BASICS OF COMMON ARMS COMBAT AND CONTROL

1. Combined arms combat, methods of its conduct
and means of armed struggle
1. Fight- the main form of tactical actions, is strikes, fire and maneuver of formations, units and subunits organized and coordinated in purpose, place and time in order to destroy (rout) the enemy, repel his strikes and perform other tactical tasks in a limited area within a short time.
Hit- simultaneous and short-term defeat of enemy troops and objects by 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 kinds weapons and launching of 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;
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- organized movement of troops during the performance of 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 destruction of the most important enemy groupings and objects. Types of maneuver by subunits in combat are: envelopment, detour, retreat, and change of position.

Coverage- a maneuver carried out in order to reach the flank (flanks) of the enemy.
Bypass- 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- consists in its simultaneous or sequential concentration on the most important enemy targets or in distribution to defeat several targets, as well as in redirecting to new objects.
2. Combat can be combined arms, anti-aircraft, air and sea.

Combined arms combat is conducted by the combined efforts of formations, units and subunits of the Ground Forces, the Air Force, the Airborne Forces, and in the coastal direction and by forces Navy. In the course of combined-arms combat formations (units, subunits) may perform combat missions jointly with troops, military formations and bodies of other troops of the Russian Federation.

The characteristic features of modern combined-arms combat are: high tension, transience and dynamism of hostilities, their ground-air nature, simultaneous powerful fire and electronic impact throughout the depth of the formation of the parties, the use of various methods of performing combat missions, and a complex tactical situation.
Combined arms combat requires the units participating in it to conduct 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 can be conducted using only conventional weapons or using nuclear weapons, other means of mass destruction, as well as weapons based on the use of new physical principles.

conventional weapons comprise 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. High-precision systems of conventional weapons have the highest efficiency.

The basis of combat using only conventional weapons is the consistent defeat of enemy units. At the same time, their reliable fire and electronic defeat will be important. With simultaneous impact on its reserves and important objects in depth, timely concentration of forces and means to fulfill the assigned tasks.
Nuclear weapon is 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.
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; effective management of units (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 combat capabilities of units, weapons and military equipment; reliable defeat of the opposing enemy subunit throughout the entire depth of his battle formation; rapid use of the results of fire, electronic and nuclear destruction of the enemy and favorable conditions terrain; 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).

10. The use of units is organized and carried out on the basis of 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 of the achieved success;
comprehensive combat support (performance of the assigned task);
maintaining combat readiness;
constant consideration and skillful use of the moral and psychological factor;
solid, stable and continuous control subdivisions (personnel), forces and means.

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

The most important elements of combat readiness of units are:

high combat skill personnel;
constant readiness of the unit to perform the tasks received;
maintaining 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. Activity and decisiveness of action consist in the constant striving for the complete defeat of the enemy, in the readiness and ability of subunits to strike at him under any conditions of the situation, to impose their 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 his fire achieved by conducting continuous reconnaissance and the skillful use of their weapons.

Destruction of the enemy by fire is achieved:

timely reconnaissance of targets;

efficient use of fire weapons in accordance with their combat capabilities;
accuracy, suddenness of opening and firing with maximum density and intensity;
skillful fire control in 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 of heights).

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. The coordinated use of all subunits, forces and means involved in combined arms combat, maintaining continuous interaction between them consists in coordinating the actions of all participants in combined arms combat with fire, electronic and nuclear damage in terms of tasks, directions, lines, time and methods of conducting combat in the interests of successful performance 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.

15. Stealth and surprise actions, the use of military cunning (deception of the enemy) allow you to take the enemy by surprise, cause panic, paralyze his offensive impulse and will to resist, disorganize command and control of troops and create favorable conditions to defeat even a superior enemy.
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. Bold maneuver by units, weapons and fire 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, results fire defeat enemy (fire) open flanks, gaps, terrain folds , hidden approaches , aerosol screens , and in defense, in addition, trenches and moves messages.
17. Anchoring successallows you to maintain tactical initiative and create conditions for further action.
18. Comprehensive combat support (completion 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 combat readiness is to ensure the readiness of units to successfully carry out combat missions in any conditions of the situation.
Combat efficiency is provided:

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 protection of troops .

Troop protection organized and carried out in order to maintain (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.
20. Constant consideration and skillful use of the moral and psychological factor are essential conditions for success. For this you need:

know and form moral and psychological stability of personnel, combine high demands with attention to his needs and concern for providing everything necessary for life and battle;
systematically study the moral and psychological qualities of the enemy , actively counteract its psychological sabotage and propaganda.

21. Firm, stable and continuous management of units (personnel), forces and means allows you to make the most of their 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.

4. Department management

Management Basics

38. Management of subunits (personnel) consists in the purposeful activity of the commander to maintain them in constant combat readiness, prepare subunits (personnel, weapons and military equipment) for combat (performance of the assigned task) and guide them in the performance of tasks.
Control should be stable, continuous, operational and hidden, ensure the constant combat readiness of units, effective use their combat capabilities and the successful completion of assigned tasks on time and in any situation.

Management sustainability is achieved by: correct understanding of the task set by the senior boss; persistent implementation of the decisions made; skillful organization of work on means of communication; maintaining stable communication with the senior boss, with subordinate and interacting units.

Continuity of control achieved: constant knowledge and comprehensive assessment of the current situation; timely decision-making and clear assignment of tasks to subordinates; skillful use of communications; restoration of impaired control in the shortest possible time.

Efficiency of management achieved by: rapid response to changing conditions; timely influence on the actions of units in the interests of fulfilling the assigned tasks.
Stealth control achieved by: covert placement and movement of the command and observation post (commander in battle order); strict observance of the rules and procedures for the use of communication facilities, the established modes of their operation and radio masking measures; education of personnel in the spirit of high vigilance.
Control of subunits (fire weapons, personnel) is organized and carried out on the basis of the decision of the commander.

Commander Basics
in preparation for the battle (completion of the assigned task) and in the course of it

47. Preparation of the battle (completion of the received task) includes:

its organization;
preparation of a platoon (personnel of the squad (crew), weapons and military equipment) for combat (performance of the assigned task);
practical work commander in units (work to control the fulfillment of assigned tasks and provide assistance) and other activities.

49. Organization of the battle (completion of the received task) platoon (squad, tank) starts with receiving a combat mission and includes:

decision-making;
conducting reconnaissance (if necessary);
setting combat missions;
organization of interaction, comprehensive support and management.

It is carried out, as a rule, on the ground, and if this is not possible, on a map (scheme) or on a layout of the area. In this case, the combat missions of the squads (tanks, personnel) and attached assets are specified by the subunit commander on the ground in the course of their taking up positions (advancing them to the line of transition to the attack).
50. The decision to fight (the fulfillment of the assigned task) is made by the platoon (squad, tank) commander alone on the basis of understanding the task and assessing the situation.
Understanding the task, the commander must understand:

the purpose of the forthcoming actions;
tasks of the battalion (company) and platoon (platoon and squad (tank);
the plan of the senior commander (especially ways to defeat the enemy);
landmarks assigned to them;
what objects (targets) in the direction of action of the platoon (squad, tank) are affected by the means of senior commanders;
tasks of neighbors, conditions of interaction with them;
control signals, interactions and notifications and the order of actions on them, as well as the time of readiness for the task.

Based on the clarification of the task, the platoon commander calculates the time for preparing the battle (performing the assigned task).

The assessment of the situation is carried out taking into account the forecast of its development during the preparation and in the course of performing the assigned task. It consists in the study and analysis of factors and conditions affecting its implementation, and includes:

assessment of the enemy;
assessment of subordinate units (fire weapons) and neighbors;
assessment of the terrain, weather conditions, time of year, day and other factors affecting the performance of the task.

As a result of understanding the assigned task and assessing the situation, the commander determines the main stages of its implementation, the main content of which is tactical tasks.

In the decision, the platoon (squad, tank) commander determines:

the plan of the battle (completion of the received task);
tasks for elements of the battle formation (subdivisions, fire weapons, personnel);
the main issues of interaction, comprehensive support and management.

The idea is the basis of the decision . Making an idea, The commander must, by the stages of completing the assigned task, determine:

the sequence and methods of action, indicating the procedure for destroying (engaging) the enemy by fire from subunits (personnel), regular and attached fire weapons;
distribution of forces and means (building a combat (marching) order);
ensuring secrecy in the preparation and execution of the received task.

In the tasks of the elements of battle order (subunits, fire weapons, personnel), the commander determines their combat composition, tasks to be performed, directions of action, assigned positions, and other issues.

In the main issues of interaction tasks are defined for which it is necessary to coordinate the efforts of the elements of the combat order (subdivisions, fire weapons, personnel) among themselves, with neighbors, as well as with the forces and means of the senior commander performing tasks in the interests of the platoon (squad, tank).

key issues of comprehensive provision the main measures for combat support and the procedure for the implementation of measures for moral, psychological, technical and logistic support, the sequence and timing of their implementation, the forces and means involved.

B the main management issues are determined (specified):

places and time of deployment of the command and observation post (commander's place in battle formation);
the procedure for using means of communication in the preparation and in the course of performing the task received;
the procedure for bringing to the subordinate signals of control, interaction, notification, identification and transfer of control.

51. Reconnaissance consists in a visual study of the enemy and the terrain in order to clarify the decision made. It is carried out by the platoon commander with the involvement of subordinate commanders, and in some cases, driver-mechanics (drivers) and gunners of combat vehicles.
52. The assignment of combat missions to subordinate and support units (fire weapons, personnel) is carried out by issuing combat orders and instructions on the types of comprehensive support personally by the commander orally and by technical means connections.

53. The commander of a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon organizes interaction, comprehensive support and control with the involvement of commanders of full-time and attached units, and the commander of a tank platoon - with all personnel.

54. Interaction is organized according to the stages of the implementation of the received task, areas of action, boundaries and time. In the course of its organization, notification signals, interaction, control and the procedure for acting on them, as well as identification signals and methods of target designation and fire adjustment are brought to the attention of subordinates. If there is time, the order and methods of joint actions are practically worked out with subunits (personnel).

As a result of the organization of interaction, the commander must achieve a common understanding by the commanders of regular and attached subunits (fire weapons) of the assigned task and methods for its implementation, knowledge of warning signals, interaction, control and the procedure for actions by all personnel.

55. Organization of comprehensive support includes the organization of combat support and the organization of the implementation of measures for moral, psychological, technical, and logistic support. In the instructions, the platoon (squad, tank) commander determines: the main measures of the type of comprehensive support, the time, place and procedure for their implementation, the forces and means involved, as well as the tasks of the units (personnel).

56. organizing management, the platoon (squad, tank) commander updates (specifies) the radio data and the procedure for using communications equipment, determines the procedure for monitoring the signals of the senior commander.

57. Preparation of a platoon (personnel, weapons and military equipment) to perform the assigned task……..

If necessary, events can be organized and carried out to coordinate subunits and combat groups, as well as exercises with personnel in relation to the nature of the forthcoming actions.
58. During practical work the platoon commander must hear and clarify the decisions of his subordinates (if necessary), the tasks solved in their interests by the forces and means of the senior commander, and also make sure that the battle (performance of the task received) is fully prepared and the units (personnel, weapons and military equipment) are ready to perform the tasks assigned to them.

In the course of work, the platoon leader must check the knowledge of all personnel:

opposing opponent;
their tasks, methods and sequence of their implementation;
order of interaction;
control signals, interaction, notification, identification and the procedure for actions on them;
the quality of preparation of weapons, weapons and military equipment for use (combat use);
the equipment of the personnel, their provision with ammunition and other materiel, their knowledge of consumption rates, the size of the emergency reserve and the procedure for replenishing ammunition in the course of performing the assigned task.

In the course of work, the platoon commander identifies existing problems, assists subordinates in eliminating the identified shortcomings, concentrating the main efforts on the fulfillment by subordinate commanders of measures to prepare for the battle (completion of the task received) in full.

If subordinates, weapons and military equipment are not ready to perform the assigned task, the commander is obliged to immediately report this to the senior commander.

59. The management of a platoon (squad, tank) in the performance of assigned tasks consists of:

in observing the results of actions and fire,
clarification of the decision taken on the current situation (techniques and methods for performing the task),
setting (clarification) of tasks for subunits (subordinates) and fire weapons.

Reporting to the senior commander and informing neighbors about the situation are the most important duties of the platoon (squad, tank) commander in the performance of the assigned task.

IN The report to the senior manager states:

where and what task the unit performs;
the position of the neighbors;
composition and nature of enemy actions.

The commander of a platoon (squad, tank) reports to the senior commander immediately:

about the sudden attack of the enemy or his appearance where he was not expected;
about the detected barriers and zones of infection;
capture of prisoners, documents, weapons and equipment of the enemy;
the use by the enemy of new means of armed struggle and methods of action;
a sharp change in the actions of the enemy (sudden retreat, transition to defense, counterattack) and the position of neighbors, as well as the loss of interaction with them;
every decision taken on its own initiative in connection with a change in the situation.

OFFENSIVE

1. General Provisions

179. An offensive is carried out in order to defeat the opposing enemy, take possession of the designated object and create conditions for conducting subsequent actions. It consists in defeating the enemy with all available means, 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, equipment and various objects. Defeat is understood as the infliction of such damage on the enemy, in which he loses the ability to resist.
The personnel of a platoon (squad, tank), using the results of the fire engagement of the enemy, must conduct an offensive with full effort, continuously day and night, in any weather and in close cooperation with other subunits, defeat the opposing enemy.

180. Depending on the situation and the tasks assigned, an offensive can be carried out against a defending, advancing, or retreating enemy.

Depending on the readiness of the enemy’s defense and the degree of his fire damage, the attack of the platoon (squad, tank) on the defending enemy is carried out with extension from the depth or from a position of direct contact with it.

181. The offensive of a platoon (squad, tank) includes the sequential fulfillment of a number of tactical tasks, the main of which are: taking up the starting position for the offensive; advancing to the line of transition to the attack, deploying elements of the battle formation and approaching the enemy; overcoming engineering obstacles and natural obstacles; attack and possession of the specified object; development of the offensive in the depth of defense and pursuit of the enemy.

182. Offensive from the depths usually begins from the initial area with the successive deployment of units for an attack on the move.
To ensure the organized advancement of subunits and the simultaneous attack of the enemy, the following are assigned: the route of advance, the starting point, the lines of deployment, the line of transition to the attack, and when attacking on foot for motorized rifle units, the line of dismounting.

To coordinate the actions of motorized rifle, tank, grenade launcher units, as well as artillery units firing from closed firing positions, a the line of safe removal from explosions of their shells and mines (grenades). Safe removal for motorized rifle units attacking on foot - 400 m, attacking on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), - 300 m; for tank units - 200 m.
In the case of the use of nuclear weapons, it is indicated safe deletion line, when approaching which the troops take the necessary protective measures.

For motorized rifle units on vehicles can be assigned landing sites on tanks. At the same time, collection points are assigned for cars. They are called to their units at the command of the company commander.

183. Attack on the defending enemy from a position of direct contact with him begins in a predetermined battle formation from the initial positions of the companies, which are engaged after the necessary regrouping or with a change of defending units. The line of transition to the attack, as a rule, is assigned to the first trench.
At the initial position of the company, motorized rifle platoons (squads) with reinforcements are located in trenches and adjacent communication passages, and infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) take up firing positions next to or behind their squads. If it is impossible for infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) to covertly occupy firing positions with their platoon, they can be located at the starting position of an attached (interacting) tank unit or remain in firing positions occupied until regrouping (shift). They are controlled by the deputy platoon commander.

A tank platoon can be located as part of a first-echelon subunit in firing positions, at the initial position of a company at a distance 2-4 km or in the battalion's waiting position at a distance of 5-7 km from the front line of the enemy's defense.
The grenade launcher platoon takes up a position behind the companies of the first echelon at a distance from them up to 300 m, and an anti-tank platoon - up to 100 m. The anti-tank squad of the company usually occupies a position in a trench in the direction of concentration of the main efforts of the company.
Fire weapons allocated for direct fire are located at firing positions at a distance that ensures the effective performance of fire missions.

184. When attacking from a position of direct contact with the enemy with the change of defending troops a motorized rifle platoon as part of a company advances to the meeting area with guides and, dismounting, along hidden paths, and subsequently, along the communications and trenches, goes to its original position and occupies it, taking from the surrendering unit a strong point (position), a strong point diagram (fire card), a minefield log and all available data about the enemy. Infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) are located in shelters in the direction of operations of their subunits and advance towards them, as a rule, during fire training. Vehicles remain at the designated collection point, ready to move.

Regrouping can be carried out along the front or with the withdrawal of subunits in depth.
When regrouping along the front, the personnel of a motorized rifle platoon along trenches and communication passages covertly advances to the initial position of the company and takes up the initial position for the offensive, if necessary, equips the occupied section of the trench with additional cells; prepares devices for jumping out of trenches, reloads magazines (tapes), prepares hand grenades for action.
Infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) of the platoon remain in their firing positions and advance to the platoon during the fire preparation of the offensive. During the period of fire preparation for an offensive, infantry fighting vehicles may be involved in direct fire from occupied positions or, with the beginning of fire preparation, move to new ones to destroy designated targets.

A grenade launcher (anti-tank) platoon, as a rule, occupies positions in which it opens and equips trenches.

If a company is replaced by a newly arriving subunit, then a motorized rifle platoon as part of a company secretly, using trenches and communication passages, goes to the assembly area, and then moves to the company's starting position in the second or third trench.
The tank platoon usually remains in its strong point and is used for direct fire. He advances to the line of transition to the attack during the fire preparation of the offensive from the occupied strong point.

When the enemy goes on the offensive, the shift (regrouping) stops and all subunits repel his attack. The commander of the detachable unit controls the battle. Those who arrived to change units also obey him.

185. Attack consists in the rapid and non-stop movement of tank and motorized rifle units in battle formation, combined with intense fire from tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), and as they approach the enemy, from other types of weapons in order to destroy him.

Before the attack, according to the plan of the senior commander, fire preparation of the offensive is carried out, and during the offensive, fire support of the advancing troops is carried out.

An attack on foot is used when breaking through the prepared defenses of the enemy, a fortified area, capturing locality, as well as on terrain that is sharply crossed and difficult to access for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers).
When attacking on foot, the personnel of motorized rifle subunits act directly behind the tanks at a distance that ensures their safety from explosions of shells (mines) of their own artillery and support for the advancement of tanks by small arms fire. In this case, infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) move from line to line (from cover to cover) using terrain folds; operate behind their squads at a distance that provides reliable fire support from their weapons to attacking tanks and personnel of motorized rifle subunits, or directly in the battle formations of their subunits.

An attack on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) is used on terrain accessible to them when attacking an enemy who hastily went over to the defensive, in the absence of organized resistance, and also when the enemy’s defenses are reliably suppressed and most of his anti-tank weapons are destroyed. At the same time, tanks attack after the explosions of their artillery shells, and motorized rifle units on infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers) - in the battle line behind the tanks at a distance of 100-200 m, firing from all their weapons.

A motorized rifle unit in vehicles attacks the enemy, usually on foot. In some cases (in thaw, in the presence of deep snow cover and in other conditions), the personnel of a motorized rifle unit can approach the enemy, and in some areas even attack, by landing on tanks.

DEFENSE

1. General Provisions

60. Defense has goal repel an offensive (attack) of superior enemy forces, inflict maximum losses on him, hold a strong point (position, object) and thereby create favorable conditions for subsequent actions.

The defense must be stable and active, capable of withstanding enemy attacks using all types of weapons, repelling the offensive of his superior forces, their attack from the front and flanks. It must be prepared for long-term combat under the conditions of the use of high-precision weapons, weapons of mass destruction and electronic warfare by the enemy.

Stability and activity of defense achieved: endurance, stamina and perseverance of the defending units, their high morale; skillfully organized defense and fire system; continuous reconnaissance of the enemy; careful camouflage of the positions and lines occupied; skillful use of favorable terrain conditions, its engineering equipment and the use of methods of warfare unexpected for the enemy; timely maneuver by subunits (fire weapons) and fire; immediate destruction of the enemy, wedged into the defense; constant implementation of measures for radiation, chemical and biological protection, protection against high-precision weapons and information and psychological impact of the enemy; stubborn and prolonged retention of strongholds (positions, lines); comprehensive support and training of personnel for long-term combat operations, including in conditions of complete encirclement.

The platoon (squad, tank) must stubbornly defend the occupied stronghold (position, line) and not leave it without the order of the senior commander.

Defense can prepare out of contact with the enemy or in direct contact with it, for a long time or in short time.

61. The defense of a platoon (squad, tank) includes the consistent execution of a number of tactical tasks, the main of which are: occupying and building up defense; destruction of enemy units during their deployment and transition to the attack; repelling the attack of his units and holding the occupied strongholds (positions); destruction (rout) of enemy units that broke into the front line and wedged into the defense.

Control should be stable, continuous, operational and hidden, to ensure the constant combat readiness of subunits, the effective use of their combat capabilities, and the successful accomplishment of assigned tasks on time and in any situation.

Efficiency of management achieved by: rapid response to changing conditions; timely influence on the actions of units in the interests of fulfilling the assigned tasks.

Stealth control achieved by: covert placement and movement of the command and observation post (commander in battle order); strict observance of the rules and procedures for the use of communication facilities, the established modes of their operation and radio masking measures; education of personnel in the spirit of high vigilance.

Control of subunits (fire weapons, personnel) is organized and carried out on the basis of the decision of the commander.

39. The platoon (squad) commander controls units (personnel, crews) by radio, voice commands, signal means, and personal example. Inside the combat vehicle, the commander controls the actions of his subordinates by commands given through the intercom, by voice or by set signals.

In defense, a command and observation post is created in a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon, which is deployed in the subunit's combat order in such a way as to ensure its protection from small arms and mortar fire, the best observation of the enemy, the actions of his subordinates, neighbors and the terrain, as well as continuous control of the platoon.

In an offensive when a motorized rifle platoon operates on foot, the platoon (squad) commander is located in a place that ensures effective control of subunits (subordinates) and fire.

To control subunits and fire, the senior commander establishes uniform control signals.

40. When working at radio stations, the rules of negotiation are strictly observed. In combat, all commands are transmitted by radio using a speech masker or in clear text. When sending commands in plain text, commanders of squads (tanks) are called by call signs, points of the terrain are indicated from landmarks and conditional names, and executive commands are indicated by established signals. When the enemy creates radio interference, the radio stations, at the command of the company (platoon) commander, are tuned to spare frequencies.

To transmit pre-established signals, signaling means are used: signal flares, flags, electric lights, searchlights of military vehicles, tracer bullets (shells) and various sound means (electric and pneumatic signals, whistles, etc.). Signals can be given with weapons, headgear and hands.

Units should only follow the signals of their immediate commander and circular warning signals. They are served until a response (review) is received or the command (signal) starts to be executed.

When managing subunits (subordinate) signals, it must be remembered that signal means unmask the location of the commander.

Notification of personnel about an air enemy, an immediate threat and the beginning of the enemy's use of weapons of mass destruction, as well as about radioactive, chemical and biological contamination is carried out by uniform and permanent signals.

41. Fire control is the most important duty of the platoon (squad, tank) commander. It includes: reconnaissance of ground and air targets, assessment of their importance and determination of the order of destruction; choice of the type of weapon and ammunition, type and method of firing (shooting); target designation, issuing commands to open fire or setting fire missions; monitoring the results of the fire and its correction; ammunition control.

42. For fire control, the senior commander assigns uniform landmarks and signals. replace them prohibited. If necessary, the platoon commander can additionally assign his own landmarks at a rate of not more than five (on the direction of operations of the squads, the boundaries of the zone and the additional sector of fire). When reporting to the senior boss and maintaining interaction, only the guidelines indicated by him are used.

Highly visible local objects are chosen as landmarks. When using night sights, local objects with a high reflectivity within the range of the sights are selected as reference points. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along the lines from oneself towards the enemy, and when organizing defense in a fortified area, they can be numbered from oneself in a clockwise spiral. One of them is designated as the main one. In addition to landmarks, well-visible local objects can be used to control fire.

43. Reconnaissance of ground and air targets must ensure the detection of the enemy in front of the front and on the flanks of the platoon (squad, tank, weapon), and when performing tasks independently - in a circular sector. Target reconnaissance is conducted by all personnel of a platoon (squad, tank, crew) in designated sectors.

44. Assessing the importance of goals is to determine the enemy objects that can have the greatest impact on the progress of the combat mission by the subunit. The sequence of their defeat is determined by the unit commander, based on an assessment of the importance of the targets. First of all, anti-tank weapons, machine gun and mortar crews, snipers, artillery spotters, aircraft gunners, control vehicles and commanders of enemy units are destroyed. The choice of means of destruction should ensure the destruction of reconnoitered targets.

45. When setting (specifying) fire missions, commanders indicate: to whom (which unit), where (target designation), what (target name) and the fire mission (destruction, suppression, destruction, or other).

Target designation can be carried out from landmarks (local objects) and from the direction of movement (attack), along the azimuth indicator, tracer bullets and shells, from shell bursts, signaling means, as well as pointing instruments and weapons at the target.

Correction of fire is carried out from the location of the target, landmarks (local objects) and shell explosions, indicating the magnitude of the deviation in range and direction.

46. The call and correction of supporting artillery fire is carried out, as a rule, through artillery commanders (spotters), and in their absence, personally by the platoon commander. When calling for fire, the platoon leader indicates: the nature and location (number) of the target; shooting task (suppress, destroy, destroy, illuminate, smoke); the timing of the fire mission, and when adjusting the fire - the nature and location (number) of the target; the magnitude of the deviation in range and direction.

Target designation for helicopter (aircraft) crews is usually carried out by order of the senior commander by designating the target location with small arms fire, armament of combat vehicles, tracer bullets (shells), and flares. The task of designating the target location is set in the same way as the fire task, indicating the time of opening fire.

When supporting a platoon (squad, tank) battle with artillery fire, air strikes or other means of destruction, the commander is obliged to indicate the line of safe removal from explosions of his shells (rockets, mines).

Training issues: 1) control of units in battle and the requirements for it; 2) the organization of the battle by the squad leader and the work of managing the battle; 3) educational work in subunits during combat. Teaching and educational goals: 1. To give an understanding and deepen students' knowledge about the organization and management of units in the course of combat. . 2. Cultivate a sense of constant responsibility for the decision. Time: 2 hours. Venue: auditorium of the military department. Form of conducting: story, conversation. Literature used: 1) Rules combat use ground forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan (part three) platoon, squad, tank.

Training question - No. 1. " control of units in battle and the requirements for it". Subunit management consists in the purposeful work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander to maintain the combat readiness of the platoon (squad, tank), prepare it for combat and guide it in the performance of assigned tasks. The basis of control is the decision of the commander. The commander of a platoon (squad, tank) bears full and sole responsibility for combat readiness, preparation of a platoon (squad, tank), armament and military equipment for combat and successful completion of a combat mission within the established time limits, as well as for military education, discipline, morale and psychological state of the personnel and observance of the provisions of international humanitarian law, including international rules for the conduct of hostilities. He must always know where they are, what task they are performing, what the units subordinate to him (soldiers, sergeants) need and their moral and psychological state.

Management must be stable, operational, continuous and secretive. The stability of control consists in ensuring its effective functioning and maintaining efficiency, continuity, and secrecy under the influence of a complex tactical situation. It is achieved by organizing and carrying out activities aimed at increasing its security and recoverability; careful camouflage and fortification equipment of command posts; creation of a reserve of forces and means of control. Efficiency of management consists in the timely adoption and implementation of a decision on the current situation in the course of the task. It is achieved by constant monitoring of the actions of subunits and the fulfillment of tasks by them, conducting reconnaissance, and timely setting (specifying tasks) for subordinates.

Continuity of control consists in the ability of the platoon (squad, tank) commander to constantly influence the course of actions of subunits, set tasks for subordinates in a timely manner and receive information from them about the situation. It is achieved by the constant functioning of the means of communication, the knowledge by the personnel of the established control signals. Stealth control consists in hiding from the enemy the place of the unit commander in battle order and the kept woman of control signals. It is achieved by careful camouflage of the platoon's command and observation post, observance of the procedure and rules for the use of radio and wire communications, and skillful control of subordinate signal means in conditions of direct fire contact with the enemy.

In the event of an unforeseen loss of all communication with the senior commander, the platoon (squad, tank) commander must independently make a decision that is most appropriate for the current situation. In battle, the commander of a platoon (squad, tank) must observe the course of the battle, conduct reconnaissance of the enemy, set tasks for subordinates in a timely manner, skillfully use all fire weapons to defeat the enemy. . All the work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander in organizing the battle is carried out on the ground, and if this is not possible, then he makes a decision, gives a combat order, and organizes interaction in the initial area according to the map (diagram, on the layout of the area). In this case, the combat missions for squads (tanks) and attached assets are specified by the platoon commander on the ground during the period when they occupy positions (advance them to the line of transition to the attack). The order of work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander depends on the specific situation, the task received and the availability of time.

The platoon commander, having received a combat mission, clarifies it, assesses the situation, makes a decision, conducts reconnaissance, issues a combat order, organizes interaction, combat support and control, training of personnel, weapons and military equipment for combat, then checks the readiness of the platoon to perform the combat mission and reports to the company commander at the appointed time. When clarifying the received task, the platoon commander must understand the task of the company and platoon, what objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon's actions are hit by the means of senior commanders, the tasks of neighbors and the procedure for interacting with them, the forces and means of reinforcing the platoon to complete the combat mission, as well as the time of readiness to complete the task.

Assessing the situation, the platoon leader must study: the composition, position and possible nature of the enemy’s actions, his strengths and weak sides, the location of its fire weapons; condition, security and capabilities of the platoon and attached units; composition, position, character of actions of neighbors and conditions of interaction with them; the nature of the terrain, its protective and masking properties, advantageous approaches, barriers and obstacles, conditions for observation and firing. In addition, the platoon commander takes into account the radiation and chemical conditions, the state of the weather, the season, the time of day, and their influence on the preparation and conduct of combat.

Based on the conclusions from the clarification of the mission and the assessment of the situation, the platoon commander alone makes a decision in which he determines the methods of accomplishing the assigned mission (which enemy, where and by what means to defeat, the measures used to mislead the enemy), the tasks of the squads (tanks), attached subunits and fire weapons, and the organization of command and control. ABOUT decision The platoon commander reports to the senior commander (chief). The platoon commander draws up the decision on the work card.

When carrying out reconnaissance, the platoon commander on the ground indicates the landmarks, the position of the enemy, and the most probable nature of his actions, clarifies the tasks of the squads (tanks) and other issues related to the use of the terrain in battle (places of positions of the squads, firing positions of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tanks, anti-tank and other fire weapons, obstacles and passages in them, the route of advance of the platoon and the places of dismounting of the squads). It is carried out with the involvement of the commanders of full-time and attached units (fire weapons), and sometimes driver mechanics (drivers). In the combat order, the platoon commander indicates: in the first paragraph, the guidelines: in the second paragraph, the composition, position and nature of the enemy’s actions, the location of his fire weapons: in the third paragraph, the task of the company, platoon;

in the fourth paragraph, the tasks of the neighbors, objects and targets in the direction of the platoon’s actions, hit by the means of senior commanders, in the fifth paragraph, after the word “I order”, tasks are assigned to squads (tanks), attached subunits and fire weapons, and the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, in addition, tasks to directly subordinate personnel (platoon sergeant, machine gun crew, sniper, orderly shooter) and created groups (fire support, barriers (undermining and capturing). in the sixth paragraph, the time of readiness to complete the task; in the seventh paragraph, your place and deputy. The combat order is drawn up on the back of the work card.

When organizing interaction, the platoon commander must coordinate the efforts of regular and attached fire weapons for the successful completion of the assigned task, achieve a correct and unified understanding by all squad (tank) commanders of the combat mission and methods for its implementation, and also indicate identification, warning, control, interaction signals and the procedure for actions on them. In order to organize combat support, the platoon commander, in the form of separate instructions, determines the procedure for observation and actions of personnel using weapons of mass destruction and high-precision weapons by the enemy, measures for the engineering equipment of positions, camouflage, security and the procedure for their implementation.

When organizing technical and logistic support measures, the platoon commander indicates the procedure and terms for obtaining ammunition, refueling with fuel and lubricants, carrying out maintenance of weapons and military equipment, providing personnel with food, water and other materiel, as well as monitoring the content of the equipment of the soldier and sergeants and its correct use. When organizing command and control, the platoon commander specifies (finishes) radio data and the procedure for using radio and signal communications.

Training question - No. 2. "Organization of the battle by the squad leader and work on managing the battle." The squad (tank) commander, having received a combat mission, must: understand the task of the platoon, squad (tank), as well as the tasks of the neighbors, the time for readiness to complete the task, the order and timing of its implementation; find out where the enemy is and what he is doing, as well as the location of his fire weapons; study the terrain, its protective and camouflage properties, advantageous approaches, barriers and obstacles, conditions for observation and firing; determine tasks for personnel and issue a combat order.

In the combat order, the commander of the squad (tank) indicates: in the first paragraph, landmarks; in the second paragraph, the composition, position and nature of the enemy's actions, the location of his fire weapons; in the third paragraph, the task of the platoon and squad (tank); in the fourth paragraph of the problem of neighbors; in the fifth paragraph, after the words “I order”, sets tasks: the commander of the motorized rifle squad to the gunner operator (gunner, machine gun gunner of an armored personnel carrier), machine gunners, grenade launcher, sniper, mechanic driver (driver), and, if necessary, to the rest of the personnel; the commanders of the grenade launcher and anti-tank squads, in addition, indicate tasks to the calculations; in the sixth paragraph, warning signals, control, interaction and the procedure for actions on them; in the seventh paragraph, the time of readiness for the task and the deputy.

A combat order is given orally in a short form and with the utmost clarity. When assigning tasks to personnel, the squad leader must indicate the place of each subordinate in the battle formation (in position) and determine the order of observation and firing. After issuing the order, the commander of the squad (tank) organizes the preparation of the squad (tank) for the task: replenishment of missiles, ammunition, Maintenance infantry fighting vehicle (armored personnel carrier), tank, execution established works for engineering support, and then checks the knowledge of the tasks of the personnel, their provision with everything necessary for combat, and reports to the platoon commander on the readiness of the squad (tank) for combat.

Fire control is the most important duty of a platoon (squad, tank) commander. It includes: study and assessment of the area; selection and appointment of landmarks; organization of observation of the battlefield; selection of firing positions; assignment (bringing) of fire control signals; reconnaissance of ground and air targets, assessment of their importance and determination of the order of destruction; choice of type of weapon and type of ammunition; type and method of firing (shooting); target designation, issuing commands to open fire or setting fire missions; monitoring the results of the fire and its correction; fire maneuver; ammunition control.

The goal of fire control is to make the most complete use of firepower to inflict maximum damage on the enemy in the shortest possible time with the least expenditure of ammunition. For fire control, the senior commander assigns unified landmarks and signals. They are not allowed to be replaced. If necessary, the platoon (squad, tank) commander can additionally assign his own landmarks, but when reporting to the senior commander and maintaining interaction, only landmarks indicated by the senior commander are used. Local objects that are clearly visible and most resistant to destruction are chosen as landmarks. When using night sights, local objects with a greater reflectivity within the range of the sights are selected as reference points. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along the lines from oneself towards the enemy. One of them is designated as the main one.

Target designation can be carried out from landmarks (local objects) and from the direction of movement (attack), tracer bullets and shells, shell bursts and signal means, as well as pointing instruments and weapons at the target. Reconnaissance of targets is carried out by commanders, observers, and, if necessary, by all personnel of a platoon (squad, tank, crew). All-round observation is carried out from infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers), tanks, in all types of tactical operations. Sectors are assigned depending on the location of sights, observation devices, loopholes and deployment of personnel. First of all, anti-tank weapons, armored vehicles at the forefront and in the nearest depth, crews of machine guns, a sniper, shooters with grenade launchers, aircraft controllers, artillery spotters and commanders are destroyed.

Educational question - No. 3. "educational work in units during the battle". Information and educational work is carried out purposefully and continuously in any situation, at any stage of daily activities, mobilization and bringing units and subunits to combat readiness, in preparation for battle and in the course of it. The organization and conduct of such work is the responsibility of all commanders, deputies for educational work, heads of combat arms and services. The direct management of this activity is carried out by officers for public-state training and informing the bodies of educational work, who are full responsibility for her condition.

When organizing information and educational work, the activities carried out by the brigade, battalion, company in preparation for the battle and during it, the type of hostilities are taken into account. Information and educational work is organized in two main stages: a) preparatory and b) during the battle. It is reflected in separate activities in the "Plan of moral psychological support preparation for combat and conduct of combat. The list of activities in the unit is prepared by the officer of the brigade for state legal training and information. In subdivisions, such events are planned by commanders and their deputies for educational work.

The main groups of these measures can be: measures to transfer the consciousness of personnel from peacetime to wartime; the procedure for instructing and setting tasks for the asset; measures to increase vigilance; conducting political information and state-legal training of personnel; the procedure for supplying units with technical means of education, newspapers, and literature; the procedure for obtaining information and reports to immediate superiors. Based on the requirements of the governing documents, information and reference materials and calculations can be developed for the plan. The experience of the troops shows that among them there may be: a regular job list of an information and combat asset; calculation of the provision of units with technical means of education; inventories of cases and documents to be destroyed and necessary for work in a combat situation, and others.

In order to increase the effectiveness of information and educational work during the period of preparation for hostilities, officers of educational structures and activists prepare Required documents: a certificate of the combat route of the formation (part), forms of combat sheets, sheets of lightning, memos, brochures, materials for conversations, political information, classes in the system of state legal training, extracts from official duties on the organization of information and educational work. They are formed into folders (bags). In addition, stationery, etc. are being prepared. In a company and in a platoon, for information work, there is usually a portable set of visual information, which may include tablets: “State symbols of Kazakhstan”, “Armed Forces of Kazakhstan”, “Days military glory Kazakhstan”, “Great ancestors bequeathed to us”, “Sons of the Fatherland”, “Combat path of the unit”, “Warrior! Observe security measures”, “Know the potential enemy” and others, maps of the world and the Republic of Kazakhstan, a folder with reference materials, combat sheets, etc.

Commanders (chiefs), their deputies, management officers of the unit (subdivision), officials educational structures, military lawyers, doctors and other specialists, representatives of state authorities, law enforcement agencies, religious denominations, labor collectives, public organizations and patriotic movements. The organizers of information and educational work pay special attention to the choice of forms and methods that depend on specific tasks solved by the military collective or individual servicemen.

The main forms of work during the preparatory period may be rallies, conversations, meetings, etc.; in the course of hostilities - a personal example of courage, courage, verbal appeal to military personnel, information about those who distinguished themselves in battle and those who were awarded, a story about the heroic deeds of soldiers, reports of losses suffered by the enemy, etc. Experience shows that the main forms of information and educational work in preparation for battle are: group and individual conversations, issuing combat leaflets and lightning leaflets, oral messages, designing wall newspapers and visual information materials, listening to the radio, etc.

Political information is organized with all categories of military personnel. During the preparatory period, it is carried out at the time provided for by the plan of moral and psychological support for the preparation and conduct of combat, and during combat operations - by decision of the commander at a time when direct combat operations are not conducted (in between battles, on halts, etc.). In the course of information and educational work, they should focus mainly on strengthening military discipline in the units and subunits of the joint group, educating the personnel to obey the law, understanding the need for unquestioning obedience to the order of the commander. For these purposes, special legal information should be held, meetings of soldiers with employees of the military prosecutor's office. The provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on responsibility for military crimes were explained to the personnel.

Combat informing is organized and carried out with personnel directly performing combat (combat training) tasks. Much attention is paid to bringing to the attention of military personnel memos about military operations in various conditions, especially in the mountains, in the city, on the procedure for detecting and neutralizing enemy mines, and more. Combat information is designed to widely disclose the initiative, ingenuity, fearlessness and heroism of Kazakhstani military personnel in the performance of their military duty. It is carried out both immediately before the execution, and in the process of implementing combat training missions. The main place here is given to personal contact, issuance of orders, orders and their explanation, transmission of information through technical means of communication, through combat sheets and lightning leaflets. Such informing of the personnel is carried out by commanders, officers of staffs and bodies of educational work, specially appointed people from among officers, ensigns and sergeants. Information is conducted, as a rule, with officers - on the scale of a brigade or battalion, with soldiers and sergeants - on the scale of a company (individual platoon).

In order to explain to the servicemen the features of the upcoming operation, specific combat missions and methods for their solution, a combat information system should be established. 15-20 minute information should be carried out daily in departments, crews, calculations. Use also reading newspapers, bringing to the attention of the personnel information coming from the headquarters and the combined group of troops. Materials for combat information should be prepared by officers of educational structures, and for direct communication to soldiers, unit commanders, their deputies for educational work, staff officers, the most trained soldiers, sergeants and ensigns from the combat active, who have war experience, who participated in peacekeeping missions and other places, should be involved.

Officers must constantly consider the tasks to be solved. So, on the eve of the march, the personnel must be informed of the tasks of the march, the duties of the military personnel, warning signals and the procedure for acting on them. Directly on the march, the commanders, their deputies for educational work must constantly monitor the actions of the personnel, during short stops and halts, bring to the attention of the soldiers the real situation of the actions of the troops, explain the decisions of the government of Kazakhstan, the task set. The main source of information in these conditions should be all types of modern technical warning. Officers educators are required to listen to messages, summarize them and bring them to the attention of the military. They should see their main task in strengthening their morale and psychological state, confidence in their own forces, in the capabilities of military equipment and weapons, and psychologically preparing them for combat contact with enemy armed forces through continuous personal communication with soldiers.

In the course of hostilities, an increase in the morale and psychological stability of personnel should be facilitated by active work for the timely disclosure of examples of courageous behavior and heroic deeds of colleagues in battles with the enemy. Organize performances of soldiers who distinguished themselves in battles. At the same time, explain the typical mistakes, incorrect actions of individual soldiers, which in a combat situation led to injury or death. In the course of informing, commanders, officers of educational structures should carry out extensive explanatory work to expose enemy propaganda, reveal the true meaning of the enemy, urge not to succumb to provocations, encourage spiritual and combat stamina.

Success in battle has always depended on the quality of management. Skillful management of subunits contributes to the defeat of the enemy with the least losses and the achievement of victory in a short time. In modern conditions, managing a unit is a complex process. A tangible time limit for organizing a battle, an increased volume and change in the content of the commander’s work, as well as the emergence of qualitatively new types of troops, special troops and weapons of destruction demanded from the unit commander to increase the validity of his decisions, the ability to foresee the course of events, the creative application of knowledge, the requirements of combat regulations.

Timely and well-organized uninterrupted command and control of subunits contributes to seizing and maintaining the initiative, secrecy in the preparation of battle and surprise in delivering strikes against the enemy, rapid use of the results of nuclear and fire engagement of the enemy, and timely implementation of measures to protect subunits from weapons of mass destruction. In addition, it allows more efficient use of the combat capabilities of the forces and means involved in combat.

4.1. Essence and requirements for commanding a unit in combat

Subunit management consists in the purposeful activity of subunit commanders in maintaining high combat readiness of subunits, preparing them for combat and leading them in the performance of assigned tasks, as well as in the timely implementation of measures to ensure the organization and conduct of combat.

1) Maintaining constant combat readiness and high moral and psychological state of the personnel of the unit;

2) Continuous acquisition and study of situational data, timely decision-making for a battle and its clarification during the battle;

3) Setting combat missions for subordinates, organizing and maintaining continuous interaction;

4) Organization and implementation of measures for combat support;

5) Permanent management of the preparation of units for combat;

6) Organization of management and communication;

7) Constant monitoring of the fulfillment of assigned tasks by subordinates and the provision of assistance to them;

8) Restoring the combat capability of subunits exposed to weapons of mass destruction by the enemy.

The highly maneuverable nature of modern combined-arms combat, rapid and abrupt changes in the combat situation require that the control of the subunit be: stable, continuous, operational and secretive.

Sustainability management consists in knowing the actual situation; quick restoration of disturbed control and means of communication; in the timely collection of situational data, decision-making, a report to his senior commander and bringing it to his subordinates; maintaining reliable communication with subordinate, interacting units and the senior commander; reliable protection of the control center from all types of weapons used by the enemy, as well as from interference from his electronic means.

In defense, the unit commander is located at the command and observation post (CNP), which is equipped during the communication, or in the BMP (BTR) in a place from where the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of his subordinates and neighbors is ensured, as well as continuous control of the unit. Together with the commander there are liaisons from subordinate and attached units; they also serve as observers.

The high pace of modern combat, abrupt and frequent changes in the situation, and the company commander's command and observation post (COP) being on the move for a long time require the commander to continuously control subunits. Continuity of control is manifested in the constant influence of the commander on the course of the battle in the interests of the successful fulfillment of assigned tasks by subunits.

In order to achieve continuity of control, it is necessary to skillfully choose the location of the command and observation post, locate it covertly and move it in a timely manner, especially when conducting combat at night and on hard-to-reach terrain. If during the battle control is disturbed, the commander immediately takes measures to restore it.

Efficiency unit management will be decisively determined by such a requirement as efficiency. Its essence lies in the timely and rapid implementation of all measures both in the preparation of subunits for the fulfillment of assigned tasks and in the course of combat. In the conditions of modern combat, the struggle to gain time, timely response to changes in the situation becomes a decisive moment in command and control.

stealth control is of great importance in our time in connection with the increase in the enemy's capabilities for reconnaissance and fire destruction of objects by various means. So, for example, having established the location of the KNP of your units, the enemy is able to quickly disable it and thereby disrupt control.

You can avoid such consequences by:

keeping secret all ongoing measures to prepare units for combat;

restrictions on the circle of persons dedicated to the plan of the upcoming battle (each commander should know only what he needs and on time);

covert placement and movement of KNP;

compliance with the rules and procedures for conducting negotiations, transmitting commands (signals) and setting tasks by means of radio communications;

chart coding and use of callsign, signal and conversation tables.

To ensure control in subdivisions, radio-wire, mobile and signal means of communication are used. The platoon (company) commander controls the unit by issuing commands and signals, and sometimes on the principle of "do as I do."

Control of combat operations on the ground is carried out from the command and observation post, which is designed for continuous control of subunits and fire during the battle, observation of the terrain, the enemy, as well as the actions of subordinates and neighbors. The order of placement and movement of the command post of the commander of subunits in a combat situation is determined by the nature of the actions of the subunits (located on the spot, makes a march, conducts an offensive, a meeting engagement, defense).

When located on the spot, the command post of the subunit commander is located at the head of the subunit column located along the advance route.

When operating on foot, the commander of a motorized rifle platoon dismounts and stays behind the platoon chain (at a distance of up to 50 m) in a place from where it is more convenient to see his platoon and control it. The squad leader advances directly in the chain. The company and battalion commanders are in the KNP, which is equipped with an infantry fighting vehicle.

In defense, the platoon commander's CNP is usually equipped deep in a strong point in a trench or during communication in a place from where the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of his subordinates and neighbors is ensured, as well as continuous control of the platoon. Together with the platoon commander, there are liaison officers from the squads in the KNP, they also perform the duties of observers.

On the march, the unit commander follows at the head of the column.

?  Questions for self-control

 What is the essence of management?

 What are the requirements for managing departments and how are they achieved?

 The place of the unit commander in various conditions of the situation.

Chapter 3

50 . Unit management consists in the purposeful activity of the battalion (company) commander, his deputies, and the battalion headquarters to maintain the constant combat readiness of subordinate units, timely prepare them for tactical actions (combat), and firmly and continuously guide them in solving assigned tasks.

The basis of control is the decision of the commander.

The main goal of command and control is to ensure maximum efficiency in the use (use) of the forces and means of the battalion (company) for the successful solution of tasks in any situation.

51 . The main tasks of management are:

provision by the battalion (company) commander, battalion headquarters of operational, sustainable, continuous and covert leadership of subordinate units in the performance of assigned tasks;

ensuring the constant collection (acquisition), study, display and analysis of situational data in order to make a timely decision by the battalion (company) commander and subsequent communication of tasks to subordinate units; organization and maintenance of continuous interaction; organizing and conducting activities for comprehensive support; preparation of units for action and direct management of them; organization of control and assistance to subordinate commanders and units.

52 . Unit management must be efficient, sustainable, operational, continuous and covert.

The effectiveness of control is expressed by the degree to which the potential capabilities of controlled military units and subunits are used in the interests of the successful and timely fulfillment of the tasks assigned to them.

Stability of management is achieved by organizing and carrying out activities aimed at increasing its security and resilience; careful camouflage and fortification equipment of command posts; creation of a reserve of forces and means of control.

Efficiency of control consists in preempting the enemy in making and implementing decisions on the evolving situation. It is achieved by the constant combat readiness of the command and control agencies; high level their professional training; effective functioning of controls; timely decision-making on the evolving situation and organization of actions.

Continuity of control lies in the commander's ability to constantly influence the course of combat operations: to set tasks for subordinate subunits in a timely manner and to receive information from them about the developing situation. It is achieved by the command of the battalion (company) commander and the battalion headquarters of the situation, the proper functioning of communications, and the knowledge by the personnel of the established control signals.

Secrecy of control consists in concealing from the enemy the places in the battle order of subunit commanders and control signals. It is achieved by careful camouflage of the battalion's (company's) command post, comprehensive use of radio and wire communications, and skillful control of subordinate signal assets.

Chapter 4 Control System

53 . The control system is a set of functionally and organizationally interconnected controls, control points and controls (communication systems, automation, as well as other special systems). The command and control system must be permanently ready for operation, stealthy, stable, and provide the ability to control units of a mechanized battalion in any situation.

54 . The secrecy of the control system is expressed in the ability to keep the control system secret from the enemy, all activities carried out during the preparation and execution of tasks, to ensure the protection of information circulating in it, the areas of location of command posts, lines and communication centers. The secrecy of the control system is ensured by reliable camouflage of its elements from all types of enemy reconnaissance, a certain procedure for using and operating modes of communications, and protection of information circulating in it.

55 . The stability of the control system is understood as its ability to function successfully in any environment. The stability of the management system is achieved by carrying out a set of organizational, technical and operational measures. These include: the creation of stationary (mobile) command posts, their respective equipment, placement, camouflage and proper movement; organization of the communication system and its use; increasing the survivability of command posts and communication systems; organization and implementation of measures for radio-electronic protection of radio-electronic means of control systems, increasing their noise immunity; active struggle against the means of electronic destruction of the enemy, their identification and destruction; correct placement of forces and means of command in military units and subunits of a mechanized brigade.

56 . The organization of control consists in creating a control system that should provide a high degree of combat readiness, stability and the possibility of both centralized and decentralized management regular and attached units, the necessary degree of protection from the information impact of the enemy. The organizational and technical basis for the management of subunits, forces and means of a battalion (company) is the command and control system, which is a set of functionally interconnected command and control bodies (commanders), command and observation posts and command and control facilities. The control system must have high survivability, noise immunity, reliability and provide the possibility of both centralized and decentralized control of units.

57 . The command and control bodies of the battalion include command headed by the battalion commander, headquarters headed by the chief of staff, deputy battalion commanders for armament and logistics with their services, companies - the company commander, his deputies, as well as command and control bodies of attached units. The battalion headquarters is the main governing body. He carries out his work on the basis of the decision and instructions of the commander, as well as orders of the higher headquarters.

58 . The commander of a battalion (company) bears full and sole responsibility for the combat readiness, training of subunits subordinate to him, their correct use, and their successful completion of combat missions on time. He is obliged to make timely decisions for combat, set tasks for subordinate subunits, organize interaction and comprehensive support, as well as direct preparation of subunits for combat, firmly manage them, persistently achieving the fulfillment of the assigned tasks.

59 . The commander of a battalion (company) manages subunits by issuing verbal combat orders, directives, as well as commands and signals. Orders, orders and commands should be given briefly and very clearly. He is obliged to immediately report to the brigade (battalion) commander on the accomplishment of a combat mission, new information about the enemy, a sharp change in the situation in front of the front and on the flanks of his unit, and, if necessary, on losses and provision of missiles, ammunition and fuel.

60 . The battalion headquarters is the main governing body. He carries out his work on the basis of the decision and instructions of the commander, as well as orders of the higher headquarters.

The main task of the headquarters is to timely and fully communicate orders and orders to subordinate commanders; in the constant collection, generalization and analysis of situational data, reporting them to the battalion commander and bringing them to the higher headquarters.

The Headquarters is responsible for:

to ensure the combat readiness of units;

continuous acquisition, collection, study and evaluation of situational data; preparation of the necessary calculations and proposals to the commander for decision-making;

execution of combat orders and orders; implementation of measures to organize interaction and maintain it in the course of performing tasks;

organization of combat support for operations and protection of troops; control over the fulfillment of tasks by departments; keeping records of personnel, weapons and military equipment, missiles, ammunition of all kinds, fuel and other materiel;

implementation of the staffing of subordinate units with personnel, weapons and military equipment, replenishment of materiel, as well as keeping records of exposure doses to personnel; informing the commanders of subordinates, interacting units and neighbors about new situation data;

organization of the management system of divisions, ensuring its sustainable functioning; organizing and controlling the provision of covert command and control of troops and keeping planned activities secret; study, generalization and communication to subordinate units of combat experience, as well as methods of managing units.

61 . The battalion chief of staff is the first deputy battalion commander, only he has the right to issue orders on his behalf. He is responsible for organizing and maintaining the continuous management of units, their combat readiness and combat support for the actions of the battalion.

The battalion chief of staff must: always know the situation, foresee its possible changes, be ready to report to the commander the conclusions and his proposals for a decision; assist the commander in organizing the battle, maintaining constant interaction, as well as in organizing comprehensive, primarily combat, support for the combat of units; organize stable communication and protect it from electronic suppression by the enemy; provide covert management of units; record combat orders and instructions given by the battalion commander; exercise control over the implementation of combat orders (instructions) and the provision of units with everything necessary for combat; inform unit commanders and neighbors about the situation; to keep a record of the radiation doses of the personnel of the headquarters, to submit reports to the higher headquarters in a timely manner, and also to study combat experience and bring it to subordinates. He must organize reconnaissance of the ground and air enemy, set tasks for the reconnaissance subunit and, through commanders, communicate to the subunits methods and signals for identifying their aircraft (helicopters).

62 . The deputy battalion (company) commander is responsible for combat and mobilization readiness and the successful accomplishment of combat missions by the battalion (company), is the direct organizer of combat training. In the absence of the battalion (company) commander, he performs his duties. The deputy battalion (company) commander must constantly be fully aware of the entire situation, the tasks of the units and be ready to take control of the battalion (company).

63 . The deputy battalion (company) commander for ideological work directly organizes and conducts ideological work, is responsible for its condition, effectiveness in solving combat missions and for the unit’s readiness to fulfill them, education, morale and psychological state and military discipline of personnel in the performance of combat missions.

He is obliged: to organize the planning and implementation of measures of ideological work and control over their effectiveness; personally instruct unit commanders; carry out the implementation of ideological work measures in accordance with the situation that develops during the battle, timely report to the battalion (company) commander on the ongoing ideological work and the moral and psychological state of the personnel.

64 . The command and observation post (hereinafter referred to as CNP) of a battalion (company) is a place specially equipped and equipped with technical means of communication from which units are controlled during the preparation and conduct of hostilities. The command and observation post must be highly mobile, have reliable communications, and provide command and control of subunits in any situation, while on the spot and on the move.

It is deployed where continuous control is provided, the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of his subunits and neighbors. The command and observation post should not stand out in any way in the battle order; for its location and movement, it is necessary to skillfully use local objects, protective and masking properties of the terrain.

The battalion (company) commander, his deputies (with the exception of deputies for armaments and logistics), staff officers, the battalion communications chief, and commanders of attached units are located and work at the command and observation post of the battalion (company). At the command and observation post of the first-echelon battalion (operating in a separate direction), an aircraft controller's control post can be deployed from the interacting units of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces.

The battalion commander can move into combat formations to control subunits, for which a control vehicle on an armored base is allocated from the command and observation post, on which the deputy (assistant) chief of staff, mortar battery commander (artillery spotter, aviation gunner) work with the commander.

The movement of the command and observation post is carried out only with the permission of the senior commander (higher headquarters) and is carried out quickly, in an organized manner, covertly and should not coincide in time with decisive events in the course of performing the assigned task.

In the event of a failure of the command and observation post of a battalion (company), the control of subunits is carried out, as a rule, from the command and observation post of the company of the second echelon (one of the platoons of the company). The commander, who has assumed command of the battalion (company), reports this to the senior commander, informs his subordinates, interacting subunits and neighbors.

The chief of staff is responsible for the organization (mode) of work of the battalion command and observation post during preparation and in the course of operations, ensuring the stable functioning of the command and control system.

65 . Control facilities include a communication system, complexes of automation equipment, technical means of covert command and control of troops, information processing and calculations, registration and reproduction.

Communication in a battalion (company) is organized in accordance with the decision of the commander and the instructions of the brigade (battalion) chief of staff. The chief of staff of the battalion (in the company - the company commander) is responsible for the organization and state of communications. The head of communications of the battalion directly organizes communications and is responsible for its stable work. The commander of the battalion (company) and the chief of staff of the battalion in any conditions of the situation are required to have with them means of communication that allow them to maintain constant and stable communication with the senior commander, commanders of full-time, attached, supporting and interacting units, and be able to personally negotiate on means of communication. To ensure control in a battalion (company), radio, wire, mobile and signal communications are used. Radio facilities are the most important, and sometimes the only means capable of ensuring the control of units. In battle, all commands are transmitted by radio in plain text, while the names of units and the positions of commanders are indicated by call signs, and points of the terrain are indicated by landmarks, as well as conditional (coded) names. Wired means of communication are used independently and in combination with radio means when the battalion is deployed on the spot, in the initial area and on the defensive.

Mobile means of communication are used in all types of combat, on the march and when located on the spot. Signaling means of communication are used to transmit commands and signals for notification, control and interaction. To maintain interaction between neighboring units, the radio facilities of these units, as well as wired and mobile facilities of the right neighbor, are used.

66 . Uniform landmarks are assigned to control subunits and fire, topographic maps and local objects are coded, radio data and signals are communicated to commanders, identification marks and conditional numbers are applied to weapons and equipment. Local objects that are clearly visible day and night and are the most resistant to destruction are chosen as landmarks. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along the lines from oneself towards the enemy. One of the landmarks is designated as the main one. It is forbidden to change the numbers of landmarks and signals established by senior commanders. If necessary, the battalion (company) commander can additionally assign landmarks and signals.

The battalion (company) commander, as a rule, appoints no more than five additional landmarks (on the direction and boundaries of the companies (platoons), on the boundaries of the strip and additional sector of fire). In addition to landmarks, well-visible local objects can be used to control fire.

Notification of subunits about an air enemy, radioactive, chemical and biological contamination is carried out by uniform permanent signals. All personnel must know them.

67 . For mutual identification, determination of the affiliation and location of units in each battalion (company) of the first echelon of a brigade (battalion), which is in direct contact with the enemy or conducting combat operations (reconnaissance) behind enemy lines, a designation post (point) is assigned from the composition of a specially trained squad (crew). The designation by this post (point) of the location of units is carried out by signal and technical means of identification by actuating them at the command of the battalion (company) commander or the battalion chief of staff in accordance with the order of the higher headquarters. The post (point) designation of the battalion (company) is appointed as part of three servicemen, one of them is senior. It is provided by observation devices, a large-scale map or a map of the area, a control log, a compass, a clock, a lantern, means of communication and signaling of communication and signaling of identification, designation and warning. Technical means of identification and designation are installed near the command and observation post of the battalion. When setting a task for a post (point), the designations usually indicate the composition of the post (point), location, surveillance sectors, identification signals, designations and alerts.

68 . When organizing command and control, the battalion (company) commander determines: the places and time of deployment of the command and observation posts of the battalion (company) and attached subunits, the order of their movement during the battle; the procedure for maintaining communication and radio exchange; methods and terms of submission of reports; the degree of engineering equipment of command and observation posts and the procedure for their protection. The commander of a battalion (company) in battle controls the units from the command and observation post. The commanders of attached and supporting units, as a rule, are located at the command and observation post of the unit to which they are attached (support), or near it.
