Soviet Maintenance Support for a Motorized Rifle Battalion,

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a concise study of a key facet of logistics of a Soviet mechanized unit, the Soviet motorized rifle battalion. Presented are the doctrine, organization, and operations of the Soviets use to maintain a motorized rifle batallion. This system which is developed has the potential for maintaining that battalion. This is the result of a strong defense oriented geo-resource production base. It is also the result of an emphasis on simplicity in the mobile, forward support of the motorized rifle battalion. Finally, the potential for effective support is in no small part due to the orientation on experiences gained from the Second World War.
