Soviet Small Unit Defensive Tactics.

Abstract

In this paper, the author examines the defensive tactics of the Soviet Motorized Rifle Company and Motorized Rifle Battalion in an effort to provide insight into Soviet defensive doctrine. The paper is primarily concerned with the organization and conduct of the defense on the nuclear battlefield, but also examines the capabilities of the Soviets to conduct the defense under conditions of chemical or biological warfare as well. Although several inconsistencies exist between this paper and other Western sources, particularly with regard to the organization of the company and the battalion, these inconsistencies are simply noted either in the text or in footnotes, as an effort to reconcile them is deemed to be beyond the scope of the paper.
