The author presents substantial data from Soviet exercises and combat experiences since World War II, clearly showing that battalion battle groups have normally been constructed to possess a combined arms mix with increased combat power and maneuverability. Keywords: Combined arms battalion; Tactical force structure; Combat organization.
