Comments on FM 100-5 from A Soviet Point of View.

Abstract

Comments are presented on some similarities and differences between Soviet doctrine and the US doctrine as outlined in FM 100-5. The author uses exclusively Soviet sources both written and oral, and interpreted based on his extensive contact with Soviet Ground Forces personnel in the 1960s and 1970s to highlight some of the similarities and differences in US and Soviet military thinking. Using FM 100-5 as a vehicle, the writer of this paper proceeds chapter by chapter in sequence to emphasize many of the salient points in the manual and simultaneously provide the reader with considerable information regarding Soviet operations and tactics as well as a myriad of other minor but interesting details, observations and comments about the Soviet military.
