Offensive- the type of battle is carried out in order to defeat the enemy and possession of important areas of the terrain.

The offensive is in the defeat of the enemy with all available means of a decisive attack, the rapid advance of troops into the depths of his battle formation, the destruction and capture of manpower, the capture of weapons and equipment, various objects, designated areas (land lines).

Destruction is understood inflicting such damage on the enemy, in which he loses the ability to resist.

Conditions for going on the offensive

determined: the period of the war (in the initial period of the war, in the subsequent period of the war, in the final period of the war), the type of weapon used (using nuclear weapons, with the use of conventional weapons), natural climatic conditions (season, day, features of the B / D situation)

depends - on factors (enemy, B / Z, terrain, period of war, time of year, day)

Based on the actions of the enemy - the enemy on the offensive, the enemy stopped but did not consolidate, the enemy went on the defensive and entrenched, the enemy’s defense was prepared)

Ways to go on the offensive:

From a position of direct contact

After the regrouping, after the change of troops

From the depths

From the area of ​​concentration, from the source area, a permanent deployment point, without occupying the area.

Tactical tasks in the offensive:

Fire defeat of the enemy, the conquest and maintenance of fire superiority.

Disorganization of the system of command and control of enemy reconnaissance troops and weapons.

29. Attack on the defending enemy from a position of direct contact with him.

An offensive can lead to a defending, advancing or retreating enemy.

An attack on an advancing enemy is carried out in the form of a battle, and on a retreating enemy in the form of a pursuit.

A battalion's offensive against a battalion occupying a prepared defense, as a rule, is carried out from a position of direct contact with it, and against a battalion that has hastily passed over to the defensive, from the depth.

An attack on an advancing enemy is carried out by means of a meeting engagement, and an attack on a retreating enemy is carried out by pursuing him.

Preparation of the offensive battalion (company) includes: offensive organization: (decision making, reconnaissance, setting tasks for units, offensive planning, organizing fire, interaction, comprehensive support, control); preparation of the command, battalion headquarters and subunits for the offensive; deployment and occupation by them of the initial area (position for the offensive); practical work battalion (company) commander, his deputies, assistant and battalion headquarters in subdivisions and other activities.

An offensive with advance from the depths is, as a rule, organized according to a map; if time is available, reconnaissance is carried out; when organizing an offensive from a position of direct contact with the enemy, most of the work is done on the ground.

Upon receipt of a combat order, a combat (preliminary combat) order for an offensive, the battalion (company) commander clarifies the task received, calculates the time and, having assessed the situation, makes a decision in which he determines: the plan of the battle; tasks for elements of the battle order (subunits), the main issues of interaction, comprehensive support and control. After the offensive is organized, the battalion (company) commander directs the work of officers in the direct preparation of subordinate commanders, subunits, forces and means for the fulfillment of the assigned task.

In the plan, by stages of accomplishing the task, the following are determined: directions for concentrating the main efforts, if they are not indicated by the senior commander (including objects (targets) on the destruction of which the main efforts should be concentrated); the forms and methods of accomplishing a combat mission (the chosen variant of going over to the offensive, the type of maneuver, which enemy, where, in what sequence and how to defeat him, indicating the order of his fire engagement); distribution of forces and means (building a battle formation); ensuring secrecy during the preparation and during the battle. The commander especially defines the idea of ​​deceiving the enemy, which is brought to a limited circle of people. The idea is approved by the senior boss.

Depending on the conditions for the transition to the offensive, the battalion (company) commander in the battle plan determines the line of deployment in platoon columns and advance routes to it, the lines of dismounting, safe removal, initial (waiting) positions (starting position of platoons), and the commander of a motorized rifle battalion on vehicles additionally - places for landing by troops on tanks. In addition, he determines the starting point, the line of deployment in company columns and routes of advance to it, the line of transition to the attack and the places for equipping tanks with roller mine sweeps, if they are not indicated by the senior commander.

When defining tasks for elements of the battle formation (subunits), the commander usually determines: their combat strength, indicating the forces and means of reinforcement and the procedure for their reassignment; initial (waiting) positions (initial position of platoons); areas of concentration of the main efforts (according to the stages of accomplishing the task); tactical tasks to be performed, indicating the method of transition and the start of the offensive; allocated number of missiles and ammunition; readiness time.

The divisions of the first echelon are additionally determined by the direction of the offensive; the immediate task and the direction of the further offensive, and the second echelon unit ( combined arms reserve) - the direction of movement during the battle; probable lines of entry into battle; the immediate task and the direction of the continuation of the offensive.

In the main issues of interaction, the commander, by stages (tasks and lines), determines the order of interaction between the elements of the battle order (subunits) among themselves, with neighbors, as well as with the forces and means of the senior commander performing tasks in the interests of the battalion (company).

In the main issues of comprehensive support, the commander usually determines: the main measures for combat, morale, psychological, technical and logistic support, carried out both during preparation and during the offensive. At the same time, the areas (directions) for concentrating the main efforts, the main tasks, the sequence and timing of their implementation, the forces and means involved, and the procedure for managing them are determined.

Radiation, chemical and biological protection in a battalion (company) is organized and carried out in order to reduce the impact on units of damaging factors of weapons of mass destruction, high-precision and other types of weapons, destruction (accidents) of radiation, chemically and biologically hazardous objects, inflicting losses on the enemy using flamethrower incendiary means.

The main tasks of radiation, chemical and biological protection in a battalion (company) are: identification and assessment of the radiation and chemical situation; protection of troops from damaging factors of weapons of mass destruction and radioactive, chemical and biological contamination; reduced visibility of troops and facilities; the use of flamethrower and incendiary means; implementation of radiation, chemical and biological protection measures in the event of liquidation of the consequences of accidents (destructions) at radiation, chemically and biologically hazardous facilities.

Radiation, chemical and biological protection in a battalion (company) includes: radiation and chemical reconnaissance and control; collection and processing of data on radiation, chemical and biological conditions; warning troops about radioactive, chemical and biological contamination; use of means of individual and collective protection, protective properties of the terrain, weapons, military equipment and other objects; special treatment of units (subdivisions), disinfection of terrain, military facilities and structures; aerosol countermeasures against enemy reconnaissance and weapon control means; the use of radio-absorbing materials and foam coatings; the use of flamethrower and incendiary means.

In the main issues of control, the commander determines (specifies) the places and time of deployment of the command and observation post (the place of the command vehicle in order of battle), direction and order of its movement; the procedure for the transfer of control in the event of failure of the command and observation post; measures to ensure the sustainability of management (maintaining efficiency, continuity and secrecy) and monitoring the implementation of tasks.

The decision made on the map is specified during the reconnaissance.

When attacking from a position of direct contact with the enemy, the commander of a motorized rifle battalion (company) additionally specifies the places for passing tanks and their designation.

Clarification of advance routes, deployment lines, measures for their preparation, including in the interests of protecting units from enemy high-precision weapons, is carried out during the course of reconnaissance and when returning from it, or during the work of officers as part of separate reconnaissance groups according to the plan of the senior commander.

It should be noted that in modern conditions, due to a qualitative change in the means of armed struggle, on the one hand, the volume of work in preparing an offensive has sharply increased and, on the other, the time for its implementation has decreased. So, if in the past war it usually took two or three days to prepare an offensive in the battalion-company link, now the time has significantly decreased.

The order and content of the work of the company (battalion) commander in organizing the battle are determined by the conditions of the situation and, above all, by the methods of going over to the offensive, the combat mission and the availability of time. Thus, when going over to the offensive from a position of direct contact with the enemy, the company (battalion) commander has the opportunity to carry out all the work of organizing the battle directly on the ground.

It should be noted that under the conditions of a transition to the offensive from a position of direct contact with the enemy, the company (battalion) commander, simultaneously with the organization of the battle, also decides the questions of regrouping or changing the defending subunits. Moreover, when going on the offensive after regrouping from a position of defense, the organization of combat on the ground (in the direction of the offensive) is carried out during the period when the company (battalion) is in a strong point (defense area) under enemy fire. Under the conditions of a transition to the offensive with a simultaneous change of defending subunits or on the move, combat is organized on the ground, respectively, in the area of ​​concentration and in the initial area, out of contact with the enemy.

Sometimes, when attacking on the move, it will not be possible to travel with subordinate commanders to the terrain. In this case, the organization of the battle is carried out in the initial area on the map or on the layout of the area. However, during the advance of subunits to the line of transition to the attack and with the beginning of it, the commander specifies their task and the order of interaction.

In a situation where one has to participate in breaking through the defense (as a rule, hastily taken up) in the course of the development of the offensive, the company (battalion) commander is forced to make a decision on the map and set tasks for subunits in the course of their advancement to the enemy’s defense. During the period of deployment in pre-combat, combat formations and with the beginning of the attack, the tasks and order of interaction are specified for the subunits.

Offensive on the defending enemy begins at the signal of the senior commander by conducting fire preparations for the offensive. Making passes in their minefields is done before the start of the offensive. Under favorable conditions, their minefields removed completely. Passages in the enemy's engineering obstacles in front of his forward edge are made, as a rule, in the course of fire training. In the event that all attacking tanks and combat vehicles infantry is equipped with mine trawls, passages in enemy minefields are made at the rate of one or two per attacking company to pass through them equipment that does not have trawls. In other cases, passes are usually made at the rate of one per attacking platoon. During the fire preparation of the offensive, the battalion's fire weapons not involved in the execution of fire missions according to the plan of the senior commander destroy the enemy's observed fire weapons, primarily anti-tank and armored ones, at the forefront and in the nearest depth.

The battalion (company) commander monitors the results of the fire, sets additional tasks for subunits, fire weapons to destroy the surviving and newly identified enemy targets, controls the timeliness of making passages in engineering barriers, advancing attached (interacting) tanks and reports to the senior commander on readiness for an attack.

Tanks intended to be equipped with roller mine sweeps are brought to the places indicated by them in the manner prescribed by the brigade (regiment) commander.

Subunits in direct contact with the enemy destroy and suppress enemy firepower and manpower in strong points in the first position with their fire. In the event of an enemy counter-training personnel, except for observers and crews of fire weapons on duty, on the commands of commanders, takes cover in trenches and other shelters.

The offensive of a motorized rifle battalion from a position of direct contact with the enemy is carried out from the initial area occupied after regrouping from the defensive position or simultaneously with the change of defending subunits.

In the initial area for the offensive of the battalion, the companies of the first echelon take up their starting positions in the first trench and adjacent communication passages, and the company of the second echelon - in the second and third trenches.

Infantry fighting vehicles (APCs), depending on the situation, may be in the same places or together with attached tank units in their original or waiting positions.

Anti-aircraft units companies are in combat formations, and a mortar (artillery) battery is at a distance of up to 500 m from the companies of the first echelon. Anti-tank and grenade launcher units are located behind the companies of the first echelon at a distance of up to 100 and 300 m, respectively.

Tank subunits attached to the battalion and on the defensive, after the necessary regrouping, can take up a waiting or starting position. When going over to the offensive, when motorized rifle subunits change defenders, a tank battalion (a tank unit attached to a motorized rifle battalion) usually takes a wait-and-see position. On it, the battalion is usually deployed in company formation, taking into account the conduct of defense in the event of the enemy going on the offensive after counter-preparation. Protective measures against high-precision weapons, radar, sound and light camouflage are observed.

When the enemy conducts fire counter-training, personnel and military equipment are in shelters, except for observers and on-duty fire weapons.

At the set time, on the signal (command) of the senior commander, the fire preparation of the attack begins. In the course of its anti-tank, grenade launcher units and artillery attached to the battalion, allocated for direct fire, destroy and suppress enemy fire weapons and manpower in its forward strongholds.

The battalion commander from his command and observation post monitors the results of the fire preparation of the attack, if necessary, sets additional tasks for the fire weapons to destroy the remaining, newly identified targets, and also controls the advancement of the attached tank unit from its position. Reports to the commander of the regiment about the readiness for the attack.

A tank battalion intended for an offensive in the first echelon (a tank unit attached to a motorized rifle battalion) advances from a waiting position to the line of transition to the attack during fire preparation for the attack.

As they approach the front line of the enemy's defense, the tank companies deploy into platoon columns and enter the line of transition to the attack in battle formation. Without stopping at this line, the tank battalion (a tank unit attached to a motorized rifle battalion) goes on the attack at the maximum allowable speed. At the same time, tanks destroy enemy manpower and firepower with fire on the move. Infantry fighting vehicles (APCs) advance to their units.

When tanks approach their starting positions motorized rifle companies the first echelon of motorized rifles, when attacking on foot, attack after the tanks. Infantry fighting vehicles (APCs) jump from line to line behind their subunits at a distance that provides them with effective fire support. When attacking infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), motorized rifle subunits place personnel in them during the fire preparation of the attack.

With the beginning of the transition of tanks to the attack, at the command (signal) of the senior commander, artillery begins artillery support for the attack. The battalion's firepower, allocated for direct fire, continues to destroy enemy targets, firing from gaps between their subunits and from behind their flanks.

When attacking motorized rifle companies on foot, motorized riflemen overcome minefields following the tanks along their tracks and along the passes made. Infantry fighting vehicles equipped with trawls overcome minefields on their own, and those without trawls (including armored personnel carriers) go through passages made by engineering and sapper units, usually by explosive means. If motorized rifle subunits attack infantry fighting vehicles equipped with trawls, they overcome minefields without curtailing their battle formation, and military equipment that does not have trawls, through the passes made.

With the approach of attacking motorized rifle companies and tank subunits to the line of safe removal from explosions of their shells and mines (grenades), artillery fire (grenade launchers) is transferred to the depth. At exactly the set time "H", motorized rifle and tank subunits of the first echelon of the battalion break into the front line of the enemy's defense, destroy his manpower, fire weapons and develop an attack in depth.

The attack of the battalion is carried out with the support of artillery fire and air strikes, including combat helicopters. fire support attacks are carried out continuously to the entire depth of defense of the brigade (regiment) of the first echelon of the enemy. Combat helicopters destroy tanks, anti-tank weapons and other armored targets located 2-3 km or more ahead of the advancing subunits, while fighter-bombers hit enemy targets at greater depths.

Regular and attached to the battalion artillery, in cooperation with the fire weapons of the senior commander, continuously and consistently suppresses manpower and fire weapons, especially anti-tank ones, in front of the front and on the flanks of the battalion offensive. This artillery is moved to new firing positions by order of the battalion commander, usually after the attacking forward platoon strongholds of the enemy have been captured. At the command (signal) of the battalion commander, the transfer and call of fire can also be carried out when conducting artillery support for an attack by successive concentration of fire, concentrated fire and fire at individual targets.

The grenade launcher platoon of the battalion advances behind the companies of the first echelon, in their gaps or on one of its flanks. If necessary, the platoon can move into the combat formations of motorized rifle companies.

An anti-tank platoon moves in a tank-dangerous direction behind one of the companies of the first echelon in readiness to repel counterattacks by enemy tanks.

The anti-aircraft subunit, moving behind the companies of the first echelon, conducts reconnaissance of the air enemy and covers the subunits from the air.

The attacking tank and motorized rifle subunits of the battalion, using the results of fire damage, immediately destroy manpower and firepower I in strong points and create conditions for defeating the enemy in the depths of the defense. On the direction where the enemy is reliably suppressed and does not organized resistance, the battalion can conduct an offensive in pre-battle order.

When fighting in the depths of the first defensive position, the enemy can counterattack the battalion with brigade reserves. In this case, when the attacking subunits of the battalion have superiority over the counterattacking or equal forces and means, it is destroyed, as a rule, by fire and a decisive attack on the move. If the counterattacking enemy has superiority in forces and means, it is more advantageous for the battalion to strike him with fire from the spot and subsequently complete the rout with a decisive attack in cooperation with neighboring subunits, artillery and combat helicopters.

With the companies of the first echelon completing the immediate task, the battalion commander puts them new task and takes measures to build up efforts by bringing the second echelon (reserve) into battle. Depending on the situation, it can be put into battle when the battalion completes the immediate task or after it has been completed. The second echelon (reserve) moves behind the subunits of the first echelon at a distance of 1-2 km covertly from line to line, using the camouflage and protective properties of the terrain, as a rule, in pre-battle order. He is introduced into battle in the intervals between companies, from behind the flank of one of the companies, and sometimes by rolling over their battle formations (Scheme 4).

When the second echelon (reserve) is brought into battle, the battalion commander usually specifies by radio (indicates to the reserve): the latest information about the enemy; the position of the first echelon units; the line of entry into battle and the time of entering it; the immediate task and the direction of the continuation of the offensive; amplification means, places and time of their arrival; tasks of regular and attached artillery; the order of fire support and interaction with first-echelon units and neighbors.

The second echelon (reserve) of the battalion is advanced to the line of entry into battle from maximum speed and with the approach to the line, it quickly deploys into battle formation. Before entering it into battle, artillery, grenade launchers and other fire weapons produce a fire raid. The advancement and deployment of the second echelon is covered by anti-aircraft subunits and is provided by the companies of the first echelon. The company of the second echelon, firing on the move, together with the units of the first echelon of the battalion, rapidly attacks the enemy with the support of artillery and performs the assigned task. With the introduction of the second echelon into battle, the battalion commander creates a reserve at the expense of units operating outside the direction of concentration of his main efforts. To conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the offensive, the battalion commander puts forward a reconnaissance (combat reconnaissance) patrol.

When attacking motorized rifle units on foot, after the destruction of the enemy in his first position, personnel are usually boarded in infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, landing on tanks). The battalion, using the fire of artillery and its means, air strikes, continues a decisive offensive in depth.

Minefields laid by enemy means remote mining in front of the attacking companies, if it is impossible to bypass them, they are overcome along the aisles. They are carried out by the battalion clearing group, company demining groups and other demining methods. Movement along the aisles is carried out by units in pre-battle formations under the cover of fire from artillery, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (APC), anti-tank and grenade launcher units of the battalion. In order to ensure the timely advance of the barrier group to make passages in the obstacles, it is advisable to move it behind the companies of the first echelon near the command and observation post of the battalion commander.

The battalion command and observation post during the offensive moves behind the companies of the first echelon at a distance that provides the commander with the possibility of continuous observation of the battlefield, stable communication with the senior commander, attached and supporting units. The battalion commander must constantly conduct reconnaissance of the enemy and the terrain, monitor the battlefield, support subunits that have achieved the greatest success with artillery fire in a timely manner, and skillfully use it to develop the offensive.

When advancing in a direction where the enemy is reliably suppressed and does not offer organized resistance, the battalion may not deploy in battle formation, but attack in pre-combat formation. To destroy the remaining enemy, the assigned units may deploy in battle formation. If the battalion goes on the offensive outside the regiment's breakthrough area, then active actions, primarily by fire of all means, to prevent the enemy from withdrawing part of the forces from their position and transferring them to the breakthrough sector. In conditions when a reliable fire defeat of the enemy has been carried out or when a part of the forces is detected or they withdraw from their positions, the battalion must decisively attack him with the support of artillery fire. Moreover, it is advisable to carry out the attack with the main forces in the direction adjacent to the breakthrough section. Making extensive use of maneuver with fire and subunits, one should destroy the enemy in strong points and develop the offensive in depth. A situation may arise when the enemy puts up stubborn resistance on the front line of defense. In this case, it is advisable to bring into battle the second echelon of the battalion in the breakthrough sector with the task of striking the flank and rear of the enemy strongholds, defeating him, expanding the breakthrough sector and developing the offensive in depth.

Strongholds in the depths of the enemy's defenses, delaying the advance, the battalion bypasses, using smoke, and decisively destroys it with blows to the flank and rear with support from the front. The experience of the war shows that only by skillful maneuver by subunits and fire, by delivering blows to the flank and rear, in cooperation with subunits of all branches of the armed forces, can decisive destruction of the enemy in strong points be achieved.

Based on the nature of the enemy's actions and the company's position in the battle formation, the battalion can be in line, at an angle forward (backward), and ledge to the right (left).

Objects captured in the depths of enemy defense lines that have importance are fixed by the units assigned for this purpose. After reaching the line, the unit digs in and prepares fire to repel a possible enemy counterattack.

The success achieved in conducting the battle in the depth of his defense must be immediately developed in order to achieve the complete defeat of the enemy.

When the enemy withdraws, the battalion commander specifies the task of the reconnaissance (combat reconnaissance) patrol, if necessary, sends out new patrols and sets tasks for the units to pursue. The commander reports to the senior commander about the transition to pursuit and informs the neighbors.

A motorized rifle (tank) battalion can go over to the offensive against the defending enemy at once with the advancement from the initial area. In this case, the formation of the battalion column should ensure its rapid deployment in pre-battle, combat formations and transition to the attack. Therefore, motorized rifle (tank) companies are advanced with reinforcements, and the tank unit attached to the motorized rifle battalion is at the head of its column. Anti-aircraft units follow dispersed along the column. The battalion commander, heading the command and observation post, advances at the head of the column. The anti-tank and grenade launcher platoon, not involved in the fire preparation of the attack, follow in front of the second echelon (reserve). The mortar and attached artillery batteries involved in the fire preparation of the attack, as well as the regiment's fire weapons, including those allocated for direct fire, advance and take up firing positions in advance according to the plan of the senior commander. On his instructions, tanks are also withdrawn (usually to the area of ​​​​the line of deployment in company columns), intended to be equipped with roller trawls.

Minefields that can be created by the enemy by means of remote mining during the advance period are overcome along the passages made by the senior commander's movement support detachment, the battalion obstacle blocking group and the company demining groups.

The advancement of the battalion is carried out in compliance with the measures of protection against high-precision weapons, radar and optical intelligence enemy.

If the enemy launches nuclear and chemical strikes or massive strikes precision weapons, subunits that have retained their combat effectiveness continue to move forward to the line of transition to the attack. The company of the first echelon, which has lost its combat capability, is replaced by the second echelon (reserve). If the enemy uses incendiary munitions, the subunits are withdrawn from the fire area, put out fires on vehicles, and continue to carry out the assigned task. With the approach of the battalion to the range of fire of the main mass of enemy artillery (from the line designated by the senior commander), fire preparation for the attack begins. During its course, guns, tanks and other fire weapons allocated for direct fire destroy enemy armored divisions in strong points and between them on the front line and in depth.

During the period of fire preparation for the attack, the battalion is successively deployed in company and platoon columns at the appropriate lines (in points). As they approach the line of transition to the attack, they deploy into battle formation and non-stop go over to the attack, firing from tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (APCs).

From the beginning of the battalion's first-echelon companies reaching the line of transition to the attack, artillery and aviation go over to fire support for the attack.

The attack on the enemy's defenses is carried out in close cooperation between tank and motorized rifle companies. Tank companies attack in a battle line, and motorized rifle companies, depending on the situation, on foot following tanks or on infantry fighting vehicles (APCs) without dismounting personnel. Subsequently, the actions of the battalion during the attack and the development of the offensive in the depth of the enemy's defense are similar to the actions of the battalion during the transition to the offensive from a position of direct contact with the enemy.

Conclusion: Modern combined-arms combat requires careful training of personnel, weapons, military equipment, and a clear organization of the interaction of tanks with artillery, motorized rifle and engineering units, and military aviation.

The offensive is one of the types of combat and is carried out in order to defeat the enemy and capture important areas (lines, objects) of the terrain. It consists in defeating the enemy with all available means, a decisive attack, the rapid advance of troops into the depths of his location, the destruction and capture of manpower, the capture of weapons, military equipment and designated areas (lines, objects) of the terrain.

Offensive is the main type of combat. Its main goal is to defeat the enemy in a short time and capture important areas or lines. This is achieved by defeating the enemy with all available means, a decisive attack, the rapid advance of units and subunits into the depths of his location, dismembering the battle formation and destroying it in parts. The offensive is carried out from a position of direct contact with the enemy (Appendix 1) or on the move.

A motorized rifle battalion usually advances at a front of up to 2 km, and in a regiment's breakthrough sector - at a front of up to 1 km.

The battalion of the first echelon is indicated the immediate task, the further task and the direction of the continuation of the offensive; company, as well as the battalion of the second echelon - the immediate task and the direction of the continuation of the offensive.

Consider what conditions exist for organizing communications in a motorized rifle battalion:

  • 1. The combat composition of the SMEs - reinforced SMEs on the BTR-80.
  • 2. Type of hostilities - offensive.
  • 3. The role and place of the battalion in the order of battle of the regiment.
  • 4. Building the battle order of the battalion.
  • 5. Adopted management system.
  • 6. The impact of the enemy on the state of communication with the help of electronic warfare.
  • 7. Availability, condition of forces and means of communication - the battalion is completed by 90%.
  • 8. Physical and geographical conditions of combat.
  • 9. Availability of time to organize and provide communication.

Consider what determines the organization and provision of communication for each of these conditions:

  • 1. The combat composition of the battalion and its possible strengthening in the battle of the SSB consists of:
    • - battalion command, headquarters;
    • - three motorized rifle companies (measures);
    • - mortar battery(minbatr);
    • - grenade launcher platoon (gv);
    • - communications platoon (s);
    • - support platoon
    • - battalion medical station.

During an offensive, a motorized rifle battalion is given:

  • - artillery battalion;
  • - tank units;
  • - division of anti-tank weapons;
  • - anti-aircraft unit;
  • - units of engineering and chemical troops.

Based on the staffing, in a battalion, up to 16 information directions can be organized to control subordinate subunits in an offensive.

Taking into account the reinforcements in the battalion, up to 20 information directions can be organized, and taking into account the information directions organized from the senior headquarters command posts, their total number can be up to 25 directions.

2. Role and place in the order of battle of the regiment:

The motorized rifle battalion of the 1st echelon, before the start of the offensive, maintains contact with the regiment's launchers by wire and signal means. With the start of the offensive, the wire lines are curtailed, and communication with the regiment's launchers is maintained by radio means. To quickly replenish the failed communications equipment, a communications reserve is created in the SMB, this ensures continuity of control during the battle in the depths of the enemy’s defense.

3. Building the battle order of the battalion:

In a reinforced small brigade, when attacking from a position of direct contact with the enemy, up to 20 information directions can be created, and taking into account the information directions organized from the control panels of the senior headquarters, their total number reaches 25.

The expenditure of forces and means of communications is compiled by the battalion chief of staff and the battalion communications chief based on the tasks assigned to the battalion.

4. Adopted control system:

In preparation for the offensive, control is carried out from the battalion's KNP via wired communications. The radio facilities operate in the "STANDBY RECEPTION" mode. With the onset of the offensive, wire lines are curtailed, restrictions on the use of radio communications are lifted, and control passes to radio facilities. When a battalion conducts a battle in the depths of the enemy’s defense, control is carried out using the radio equipment of the KShM KB and NSHB.

5. Possible impact of the enemy on the state of communication:

The enemy influences the command and control system of the SMEs with his own forces and electronic warfare equipment. To counteract this impact, the battalion command organizes:

mode of operation of all radio facilities "DP";

training of personnel of communications units to counteract electronic warfare enemy;

SUV system;

communication backup in case of failure of fixed assets.

  • 6. The presence and condition of forces and means of communication determines:
    • - the ability of communication units to perform communication tasks;
    • - possible allocation of the actual communication reserve;
    • - state (quality) of communication.
  • 7. Physical and geographical conditions of combat:
    • - choice of means of communication;
    • - ways of organizing communication by selected means;
    • - stable operation of nodes and communication lines;
    • - organization of training of personnel of communications units.
  • 8. Availability of time determines:
    • - timeliness and quality of communication planning;
    • - organization of training of personnel of communication units;
    • - timely deployment of nodes and communication lines.

In general, the conditions that determine the organization of communications in small and medium-sized units in an offensive are stringent requirements; if at least one of them is not met, there is a risk of loss of control and communications, and hence a disruption of the offensive.

opponent, sequence and
ways to defeat the defender
enemy;
breakthrough defense, saturated
anti-tank weapons;
essence of oncoming combat.

1st Question. Fire defeat
adversary on the offensive.

The essence of fire damage
enemy lies in the complex
fire impact on him by forces and
means of various types
Armed Forces, military branches and
special forces with the use of missiles
and ammunition in conventional equipment,
incendiary ammunition and mixtures.

The main goal of fire damage in
offensive combat is
to inflict such
damage resulting from
lose the ability to provide
organized resistance, and
thereby creating the necessary
conditions for successful implementation
combat missions.


Artillery preparation for the offensive
Art. offensive preparation

Fire defeat of the enemy in the offensive
Artillery support for advancing troops
Art. support
advancing troops

Fire preparation of the offensive
is carried out in order to:
inflicting a given
damage and changes in the ratio in
forces and means to the level
providing the necessary
dominance over him.
It starts (ends) at
set time and held
usually to the depth of the defense of brigades,
regiments (battalions) of the first
echelon with concentration
the main efforts in breaking through it
defense in the breakthrough area.

Fire support for advancing troops
carried out in order to retain the created
ratio (necessary superiority) in
forces and means, ensuring the specified
the pace of advance; prohibition of maneuver and
restoration of broken fire systems and
enemy control.
It begins with the end of the artillery
preparing an attack on command
division commander (brigade, regiment) and
continues until mastering the upcoming
troops defense areas in depth
brigades, regiments (battalions) of the first echelon
enemy (before tactical
tasks).

Principles of fire damage.
massing of fire efforts on the main
directions;
rapid fire maneuver;
clear and continuous fire
interaction of advancing
units and means of destruction;
ensuring survivability and reliable protection
artillery from enemy fire strikes;
sudden infliction of fire strikes;
continuity of fire impact on
enemy;
flexible fire control.

Attack of motorized rifle units
applies:
on foot;
on infantry fighting vehicles (APCs).

Attack of motorized rifle units in
on foot apply when
breakthrough prepared defense
enemy, fortified areas, and
also on a sharply intersected
hard to reach for tanks and combat
infantry vehicles (armored personnel carriers)
terrain.

Attack of motorized rifle units on
infantry fighting vehicles
(armored personnel carriers) is used when
enemy defenses are reliably suppressed with
destroying most of it
anti-tank weapons, as well as
offensive against a hastily occupied defense.
At the same time, tanks attack after the gaps
shells of their artillery, and
motorized rifle units in combat
infantry vehicles (armored personnel carriers) - in
of the battle line behind the tanks at a distance of 100200 m, firing from all their firing
funds.

Safe removal for
motorized rifle units,
attackers on foot, is considered
removal of 400 m, and on combat vehicles
infantry (armored personnel carriers) - 300 m;
for tank units - 200 m.

2nd Question. Encounter fight, it
essence and conditions of occurrence.

Encounter - a variation
offensive battle, in which both
parties seek to
assigned tasks by the offensive.
The goal of the oncoming battle is defeat
advancing enemy in short
timing, seizing the initiative and creating
favorable conditions for further
actions.

Encounter combat is characterized by:
sudden change in environment and
speed of action
rapid convergence of the parties and
their entry into battle on the move;
intense fight for the win
time, seizing and holding the initiative
and fire superiority over
adversary;
the presence in the battle formations of the parties
significant gaps and open
flanks allowing freedom of maneuver.

Success in an oncoming battle is achieved by:
conducting continuous reconnaissance
wide front and to great depths in
for timely opening
the intentions and composition of the enemy troops;
preemption of the enemy in
deployment and opening fire, occupation
advantageous terrain and crossing
fight;

inflicting a preemptive strong
strike with the main forces, together with
decisive action
marching (combat) units
security in order to dismember the combat
order of the enemy and destroy him by
parts;
holding the initiative during the battle,
reliable provision of flanks and
rear;
firm and continuous management and
maintaining interaction between
parts (divisions).

Meeting battle of a battalion (company) includes
sequential execution of a series
tactical tasks:
deployment of elements of battle order
battalion (company);
fire defeat of the enemy;
conducting a battle in a fettering direction;
defeat of cover units
(protection) of the enemy;
building up efforts by entering combat
combined arms reserve;
defeat of the opposing enemy

efforts.

The battalion is fighting:
on one's own,
acting in the forward detachment (vanguard),
as part of the main forces of the brigade (regiment)
on the binding direction or on
direction of the main attack.
The company usually conducts a meeting battle in
part of the battalion, acting on
restrictive direction or
direction of concentration of the main
efforts.

In a meeting battle with a battalion (company)
indicate the next task and
direction of advance.
The next task of the battalion,
acting in the vanguard
(vanguard) or on the chaining
direction is:
capturing and holding an advantageous line,

conditions for maneuver

flank and rear of the enemy;
inflicting defeat on the advancing
enemy by fire of all means and
preventing his strike to the flank and rear
connections (parts).
The avant-garde, in addition, is tasked
to defeat intelligence units,
cover (protection) of the enemy. FROM
transition to the attack of the main forces
the battalion is given a new task.

The immediate task of the company operating in
head (side) marching outpost
or in the binding direction
battalion is:
in the defeat of intelligence units and
covering (guarding) the enemy on
your direction,
seizing an advantageous frontier,
providing the main forces
conditions for maneuver, deployment and
striking in the flank and rear
enemy.

The immediate task of the battalion (company),
acting as part of the main forces on
direction of the brigade's main attack
(shelf) (direction of concentration
the main effort of the battalion), can
consist in defeat on one's own
direction of the units of the first
echelon and mastering the border,
providing favorable conditions for
destruction of suitable reserves and
offensive development.

Direction of further advance
battalion (company) is determined with such
calculation to ensure
defeat of suitable reserves
enemy and the execution of the nearest
tasks of the brigade (regiment, battalion).

The battle order of the battalion in the opposite direction
combat is built on the basis of combat
(pre-battle, marching) order,
created for execution earlier
task, usually in one
echelon with emphasis on strong
combined arms reserve.

Fire defeat in an oncoming battle
usually carried out in two
periods:
on the binding direction -
fire preparation of reflection
offensive and fire support
defending troops;
in the direction of the main blow -
fire preparation of the offensive and
fire support for advancing troops.

When organizing the defense, the commander
battalion (company) should provide
the possibility of an opposite
combat during counterattacks and
destruction of enemy landings;
when organizing an offensive -
when repelling enemy counterattacks,
colliding with its retractable
reserves;
when organizing a march - when threatened
clashes with the enemy.
