Strategic Deployment: Mobilizing and Moving the Force
Abstract
The transition of the Soviet armed forces from a peacetime to a wartime footing and the creation and concentration of combined arms groupings for the conduct of military operations are processes affected directly and fundamentally by evolving Soviet perceptions of the nature of the future war. The complex of plans, preparations and resources integral to this process-which the Soviets designated strategic deployment -has undergone sweeping change over the past 30 years and could be substantially modified as a consequence of continuing technological change, large-scale force restructuring and conventional arms reductions in Europe. In what now constitutes an extensive and growing body of material assessing the nature of strategic deployment for war, Soviet planners point to ways in which requirements for mobilizing and moving the armed forces have changed, and are changing, this basic issue of strategy.
