy chief of army artillery for air defense, at whose disposal the army headquarters is to allocate the necessary means of communication.
4. All command personnel of all branches of the military provide assistance and the necessary assistance to anti-aircraft batteries and machine-gun companies of the anti-aircraft group advancing behind the advancing troops: let them through crossings out of turn, allow them to overtake columns of troops on the roads, help anti-aircraft units when leaving roads to occupy them firing positions.
In accordance with this order, already on October 31, 1942, part of the anti-aircraft artillery regiments was consolidated into 18 new anti-aircraft artillery divisions of the RVGK. Such a division consisted of a headquarters, four army-style anti-aircraft artillery regiments with three four-gun batteries each, as well as a small logistics service. It had a total strength of 1,345 personnel, forty-eight 3 7-mm anti-aircraft guns, 48 Maxim machine guns and 32 DShK machine guns.
As a result, the anti-aircraft artillery of the RVGK increased from 108 regiments on January 1, 1942 to 27 anti-aircraft artillery divisions, 123 separate anti-aircraft artillery regiments and 109 separate anti-aircraft artillery divisions by January 1, 1943, and to 30 divisions, 94 separate regiments and 95 individual divisions - on February 1, 1943.
This increase became possible only because the Soviet military industry produced 3,499 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and 2,761 85-mm anti-aircraft guns in 1942, and another 5,472 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and 3,713 85-mm anti-aircraft guns in 1943. mm caliber. However, despite this increase in production, a continued shortage of medium 85 mm anti-aircraft guns prevented the Red Army's anti-aircraft forces from effectively combating aircraft flying at altitudes above 3,000 meters.
In 1943, the NKO significantly strengthened and improved its anti-aircraft artillery forces. In the second half of February, he reorganized the anti-aircraft artillery divisions, adding a fire control company to each of them, eliminating one of the light regiments to reinforce each of the remaining three with a fourth battery, and adding to each division a fourth medium regiment with 85 mm anti-aircraft guns capable of shooting down enemy aircraft at an altitude of more than 3000 meters. Initially, these divisions consisted of three light regiments with four batteries of four 37 mm anti-aircraft guns each for a total regimental strength of 16 guns, one medium regiment divided into four 4-gun batteries, for a total regimental strength of sixteen 76 mm or 85 -mm anti-aircraft guns and enhanced rear service. In total, the division had 64 anti-aircraft guns. In addition, the NKO completed the removal of anti-aircraft batteries from the rifle divisions, using their material to help equip the new artillery divisions of the RVGK, subordinate to the RVGK, and included many anti-aircraft artillery regiments and divisions in these new divisions.
During the same period, the formation of two new specialized types of anti-aircraft artillery regiments began. The first, formed in February to protect airfields, had twelve 37-mm guns, 12 Maxim machine guns and eight DShKs, differing from the 1942 model regiment only in that it had no vehicles, and the personnel consisted of only 270 soldiers. The second type of regiments for the protection of airfields was formed in April, these regiments were similar in structure to the regiments of anti-aircraft artillery divisions and had 420 personnel, twelve 37-mm guns, 12 Maxim machine guns and 12 DShK machine guns - not divided into two, and for four platoons. In 1943, the NKO formed 38 airfield protection regiments and 52 new independent anti-aircraft artillery regiments; of the latter, all but four were based on the previous 12-gun structure.
In April 1943, the formation of new separate anti-aircraft artillery divisions began. These divisions consisted of three batteries with four 76 mm or 85 mm anti-aircraft guns and one DShK machine gun each, with a total strength of approximately 380 personnel, twelve 76 mm or 85 mm anti-aircraft guns and three DShK machine guns. However, a shortage of 76 mm anti-aircraft guns forced the NKO to form only two such divisions, each consisting of two batteries with four 37 mm guns and one battery with 85 mm guns.
Thanks to these reforms, the NKO was able to place almost all anti-aircraft artillery forces of the Red Army under the leadership of the RVGK. Anti-aircraft artillery regiments and divisions protected the active troops of the armies and fronts, and medium-caliber anti-aircraft artillery divisions covered key targets in the rear. In addition, the Red Army used more than 60 armored trains for air defense in 1943 - for example, during the Battle of Kursk, Soviet ground forces were supported by 35 armored trains.
