THE TREND towards the integration of the efforts of various forces and means during combat operations of ground forces is clearly visible in the history of wars: the number of participants in army operations as they develop scientific and technological progress increases. How the issues related to the combat use of various forces and means during the conduct of a modern army operation should be presented in the decision of the army commander is the topic of this article.

The combined-arms nature of an army operation is manifested in the fact that the army commander uses various forces and means in this operation within the framework of one decision, subordinating their actions to his personal will (see figure). We proceed from this fundamental position in our further reasoning. Firstly, the issues of using combat assets in an operation should not be considered separately (for example, tank, motorized rifle troops, missile forces and artillery, aviation, air defense troops, etc.), but as an integral part of a single decision on its implementation. Secondly, the decision can be conditionally divided into a “combined arms” part, which concerns all participants in the operation, and into elements related to a specific branch of the armed forces (branch of the Armed Forces).

Structure of forces and means of conducting a modern army operation

Thus, we will take as a basis the list of activities that determine the sequence and content of the work of the army commander, headquarters and heads of military branches, special troops and decision-making services, set out in the relevant combat documents. Despite the obviousness of this statement, in the practice of training troops and educational process Academies of the Ground Forces also have other approaches.

The most common of them, apparently, is a consequence of the fact that the commanders of combined arms armies for the most part believe that the most important elements of the decision on an operation should contain only issues of the combat use of tank and motorized rifle troops, and their combat operations are “superimposed” by the use of other funds. Of course, tank and motorized rifle troops are the main means of conducting an army operation, the main one, but not the only one, and this approach clearly does not correspond to the combined arms nature of the combat operations of the Ground Forces in modern conditions.

The essence of the other approach is that the decision-making on the combat use of a particular weapon is isolated into an independent process and organized in the image and likeness of preparing an army operation. This is especially typical for aviation, which for a long time came at the disposal of the combined arms commander only at the rank of branch of the Armed Forces, which isolated it from other forces and means. Moreover, without sufficient grounds for this modern conditions the experience of the Great Patriotic War, where the organization of aviation combat operations was carried out mainly at the front level. A similar trend is observed in the organization of the use of forces and means. technical support, which, moreover, do not belong to combat.

To make the conversation substantive, let's turn to specific example- the use of aviation in an army operation, the use of which is very poorly reflected in the governing documents.

The commander's job of making a decision (after understanding the problem) begins with assessment of the situation. Since a modern operation is of a combined arms nature, this work should be considered in the form of component parts, one of which relates to all participants in the operation, and the others to the means used. Thus, as far as aviation is concerned, when assessing the situation in the interests of its combat use, the following questions should be reflected:

when assessing the enemy - the composition, position, nature of the functioning of enemy objects hit by aviation; the position of reserves, the presence of barrier lines on the probable routes of their advance, where front-line aviation strikes to deny enemy maneuvers are most effective; the composition of the enemy air defense group as the most powerful means influencing the result of the use of aviation;

when assessing your troops - a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the flight resource; spatial and temporal indicators of aviation capabilities; its capabilities for engaging the enemy by fire, solving reconnaissance, airborne and special missions;

when assessing the terrain, time, as well as other factors influencing the performance of a combat mission - the elevation of the terrain of the upcoming combat operations above sea level and temperature regime that have a significant impact on the capabilities of Ground Forces aviation to carry out missions in an operation; time of sunrise and sunset (change of time of day); forecast weather conditions for the period of the operation.

As is known, in the course of assessing the situation, the main provisions of the plan for the operation are formulated, which, based on the combined arms nature of a modern army operation, must contain the idea of ​​​​using the main (combat) forces and means.

As a participant in an army operation, aviation is primarily a means of fire. Consequently, the idea of ​​its combat use should be reflected in that point of the plan where the order of fire destruction of the enemy is determined, and the most important element decisions on an operation for the combat use of aviation should be determining the order of its application in fire defeat of the enemy(as an element of the army commander’s plan). According to the existing practice of operational training of the Ground Forces, the plan of the commander of a combined arms army contains the distribution of flight resources among army tasks, which, in our opinion, is unlawful: such an approach is unreasonably adopted from the decision of the commander of the air army, where he thus determines the task on which it is necessary to concentrate the main aviation efforts. In addition, at the stage of forming a plan, the army commander is unlikely to be able to obtain a reasonable distribution of flight resources (except perhaps intuitively, since by calculation methods it can only be obtained during the planning of an operation).

The idea of ​​using other troops can be expressed in the following elements of the plan: for tank, motorized rifle and airborne troops - in the method and sequence of defeating the enemy, the operational formation of the army; for missile troops and artillery, air defense troops, as well as engineering troops and NBC protection troops (in that part where they act as participants in complex fire destruction) - similar to aviation, i.e. the order of their use in the fire defeat of the enemy.

The combined arms part of the plan (i.e., what concerns all participants in the operation) should include its first point - the direction of concentration of the main efforts and the areas on which the stability of the defense depends (for a defensive operation); direction of the main and other attacks (for offensive and counter-offensive operations).

Due to the fact that the main aviation group is part of the front forces (air army, front-line aviation of the Ground Forces) and in the interests of the army conducting the operation, aviation carries out a fairly large number of fire missions, there is a need to develop such an element of the solution as accounting aviation actions according to the plans of the senior command. This accounting is carried out during the development of a plan (as a rule, in the order of fire defeat of the enemy), as well as when determining tasks for the troops.

Continuing work on the remaining elements of the solution, the army commander usually determines the tasks of subordinate formations and units, and the chief of staff - the tasks of fire and nuclear destruction of the enemy. Deputies and chiefs of military branches, special troops and services make detailed calculations of proposals for the use of subordinate troops and services. These are the requirements of the current governing documents. However, the advisability of dividing the assigned tasks (for troops - the commander, fire destruction - for the chief of staff) raises doubts. The famous Suvorov battle formula “maneuver, fire, strike” is apparently also valid for the operation. Its inalienable integral part is a fire defeat of the enemy, and defining his tasks in isolation from the tasks of the troops will most likely reduce the quality of the decision made. Moreover, existing guidance documents require the combined arms commander to make a single decision.

The same documents indicate that in his decision, the army commander determines combat missions for the troops, and tasks for the main types of support, if necessary.

A relevant question is: what aviation tasks are classified as combat - fire, reconnaissance, transport and landing, special? The answer seems to be clear: only fire and airborne, since all the rest are carried out in terms of supporting combat operations in the operation. Even reconnaissance is a type of operational support, but still.

Thus, in his decision, the army commander indicates to aviation, as a rule, only fire missions and tactical airborne landing tasks, and the rest is the prerogative of the heads of the military branches and services.

It should be noted that as part of the solution, aviation tasks are determined for the operation as a whole, based on which they do not indicate specific sorties of aviation units and subunits. Here, as a rule, only what they must perform at a particular stage of the operation is indicated, as well as the method for performing these tasks. And only when setting tasks (which for aviation, according to current governing documents, is done only for the coming day or day, night) will one or another aviation task in an operation be expressed in a specific strike, and even then only for the first flight during this day, and in subsequent, as a rule, indicating the place and degree of readiness for combat operations when called.

As for other participants in the operation, aviation objectives are mapped onto a solution map and then detailed, supplemented and refined during the planning of the operation. Wherein symbols, plotted by aviation on the map, should be perceived only as its tasks, and not as the exact line (direction) of the strike (mining). Next to the symbol it is indicated who performs the task, the method and time of its completion.

In addition to the tasks for the troops, as part of the decision on the operation, the army commander determines the main issues of interaction and the organization of command and control.

Main issues of interaction include, as a rule, the establishment of the main time parameters that coordinate the actions of troops. For aviation, these may include: the time of relocation of helicopters and their readiness for combat operations, the time of group air strikes against predetermined targets, the time of introduction of one or another degree of readiness, the required duration of delay by front-line aviation of the enemy’s second echelons, etc.

Management organization provides for the provision of firm and continuous command and control of troops and, in relation to aviation, may include the following issues: time and location of the VzPU (as an element of the command post), as well as aviation control points, the order of their movement during the operation; organization and mode of operation of aviation control bodies during preparation and during the operation (timing of implementation of activities); measures to ensure the survivability of aviation control points, their security, defense, protection from precision weapons and electronic suppression of the enemy.

The decision of the army commander is drawn up on a map, on which, in the part relating to aviation, the following should be displayed: the basing of regular, transferred to operational subordination and supporting aviation (taking into account possible changes during the operation); the limits of its reach; tasks performed by front-line aviation and aviation of the Ground Forces in the interests of the army by decision of the senior commander; tasks assigned to aviation for an operation by the army commander; Locations of aviation control points. In addition, the map should show the distribution of flight resource, obtained on the basis of only general planning fire defeat of the enemy. Therefore, it is indicated in the general table of distribution of firepower available to the army commander for the conduct of the operation.

In the practice of operational training and the educational process of the Ground Forces academies, difficulties arise with the name of the elements of the decision related to a particular means of conducting an army operation. In relation to aviation, the evolution of these names is as follows: the decision to use aviation in a defensive (offensive, counter-offensive) operation of the army; decision on a defensive (offensive, counter-offensive) operation of the army as it relates to aviation; decision on a defensive (offensive, counter-offensive) operation of the army regarding the use of aviation. Preference, in our opinion, should be given to the third: the first creates the impression that there is a separate solution for the use of aviation; the second is cumbersome and difficult to hear.

Thus, components The army commander's decisions on an aviation operation should be considered: the procedure for using aviation to engage the enemy by fire as an element of the plan; aviation tasks defined by it as part of the solution; elements of the organization of command and control related to aviation.

The foregoing in no way belittles the importance of such elements of preparation for an operation as the organization of interaction and comprehensive support for combat operations (as well as supporting forces and means). But, in our opinion, it is premature to load the commander’s decision with them. Firstly, this is a requirement of the governing documents; secondly, the capabilities of the army commander, who bears sole responsibility for the decision made, are not unlimited, and the quality of this decision, given the recommended volume, will undoubtedly improve.

Based on the proposed approach, the content of the elements of the decision relating to other participants in the army operation can be determined, and the decision of the army commander as a whole can be formulated.

In the future, judgments about an army operation fully apply to a corps operation.

This is not about organizing combat operations of forces and means (such an approach is quite legitimate there), but about reflecting the issues of their combat use in the army commander’s decision on an operation.

· clarification of the task received;

· assessment of the situation;

· decision-making;

· conducting reconnaissance;

· issuing a combat order;

· organization of interaction, combat support and management;

· organization of training of personnel, weapons and equipment for combat;

· checking the readiness of the platoon to perform a combat mission;

· report to the company commander on the readiness of the platoon to perform a combat mission.

Understanding the received task, the platoon commander must:

· understand the mission of the company and platoon;

· what objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon’s operations are hit by the means of senior commanders;

· tasks of neighboring units and the procedure for interaction with them;

· time of readiness to perform a task.

Based on an understanding of the mission, the platoon commander usually determines:

· the place and role of the platoon in the mission performed by the company; what objects (targets) need to be hit by platoon weapons;

· at what stage of the battle and with which of the neighboring units it is necessary to maintain the closest interaction;

· how to build a battle formation;

· how much time is available to organize the battle and how best to distribute it.

When assessing the situation, the platoon commander studies:

· the composition, position and possible nature of the enemy’s actions, the location of his fire weapons;

· condition, security and capabilities of the platoon and attached units;

· composition, position, nature of actions of neighbors and conditions of interaction with them;

· the nature of the terrain, its protective and camouflage properties, advantageous approaches, barriers and obstacles, conditions for observation and firing;

· time of year, day and weather condition.

As a result of assessing the situation, the platoon commander determines:

What strength of the enemy is expected in front of the platoon’s front of action, its strengths and weak sides, possible balance of forces and means;

· platoon combat order, combat missions for squads (tanks), distribution of forces and assets;

· at what stage of the battle and with which of the neighbors to maintain the closest interaction;

· the procedure for camouflage and use of the protective properties of the area.

Understanding the given task and assessing the situation are stages of the platoon commander's thought process in making a decision. The result of this process is the selection of the most appropriate solution for the battle. In a decision, the platoon commander usually determines:

· methods of accomplishing the task received (which enemy, where and by what means to defeat; the measures used to deceive him);

· tasks for squads (tanks), assigned units and fire weapons;

· organization of management.

When determining how to perform a given task, the platoon commander must take into account what he expresses main idea decisions, being, as it were, his plan for the battle. Therefore, it should reflect the sequence of destruction of the enemy, the order of hitting him with fire from regular and assigned means, and the formation of a battle formation.
Combat missions for squads (tanks) are determined strictly in accordance with the order in which the task assigned to the platoon is completed. Thus, in defense, the task of a squad is to firmly hold the specified position and prevent enemy tanks and infantry from breaking through it into depth. During an offensive, the squad's combat mission is to destroy enemy manpower and firepower in the direction of its advance.
When determining the organization of control, the platoon commander outlines the procedure for using radio and signal communications, the procedure for acting on warning signals, control and interaction; place of your KNP. An important stage in the work of a platoon commander is reconnaissance, which is carried out in order to clarify the decision made on the ground. Not only squad (tank) commanders, but in some cases also driver mechanics (drivers) can be involved in it.
When conducting reconnaissance, the platoon commander on the ground indicates landmarks, the position of the enemy (the direction of his actions, the location of his fire weapons), clarifies the tasks of the squads (tanks) and indicates the locations of the squad positions, firing positions of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tanks and other fire weapons ( dismounting locations for motorized rifle units, advance route, etc.).
The platoon commander's adoption of an expedient decision to fight does not in itself ensure the successful completion of the resulting combat mission. The decision becomes the basis for managing squads (tanks) and the law for subordinates only when each of them receives a specific combat mission. Therefore, timely communication to the performers of combat missions is one of the most important responsibilities of a platoon commander.
When organizing a battle, combat missions are communicated to subordinates, as a rule, in the form of a combat order. The platoon leader must present it concisely, clearly, and in such a way that his subordinates clearly understand their mission.
In the combat order, the platoon commander indicates:

· landmarks;

· the composition, position and nature of the enemy’s actions, the location of his fire weapons;

· mission of the company and platoon;

· objects and targets in the direction of the platoon’s operations, which can be hit by means of senior commanders, as well as the tasks of neighbors;

· combat missions to squads (tanks), assigned units and fire weapons, and the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, in addition, to a sniper and rifleman-medic and others;

· time of readiness to perform a task;

· his place and deputy.

After setting combat missions, the platoon commander gives instructions on interaction, which are a specification of the order of interaction determined by him in the decision. At the same time, he must coordinate the efforts of regular and assigned fire weapons to successfully complete the assigned task, achieve a correct and uniform understanding by all squad (tank) commanders combat mission and methods of its implementation, as well as indicate warning signals, control, interaction and the procedure for action on them.
Along with instructions for interaction, the platoon commander also organizes combat support. Depending on the current situation and the nature of the upcoming battle, the platoon commander gives instructions on the implementation of the necessary combat support measures, and above all on the organization of reconnaissance, protection against weapons of mass destruction, incendiary weapons and precision weapons, engineering equipment of positions, camouflage and security. The organization of combat support is carried out in the form of issuing individual instructions as necessary.
When organizing control, the platoon commander clarifies (communicates) radio data and the procedure for using radio and signal communications to the squad (tank) commanders. When a motorized rifle platoon operates on foot, as well as in cases where work on radio stations is prohibited, the platoon commander must provide for control options using communications and signals.
Control of a unit in combat is based on the commander's firm confidence that his subordinates are capable of successfully completing the assigned task. Such confidence comes from the level of training, initiative and creativity of each soldier and sergeant individually and their high personal responsibility for fulfilling the combat mission.
Trusting his subordinates, the platoon commander, at the same time, possessing great knowledge and experience, constantly monitors the progress of the units’ preparation for battle and, if necessary, must provide assistance to them at any time. The purpose of control on the part of the platoon commander is to check the readiness of subordinates for battle while simultaneously providing them with practical assistance. As a rule, the platoon commander exercises control by listening to reports from his subordinates, as well as by checking the progress of preparatory activities for battle. At the same time, he draws attention to technical condition infantry fighting vehicles (armored personnel carriers, tanks), refueling them with fuel, lubricants and replenishing ammunition, preparing weapons for firing and bringing ammunition into a fully equipped form, knowledge by subordinates of their combat missions, as well as warning signals, control, interaction and procedures for them .
The platoon commander reports to the company commander about readiness for battle at the appointed time.

24. Points of the platoon commander’s combat order for organizing the battle.

Setting combat missions subordinate and supporting units (fire weapons, personnel) are carried out by issuing combat orders and instructions on the types of comprehensive support personally by the commander orally and by technical means communications. Problem setting is usually carried out on the ground.

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

in the first paragraph - landmarks;

in the second paragraph - brief conclusions from the enemy’s assessment;

in the third paragraph - combat personnel, tasks of the senior commander and platoon (squad, tank) with clarification 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 commander;

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

in the sixth paragraph after the word "I order"- combat missions for elements of the combat order (units, fire weapons, personnel) with clarification of their combat strength;

in the seventh paragraph - the timing of the implementation of measures to prepare for battle (execution

received task) and readiness time;

in the eighth paragraph - your place and deputy.

Making a decision by the battalion commander to go on the offensive against the defending enemy on the move

1. Understanding the task, assessing the situation

a) Understanding the problem received

When understanding the received task, the battalion commander must understand:

the purpose of the upcoming actions;

the senior commander's plan (especially the method of defeating the enemy);

the task, place in the order of battle and the role of the battalion in battle;

the tasks of neighbors and the procedure for organizing interaction with them;

time of readiness to perform a task.

Purpose of upcoming actions

The goal of the upcoming actions of the 8th mechanized brigade is to prepare and conduct an offensive in order to defeat the enemy in the VITINO zone (7144), Mount MAKHOVAYA (7743) and capture the DURDINO line. BOGUSHEVSK.

The purpose of the upcoming actions of 1st Bomb is to prepare and conduct an offensive in order to defeat the enemy in the forest area (74435), high. Bezymyannaya (74464), high. 168 (7543) and the capture of the border Mount CASINO (7448), Kurgan (75473).

2. The brigade commander’s battle plan, especially the order and methods of defeating the enemy

The brigade commander's battle plan is as follows: having delivered the main blow in the direction of SMOLYANA (7543), MOKSHAN (7549), using the results of enemy fire and air strikes, suppress and destroy enemy manpower and firepower in strong points at heights 143, 142, 168, 158; artillery in firing positions and reserves in the high area. 106, with an attack on the move, complete the destruction of enemy units in the high area. 143 (7243), Makhovaya mountain, h. 158 (7446) and continue to advance in the direction of MOKSHAN, BOGUSHEVSK. In the interests of 1 omb in the direction of attack, it is planned to hit: a 155 mm SG artillery battery in the area of ​​​​the edge of the forest (75478), a min. company in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe stream (74459), KNP Btgr on the edge of the forest (75458), manpower and firepower in the military area in areas with centers: forest (74435), forest (74433), high. 168 (75432), h. 158 (74469).

Thus, the targets for destruction by fire weapons of the battalion and squadron will be the command posts of companies, platoons, infantry, tanks and PTS of the enemy, as well as weapons and weapons identified during the battle.

3. Mission, place in the battle order and role of the battalion in battle

1 omb from the sadn advance in the first echelon of the brigade, in cooperation with 1/3 of the brigade and 3/2 of the omb, attacking on foot on foot and destroying the enemy in the area of ​​​​the road (74435), high. 168 (75432), bend of the road (74459) and to “H”+1.00 takes over the bend of the road (74458), elevation. 129 (75451). Subsequently, developing the offensive in cooperation with 2 bombs, destroys the enemy in the western area. edge of the forest (74455), north. edge of the forest (75461), high. Bezymyannaya (74464), repels a counterattack of brigade reserves and by “H” + 2.00 captures the high line. 175 (7448), mound (75473), subsequently continues to advance in the direction of elevation. 158 (74481), MOKSHAN (75495).

4. Tasks of neighbors and the procedure for organizing interaction with them

During the fire support of the attack, support the attacking motorized rifle and tank companies using a single PSO method to the depth of defense of the first echelon battalion along three lines (No. 1 - “Wolf”: 111, 112, 113; No. 2 - “Tiger”: 211, 212; No. 3 - “Lion”: 311, 312).

msr supports 1 batr, 2 msr - 2 batr. The entry into battle of the second echelon of the battalion will be supported by concentrated artillery fire. division on call.

When repelling counterattacks of enemy battalion and brigade reserves, defeat the counterattacking enemy with barrage and concentrated artillery fire (SO: Ts 206, 402, NZO "BUK", NZO "Akatsia").

Main area of ​​firing positions: road, bridge, separate building. In the main OP area, for each battery, prepare two OPs for maneuver within the area. Extension route LYKOVO, REZDOVO, bridge. Start point at 1.00 7.04.

Ready time to open fire 6.00 7.04:

mortar battery, during the period of fire preparation for the attack, suppress the enemy’s manpower and fire weapons in the platoon strong point at a height. from elevation 142, on the southern slopes of heights. Unnamed (SO A 11, A 12). During fire support of the attack, destroy identified targets with concentrated fire and OOC on call.

When repelling an enemy counterattack, be ready to defeat motorized infantry and tanks together with concentrated fire from A-21, A-32, and the Bereza NZO when called.

Prepare firing positions 500 m east. high 139 (7441).

The promotion will be carried out jointly with the sadn.

Ready time to open fire 6.00 7.04.

the anti-tank platoon should move beyond the battalion control point 500 m in readiness to repel enemy counterattacks from the directions BEZDOROG, SMOLYANY; KOLOVO, high. 142.

Possible areas for deployment of anti-tank systems: No. 1 - edge of the grove, road; No. 2 - edge of the forest, stream.

Signals for reaching the lines: No. 1 - “Tide-1”, No. 2 - “Tide-2”;

To exit the lines: No. 1 - “Ebb tide-1”, No. 2 - “Ebb tide-2”.

After completing the task, move forward in the prescribed order.

anti-aircraft platoon - to conduct reconnaissance of enemy air. In the initial area, cover the battalion units from air strikes; during the advance to the RPA, move forward in the battalion column in the following order: 1st squad - behind the battalion headquarters, 2nd squad - behind the 1st MSR, 3rd squad - behind the 2nd MSR. During the offensive, the platoon operates behind the battle formations of the first echelon companies at a distance of up to 200 m, conducts continuous reconnaissance of the enemy air force and, with fire on the move or with short stops, covers the attacking units from air strikes.

the engineer platoon moves behind the battalion headquarters in readiness to make passages in the cost center using the established remote method and obstacles, to expand the passages in the cost center and ensure the advancement of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles through obstacles. During the offensive, the ISV advances behind the battle formations of the first echelon companies in readiness to expand the passages into the enemy's cost center in the depths of the defense.

I organize interaction in three periods:

when the battalion moves to the line of attack;

for the period of attack and execution of the immediate task;

for the duration of the next task.

In the first period from “H”_____ to “H”_____.

a) clarify: the order of advance of sadn and minbatr, occupation and equipment of firing positions by them; the procedure for advancing and deploying a battalion to the line of transition to an attack and their actions in the event of an enemy launching nuclear or air strikes on the column, as well as during counter-preparations;

measures to combat enemy sabotage groups.

b) coordinate: artillery fire, means allocated for direct fire to support the actions of battalion units during advancement and deployment; At “H”____ the head of the battalion column will pass the starting point, the artillery should be ready to open fire; In “H” _____ the fire preparation for the attack begins; during fire raids, the planned targets are hit by means of senior commanders, attached soldiers, and battalion ministries; at “H”___ the battalion begins to deploy into company columns; during the third ON “Ch”___ artillery fires at the objects of the first ON, engineering units make passages with extended mine clearing charges; the battalion, continuing its advance to the RPA, deploys into platoon columns to “Ch”___, assumes a battle formation and, by the end of the artillery preparation, “Ch”-0.05 reaches the line of going on the attack.

In the second period, from “H” -0.05 to “H” + 1.00, coordinate the actions of the first echelon MRF with each other, with artillery fire and with neighbors when overcoming the enemy’s cost center, attacking the front line of defense, and defeating MPRTG units.

At “H” -0.05, the first echelon companies will go to the RPA, and the artillery will go to fire support for the attack; msr overcome minefields along passages in the battle line and quickly attack the enemy. When they reach the line of safe removal from the explosions of their shells, at my “Roll” signal, the artillery transfers fire into the depths; exactly at “H”, tanks and motorized rifles will break into the enemy’s anti-aircraft defense and fire on the move to complete the defeat of the enemy’s manpower and firepower in the military defense area on the front line and continue the attack in depth; destruction of the enemy in a strong point at a height. Bezymyannaya, in close cooperation with the right-flank company, the 2nd omb is carried out by a frontal attack by the 2nd mr and tr, destroying the enemy in a strong point on high. from elevation 142 is carried out by a frontal attack by 2 msr and a flank attack by 1 msr. To capture an enemy stronghold with the center - a separate structure, attack on the flank of the 1st MRR and from the front by the 2nd MRR with the support of artillery fire and using smoke to blind the enemy; possible counterattack of enemy reserves from the direction of KOLOVO, mark. 142 is reflected by the fire of the attached sadn and regular minbatr and 1 msr with TV fire from the place in cooperation with tr 3 otb; with the completion of the immediate task by the battalion, begin moving to new OP minbattery and attached garden, battery-wise.

For the period of completing the further task from “H” + 1.00 to “H” + 2.00.

a) Establish: the order of entry into battle of the second echelon of the battalion.

With the 1st and 2nd MSR reaching the line, increase the gap between the flanks. At this gap, 3 MRR in battle formation from the line of the stream (74468), field road (75468) is brought into battle; artillery continues to suppress the enemy in front of the battalion front at the indicated targets.

With the entry into battle of the second echelon in the battalion reserve, appoint MSV 1 MSR.

b) Coordinate: the actions of companies, artillery, combat helicopters and neighbors to repel a counterattack of enemy reserves.

By “H” + 2.00 the battalion is performing a further task in readiness to ensure the possible entry into battle of the second echelon of the brigade and continue the offensive.

I carry out control from the command post of the battalion, which will be located when advancing to the deployment line in company columns at the head of the battalion, before the attack at an altitude of 1 km west. SMOLYANY, during the battle - for 2 msr.

Decision making includes determination of the plan of action, combat missions (tasks) for units and elements of the combat (marching) order, basic issues of interaction, comprehensive support and control.

The beginning The sequence of decision-making by the company commander should be considered the clarification of the received task from the senior commander, which is carried out in order to study the initial data for organizing tactical actions.

This element is carried out during work with the senior commander when applying a combat mission to the company commander’s work map.

In clarifying the mission, the commander must understand: the purpose of the upcoming actions; the place and role of the company in the combat (marching) order of the senior commander; combat mission of the battalion (company); objects (targets) in the direction of the company's operations, hit by the senior commander; neighbors' tasks; guidelines and signals assigned by the senior superior (if any were indicated); deadlines for the company's readiness to carry out a combat mission (task) and other data.

Based on understanding the problem, conclusions are drawn, in the interests of the solution in which the following are determined:

The first element of the decision is “Combat Plan”- direction of concentration of main efforts;

The sequence of performing tactical tasks that will ensure the achievement of the goal of action;

When the mission is clarified, the company commander plots on the map the position of the enemy and his fire weapons; battalion mission; tasks of neighbors and interacting units, area of ​​responsibility; tasks solved by the efforts and resources of the senior commander, and other data.

Timing to prepare for actions, includes the main activities of organizing actions, preparing units for upcoming actions, practical work commander in subordinate units and the timing of their implementation.

During the calculation of time, the commander determines the time indicators for making a decision on the map and clarifying it on the ground

The initial data for calculating time are: time of receipt of the combat mission (task); deadlines for readiness to complete the task, readiness of the fire system, report of the decision (plan) to the senior commander; field work and others.

The company time calculation is signed by the company commander.

During orientation To the commanders of his subordinates, in the interests of developing combat documents, the company commander communicates: information about the enemy; content of the received task; timing; brief conclusions from understanding the problem; deadlines for the development of combat documents.

The bulk of the decision-making process involves assessing the situation.

Assessing the situation carried out by the company commander personally. To the decision-making process (especially during the assessment of the state of his units and weapons and military equipment) the company commander Maybe involve platoon commanders, senior technicians and company sergeants. Officials Those involved in decision-making, at the request of the company commander, report their proposals, necessary explanations, certificates, and data.

Situation assessment includes:

- enemy assessment(combat strength, position, capabilities, likely nature of actions and the most important objects (targets) to hit);

- assessment of their units(position, condition and capabilities, allocated number of missiles and ammunition to complete the task);

- assessment of neighbors(position, tasks and order of interaction with them);

- terrain assessment in the area of ​​upcoming actions (the nature of the terrain, protective and camouflage properties of the terrain, observation and firing conditions, condition of roads, off-road patency, and so on);

- carrying out the necessary calculations;

- assessment time of year, day and other factors affecting the completion of the task.

Conclusions are drawn for each element of the situation assessment according to the tactical tasks performed and elements of the solution.

It should be noted that the most trained company commanders assess the situation not element by element, but comprehensively. Thus, when assessing the enemy, one should simultaneously assess the terrain, time of year and weather. This approach to assessing the situation will reduce the time for making a decision and reduce errors in the elements of the decision.

Based enemy and terrain assessments the company commander develops the first element of the decision - "The concept of the battle» in which the commander determines: the direction of concentration of the main efforts; ways to complete the task received; combat (marching order).

The specific content of the plan depends on the type of action.

Assessment of staff, attached units and locality forms the basis for his definition of combat missions. First, the company commander must calculate the ratio of his forces and assets and the enemy in the company’s zone of action (strong point). This will determine the overall potential combat capability of the company as a whole. Then carry out calculations of the balance of forces and means in the directions of action of subordinate units. This allows you to produce calculation of the distribution of forces and means among the elements of the battle order and assign combat missions to subordinates to defeat (repel an attack) the enemy.

The tasks of the units (elements of the combat (marching) order) and their content are determined to the same extent as they will be carried out when they are set, depending on the type of action.

Subsequently, the company commander begins to determine the main issues of interaction: tactical tasks, according to which interaction and the sequence of their implementation will be organized; the forces and means involved for this; time, place and method of organizing interaction.

The company commander enters these questions into the planned interaction table and makes calculations on his work map: ; time of advance to various lines (points), occupation of regions, etc.

On the main issues of comprehensive provision actions are determined: directions of concentration of main efforts by types of comprehensive support; main tasks in combat, moral-psychological, logistical and medical support during preparation and during operations; deadlines for their implementation; the forces and means involved to solve them. If necessary, the company commander can involve platoon commanders, senior technicians and company sergeants in this work.

In basic management issues the following are determined: the place and time of deployment of the command observation post (the place of the command vehicle (commander) in combat (march) order); directions and order of its movement; the procedure for transferring control in the event of failure of the commander's command and observation post; measures to restore directional control.

Official registration of the company commander's work card. Contents of the company commander's decision on the work map.

The official registration of a company commander’s work card includes:

Service header (Commander's work card ___ tr for the offensive);

Under the service heading, the start and end time of maintaining a work card;

At the bottom, the position, military rank and surname of the commander are formalized;

Below the title and surname is the scale of the map;

In the upper right corner there is a secrecy stamp;

Commander's decision company is drawn up on a work card.

It displays:

The position, composition and probable nature of the enemy's actions;

Combat mission (task) of the company;

Tasks of neighbors and dividing lines with them (directions of their actions);

Tasks performed by the senior commander in the company's area of ​​operations;

Action plan;

Tasks of subordinate units;

Places and times of deployment of control posts;

Main issues of interaction, main tasks of comprehensive support, management;

Table of warning signals, control, interaction, identification and target designation;

Necessary calculations and explanations.

In addition, areas, routes, milestones and the time of their passage (concentration), the construction of marching order and other necessary data in relation to the type of action are plotted.
