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 offensive 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 stability and activity.

Under the resilience of defense one should understand its ability to withstand enemy strikes with all means of destruction, the attack of large masses of enemy tanks and infantry, to prevent the landing and operations of airborne assault forces and airmobile troops, to hold important areas of the terrain and to destroy the wedged grouping of enemy troops.

Defense Sustainability achieved fulfillment of a number of requirements that ensure the achievement of the goals and objectives of defense.

1. Defense must be anti-nuclear, i.e. capable of withstanding the effects of damaging factors of nuclear weapons.

2. The defense should be less vulnerable to the impact of the enemy's WTO, for which it is necessary to carry out a set of measures for camouflage, dispersal of combat formations of troops, engineering equipment, anti-radar and anti-thermal protection. Importance has active electronic suppression of systems and controls of the enemy's WTO.

3. The defense must be anti-tank, capable of repelling massive tank attacks and armored vehicles.

4. The defense must be stable in terms of air defense, i.e. capable of repelling tactical and army aviation enemy.

5. The defense must be antiamphibious, i.e. capable of preventing the landing and actions of airborne assault forces, sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

The stability of the defense is also ensured by the skillful construction of areas, sections and defense zones.

Defense activity is in the constant defeat of the enemy by all types of fire, in creating unfavorable conditions for him to conduct combat, in carrying out a wide maneuver with forces and means, fire and strikes, as well as in conducting counterattacks.

Defense activity achieved :

1. Careful organization of nuclear and fire engagement of the enemy and skillful implementation of it in combat.

2. Timely maneuver of forces and means, fire and obstacles in the threatened direction.

3. Electronic suppression of control systems for troops, weapons and enemy aircraft.

Maneuver by forces and means consists in 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 fulfilling a combat mission.

Maneuver by forces and means in defense can be carried out along the front, from the rear to the front, from the front to the rear by units and subunits of all combat arms.

In defense, there are the following forms of maneuver :

a) maneuver by forces and means from non-attacked sectors to a threatened direction; in order to prevent an enemy breakthrough in the direction of his main attack, to eliminate the threat of the enemy bypassing or enveloping an open flank or a junction with neighbors.

b) maneuver by the second echelon (reserve) to occupy the prepared firing line; in order to close gaps in the defense as a result of massive air strikes and air defense of the enemy, to repel a sudden breakthrough of the enemy;

c) strike and fire maneuver consists in the rapid concentration of strikes and fire on the most important groupings of enemy forces;

d) anti-tank maneuver by units anti-tank artillery and ATGMs, combat helicopters, ATGMs and POZs to deployment lines in threatened areas in order to prevent enemy tanks from breaking through.

e) an antiamphibious maneuver by an antiamphibious reserve or part of the forces of the second echelon (reserve), combat helicopters in order to destroy the enemy landing force.


2. Types of defense and their characteristics. Conditions for transition to defense.

Motorized rifle division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) prepare defense in advance or go on the defensive in the course of hostilities.

With an advance transition to defense, a division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) can occupy the defense simultaneously in full force or sequentially: first, units (subunits) allocated to cover and carry combat duty, in the future - MFA, units (subdivisions) intended for defense in the most important areas, in the future - the rest of the troops. Last of all, they occupy the areas where the logistic and technical support units are located.

During the transition to defense in the course of hostilities - the occupation of defense, the creation of a battle order, a system of fire and engineering barriers is carried out within a time period after securing the captured line.

Defense can applied intentionally or forced. A deliberate transition to the defensive is most typical of the initial period of warfare. A forced transition to the defensive is, as a rule, a consequence of an unfavorable situation when repelling an offensive by superior enemy forces, an unsuccessful outcome of a meeting engagement, and an insufficient number of forces and means to conduct an offensive.

Division (motorized rifle brigade, motorized rifle regiment) cross over to the defense out of contact with the enemy or in conditions of direct contact with him.

Defense is prepared for a long time or in a short time.

Depending on the combat mission, the availability of forces and means, 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 a strong and long-term retention of borders, lanes and sections, as well as important objects.

Maneuverable defense It is used in areas where there is a significant superiority of the enemy and a temporary abandonment of the territory is possible. It consists in the consistent conduct of defensive battles to hold lines echeloned in depth, combined with short counterattacks.

In mobile defense are accepted two types of troops .

First way- in the first echelon, limited forces by consistent defense force the enemy to advance in a direction that is unfavorable for him; the second echelon - the main forces are intended for counterattacks.

Second way- in the first echelon, the main forces are deployed, successively holding several lines echeloned in depth and inflicting defeat on 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 sudden counterattacks by second echelons (reserves), wide application engineering barriers.

On the present stage a division providing air defense can be both a structural unit as part of regiments / brigades / divisions ground forces (Military air defense ), and a structural unit as part of the Air Defense Forces carrying tasks for air defense objects ( Object air defense ).

Anti-aircraft artillery battalion

Formation Military air defense .
anti-aircraft artillery battalion (zenadn) - formation in the composition (zap) or a separate formation ozenadn as part of motorized rifle/tank/airborne divisions. In some infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht and in all divisions of the SS zenadn was part of artillery regiment. In the rifle divisions of the Red Army, he was a separate formation as part of the division ( ozenadn ).
In connection with the transition in the 60-70s to more effective missile weapons at the present stage anti-aircraft artillery regiments and zenadn those armed exclusively with anti-aircraft artillery guns - no. In the USSR Armed Forces, by the end of the 80s, the last anti-aircraft artillery regiment armed with the S-60 gun was the 990th anti-aircraft artillery regiment (990th zap) of the 201st motorized rifle division during the Afghan war. Anti-aircraft batteries of the 990th zap carried the combat guard of the Kunduz airport.

  • Note: In the historical period before the advent of rocket weapons zenadn also performed the functions Object air defense . During the Great Patriotic War zenadn as part of zap united in anti-aircraft artillery divisions (zenad) performed the tasks of air defense of important objects and large cities of the USSR. For example, the 251st zap, reorganized into the 53rd zenad, defending Moscow, had a personnel of 1800 people and was subdivided into four zenadn with a total anti-aircraft artillery batteries (zenbatr ) to 25 units.

Anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion

Formation Military air defense .
anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion (zradn) - the formation of motorized rifle / tank regiments / brigades, which forms the basis of the air defense of the regiment / brigade. Consists of two or three (zrab ) with mixed weapons or from anti-aircraft missile battery (zrb ) and anti-aircraft artillery battery (zenbatr ).
For example happy motorized rifle regiment in the USSR Armed Forces in the fall of 1986 had the following composition:

  • headquarters
  • management department
  • anti-aircraft missile and artillery battery (zrab) on ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" and MANPADS Strela-2
  • anti-aircraft missile battery (zrb) SAM Strela-10
  • support platoon (in) composed of:
    • Department of procedural and adjustment works (ORNR)
    • department Maintenance(from)
    • automobile branch (AO)
    • economic department (hoz.otd)

The personnel of the division - 117-126 people.
In the armies of NATO happy may enter a separate division into the division. For example anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion US "heavy" divisions had the following structure:

  • headquarters
  • headquarters battery
  • three anti-aircraft missile and artillery batteries on ZSU Vulkan and MANPADS Stinger
  • anti-aircraft missile battery on the MIM-72 Cheparel air defense system
  • anti-aircraft missile battery on MANPADS Stinger

The personnel of the division - 860 people.
Comparing numbers happy in the US division and regimental happy in the USSR, it should be noted that the analogue of the anti-aircraft division in the US division in divisions Soviet army was an anti-aircraft missile regiment, and there were no anti-aircraft missiles in the line brigades of the US division artillery units. The total number of air defense systems and the number of air defense units in the divisions of the United States and the USSR was comparable.

Anti-aircraft missile division

In military air defense

military subordination.
For example zrdn as part of zrr army subordination of the USSR Armed Forces in the 60s had the following structure:

  • headquarters
  • control platoon (woo)
  • three anti-aircraft missile batteries (zrb) , each for three launchers SAM 2K11 "Circle"
  • technical battery (technical battery)

AT zrr army subordination included 3-4 zrdn and control and radar reconnaissance battery (buirr) .

  • Note: AT anti-aircraft missile regiments (zrp) motorized rifle/tank division USSR Armed Forces - there was no division into divisions. Such zrp were armed with air defense systems of the 2K12 "Cube" or 9K33 "Osa" type and consisted of headquarters, five anti-aircraft batteries (zrb), technical battery (technical battery) and auxiliary units of combat and logistic support.

In the object air defense

anti-aircraft missile division (zrdn) - structural formation in anti-aircraft missile regiments / brigades district or group subordination.
For example zrdn The US Army armed with the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system has the following composition:

  • headquarters
  • headquarters battery
  • AN/MRC-136 division command post
  • six anti-aircraft missile batteries , each for eight launchers of the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system

In the Armed Forces of the USSR / RF scheme zrdn armed S-200 air defense system has the following form:

  • headquarters
  • division command post
  • radio technical battery (rtb)
  • starting battery (sbatr) on the six launchers (PU) ZRK S-200
  • Subdivisions of provision and maintenance, consisting of:
    • automobile platoon
    • post office
    • topographical department
    • department of logistics

rtb is a combat support unit that performs electronic reconnaissance.

Technical division

Formation Object air defense .
technical division (tdn) - structural formation in anti-aircraft missile regiments / brigades district or group subordination of the Armed Forces of the USSR / RF. Performs maintenance tasks, loading launchers, repairs and routine maintenance missile weapons and radar. Unlike other military branches, technical division does not consist of batteries, but of platoons and squads.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the Air Defense Division

Andrey was silent: it was both pleasant and unpleasant for him that his father understood him. The old man got up and handed the letter to his son.
“Listen,” he said, “do not worry about your wife: what can be done will be done.” Now listen: give the letter to Mikhail Ilarionovich. I am writing to get you good places I used it and did not hold it for a long time as an adjutant: a bad position! Tell him that I remember him and love him. Yes, write how he will accept you. If it's good, serve. Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky's son, out of mercy, will not serve anyone. Well, now come here.
He spoke in such a rapid way that he did not finish half of the words, but the son was used to understanding him. He led his son to the bureau, threw back the lid, pulled out a drawer, and took out a notebook covered in his large, long, concise handwriting.
“I must die before you.” Know that here are my notes, to transfer them to the sovereign after my death. Now here - here is a pawn ticket and a letter: this is a prize to the one who writes the history of the Suvorov wars. Submit to the academy. Here are my remarks, after me read for yourself, you will find something useful.
Andrei did not tell his father that he would probably live for a long time. He knew he didn't need to say that.
“I will do everything, father,” he said.
- Well, now goodbye! He let his son kiss his hand and hugged him. “Remember one thing, Prince Andrei: if they kill you, it will hurt the old man ...” He suddenly fell silent and suddenly continued in a loud voice: “and if I find out that you did not behave like the son of Nikolai Bolkonsky, I will be ... ashamed! he screeched.
“You could not tell me that, father,” said the son, smiling.
The old man was silent.
“I also wanted to ask you,” continued Prince Andrei, “if they kill me and if I have a son, do not let him go away from you, as I told you yesterday, so that he grows up with you ... please.
- Don't give it to your wife? the old man said and laughed.
They stood silently facing each other. The old man's quick eyes were fixed directly on his son's eyes. Something quivered in the lower part of the old prince's face.
- Goodbye ... go! he suddenly said. - Get up! he shouted in an angry and loud voice, opening the office door.
– What is, what? - asked the princess and princess, seeing Prince Andrei and for a moment the figure of an old man in a white coat, without a wig and in old man's glasses, leaning out screaming in an angry voice.
Prince Andrei sighed and did not answer.
“Well,” he said, turning to his wife.
And this “well” sounded like a cold mockery, as if he was saying: “now you do your tricks.”
Andre, deja! [Andrey, already!] - said the little princess, turning pale and looking at her husband with fear.
He hugged her. She screamed and fell unconscious on his shoulder.
He gently drew back the shoulder on which she was lying, looked into her face, and carefully seated her in a chair.
- Adieu, Marieie, [Farewell, Masha,] - he said quietly to his sister, kissed her hand in hand and quickly left the room.
The princess was lying in an armchair, m lle Bourienne was rubbing her temples. Princess Mary, supporting her daughter-in-law, with tearful beautiful eyes, was still looking at the door through which Prince Andrei went out, and baptized him. From the study were heard, like shots, the often repeated angry sounds of the old man blowing his nose. As soon as Prince Andrei left, the door of the office quickly opened and a stern figure of an old man in a white coat looked out.
- Left? Well, good! he said, looking angrily at the insensible little princess, shook his head reproachfully and slammed the door.

In October 1805, Russian troops occupied the villages and cities of the Archduchy of Austria, and more new regiments came from Russia and, weighing down the inhabitants with billeting, were located near the Braunau fortress. In Braunau was the main apartment of the commander-in-chief Kutuzov.
On October 11, 1805, one of the infantry regiments that had just arrived at Braunau, waiting for the review of the commander-in-chief, stood half a mile from the city. Despite the non-Russian terrain and situation (orchards, stone fences, tiled roofs, mountains visible in the distance), the non-Russian people, who looked at the soldiers with curiosity, the regiment had exactly the same appearance as any Russian regiment preparing for a show somewhere in the middle of Russia.
In the evening, on the last march, an order was received that the commander-in-chief would watch the regiment on the march. Although the words of the order seemed unclear to the regimental commander, and the question arose of how to understand the words of the order: in marching uniform or not? in the council of battalion commanders, it was decided to present the regiment in full dress on the grounds that it is always better to exchange bows than not to bow. And the soldiers, after a thirty-verst march, did not close their eyes, they repaired and cleaned themselves all night; adjutants and company officers counted, expelled; and by morning the regiment, instead of the sprawling disorderly crowd that it had been the day before on the last march, represented a slender mass of 2,000 people, each of whom knew his place, his business, and of whom each button and strap was in its place and shone with cleanliness. . Not only the outside was in good order, but if the commander-in-chief had been pleased to look under the uniforms, then on each he would have seen an equally clean shirt and in each knapsack he would have found a legal number of things, “an awl and a soap,” as the soldiers say. There was only one circumstance about which no one could be calm. It was shoes. More than half of the people had their boots broken. But this shortcoming did not come from the fault of the regimental commander, since, despite repeated demands, the goods from the Austrian department were not released to him, and the regiment traveled a thousand miles.
The regimental commander was an elderly, sanguine general with graying eyebrows and sideburns, thick and broad more from chest to back than from one shoulder to the other. He was wearing a new, brand-new, creased uniform and thick golden epaulettes, which seemed to raise his stout shoulders rather than downwards. The regimental commander looked like a man happily doing one of the most solemn deeds of life. He paced in front of the front and, as he walked, trembled at every step, slightly arching his back. It was evident that the regimental commander was admiring his regiment, happy with them, that all his mental strength was occupied only by the regiment; but, in spite of this, his trembling gait seemed to say that, in addition to military interests, the interests of social life and the female gender also occupy a considerable place in his soul.
“Well, father Mikhailo Mitrich,” he turned to one battalion commander (the battalion commander leaned forward smiling; it was clear that they were happy), “I got nuts this night. However, it seems, nothing, the regiment is not bad ... Eh?
The battalion commander understood the humorous irony and laughed.
- And in the Tsaritsyn Meadow they would not have driven out of the field.
- What? the commander said.
At this time, on the road from the city, along which the machinations were placed, two horsemen appeared. They were the adjutant and a Cossack riding behind.
The adjutant was sent from the main headquarters to confirm to the regimental commander what was not clear in yesterday's order, namely, that the commander-in-chief wanted to see the regiment in exactly the position in which he walked - in overcoats, in covers and without any preparations.

(motorized rifle troops). Like a battalion, a division is the smallest unit that has a headquarters.

At the present stage, a division providing air defense can be either a structural unit as part of regiments / brigades / divisions of the ground forces ( Military air defense ), and by a structural unit within the Air Defense Forces carrying out tasks for air defense of objects ( Object air defense ).

Anti-aircraft artillery battalion

Formation Military air defense .
anti-aircraft artillery battalion (zenadn) - formation in the composition (zap) or a separate formation ozenadn as part of motorized rifle/tank/airborne divisions. In some infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht and in all divisions of the SS zenadn was part of artillery regiment. In the rifle divisions of the Red Army, he was a separate formation as part of the division ( ozenadn ).
In connection with the transition in the 60-70s to more effective missile weapons at the present stage anti-aircraft artillery regiments and zenadn those armed exclusively with anti-aircraft artillery guns - no. In the USSR Armed Forces, by the end of the 80s, the last anti-aircraft artillery regiment armed with the S-60 gun was the 990th anti-aircraft artillery regiment (990th zap) of the 201st motorized rifle division during the Afghan war. Anti-aircraft batteries of the 990th zap carried the combat guard of the Kunduz airport.

  • Note: In the historical period before the advent of rocket weapons zenadn also performed the functions Object air defense . During the Great Patriotic War zenadn as part of zap united in anti-aircraft artillery divisions (zenad) performed the tasks of air defense of important objects and large cities of the USSR. For example, the 251st zap, reorganized into the 53rd zenad, defending Moscow, had a personnel of 1800 people and was subdivided into four zenadn with a total anti-aircraft artillery batteries (zenbatr ) to 25 units.

Anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion

Formation Military air defense .
anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion (zradn) - the formation of motorized rifle / tank regiments / brigades, which forms the basis of the air defense of the regiment / brigade. Consists of two or three (zrab ) with mixed weapons or from anti-aircraft missile battery (zrb ) and anti-aircraft artillery battery (zenbatr ).
For example happy motorized rifle regiment in the USSR Armed Forces in the fall of 1986 had the following composition:

  • headquarters
  • management department
  • anti-aircraft missile and artillery battery (zrab) on ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" and MANPADS Strela-2
  • anti-aircraft missile battery (zrb) SAM Strela-10
  • support platoon (in) composed of:
    • Department of procedural and adjustment works (ORNR)
    • maintenance department (oto)
    • automobile branch (AO)
    • economic department (hoz.otd)

The personnel of the division - 117-126 people.
In the armies of NATO happy may be a separate unit within a division. For example anti-aircraft missile and artillery battalion US "heavy" divisions had the following structure:

  • headquarters
  • headquarters battery
  • three anti-aircraft missile and artillery batteries on ZSU Vulkan and MANPADS Stinger
  • anti-aircraft missile battery on the MIM-72 Cheparel air defense system
  • anti-aircraft missile battery on MANPADS Stinger

The personnel of the division - 860 people.
Comparing numbers happy in the US division and regimental happy in the USSR, it should be noted that the analogue of the anti-aircraft division in the US division in the divisions of the Soviet Army was an anti-aircraft missile regiment, and there were no anti-aircraft artillery units in the line brigades of the US division. The total number of air defense systems and the number of air defense units in the divisions of the United States and the USSR was comparable.

Anti-aircraft missile division

In military air defense

military subordination.
For example zrdn as part of zrr army subordination of the USSR Armed Forces in the 60s had the following structure:

  • headquarters
  • control platoon (woo)
  • three anti-aircraft missile batteries (zrb) , each for three launchers of the 2K11 Krug air defense system
  • technical battery (technical battery)

AT zrr army subordination included 3-4 zrdn and control and radar reconnaissance battery (buirr) .

  • Note: AT anti-aircraft missile regiments (zrp) motorized rifle/tank division USSR Armed Forces - there was no division into divisions. Such zrp were armed with air defense systems of the 2K12 "Cube" or 9K33 "Osa" type and consisted of headquarters, five anti-aircraft batteries (zrb), technical battery (technical battery) and auxiliary units of combat and logistic support.

In the object air defense

anti-aircraft missile division (zrdn) - structural formation in anti-aircraft missile regiments / brigades district or group subordination.
For example zrdn The US Army armed with the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system has the following composition:

  • headquarters
  • headquarters battery
  • AN/MRC-136 division command post
  • six anti-aircraft missile batteries , each for eight launchers of the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system

In the Armed Forces of the USSR / RF scheme zrdn armed S-200 air defense system has the following form:

  • headquarters
  • division command post
  • radio technical battery (rtb)
  • starting battery (sbatr) on the six launchers (PU) ZRK S-200
  • Subdivisions of provision and maintenance, consisting of:
    • automobile platoon
    • post office
    • topographical department
    • department of logistics

rtb is a combat support unit that performs electronic reconnaissance.

Technical division

Formation Object air defense .
technical division (tdn) - structural formation in anti-aircraft missile regiments / brigades district or group subordination of the Armed Forces of the USSR / RF. Performs tasks for technical support, loading of launchers, repair and routine maintenance of missile weapons and radars. Unlike other military branches, technical division does not consist of batteries, but of platoons and squads.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the Air Defense Division

But he could not answer her, much less offer something. He was simply dead, and, unfortunately, he did not know anything about what happens “after”, just like all the other people who lived in that “dark” time, when everyone and everyone was literally driven in with the hardest “hammer of lies” into the head that "after" there is nothing more and that human life ends at this mournful and terrible moment of physical death...
- Dad, mom, where are we going now? the girl asked cheerfully. It seemed that now, when everyone was assembled, she was completely happy again and was ready to continue her life even in such an unfamiliar existence for her.
- Oh, mommy, and my pen went through the bench !!! But how can I sit down now? .. - the little girl was surprised.
But mother didn’t have time to answer, when suddenly, right above them, the air sparkled with all the colors of the rainbow and began to thicken, turning into an amazingly beautiful blue channel, very similar to the one I saw during my unsuccessful “bathing” in our river. The channel sparkled and shimmered with thousands of stars, and more and more densely enveloped the dumbfounded family.
“I don’t know who you are, girl, but you know something about this,” my mother suddenly turned to me. “Tell me, should we go there?”
"I'm afraid so," I answered as calmly as possible. - It's your new world in which you will live. And he is very handsome. You will like it.
I was a little sad that they were leaving so soon, but I understood that it would be better this way, and that they would not even have time to truly regret what they had lost, since they would immediately have to accept their new world and their new life ...
- Oh, mom, mom, how beautiful! Almost like New Year!.. Vidas, Vidas, is it really beautiful?! the little girl murmured happily. - Well, let's go, let's go, what are you waiting for!
Mom smiled sadly at me and said affectionately:
- Farewell, girl. Whoever you are - happiness to you in this world ...
And, hugging her babies, she turned to the luminous channel. All of them, except for little Katya, were very sad and obviously very worried. They had to leave everything that was so familiar and so well known, and "go" no one knows where. And, unfortunately, they had no choice in this situation ...
Suddenly, in the middle of the luminous channel, a luminous female figure condensed and began to gradually approach the stunned family, huddled together.
- Alice? .. - the mother said uncertainly, peering intently at the new guest.
The entity, smiling, extended its arms to the woman, as if inviting her into her arms.
Alice, is that really you?!
“So we met, dear,” said the luminous being. – Are you really all of them?.. Oh, what a pity!.. It’s too early for them yet... What a pity...
“Mommy, mom, who is this?” the dumbfounded little girl asked in a whisper. - How beautiful she is! .. Who is this, mother?
"That's your aunt, dear," her mother answered kindly.
- Uncle?! Oh, how good - a new aunt !!! And who is she? – the curious little girl did not let up.
She is my sister, Alice. You never saw her. She went to this "other" world when you weren't there yet.
“Well, then it was a very long time ago,” little Katya confidently stated the “indisputable fact” ...
The luminous "aunt" smiled sadly, observing her cheerful and unsuspecting little niece in this new life situation. And that one was merrily jumping up and down on one leg, trying out her unusual “new body” and, being completely satisfied with it, stared inquiringly at the adults, waiting for them to finally go to that unusual luminous “new world” of theirs ... She seemed completely happy again, since her whole family was here, which meant that “everything is fine” with them and there was nothing more to worry about ... Her tiny children's world was again habitually protected by the people she loved and she no longer had to to think about what happened to them today and just waited for what would happen next.
Alice looked at me very carefully and said affectionately:
- And it's still early for you, girl, you still have a long way to go ...
The luminous blue channel was still sparkling and shimmering, but it suddenly seemed to me that the glow had become weaker, and as if answering my thought, the “aunt” said:
“It’s time for us, my dears. You don't need this world anymore...
She took them all into her arms (which I was surprised for a moment, as she seemed to suddenly become larger) and the luminous channel disappeared along with the sweet girl Katya and her whole wonderful family ... It became empty and sad, as if I had lost again someone close, as happened almost always after a new meeting with the "leaving" ...
"Girl, are you all right?" I heard someone's worried voice.
Someone bothered me, trying to "return" to a normal state, since I apparently again "entered" too deeply into that other world, far away for the rest, and scared some good man his "frozen-abnormal" calmness.
The evening was just as wonderful and warm, and everything around remained exactly the same as it was just an hour ago ... only I didn’t want to walk anymore.
Someone's fragile good lives having just broken off so easily, they flew off into another world like a white cloud, and I suddenly felt very sad, as if a drop of my lonely soul had flown away with them ... I really wanted to believe that the dear girl Katya would find at least some happiness in anticipation of her return "home" ... And it was sincerely sorry for all those who did not have visiting "aunts" in order to at least slightly alleviate their fear, and who rushed about in horror, leaving in that arc, unfamiliar and frightening world, not even imagining that their there waiting, and not believing that this is still going on their "precious and only" LIFE ...

The days flew by unnoticed. Weeks passed. Gradually, I began to get used to my unusual everyday visitors ... After all, everything, even the most extraordinary events that we perceive at the beginning almost as a miracle, become commonplace if they are repeated regularly. This is how my wonderful “guests”, who at the beginning amazed me so much, became almost a common occurrence for me, in which I honestly invested a part of my heart and was ready to give much more, if only it could help someone . But it was impossible to absorb all that endless human pain without choking on it and without destroying itself. Therefore, I became much more careful and tried to help without opening all the “gateways” of my raging emotions, but tried to remain as calm as possible and, to my greatest surprise, very soon noticed that in this way I can help much more and more effectively. , while not getting tired at all and spending much less of their vitality on all this.
It would seem that my heart should have “closed” long ago, having plunged into such a “waterfall” of human sadness and longing, but apparently the joy for finally finding the much-desired peace of those who managed to help far exceeded any sadness, and I wanted to do it is endless, as far as my, unfortunately, still childish, strength was enough then.

artillery battalion korsa, artillery battalion ufa
Artillery division- a structural formation of artillery as part of a regiment / brigade (subdivision) or a separate military unit (with an adjective in the actual name of the formation - separate).

Reduction - adn.

Approximately corresponds to a battalion in motorized rifle (motorized infantry) and other troops (special forces). Like a battalion, a division is smallest formation, which has a headquarters.

Regardless of belonging to the armed forces of a particular state, an artillery battalion consists of a battalion headquarters, fire batteries, and auxiliary combat and logistics support units. Fire batteries are called batteries armed with guns. artillery armed forces different states, auxiliary formations can be called batteries in different versions - a control battery, an artillery reconnaissance battery, a headquarters battery, an auxiliary battery, a service battery, and so on.

Regimental artillery

Artillery battalion - a unit within a motorized rifle/tank/paratrooper/naval infantry regiment/brigade.

For example, the organizational and staffing structure of a motorized rifle regiment adn in the USSR Armed Forces in the mid-1980s looked like this:

  • division headquarters and separate platoons with it:
    • command platoon of the chief of artillery of the regiment (voon),
    • division control platoon (wood),
    • support platoon (in),
    • divisional medical center (DMP);
  • self-propelled artillery battery (sabatr) which included:
    • control platoon (woo),
    • two firing platoon(s) of three 2S1 units each;
  • two howitzer artillery batteries (gabatr) each of which included:
    • control platoon (woo),
    • two firing platoon(s) of three 122mm D-30 howitzers each,
    • traction department (drivers department) (from / s).

The control platoon of the chief of artillery of the regiment (vuna) is a formation that provides communication with artillery units in the battalions. Formally, in the organizational order, the wuna is listed at the headquarters of the regiment / brigade, in fact, it is part of the division. The division control platoon (wood) performs the function of providing communications and reconnaissance for firing batteries. A control platoon (VU) in a fire battery is designed to conduct reconnaissance (by the forces of the reconnaissance squad consisting of the squad leader, rangefinder and driver) and to provide communications (by the forces of the communications squad from the squad leader, three to four radiotelephonists and a driver). Wu may include a calculator with the rank of corporal. The thrust separation (from) performs the task of towing the guns.
The adn regimental artillery could be armed with from one to three types of guns.
The structure of an 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 combat and logistics support platoons at the headquarters of the battalion into formations called the headquarters battery and the service battery. In the US Army Artillery Battalion, these units are divided into a headquarters battery and a maintenance battery. artillery battalion of the motorized infantry brigade of the FRG, the auxiliary units were consolidated into one formation referred to as the headquarters and supply battery.

Divisional artillery

Main article Divisional artillery.
At the divisional artillery level, there are several types of artillery battalions:

artillery battalion (adn) - a structural formation as part of an artillery regiment / brigade of a motorized rifle / tank division. unlike the division of regimental artillery, in which there can be 2-3 types of guns in service, in a single division of an artillery regiment there is only one type of gun. For example, the organizational and staffing structure of the artillery regiment moto rifle division in the USSR Armed Forces in the mid-1980s had the following form:

  • regimental headquarters
  • self-propelled artillery battalion (sadn) on 18 2S3
  • two howitzer artillery battalions (gadn) each for 18 D-30
  • rocket artillery battalion (readn) for 18 BM-21
  • Combat and Logistic Support Units.

In addition to the uniformity of weapons, the rest of the organizational and staffing structure of the adn of the artillery regiment fully corresponded to the adn of the motorized rifle / tank / parachute regiment.
It should be noted that in the US Army there is no such formation as an artillery regiment / brigade as part of divisions. Divisional artillery in it is represented by the headquarters of artillery and the headquarters company under it, headed by the chief of artillery of the division, under whose control are several artillery battalions. The composition of the artillery battalion, unlike the Soviet counterpart, has auxiliary units for combat and logistics support combined into two batteries.
For example, the composition of the artillery division 155 mm self-propelled howitzers heavy mechanized infantry division of the United States has the following form:

  • division headquarters
  • headquarters battery as follows:
    • control platoon
    • communications platoon
  • maintenance battery as follows:
    • control platoon
    • support platoon
    • ammunition platoon
    • maintenance platoon
  • 3 howitzer batteries, 8 M109 self-propelled howitzers.

The number of personnel of the artillery battalion of 155 mm self-propelled howitzers is 687 people.

  • Note: divisional artillery formations of the armed forces of some states at the present stage, there is no division into divisions. For example, an artillery regiment of a French infantry division consists of five batteries: a command and control battery and a 4th firing battery. The regiment is armed with 24 155-mm self-propelled guns, eight 20-mm anti-aircraft artillery guns, 18 armored personnel carriers and 260 vehicles and a personnel of 850 people.

Separate artillery battalion

separate artillery battalion (OADN)- a separate formation as part of a division. armed forces of some states, in addition to the artillery regiment / brigade, the division also included / is included oadn. For example, in the period up to 1983, in addition to the artillery regiment, the Soviet airborne divisions also included separate self-propelled artillery battalion (siege) on ASU-85 and separate rocket artillery battalion (oreadn) on BM-21V.

Separate missile battalion

separate missile division (ordn)- a separate formation as part of 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) of army subordination.
They were formed in the mid-60s and initially were armed with 9K52 Luna-M complexes, which were later re-equipped with 9K79 Tochka.
staff structure order:

  • division headquarters
    • support platoons
    • 2 launch batteries (sbatr) for 2 self-propelled launchers (slu).

Personnel - about 120 people.

Separate anti-tank artillery battalion

separate anti-tank artillery battalion (optadn)- a separate formation as part of motorized rifle divisions (MSD) of the USSR Armed Forces.

During the Second World War, as part of the rifle division of the Red Army, a similar formation was referred to as separate anti-tank fighter battalion (optdn), and in the infantry division of the Wehrmacht - anti-tank battalion. SS divisions a similar formation was tank destroyer battalion/tank destroyer battalion, which was armed with Panzerjäger I self-propelled artillery mounts.
Separate anti-tank artillery battalion msd The USSR Armed Forces by the end of the 80s consisted of:

  • division headquarters
    • division control platoon (wood)
    • support platoon (in)
    • divisional medical center (dmp)
    • repair platoon (rem.vzv)
    • departments of radiation and chemical reconnaissance (ORHR)
    • economic department (hoz.otd)
  • 2nd anti-tank artillery batteries (ptabatr), each for 6 MT-12 guns (MT-LB tractor)
  • anti-tank battery (bptur) for six 9P149 based on MT-LB

Reconnaissance Artillery Battalion

reconnaissance artillery battalion (radn)- structural formation as part of an artillery brigade or as part of an artillery regiment of a division or a separate formation (oradn) as part of the corps / army (which already applies to corps or army artillery). For example oradn part of the artillery regiment of the motorized infantry division of Germany.
task (rad)/(rad) is the conduct of artillery reconnaissance and topographic support for the artillery units of the formation / association. For example, the 836th separate reconnaissance artillery division of the Red Army during the Great Patriotic War carried out artillery reconnaissance for the 14th Army.
In the complex of artillery reconnaissance performed (rad)/(rad) includes meteorological reconnaissance, sound (counter-battery) reconnaissance, radar reconnaissance, and aerial photography.
