BASICS OF TACTICAL ACTIONS
1. General Provisions.
001. tactical actions - organized actions of subunits, units and formations in the performance of assigned tasks; a set of different types, forms and methods of action.

The types of tactical actions are: defense, offensive, meeting engagement, location on the spot, movement, march, exit from the battle (encirclement), withdrawal, action in tactical airborne assault, reconnaissance, and others.

002. The main forms of tactical actions are strike, maneuver and combat.

Hit- simultaneous and short-term destruction of enemy troops and objects by powerful impact on them with all available means of destruction. Strikes can be: depending on the weapons used and the forces involved - nuclear, fire and troop strikes; by means of delivery - rocket, artillery and aviation; according to the number of participating means and objects hit - massive, group and single.

Maneuver - organized movement of units (fire weapons, military personnel) in the performance of assigned tasks in order to occupy an advantageous position for firing and attacking the enemy in his most vulnerable place, especially to the flank and rear, as well as withdrawing units (fire weapons) from under attack ( fire) of the enemy. It is carried out by units and fire.

The types of maneuver by units are: coverage, bypass and change of areas (strongholds, positions), and fire means - change of firing positions.

Coverage - a maneuver carried out by subunits in the course of tactical operations to attack the enemy in the flank.

Bypass - a deeper maneuver performed by units to attack the enemy from the rear.

Coverage is usually carried out in close tactical and fire cooperation, and bypassing is carried out in tactical cooperation with units operating from the front, and sometimes with tactical airborne assault operations.

Change of location area (strong point, position) - organized movement of subunits to a reserve or other area (stronghold, position) to improve the tactical situation, misleading the enemy about their true position, as well as withdrawal from under the blows of the enemy. It is carried out with the permission of the senior commander.

Change of firing positionscarried out by infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, tanks, machine guns, grenade launchers, anti-tank missile systems) to increase the survivability of fire weapons by reducing the effectiveness of enemy fire and misleading him about their true location. It is carried out by the decision of the commander to whom they are subordinate.

Fire maneuver is used to more effectively defeat the enemy. It lies in the concentration fire platoon (squad) on one important target, timely transfer of fire from one target to another and firing by a platoon simultaneously on several targets.

The maneuver must be simple in concept, carried out quickly, covertly and suddenly for the enemy. For its implementation, the results of enemy fire damage (fire), open flanks, gaps, terrain folds, hidden approaches, aerosols (smoke) are used, in defense, in addition, trenches and communication passages, and for fire weapons - temporary and reserve positions.

The battle- the main form of tactical actions of units, is organized and coordinated actions of subunits, military units and formations in order to destroy (rout) the enemy, repel his attacks and perform other tasks in a limited area, within a short time. Combat can be combined arms, anti-aircraft, air and sea.

The main means of destroying the enemy in a platoon (squad) is fire.

Fire is the destruction of the enemy by shooting (by launch) from various types of weapons (weapons).

It differs: according to the tactical tasks to be solved - for destruction, suppression, exhaustion, destruction, smoke (blinding), lighting, and others; by type of weapon - from infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, anti-tank missile systems, small arms, grenade launchers, artillery, mortars, anti-aircraft weapons and others; according to the methods of conducting - direct, semi-direct fire, from closed firing positions and others; according to the intensity of shooting - single shots, short or long lines, continuous, dagger, fluent, methodical, salvo and others; in the direction of fire - frontal, flank and cross; according to the methods of firing - from a place, from a stop (from a short stop), on the move, from the side, with dispersion along the front, with dispersion in depth, over an area and others; by type of fire separate purpose, concentrated, barrage, multi-layered, multi-tiered and others.

003. Combined arms combat is conducted by the joint efforts of all units participating in it with the use of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), artillery, means air defense, airplanes, helicopters, other weapons and military equipment. It is characterized by decisiveness, tension, transience and dynamism of actions, their ground-air nature, simultaneous powerful fire impact to great depths, the use of various methods of performing combat missions and a quick transition from one type of tactical action to another.

004. Successful completion of the combat assigned to the platoon (squad, tank) (tactical) tasks are achieved: by constant combat readiness; timely detection of the enemy and destruction of his fire; decisiveness, activity and continuity of tactical actions; suddenness of action and the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy); skillful application of maneuver; organization and maintenance of continuous interaction; securing action; full strain of moral and physical strength, the use of the moral and psychological factor in the interests of fulfilling a combat mission; firm and continuous management of units.

005. Constant combat readiness of a platoon (squad, tank) is his ability at any time in an organized manner, in a timely manner, to begin the task and successfully complete it. Constant combat readiness is achieved by: a correct understanding of one's mission, high combat training of all personnel and their readiness for action in the conditions of the use of weapons of all types by the enemy; high moral and psychological state, discipline and vigilance of personnel; the staffing and security of the platoon with everything necessary to complete the task; constant readiness of weapons and military equipment for immediate use, and of personnel - for the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to them; skillful management and implementation of measures to ensure action.

006. Timely detection of the enemy and destruction of his fire achieved by continuous observation and the skillful use of their weapons.

To monitor ground and air enemy in a platoon(squad) an observer is appointed, and during the battle, observation of the enemy is carried out by the commander and the entire composition of the platoon (squad, tank). All-round observation is carried out from an infantry fighting vehicle (armored personnel carrier), a tank in all cases. Observation sectors are assigned depending on the location of observation devices, loopholes and deployment of personnel.

The destruction of the enemy by fire is achieved by: timely reconnaissance of targets; the correct use of fire weapons in accordance with their combat capabilities; the accuracy of fire, the suddenness of its opening and conducting with the utmost density and maximum intensity; skillful fire control.

The suddenness of actions with the use of measures to deceive the enemy makes it possible to take him by surprise, cause panic and create favorable conditions for victory even over an enemy superior in strength.

The commander's decision to destroy the enemy must be firm and carried through to the end without hesitation. The most severe condemnation deserves the one who, fearing responsibility, showed inaction and did not use all the forces, means and opportunities to complete the task.

Surprise of action and the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy) allows you to take the enemy by surprise, cause panic and paralyze his will to resist or an offensive breakthrough, disorganize control and create favorable conditions for destroying even a superior enemy.

To achieve surprise, it is necessary: ​​to keep secret the plan of the upcoming actions and preparation for it; attack the enemy where he does not expect; preempt the enemy in actions and suddenly open fire on him; quickly and quickly complete assigned tasks; use means and methods of action unknown to the enemy; widely use the night and other conditions of limited visibility, as well as aerosols (smoke) when performing assigned tasks; skillfully carry out measures for camouflage and engineering equipment of strong points (positions) and locations; strictly comply with the requirements for the management of units, communication security and secrecy.

Skillful use of maneuver will allow seizing and holding the initiative, frustrating the enemy's plans and successfully operating in a changed situation.

008. Organization and maintenance of continuous interaction between squads (tanks) in a platoon, the means attached to it and neighbors consists in coordinating their efforts among themselves in terms of tasks, boundaries and time. To do this, the commander of a platoon (squad, tank) must know the combat mission of his unit and the methods of its implementation, the tasks of neighboring units, landmarks, warning, control and interaction signals established by the senior commander. When performing the assigned task, he is obliged to maintain contact with interacting subunits (fire weapons), carry them out in a timely manner, exchange situational data with interacting subunits in a timely manner, and actively support them with all available means. In defense, it is necessary to provide assistance to the unit defending the most important positions, in the offensive - to the most advanced.

009.

Chapter first

BASICS OF COMMON ARMS COMBAT AND CONTROL

1. Combined arms combat, methods of its conduct

and means of armed struggle

1. Combat - the main form of tactical actions, is organized and coordinated in purpose, place and time strikes, fire and maneuver of formations, units and subunits in order to destroy (rout) the enemy, repel his attacks and perform other tactical tasks in a limited area in for a short time.

Strike - simultaneous and short-term defeat of enemy troops and objects by a powerful impact on them by available means of destruction or by the offensive of troops (strike by troops). Hits can be: depending on the weapon used- nuclear and fire; by means of delivery- missile and aviation; by the number of participating funds and affected objects- massive, concentrated, group and single.

Fire - shooting from various types of weapons and launching missiles in conventional equipment to hit targets or to perform other tasks; the main way to destroy the enemy in combined arms combat. It differs in: solved tactical tasks- for destruction, suppression, exhaustion, destruction, smoke (blindness) and others; types of weapons - from small arms, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, artillery, anti-tank missile systems, anti-aircraft weapons and others; ways of doing- direct, semi-direct fire, from closed firing positions and others; tension - single shots, short or long bursts, continuous, dagger, fluent, methodical, salvo and others; direction of fire- frontal, flank, cross; shooting methods- from a place, from a stop (from a short stop), from the move, from the side, with dispersion along the front, with dispersion in depth, over area and others; types of fire - for a separate target, concentrated, barrage, multi-layered and multi-tiered.

Maneuver - the organized movement of troops in the course of performing a combat mission in order to occupy an advantageous position in relation to the enemy and create the necessary grouping of forces and means, as well as the transfer or retargeting (massage, distribution) of strikes and fire for the most effective defeat of the enemy's most important groupings and objects. Types of maneuver by subunits in combat (Fig. 1) are: envelopment, detour, retreat, and change of position.

Coverage - a maneuver carried out in order to reach the flank (flanks) of the enemy. Detour - a deeper maneuver performed to reach the rear of the enemy. Envelopment and detours are carried out in tactical and fire cooperation with subunits advancing from the front.

Withdrawal and change of positions- a maneuver carried out by subunits (fire weapons) in order to get out from under the blows of a superior enemy, to prevent encirclement, to occupy a more advantageous position for subsequent actions.

Fire maneuver (Fig. 2) consists in its simultaneous or sequential concentration on the most important enemy targets or in distribution to hit several targets, as well as in redirecting to new objects.

2. Combat can be combined arms, anti-aircraft, air and sea.

Combined arms combat conducted by the combined efforts of formations, units and subunits of the Ground Forces, Air force, Airborne troops, and in the coastal direction and forces Navy. During combined arms combat formations (units,

departments) can decide combat missions together with the troops military formations and bodies of other troops of the Russian Federation1.

Rice. 1 Maneuver by units in combat (option)

Rice. 2. Fire maneuver (option)

The characteristic features of modern combined arms combat are: high tension,

the transience and dynamism of hostilities, their ground-air nature, the simultaneous powerful fire and electronic impact on the entire depth of the formation of the parties, the use of various methods of performing combat missions, the complex tactical situation.

Combined arms combat requires from the subunits participating in it continuous reconnaissance, skillful use of weapons and military equipment, means of protection and camouflage, high mobility and organization, full exertion of all moral and physical strength, an unbending will to win, iron discipline and solidarity.

3. Combined arms combat may be conducted with the use of conventional weapons only or with the use of nuclear weapons and other means. mass destruction, as well as weapons based on the use of new physical principles.

Conventional weapons are all fire and strike weapons that use artillery, aviation, small arms and engineering ammunition, rockets in conventional equipment, volumetric explosion (thermobaric) ammunition, incendiary ammunition and mixtures. Have the highest efficiency precision systems conventional weapons.

The basis of combat using only conventional weapons is the consistent defeat of enemy units. Wherein importance will have their reliable fire and electronic defeat With simultaneous impact on its reserves and important objects in depth, timely concentration of forces and means to fulfill the assigned tasks.

Nuclear weapons are the most powerful means of defeating the enemy. It includes all types (types) of nuclear munitions with their means of delivery (carriers of nuclear munitions).

To weapons based on the use of new physical principles, includes laser, accelerator, microwave, radio wave and others.

2. Fundamentals of Using Units

in combined arms combat

4. Motorized rifle (tank) platoon designed to perform tasks: in defense - to repel enemy strikes and defeat his advancing troops, to hold the occupied stronghold, positions and objects; in the offensive - to defeat its defending units, capture the indicated Frontiers and objects, force water barriers, and pursue the retreating enemy. In addition, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon can act in reconnaissance, in combat (travelling, sentry) security. A motorized rifle platoon can also operate as part of a tactical air (sea) assault force.

A motorized rifle (tank) platoon (squad, tank) acts, as a rule, as part of a company (platoon) when performing tasks. In reconnaissance, in combat, marching and outpost protection, a motorized rifle (tank) platoon can act independently. When mastered locality(when breaking through a fortified area), an assault group can be created on the basis of a motorized rifle platoon.

grenade launcher platoon Designed to destroy manpower and firepower of the enemy, located openly and behind shelters. Shooting from grenade launchers is carried out by direct fire from an open firing position, from where the target or area of ​​​​the terrain is visible, on which the enemy is expected to appear. Separate fire missions can be performed by firing from a closed firing position, as a rule, by a hinged trajectory.

Anti-tank platoon designed to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, as well as to destroy enemy manpower and firepower located in shelters and structures.

When performing tasks, grenade launcher and anti-tank platoons, as a rule, operate as part of a battalion.

Motorized rifle (tank), grenade launcher (anti-tank) platoons can perform tasks in cooperation with subunits of other troops.

5. A motorized rifle (tank) platoon may be attached to or allocated to support subunits of military branches and special forces.

Attached units are fully subordinate to the platoon commander and carry out the tasks assigned to him.

Supporting subunits remain subordinate to the senior commander (chief)2 and perform the tasks assigned to him, as well as the tasks assigned by the commander of the supported subunit, within the allocated resource (outfit of forces).

6. A motorized rifle platoon can be given a grenade launcher, anti-tank, flamethrower, and sometimes engineer and sapper units, reconnaissance chemists and a tank, and for a tank platoon - a motorized rifle unit.

Flamethrower units are designed to destroy enemy manpower and fire weapons located openly or located in long-term firing and other fortifications, buildings and military equipment, as well as automotive and lightly armored vehicles.

Engineering and sapper subunits are designed to conduct engineering reconnaissance of the enemy and the terrain, arrange and maintain mine-explosive obstacles, make passages in enemy obstacles and transport mine sweeps.

7. Motorized rifle and tank subunits, when performing combat missions, can be supported by fire and strikes from the forces and means of destruction of the senior commander: grenade launcher and anti-tank platoons; artillery units; flamethrower units of troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection; aviation.

8. When performing assigned tasks, a motorized rifle platoon (squad), depending on the situation, operates in marching, pre-battle and combat formations, a tank platoon - in marching and combat formations, and a machine-gun platoon (platoon of tank firing points) - only in battle formation.

marching order- building a unit for movement in a column. It is used on the march, during the pursuit, during the maneuver and must provide high speed movement; rapid deployment in pre-battle and combat formations; the least vulnerability to strikes by all types of enemy weapons; efficient department management personnel).

Pre-battle order- construction of a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon for movement in columns of squads dissected along the front (in the line of squads). It should provide: rapid deployment in battle order; high rates of progress with overcoming barriers, contamination zones, areas of destruction, fires and floods; the least vulnerability to strikes by all types of enemy weapons; effective management of units (personnel).

Order of battle - building a unit for combat. It must correspond to the task received, the plan of the upcoming battle and ensure: successful combat both with the use of conventional weapons and with the use of nuclear weapons and other means of destruction; full use of the combat capabilities of units, weapons and military equipment; reliable defeat of the opposing enemy unit throughout its entire depth order of battle; rapid use of the results of fire, electronic and nuclear destruction of the enemy and favorable terrain conditions; the implementation of the maneuver; the ability to repel enemy attacks from the air; the least vulnerability to strikes by all types of enemy weapons; maintaining continuous interaction and effective management of units (personnel).

9. Combat order of a motorized rifle platoon may include motorized rifle squads, a control and fire support group. Depending on the mission to be performed, the nature of the terrain, and other conditions of the situation, the battle order of a motorized rifle platoon may include groups of: combat vehicles, obstacles (undermining) and capture.

Motor rifle squads are designed to solve the main tasks: in defense - to destroy the enemy with fire when he goes over to the attack, repulse it, firmly hold the occupied positions and objects; in the offensive - to destroy the enemy's manpower and military equipment and capture the specified objects.

A command and control and fire support group is created to control motorized rifle squads during the battle, to support them with fire, and also to carry out tasks of comprehensive support. It consists of a sniper, machine gun crew and all assigned to the platoon

units (fire weapons).

order of battle motorized rifle department can be built on the basis of battle groups:

maneuverable and fire. The composition of the battle groups is determined by the squad leader. In addition, a combat vehicle may be included in the battle formation of a squad.

A maneuverable group is designed to carry out missions of destroying the enemy, firmly holding their positions and facilities, capturing their facilities, weapons and equipment. As a rule, a senior gunner and one or two gunners are assigned to the maneuver group.

A fire group is designed to support the actions of a maneuver group with fire and to carry out, together with it, the tasks of destroying the enemy, firmly holding positions and objects occupied, and capturing his objects, weapons and equipment. The composition of the fire team, as a rule, includes a squad leader, a grenade launcher, an assistant grenade launcher and a machine gunner.

Depending on the assigned task and the conditions of the situation, the composition of combat groups may be different.

The combat vehicle is designed to support the actions of combat groups with fire, destroy armored, unarmored objects and enemy manpower, as well as to transport squad personnel.

A motorized rifle platoon (squad) can operate on foot (on skis in winter), on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, cars) and as an assault force on tanks.

10. The use of units is organized and carried out based on general principles tactics, which include: maintaining their high combat readiness; activity and decisiveness of action; timely detection of the enemy and destruction by fire; the coordinated use of all units, forces and means involved in combined arms combat, maintaining continuous interaction between them; secrecy and surprise of actions, the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy); bold maneuver by subunits, weapons and fire; consolidation success; comprehensive combat support (performance of the assigned task); maintaining combat readiness; constant consideration and skillful use of the moral and psychological factor; firm, stable and continuous management of units (personnel), forces and means.

11. Maintaining high combat readiness consists in organizing and carrying out a set of measures aimed at maintaining the unit’s ability to under any conditions of the situation in an organized manner, in a timely manner, proceed to the implementation of the received task and successfully complete it.

The most important elements of combat readiness of units are: high combat training of all personnel; constant readiness of the unit to perform the tasks received; maintenance of weapons and military equipment in readiness for use ( combat use); provision with everything necessary for the successful completion of the task; high vigilance of personnel.

12. The activity and decisiveness of actions consist in the constant striving for the complete defeat of the enemy, in the readiness and ability of subunits in any conditions of the situation to strike at him, to impose his will on him, to seize and hold the initiative.

The commander's decision to crush the enemy must be firm and carried through to the end without hesitation. Inaction, failure to use all forces, means and opportunities to achieve success, indecision and passivity lead to defeat.

13. Timely detection of the enemy and destruction of him by fire are achieved by conducting continuous reconnaissance and skillful use of one's weapons.

The destruction of the enemy by fire is achieved by: timely reconnaissance of targets; efficient use fire weapons in accordance with their combat capabilities; accuracy, suddenness of opening and firing with maximum density and intensity; skillful fire control in combat.

When performing combat missions, a platoon (squad, crew) fires from the weapons of infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) and tanks, from machine guns, machine guns, sniper rifles,

grenade launchers, uses hand grenades, and in hand-to-hand combat - strikes with a bayonet, butt and infantry shovel.

The fire of weapons of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks destroys tanks, other armored vehicles, fire weapons and manpower of the enemy, destroys his fortifications, hits low-flying aircraft, helicopters and other air targets. The fire of armored personnel carriers destroys manpower, weapons and other targets.

Submachine guns and machine guns are used to destroy manpower and fire weapons of the enemy. In addition, they can be used to destroy low-flying air targets.

A sniper rifle is used to destroy important single targets (officers, observers, snipers, fire crews, low-flying helicopters) of the enemy. Anti-tank missile systems, anti-tank grenade launchers and rocket-propelled anti-tank grenades are used to destroy tanks and other armored vehicles, while other grenade launchers and hand grenades are used to destroy enemy manpower and fire weapons located outside shelters, in open trenches, trenches and behind shelters (in hollows). , ravines and on reverse slopes).

The firing position (place for shooting) should be convenient, provide a wide view and shelling, cover the fire weapon (shooter) from enemy observation, exclude the presence of dead spaces in the firing sector and ensure maneuvering. After firing several shots (bursts) from one firing position (shooting place), in order to prevent the enemy from conducting aimed fire and deceiving him, it is changed.

It is forbidden to choose and take up a firing position (place for shooting) on ​​the crests of heights (hills, hills), in front of local objects, against which the silhouette of the shooter will be clearly visible.

14. Consistent application of all		subdivisions,			and with r e d with t in,
h a s t v y y y y y x v	about general		s u n c e	n o t
in t o m e n t i o n	between them are		coordination of actions		all participants

combined arms combat with fire, electronic and nuclear defeat according to tasks, directions, lines, time and methods of conducting combat in the interests of the successful fulfillment of combat missions by combined arms subunits.

In combat, the commander of a platoon (squad, tank) is obliged to maintain contact with subordinate, supporting and cooperating subunits (fire weapons), carry out assigned tasks in a timely manner, exchange situational data with interacting subunits in a timely manner, and actively support them with available means. In defense, it is necessary first of all to support the subunit defending the most important positions, in the offensive - the most advanced one.

paralyze his offensive impulse and will to resist, disorganize command and control of troops and create favorable conditions for victory even over an enemy superior in strength.

Military stratagem (deception of the enemy) is carried out by misleading the enemy about the true state and actions of subunits. Ways to deceive the enemy depend on the prevailing situation, the assigned combat mission, the degree of readiness of subunits for decisive and unconventional actions under conditions of strict camouflage, as well as on the state of the weather, the time of the year and the day. Fraud must be simple in concept and execution, organized covertly, carried out convincingly and in a timely manner.

The use of military cunning (deception of the enemy) should not allow treachery (covering the actions of troops with the right to protection, which is determined by international legal acts).

16. A daring maneuver in support of the separation of mi and fire weapons gnem allows you to seize and hold the initiative, thwart the plans of the enemy and successfully complete tasks in any situation.

The maneuver must be simple in concept and carried out quickly, covertly and suddenly for the enemy. For its implementation, the results of fire damage to the enemy are used.

(of fire), open flanks, gaps, terrain folds, hidden approaches, aerosol screens, and in defense, in addition, trenches and communication passages.

17. Consolidation of the success achieved allows you to keep the tactical initiative and create conditions for further actions.

18. Comprehensive combat support (implementation of the assigned task) consists in the preparation and implementation of measures aimed at maintaining units in high combat readiness, maintaining their combat capability and creating favorable conditions for the fulfillment of assigned tasks.

Comprehensive support is divided into combat, moral-psychological, technical and rear. It is carried out continuously during preparation and in the course of combat (performance of the assigned task).

19. Maintaining capability consists in ensuring the readiness of subunits to successfully carry out combat missions in any situation.

Combat efficiency is ensured by: staffing of units with personnel, weapons and military equipment; the availability of the necessary stocks of material resources; combat training and coherence of units; organizational qualities of the commanding staff; solidarity, high moral and psychological state, organization and discipline of personnel; organization of sustainable and continuous management; the ability to quickly replenish losses and protect troops.

The protection of troops is organized and carried out in order to preserve (maintain) the combat capability of units and ensure the fulfillment of assigned tasks by reducing the impact on units and personnel of enemy weapons, natural, man-made, radio-electronic, informational, psychological and other hazards.

To do this, it is necessary: ​​to know and form the moral and psychological stability of the personnel, to combine high demands with attention to their needs and concern for providing everything necessary for life and combat; systematically study the moral and psychological qualities of the enemy, actively counteract his psychological sabotage and propaganda.

21. Firm, stable and continuous management of units (personnel), forces and means allows them to be used to the fullest. combat capabilities. This is achieved: constant knowledge of the situation, timely decision-making and their persistent implementation; personal responsibility of the commander for his decisions; organizing and ensuring the secrecy of control and the survivability of control points, the presence of stable communications.
