Tactics and Training of the Firing Battery in the Soviet Field (TUBE) Artillery.

Abstract

This paper examines some of the tactics and training techniques currently employed by the Soviet field artillery (tube) at the battery level. All information presented has been extracted from Soviet military sources and has been compiled with the intent to give the US field artilleryman a basic understanding of the tactics and training techniques utilized by his Soviet counterpart. Having focused on several of the more obvious conceptual differences at the battery level, it is intended that the information presented will better equip those reading the study to evaluate Soviet small unit field artillery operations, tactics and training.
