Soviet Intermediary Strategic C2 Entities - The Historical Experience

Abstract

Soviet strategic ground force disposition and employment is reflective of a set of geo-strategic concepts. Historically, strategic command and control of these deployed forces was highly centralized at the Moscow level with the General Staff functioning as the executive agent. For various reasons, the Soviets have employed a variety of intermediary control entities that interfaced between Moscow and the deployed front commands. This study presents the Soviet WWII experience with these intermediary strategic C2 entities. The current applicability of this historical experience is assessed.
