Engineering support;
Radiation, chemical and biological
protection.

Intelligence service.

Reconnaissance in the battalion is organized and conducted in order to obtain
intelligence information about the enemy and the terrain in the area
the upcoming actions necessary to prepare and successfully
completing the task received. Major intelligence efforts
focus on eliminating surprise in enemy actions and
on the timely provision of the commander of the reconnaissance
information necessary for the use of units,
weapons and military equipment.
The solution to reconnaissance tasks is achieved, as a rule,
obtaining, collecting, processing and communicating to the commander
battalion and headquarters of intelligence information about objects
intelligence, plans and actions of the enemy.
Sources of intelligence information are troops,
weapons and military equipment, individual military personnel
enemy, locals, various documents as well as their
higher headquarters, headquarters of subordinates, interacting and
other troops.

Security.

Security is organized and carried out with the aim of:
prevent the penetration of enemy reconnaissance into the area of ​​action (location)
their troops;
exclude a surprise attack on them by a ground enemy;
provide the guarded units (subdivisions) with time and profitable terms for
deployment (putting on alert) and engaging in battle.
The main tasks of security are:
organization and maintenance of combat duty;
warning of the guarded troops about the imminent threat and danger of attack
ground enemy;
identification, defeat and destruction of forces and means of reconnaissance of the enemy, his
sabotage and reconnaissance groups and irregular armed formations;
conducting hostilities in front of the front, on the flanks and in the rear of units with
forward detachments, infiltrated enemy groups, irregular
armed formations and providing conditions for the deployment and
the entry into battle of the main forces and reserves;
ensuring traffic safety;
implementation of access control.
Depending on the tasks to be solved, the troops are guarded:
in battle - by outposts;
on the march - by marching security;
when located on site - by a guard;
in all conditions of the situation - by direct protection.

Electronic warfare.

Electronic warfare is organized and conducted in order to:
reducing the effectiveness of the use of weapons, military equipment and
enemy radio-electronic means;
protection of weapons and military equipment from technical means of reconnaissance
enemy;
ensuring the stability of the systems and means of managing their
troops and weapons.

Tactical disguise.

Tactical camouflage is organized and carried out in order to introduce
adversary into error (deception) regarding the composition, position,
the state, purpose and nature of the actions of subunits (weapons
and military equipment), the concept of upcoming actions and is aimed at
achieving surprise of actions, increasing survivability and preserving
combat capability of troops.
The main tasks of tactical camouflage are to ensure
secrecy of the activities of units (weapons and military equipment),
the plausibility of the false intentions of the command and the activities of the troops.
Secrecy of activity is achieved by preventing (excluding) leakage
information on the activities of units, elimination (weakening)
unmasking signs of their actions, creating conditions under which
the use of forces and means of reconnaissance of the enemy becomes impossible
or ineffective.
The plausibility of false intentions is achieved by showing their location and
the nature of actions (functioning) on ​​false (secondary)
directions (areas), equipment and content of false objects.
Methods of performing tactical concealment tasks in the battalion
are:
- hiding;
- imitation;
- demonstrative actions.

Topic for the next lesson:
Topic number 7: "Combat readiness of subunits and units."

38. The management of subunits (personnel) consists in the purposeful activity of the commander to maintain them in constant combat readiness, to prepare subunits (personnel, weapons and military equipment) for battle (to complete the task received) and to lead them in the performance of tasks.

Management must be stable, continuous, operational and hidden, ensure the constant combat readiness of subunits, efficient use their combat capabilities and the successful fulfillment of assigned tasks in a timely manner and in any conditions of the situation.

Management stability is achieved by: correct understanding of the task set by the senior chief; persistent implementation of the decisions taken; skillful organization of work on communications; maintaining stable communication with the senior chief, with subordinates and interacting units.

Continuity of management is achieved by: 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 the disturbed control in the shortest possible time.

Efficiency of management is achieved by: quick response to changes in the situation; timely influence on the actions of subdivisions in the interests of fulfilling the assigned tasks.

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

The management of subunits (firepower, personnel) is organized and carried out on the basis of the commander's decision.

39. The platoon (squad) commander manages subunits (personnel, crews) by radio, voice commands, signaling means, and by example. Inside the combat vehicle, the commander controls the actions of his subordinates with commands given over the intercom, voice, or established signals.

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

In an offensive, during the actions of a motorized rifle platoon on foot, the platoon (squad) commander is located in a place that provides efficient management units (subordinates) and fire.

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

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

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

Units should only carry out signals from their immediate commander and circular alerts. They are served until a response (response) is received or the execution of a command (signal) begins.

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

Personnel are alerted about an air enemy, an imminent threat and the beginning of the use of weapons of mass destruction by the enemy, as well as about radioactive, chemical and biological contamination, by uniform and permanent signals.

• 41. Fire control is the most important responsibility 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; the choice of the type of weapon and ammunition, the type and method of firing (shooting); target designation, giving commands to open fire or setting fire missions; observation of the results of fire and its correction; control over the consumption of ammunition.
• 42. To control the fire, the senior chief assigns uniform landmarks and signals. It is prohibited to replace them. If necessary, the platoon commander can additionally assign his own landmarks from the calculation of no more than five (on the direction of action of the squads, the borders of the strip and the additional sector of shelling). When reporting to the senior manager and maintaining interaction, only the reference points indicated by him are used.

Well-visible local objects are selected as landmarks. When using night sights, local objects with high reflectivity within the range of the sights are selected as landmarks. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along lines from oneself towards the enemy, and when organizing defense in a fortified area, they can be numbered from oneself in a spiral clockwise direction. 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, firepower), and when performing tasks independently - in a circular sector. Target reconnaissance is conducted by all platoon personnel (squad, tank, crew) in designated sectors.
• 44. Assessing the importance of targets consists in identifying enemy targets that can have the greatest impact on the course of a combat mission by a subunit. The order of their defeat is determined by the subunit commander, based on the assessment of the importance of the targets. First of all, anti-tank weapons, machine gun and mortar crews, snipers, artillery spotters, air gunners, command vehicles and commanders of enemy subunits are destroyed. The choice of means of destruction must ensure the destruction of reconnoitered targets.
• 45. When setting (clarifying) fire missions, commanders indicate: to whom (to which unit), where (target designation), what (target name) and fire mission (destruction, suppression, destruction or other).

Target designation can be carried out from landmarks (local objects) and from the direction of movement (attack), according to the azimuth index, tracer bullets and shells, from shells explosions, signaling means, as well as pointing devices and weapons at the target.

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

46. ​​Calling in and correcting fire of supporting artillery is carried out, as a rule, through the artillery commanders (spotters), and in their absence - personally by the platoon commander. When calling 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 amount of deviation in range and direction.

Targeting to the crews of helicopters (aircraft) is usually carried out by order of the senior commander by designating the target site with small arms fire, armament of combat vehicles, tracer bullets (shells), as well as signal flares. The task to designate the target location is set in the same way as the firing task indicating the time of opening fire.

With the support of the battle of the platoon (squad, tank) by artillery fire, air strikes or other means of destruction, the commander must indicate the line of safe distance from the explosions of his shells (missiles, mines).

The basics of the commander's work in preparing the battle (completing the task received) and during it

• 47. The preparation of the battle (the fulfillment of the task received) includes: its organization; preparation of a platoon (squad (crew) personnel, weapons and military equipment) for battle (to complete the task received); practical work of the commander in subunits (work to control the execution of assigned tasks and provide assistance) and other activities.
• 48. The work of the platoon commander in preparing for the battle (completing the task received), as a rule, begins after the orientation about the combat task received by the battalion (company) and the instructions of the senior commander for the implementation of measures that must be carried out immediately. Based on the orientation and the instructions received, the platoon commander sets tasks for preparing personnel, weapons and military equipment for the upcoming actions. At the same time, he indicates to the commanders of regular and attached units: what actions to be ready for; the timing, scope and procedure for the preparation of weapons and military equipment; time, place and procedure for replenishing stocks of missiles, ammunition and other materiel; the procedure for refueling vehicles with fuel and lubricants; the location of the battalion ammunition station and medical station (ammunition station and company medical station).

Organizing the execution of the instructions of the platoon commander, the squad (tank) commander indicates: the timing and procedure for the preparation of weapons and military equipment; the time and procedure for replenishing stocks of missiles and ammunition, water supplies and other materiel; location of the ammunition point and the medical post of the Company and other issues. The crew of a combat vehicle is additionally indicated: the type and amount of maintenance; measures to increase security and passability; time and order of refueling; the location of the refueling point.

• 49. Organization of combat (fulfillment of the assigned task) of a platoon (squad, tank) begins with the receipt of a combat mission and includes: making a decision; 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 (diagram) or on a terrain model. In this case, the subunit commander clarifies the combat missions for the squads (tanks, personnel) and the equipment assigned to them on the ground during their occupation of positions (advancing them to the line of transition to the attack).
• 50. The platoon (squad, tank) commander carries out the decision to fight (the fulfillment of the task received) solely on the basis of understanding the task and assessing the situation.

Understanding the task, the commander must understand: the purpose of the forthcoming actions; the tasks of the battalion (company) and platoon (platoon and squad (tank)); the plan of the senior commander (especially the methods of defeating the enemy); the landmarks assigned to him; which objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon (squad, tank) are affected by the means of senior commanders; the tasks of the neighbors , conditions of interaction with them, control signals, interaction and warning signals and the procedure for actions on them, as well as the time of readiness to complete the task.

The assessment of the situation is carried out taking into account the forecast of its development during the preparation and during the implementation of the task received. 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 implementation of the task.

As a result of understanding the task received 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 battle plan (to accomplish the task received); tasks for elements of the battle order (subunits, fire weapons, personnel); the main issues of interaction, comprehensive support and management. The solution is based on the concept.

Working out the concept, the commander must, according to the stages of the task received, determine: the sequence and methods of Actions, indicating the order of destruction (defeat) of the enemy by the fire of subunits (personnel), standard and attached fire weapons; distribution of forces and means (formation of combat (marching) order); ensuring secrecy during the preparation and implementation of the task received.

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

In the main issues of interaction, tasks are determined for which it is necessary to coordinate the efforts of elements of the battle order (subunits, 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).

In the main issues of all-round support, the main measures for combat support and the procedure for implementing measures for moral, psychological, technical and logistic support, the sequence and timing of their implementation, the forces and means involved are determined.

In the main issues of control, the following are determined (specified): the place and time of the deployment of the command and observation post (the place of the commander in the battle formation); the procedure for using communication facilities in the preparation and in the course of the implementation of the task received; the procedure for communicating control signals, interaction, notification, identification and transfer of control to the subordinate signals.

• 51. Reconnaissance is a visual study of the enemy and the terrain in order to clarify the decision... 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 supporting subunits (firepower, personnel) is carried out by issuing combat orders and instructions on the types of comprehensive support by the commander personally and verbally. technical means communication. As a rule, the setting of tasks is carried out on the ground.

In a combat order, the platoon (squad, tank) commander indicates:

in the first paragraph - landmarks;

in the second paragraph - brief conclusions from the assessment of the enemy;

in the third paragraph - the combat strength, the tasks of the senior commander and the platoon (squad, tank) with the specification of the number of missiles and ammunition allocated for the battle;

in the fourth paragraph - tasks performed in the interests of the unit by the forces and means of the senior chief;

in the fifth paragraph - the tasks of neighbors and interacting units;

in the sixth paragraph after the word "I order" - combat missions to elements of the battle formation (subunits, fire weapons, personnel) with a specification of their combat strength;

in the seventh paragraph - the timing of the measures to prepare for battle (to complete the task received) and the time of readiness;

in the eighth paragraph - his place and deputy.

• 53. The commander of a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon organizes interaction, all-round support and control with the involvement of commanders of regular and attached units, and the commander of a tank platoon - with all personnel.
• 54. Interaction is organized according to the stages of the task received, directions of action, boundaries and time. In the course of its organization, the subordinates are informed of warning signals, interaction, control and the procedure for action on them, as well as identification signals and methods of target designation and fire correction. In the presence of time, the order and methods of joint actions are practically worked out with subdivisions (personnel).

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

• 55. The organization of all-round support includes the organization of combat support and the organization of the implementation of measures for moral, psychological, technical, 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 subunits (personnel).
• 56. When organizing control, the platoon (squad, tank) commander brings (clarifies) radio data and the procedure for using communication equipment, determines the procedure for monitoring the signals of the senior commander.
• 57. The preparation of the platoon (personnel, weapons and military equipment) for the fulfillment of the task received includes: additional staffing, weapons and military equipment; replenishment of the stock of missiles, ammunition and other materiel to the established norms; refueling machines with fuel, lubricants and coolant; maintenance and preparation for the use (combat use) of weapons and military equipment; preparation of initial data for shooting and other activities. 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 upcoming actions.
• 58. During practical work the platoon commander must hear and clarify the decisions of 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 (fulfillment of the task received) is fully prepared and the units (personnel, weapons and military equipment) are ready to the fulfillment of the tasks assigned to them.

During the work, the platoon leader must check the knowledge of all personnel of the opposing enemy; their tasks, methods and sequence of their implementation; the order of interaction; control signals, interaction, notification, identification and the order of actions on them; the quality of preparation of weapons, weapons and military equipment for use (combat use); equipment of personnel, its provision with ammunition and other material resources, their knowledge of the consumption rates, the size of the emergency stock and the procedure for replenishing ammunition in the course of the 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 implementation by subordinate commanders of measures to prepare for the battle (to complete 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. Controlling a platoon (squad, tank) when performing assigned tasks consists in observing the results of actions and fire, clarifying the decision taken on the current situation (methods and methods of accomplishing the assigned task), setting (clarifying) tasks for subdivisions (subordinates) and fire weapons.

Reporting to the senior commander and informing the neighbors about the situation is the most important duty of the platoon (squad, tank) commander in completing the assigned task. The report to the senior chief indicates: where and what task the unit performs; position of neighbors; the composition and nature of the enemy's actions.

The platoon (squad, tank) commander reports to the senior commander immediately: about a sudden enemy attack or his appearance where he was not expected; about the detected obstacles and zones of contamination; capture of prisoners, documents, weapons and equipment of the enemy; the use by the enemy of new means of warfare and methods of action; a sharp change in the enemy's actions (sudden withdrawal, transition to the defense, conducting a 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.

ORDER AND CONTENT OF THE WORK OF THE COMMANDER FOR ORGANIZING VARIOUS KINDS OF COMBAT AND ACTIONS OF THE UNIT.

Wired facilities communications of the motorized rifle battalion.

The motorized rifle battalion has wired communication equipment: 2 P-193M switches, P-274 field cable and telephones TA-57. They are intended for the installation of telephone, wire communication at the command and observation post of the battalion with subordinate units and for remote control of radio stations.

The P-193M switch is intended for equipping a small-capacity telephone exchange at the battalion's KNP. The capacity of the switch is 10 numbers. The time for deploying the switch is 3-4 minutes.

According to article 16 of the PBP of the SV of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan (p. 249), the battle commander platoon like

usually organizes:

- on the ground,

And if this is not possible - in the original area on the map or on the terrain model. In this case, the platoon commander clarifies the combat missions for the squads (tanks) and the assets attached to them on the ground during the period of their advance to the line of transition to the attack.

In accordance with article 17 of the PBP of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan (p. 249) commander platoon, having received a combat mission,

Understands her,

Evaluates the situation

Makes a decision

Conducts reconnaissance

Gives a battle order

Organizes interaction,

combat support

and management,

Training of personnel, weapons and military equipment for battle,

Then he checks the readiness of the platoon to perform a combat mission

And at the appointed time he reports this to the company commander.

When understanding the received task the platoon leader must:

Understand the task of the company and platoon,

What objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon's actions are hit

by means of senior commanders,

Tasks of neighbors and the order of interaction with them,

Forces and means of reinforcing the platoon to perform a combat mission,

And also the time of readiness to complete the task.

Assessing the situation , the platoon leader should study:

The composition, position and possible nature of the enemy's actions, his

strengths and weaknesses, the location of its fire weapons;

Condition, security and capabilities of the platoon and dowry

divisions;

Composition, position, nature of actions of neighbors and conditions of interaction

go with them;

The nature of the terrain, its protective and masking properties,

favorable approaches, barriers and obstacles, observation conditions and

firing.

In addition, the platoon leader takes into account radiation and

chemical environment, weather conditions, time of year, day and their influence

on the preparation and conduct of the battle.

Based on the conclusions from the clarification of the task and the assessment of the situation, the platoon leader alone makes the decision, in which it defines

Methods of accomplishing the task received (which enemy, where and by what means to inflict defeat, the measures used to mislead the enemy),

Tasks to squads (tanks) assigned to subunits and fire weapons

And the organization of management.

The platoon leader reports the decision to the senior commander (chief).

Solution the platoon commander draws up on the work card.

When conducting reconnaissance field platoon leader

Indicates landmarks,

The position of the enemy, and the most likely nature of his

actions,

Clarifies tasks for squads (tanks)

And other issues related to the use of terrain in combat (positions of squad positions, firing positions of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tanks, anti-tank and other fire weapons, obstacles and passages in them, the route of the platoon advance and the place where squads are dismounted).

It is carried out with the involvement of commanders of regular and attached units (fire weapons), and sometimes driver mechanics (drivers).

In a battle order the platoon leader indicates:

1. Landmarks;

2. Composition, position and nature of enemy actions, locations

the location of its fire weapons;

3. The task of the company, platoon;

4. Tasks of neighbors, objects and targets in the direction of the platoon's actions, affected by the means of senior commanders,

After the word "I order"

5. Tasks are assigned to squads (tanks),

attached units

and fire weapons,

and the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, in addition, - tasks directly subordinate personnel (platoon sergeant, machine gun crew, sniper, gunner-orderly) and the groups created (fire support, defenses (detonation and capture).

6. Time of readiness to complete the task;

7. Your place and deputy.

When organizing interaction the platoon leader must

To coordinate the efforts of the staff and attached firepower for the successful completion of the assigned task,

To achieve a correct and uniform understanding by all squad (tank) commanders of the combat mission and methods of its implementation,

And also indicate identification signals,

alerts,

management,

interactions and procedures for

In order to organization of combat support, platoon commander in the form of separate instructions defines

The procedure for observation and actions of personnel when the enemy uses weapons of mass destruction and high-precision weapons,

Measures for the engineering equipment of positions,

disguise,

protection and the order of their implementation.

When organizing events of technical and logistic support platoon leader points out

The procedure and terms for receiving ammunition,

Refueling with fuels and lubricants,

Maintenance of weapons and military

Provision of personnel with food, water and other

material resources,

And also monitor the maintenance of the equipment of the soldier and sergeants and its correct use.

When organizing management platoon commander

Clarifies (brings) radio data

And the procedure for using radio and signaling means of communication.

When operating on foot motorized rifle platoon commander dismounts and is behind the platoon chain (at a distance of up to 50 m) in a place where it is more convenient to see and control your platoon.

Part-commander promoted directly in the chain .

The following remain in combat vehicles:

Driver mechanics (drivers),

Operator gunners (machine gunners)

AND deputy platoon leader ,

through which the platoon leader controls the fire and movement of combat vehicles.

On the defensivethe commander of a motorized rifle platoon is on the command and observation post (KNP) which is equipped in

In the course of the message,

Or in the BMP

in a place where it is provided the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of their subordinates and neighbors as well as continuous platoon control.

Together with the platoon leader, there are liaison from the departments, they also perform the duties of observers.

Accommodation KNP company (battalion) should provide

Reliable communication with subordinates and interacting

units, brigade (battalion) headquarters, neighbors and inside the KNP,

Hidden placement

And the protection of personnel and control equipment from weapons of mass

defeat, air strikes and high-precision weapons,

And also the continuous management of units in any conditions of the situation.

The command and observation post of a company (battalion) is usually deployed on the direction of concentration of the main efforts of the battalion , away from the landmarks that stand out from the side of the enemy, taking into account the protective and camouflaging properties of the terrain. The place and time of deployment, the order of movement of the company (battalion) KNP are determined in the order.

The command and observation post of the company (battalion) should not be far away from the subunits, especially when attacking at night. The commander must observe the battlefield, receive timely reports on the situation and immediately respond to its changes.

According to the experience of the Great Patriotic War and exercises, the command and observation post of the battalion from the units of the first echelon in the offensive was usually located at a distance of up to 300 m, the company - up to 200 m, in defense, respectively - up to 1.5 km and up to 500 m.

Commander - leader of the battle... Therefore, the correct determination of his place in battle plays important role in achieving success.

Unit control in battle is based on the commander's firm belief that subordinates are capable of successfully completing the assigned task. Such confidence comes from the level of training, initiative and creativity of each soldier, sergeant, officer individually and their high personal responsibility for the fulfillment of a combat mission.

Trusting the squad (tank) commanders, the platoon commander, at the same time, possessing knowledge and experience, constantly monitors (monitors) the progress of the preparation of subunits for battle and, if necessary, must provide them with assistance at any time.

The order of work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander depends on the specific situation, the task received and the availability of time.

During the battle when operating on combat vehicles (tanks) the platoon leader controls the platoon:

On the radio

Teams

And signals.

When working on radio facilities, commanders must strictly adhere to the rules of negotiation.

When giving commands, squad (tank) commanders are called by call signs, and terrain points are indicated from landmarks and by conventional names.

The procedure for giving commands (signals) by radio should be as follows:

The callsign of the called radio station is called once;

The word "I" and the call sign of your radio station - once;

The word "I" and the call sign of your radio station - once;

The word "reception" is one time.

For instance:

"Birch-13, I am Ash-21, advance in the direction of landmark 4, bend of the Rotten stream, I am Ash-21, take."

"Birch-13, I am Ash-21, 222, I am Ash-21, welcome."

On the received command (signal), the squad (tank) commander immediately confirms the exact repetition of the command (signal) or only the word "understood" with his call sign.

For instance:

"Ash-21, I am Birch-13, I understood, to advance in the direction of landmark 4, bend of the Rotten stream, I am Birch-13, take."

"Ash-21, I am Birch-13, understood, 222, I am Birch-13, reception." "I am Birch-13, I understand, welcome."

With poor audibility and strong interference, the platoon commander can transmit commands (signals) twice.

For instance:

"Birch-13, I am Ash-21, decrease the distance, decrease the distance, I am Ash-21, reception."

The submission of commands (signals) related to all combat vehicles is carried out by the platoon commander using a circular call sign. In this case, he repeats the content of the command (signal) two times.

For instance:

"Thunderstorm, I am Zarya-20, in the direction of landmark 5, Grove" Round ", in the battle line, directing - Zarya-21 - to the battle; in the direction of landmark 5, grove "Kruglaya", in the battle line, directing - Zarya-21 - to the battle, I - Zarya-20, reception ".

In this case, the squad (tank) commanders do not give confirmation of the command, but immediately begin to carry it out. With a stable connection, it is allowed to work with abbreviated callsigns or without callsigns.

For instance:

"10th, I am 20th, increase the distance, I am 20th, reception" (work with abbreviated callsigns).

"Increase the distance, reception." "Got it, welcome" (work without callsigns).

Giving commands and setting combat missions to open fire from the armament of BMP (armored personnel carriers) the platoon commander carries out through his deputy and gunner-operators who remain in the combat vehicles.

When managing single military personnel operating on foot, the team usually indicates:

And the surname,

What action to take

The executive part of the team.

For example:

"Private Akhmetov - to the battle."

"For ordinary Zhumagulov, run to a separate tree - forward."

"Corporal Aidarbekov, crawl to a separate bush - forward."

A platoon operating on foot without combat vehicles is deployed from a marching order to a pre-battle one by command (signal).

For instance:

"A platoon, in the direction of such and such an object (to such and such a line), in the line of squads - a march."

The first squad moves in the indicated direction, The remaining squads, regardless of the order in the platoon convoy, move forward at the commands of their commanders:

the second - to the right,

third - to the left,

maintaining alignment in the first compartment, with an interval of up to 100 m between the compartments, they continue to move.

Depending on the situation and the decision of the platoon commander, the locations of the squads in the pre-battle formation of the platoon may change. In this case, the platoon commander determines the places of the squads by the command,

for example:

“A platoon, in the direction of a group of birches, to the edge of a forest, a structure; guide - the second compartment; the first branch - to the right; the third branch - to the left - march. "

Squads, at the command of their commanders, move to their directions and, maintaining alignment with the guiding squad, continue to move. With the beginning of the deployment to the pre-battle order, the squad leaders establish observation of the signals from the platoon commander.

A platoon operating on foot, from a pre-battle formation or from a column, bypassing the pre-battle formation, is deployed in a chain on command,

for example:

"A platoon, in the direction of a dry tree, to the line of a hillock, ruins, directing - the second squad - to battle, forward" or "A platoon, follow me - to battle, forward."

When deployed into battle formation from the pre-battle formation, each squad, at the command of its commander, is deployed into a chain and, maintaining alignment with the guiding squad, continues to move in the indicated direction (with a quick step or run).

To repel the enemy with fire from the spot, the platoon commander gives the command

"Platoon - stop"

along which the personnel lie down, applied to the terrain, and is made for firing.

To resume the movement, the platoon leader gives the command

"Platoon - forward", and adds (if necessary) - "run."

The change in the direction of movement of a platoon operating on foot, in a pre-battle or battle formation, is carried out by the platoon commander on command,

For example:

"Platoon, to the right, in the direction of the forest ledge, directing - the first squad - march."

The guiding compartment changes direction to the specified object, the remaining compartments move to a new direction and continue to move, maintaining alignment with the guiding compartment.

When the platoon turns around in the pre-battle order of the squad at the command of their commanders

"Branch, march behind me"

"Branch, all around - march"

follow their commanders or simultaneously turn around and continue in a new direction. When the platoon turns around in a battle formation, all vehicles in the battle line, and when operating on foot, the squads in the chain simultaneously turn around and continue moving in a new direction.

If necessary, a change in the direction of movement of a platoon on combat vehicles in battle formation is made at the command (signal) of the platoon commander:

"Attention, do what I do."

In this case, the platoon commander indicates the new direction of movement of the platoon by the movement of his car, and when operating on foot - by the set signal.

The platoon leader rebuilds the platoon from the battle line into the column on command (signal),

For example:

"A platoon in the direction of landmark 4 (behind me), in the column - march."

At the same time, the platoon commander's combat vehicle continues to move, the remaining combat vehicles, in the order of numbers, go to the direction of movement of the platoon commander's vehicle, take their places in the convoy and continue moving, observing the established distances.

A platoon from a chain to a line of squads is rebuilt upon a command (signal),

For example:

"Platoon, in the direction of a separate building, in the line of squads - march."

Each compartment is rebuilt into a column one by one and, observing the intervals, continues to move in the indicated direction,

A platoon from a line of squads or from a chain to a column is rebuilt on command,

For example:

"A platoon in the direction of the shed, in the column one by one (two, three), directing - the first squad - march" or "A platoon after me, in the column one by one (two, three) - march."

Squads on the move, in numerical order, occupy places in the platoon column and continue to move in the indicated direction.

Observation and reconnaissance, organized by the platoon commander even during the organization of the battle, continue continuously in the course of his conduct.

When assessing the importance and sequencing of the lesion objectives, the platoon commander must proceed from what damage this target is capable of inflicting on the platoon in terms of its fire capabilities in battle.

Important targets are considered and those, the defeat of which in the given conditions of the situation can facilitate and accelerate the implementation of the combat mission.

Important targets are usually:

Enemy firepower (tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery installations, anti-tank guided missiles, machine guns, anti-tank grenade launchers),

Observation points,

Radar stations, etc.

In the event that these targets are from platoon units within their range of actual fire, they are called dangerous .

Especially dangerous targets in all cases, there are means of an enemy nuclear attack - launchers and weapons using nuclear weapons.

Those important targets that are from the platoon at distances exceeding their actual range of fire are considered not dangerous at the moment of the battle.

The commander must have comprehensive data on the enemy's defense and fire weapons that need to be suppressed and destroyed. With this data, the commander gets the opportunity to:

Distribute fire missions between the weapons at his disposal

And build a fight to the full

that is, to achieve a build-up of fire from the depths, so that on all lines of the offensive (especially at the turn of the transition to the attack) the onslaught and fire effect of subunits not only did not weaken, but also continuously builds up.

The success of the battle largely depends on the ability of the platoon commander, even in difficult battle conditions, to clearly and confidently give a command. Commands for opening fire and setting combat missions should, in addition to their direct assignment, be a disciplining and organizing tool.

The sequence for giving the command to open fire by the platoon (squad) commander can be as follows:

1. Who should open fire. For instance:

"Second branch",

"To the calculation of the machine gun",

"Grenade launcher".

2. Target designation. For instance:

"Landmark 3, left 40, machine gun in the trench."

3. Installation of the sight. For instance:

"Constant", "Seven", "Five".

4. Setting the rear sight or the value of the offset of the aiming point in the figures of the target. For instance:

"Full left two", "Left two figures".

5. Aiming point. For instance:

“Under the target”, “In the belt”, “In the head”.

6. The length of the queue. For instance:

"Short", "Long", "Continuous".

7. The moment of opening fire - indicated by the word

"the fire".

For firing from an infantry fighting vehicle the command is given in the following sequence:

1. What kind of projectile (grenade) to fire. For instance:

"Armor-piercing"

"Shrapnel";

to open fire from a machine gun at the beginning of the command it is indicated:

"Machine gun".

These commands are used to load the coaxial machine gun.

2. Target designation.

3. Range to the target in meters. For instance:

"1600", "800", "1200".

4. Method of shooting. For instance:

"On the move"

"From place",

with a short stop -

"Short".

5. The moment of opening fire - indicated by the word

"Fire".

In the command to open fire from an automatic grenade launcher, the platoon leader indicates:

1. Who should fire. For instance:

"To the platoon"

"First branch".

2. Purpose. For instance:

"On the mortar battery"

"On ATGM".

3. Sight, goniometer. For instance:

"Sight 10-15, goniometer 30-00",

"Seven on the grid".

4. Method of shooting. For instance:

"On the move"

"From place",

with a short stop -

"Short".

5. Aiming point (aiming) for each division. For instance:

“The first one should aim at the mortar near the bush, the second one - to the right

0-50, the third - to the left of 0-50 ";

"Aim into the corner of the trench."

6. Method of shooting, rate of fire. For instance:

"With scattering along the front of the target, the rate is maximum."

7. Number of shots (ammunition consumption). For instance:

"Consumption - 15", "Consumption - 10".

8. The length of the queue. For instance:

"Short"

Long.

9. The moment of opening fire - indicated by the word

"the fire".

Sometimes the platoon leader controls the fire of regular and attached units by setting fire missions ; while he indicates:

I. Which unit (to whom) is assigned the firing mission.

2. The name and location of the target (target designation).

3. Type of fire to hit the target ("Destroy", "suppress", "deny").

The choice of the type of weapon, which can most effectively perform a firing mission (with the least ammunition consumption and in the shortest possible time), depends primarily on the importance of the goal, its nature, remoteness and vulnerability.

Tank gun fire is used to combat:

Tanks, self-propelled artillery installations and others

armored targets,

For the destruction of defensive structures,

Suppression and destruction of artillery

And enemy manpower.

Small arms platoon used to destroy:

The enemy's manpower with concentrated fire at a distance of up to 800 m.

PC and PKT machine guns are used to destroy manpower and defeat enemy fire weapons at a distance of up to 1000 m.

Large-caliber machine guns (KPVT), installed on armored personnel carriers, they can hit enemy manpower and fire weapons at a distance of up to 2000 m.

The commander of a motorized rifle platoon in battle has to decide on the most appropriate choice of ammunition to hit a target, in accordance with the presence of shells in the ammunition load. It should be remembered that cumulative projectiles used for shooting at tanks at medium and short ranges (for example, from ambushes); subcaliber shells - on tanks and all fast-moving armored targets, starting with the maximum firing ranges; high-explosive grenades - on armored personnel carriers and manpower with the installation of a fuse for fragmentation action and for high-explosive or delayed action when firing to destroy dugouts, long-term firing structures (DZOS, DOS), brick buildings, etc.

Target designation between infantry fighting vehicles and tanks, as well as between platoons (squads, tanks) is carried out mainly from landmarks (local items) with tracer bullets and shells.

Inside the infantry fighting vehicle (armored personnel carrier) target designation between the members of the landing (crew) is usually carried out from landmarks (local objects), aiming weapons at a target or from the direction of movement .

At target designation usually the following is observed sequence:

The position of the target is indicated (from the landmark or from the direction of movement);

The name of the target, characteristic features of the target or area are given;

The task is set - to clarify the actions of the goal, observe, etc.

For instance:

"Landmark 2, to the right 50, closer to 100, ATGM near a green hillock" or "Angle of the grove, to the right 10, further 150 - a black bush, to the left 20-machine gun."

Air targets are fired in two ways:

Defensive

And an accompanying fire.

In the command for firing, the platoon leader indicates:

1. Who should fire (unit).

2. Over what local object (landmark) to fire.

3. How to fire.

4. The moment of opening fire.

For instance:

"To the squad - over the bridge, barrage - fire", "To the squad - by helicopter over the grove, three, five figures to the left, long ones - fire."

Shooting at a fast-moving aerial target requires known skills and knowledge of the shooting rules. You need to know what kind of lead to take when shooting at one or another type of aircraft (helicopter). When an aircraft is flying at low altitude, it is in the firing range for a matter of seconds. That is why it is very important that every soldier instantly takes aim and opens fire on the plane (helicopter), no matter how suddenly it appears.

The constant readiness of all means to open fire on air targets is the basis of the air defense of the platoon, in whatever conditions it may be. Therefore, it is necessary that well-trained observers constantly be on duty in the platoon and squads (tanks), timely notifying about the approach of enemy aircraft (helicopters).

The platoon leader is obliged to organize the matter in such a way as to exert a powerful fire effect against both the air and ground enemy, solving these two tasks as one. When the situation requires it, boldly direct the bulk of the fire at the planes (helicopters), so that, after repelling their raid, they again attack the ground enemy with all their might.

Fire control does not end with giving the command to open fire. Errors in the preparation of the initial data lead to the need to correct the fire, i.e., to make corrections to the initial settings to ensure effective firing to hit the target.

Therefore, shooters, commanders and crews of fire weapons (crews of infantry fighting vehicles, tanks) must monitor the results of firing to correct the fire and determine the degree of target destruction.

The defeat of the target is assessed by the visible results:

Target has stopped moving

Or the DZOS is destroyed,

The weapon is destroyed

The target is lit.

Fire maneuver is the most important component of fire control. With the help of a maneuver with fire, firepower is achieved on the chosen target in this moment battle. It consists in:

Concentration of platoon (squad) fire on one important target,

Timely transfer of fire from one target to another

And firing a platoon simultaneously on several targets.

Concentrated fire is used against an important target (group of targets) to hit it with high-density fire in a short period of time. He prepares for sections of the terrain along the paths of the enemy's probable movement.

Carrying fire it is used in cases when the target is hit and it is necessary to hit another target or it is necessary to hit a more important target.

Distribution (dispersal) of fire This form of fire maneuver is called when a platoon (squad) simultaneously fires at several separate targets.

One of the duties of the platoon (squad, tank) commander to ensure organized and effective fire in battle is the control over the consumption of ammunition. Leaders must constantly monitor the availability of ammunition in the units and take measures to replenish them.

Subdivision management consists in the purposeful activity of subunit commanders to maintain high combat readiness of subunits, prepare them for battle and lead them in fulfilling assigned tasks, as well as in the timely implementation of measures to ensure the organization and conduct of the battle.

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

2) Continuous acquisition and study of situation data, timely decision-making for battle and its refinement during the battle;

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

4) Organization and implementation of measures for combat support;

5) Permanent leadership of the preparation of units for battle;

6) Organization of management and communication;

7) Constant control over the implementation of assigned tasks by subordinates and rendering assistance to them;

8) Restoration of the combat capability of units 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 unit control be: steady, continuous, operational and secretive.

Sustainability management consists in the knowledge of the actual situation; quick restoration of disturbed control and communication facilities; in the timely collection of data on the situation, making a decision, reporting to his senior commander and communicating to his subordinates; maintaining reliable communication with subordinates, 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 with its radio-electronic means.

In defense, the subunit commander is at the command and observation post (KNP), which is equipped during communication, or in the BMP (armored personnel carrier) in a place from which the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of his subordinates and neighbors, as well as continuous control of the subunit is ensured ... Together with the commander there are liaisons from subordinates and attached units; they also fulfill the duties of observers.

The high rates of modern combat, abrupt and frequent changes in the situation, and the prolonged presence of the command and observation post (KNP) of the company commander on the move require the commander to continuously control the 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 the assigned tasks by the subunits.

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

Efficiency management of the unit will be determined to a decisive extent by such a requirement as promptness... Its essence lies in the timely and prompt implementation of all measures, both in preparing subunits to perform assigned tasks, and in the course of a battle. In the conditions of modern combat, the struggle for gaining time, timely response to changes in the situation becomes a decisive moment in command and control.

Stealth command and 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 eliminate such consequences by:

· Keeping in secret all ongoing activities to prepare subunits for battle;

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

· Hidden placement and movement of KNP;

· Observance of the rules and procedure for negotiating, transmitting commands (signals) and setting tasks by radio communications;

· Coding of cards and use of tables of callsigns, signals and negotiation tables.

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

Control of combat actions 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 procedure for placing and moving the KNP of the subunit commander in a combat situation is determined by the nature of the subunits' actions (located on the spot, making a march, leading an offensive, meeting battle, defense).

When located on the spot, the KNP of the subunit commander is placed at the head of the subunit column, which is located along the route of advance.

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

In the defense of the platoon commander, the KNP is usually equipped in the depths of the strongpoint in the trench or during communication in such a place from which the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of his subordinates and neighbors, as well as continuous control of the platoon is ensured. 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.

? ð Questions for self-control

 What is the essence of management?

‚ What are the requirements for the management of departments and how are they achieved?

ƒ Place of the unit commander in various conditions of the situation.

The management of subunits consists in the purposeful activity of commanders to maintain a constant high combat readiness of subunits, to prepare them for battle and to lead them in the fulfillment of assigned tasks. Success in combat in most cases depends on the quality of control. The experience of wars shows that skillful leadership of the troops made it possible to smash the enemy with the least losses and achieve victory in short time.

V Russian Federation the main link in the control system of the military organization of the state is the National Center for Defense Management (NTsUOG) i. It connects the existing departmental control and monitoring systems - the General Staff, the crisis center of the Ministry of Emergencies, Rosatom, Roshydromet and others - in unified system and is designed to coordinate the activities of all federal ministries and departments of the Russian Federation in the interests of ensuring the defense and security of the state.

The main content of the management of subunits is made up of measures to increase (maintain) their high moral and psychological state and combat readiness, to ensure (restore) their combat capability; continuous acquisition, collection, study, display, generalization, analysis and assessment of situation data; decision-making, assignment of tasks to subordinates, organization and maintenance of interaction, organization and implementation of activities for educational work and all-round combat support; organization of management, control over preparation for battle and the implementation of assigned tasks by units.

V modern conditions command and control is the most important link in the combat system. The ability to command troops in practice embodies the tactical skill of commanders and staffs, their ability to organize a battle, develop an expedient plan, translate it into solution, carefully plan combat actions, assign tasks to subunits, coordinate their combat efforts, and comprehensively ensure the battle.

Nowadays the complexity has increased many times management activities commander in battle, increased vulnerability of the control system to the effects of weapons, electronic suppression, air and airborne assault forces and sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy.

Timely and well-organized uninterrupted command and control of subunits contributes to the seizure and retention of the initiative, the secrecy of preparation for a battle and the surprise of striking the enemy, the rapid use of the results of nuclear and fire destruction of the enemy and the timely implementation of measures to protect subunits from weapons of mass destruction. In addition, it allows you to more effectively use the combat capabilities of the forces and assets involved in the battle.

The management of subdivisions can be successful only if it is stable, continuous, operational and hidden.

Sustainability management consists in the knowledge of the actual situation; quick restoration of disturbed control and communication facilities; timely collection of data on the situation, making a decision, reporting to his senior commander and communicating to his subordinates; maintaining reliable communication with subordinates, interacting units and senior commanders; reliable protection of the control center from all types of weapons used by the enemy, as well as from interference with its radio-electronic means.

Continuity control consists in the constant influence of the commander on the course of the battle with all the means at his disposal in the interests of the successful fulfillment of the assigned task by the subunits. In battle, the platoon (squad, tank) commander is obliged to closely monitor the course of the battle, continuously conduct reconnaissance of the enemy, timely set or clarify tasks for squads (tanks), as well as attached and supporting subunits. An indispensable condition for achieving continuity of control is constant knowledge of the situation on the battlefield in front of the front of its subunits and neighbors, its analysis and foresight of the most significant changes. This will allow the commander to skillfully use in the course of the battle the standard and attached fire weapons and effectively use the results of nuclear and fire destruction of the enemy.

In order to achieve continuity of control, it is necessary to skillfully choose the location of the command and observation post, to covertly locate it and move it in a timely manner, especially when conducting a battle at night, in fog, blizzard, and in hard-to-reach terrain. The commander must be in the most important direction at the moment and in a timely manner exert influence on the course of the battle with all the forces and fire resources at his disposal. In difficult moments of battle, by personal example, showing courage, initiative and resourcefulness, he must lead the units and carry out a combat mission, regardless of any difficulties, instilling this determination to all subordinates.

Promptness management consists of:

• in the timely and prompt implementation of all measures related to the leadership of subunits in preparation for and during the conduct of a battle;
• constant knowledge of the situation and quick response to its changes;
• timely clarification of the decision made and the tasks assigned to the divisions;
• the ability of the commander to apply the most expedient method of work and complete the assigned tasks in a time frame that ensures the anticipation of the enemy in actions; in the ability to work on standard means of communication.

Especially high efficiency in work is necessary when preparing a battle in a short time and in the dynamics of its conduct. Rapid acquisition of information about the enemy, the timeliness of reports from subordinate commanders, well-organized information from the senior commander and neighbors are critical to maintaining operational efficiency.

Stealth management. In modern combat, it acquires even greater importance in connection with the growing role of surprise in actions, an increase in the enemy's reconnaissance capabilities, as well as with the use of nuclear and high-precision weapons. Therefore, keeping secret all measures related to the preparation and conduct of a battle is the most important condition for the secrecy of control. It is achieved by strict adherence to the established mode of negotiations on technical means of communication, the use of various ciphers and codes; the use of tables, call signs and signals, negotiation tables and card coding, prohibition of open negotiations; reliable camouflage of command and observation posts.

In modern conditions, when hostilities are developing exclusively at high rates, are characterized by extreme tension and abrupt changes in the situation, only a commander-in-chief, endowed with great powers, is able to direct the efforts of his subordinates to successfully complete the assigned task. That is why the platoon (squad, tank) commander has full and personal responsibility for combat readiness, preparation of the platoon (squad, tank), weapons, military equipment for battle and the successful completion of a combat mission in a timely manner, as well as for education, military discipline, psychological training and political and moral state of personnel.

The main indicators of the effectiveness of the management system are considered to be the following:

• a) time indicators:
  • - the speed of obtaining, collecting, analyzing, generalizing and evaluating the situation data, making and formalizing decisions, communicating tasks to subordinates in a timely manner and planning a battle;
  • - the speed of response of command and control bodies to changes in the situation in the course of hostilities;
  • - the time spent on restoring the system of interaction, command and control and combat capability of subunits after the enemy has inflicted a massive strike with high-precision weapons;
• b) qualitative indicators the effectiveness of the management system:
  • - the ability of command and control bodies to achieve accurate and timely fulfillment of assigned combat missions;
  • - Achievement of reliable fire destruction of the enemy to the entire depth of its location;
  • - ensuring the continuity of the leadership of subunits during the entire battle;
  • - management stability;
  • - high efficiency in the work of commanders and staffs, their ability to preempt the enemy in striking, timely rebuild the control system, adapt it to changes in the situation;
  • - ensuring the secrecy of management.
