Unit management in battle. Basic provisions on covert command and control of troops. "Attention, do what I do"

38. The management of subunits (personnel) consists in the purposeful activity of the commander to maintain them in constant combat readiness, to prepare subunits (personnel, weapons and military equipment) for battle (to complete the task received) and to lead them in the performance of tasks.

Management must be stable, continuous, operational and hidden, ensure the constant combat readiness of subunits, efficient use their combat capabilities and the successful fulfillment of assigned tasks in a timely manner and in any conditions of the situation.

Management stability is achieved by: correct understanding of the task set by the senior chief; persistent implementation of the decisions taken; skillful organization of work on communications; maintaining stable communication with the senior chief, with subordinates and interacting units.

Continuity of management is achieved by: constant knowledge and comprehensive assessment of the current situation; timely decision-making and clear assignment of tasks to subordinates; skillful use of communication facilities; restoration of disturbed control in as soon as possible.

Efficiency of management is achieved by: quick response to changes in the situation; timely influence on the actions of subdivisions in the interests of fulfilling the assigned tasks.

Stealth control is achieved by: covert placement and movement of the command-observation post (the commander in battle formation); strict adherence to the rules and procedures for the use of communication facilities, established modes of their operation and radio masking measures; education of personnel in the spirit of high vigilance.

The management of subunits (firepower, personnel) is organized and carried out on the basis of the commander's decision.

39. The platoon (squad) commander manages subunits (personnel, crews) by radio, commands given by voice, signaling means, and by example. Inside the combat vehicle, the commander controls the actions of his subordinates with commands given over the intercom, voice, or established signals.

In defense, a command and observation post is created in a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon, which is deployed in a combat formation of a subunit so as to ensure its protection from small arms and mortar fire, the best observation of the enemy, the actions of its subordinates, neighbors and terrain, as well as continuous platoon control.

In an offensive, when a motorized rifle platoon is operating on foot, the platoon (squad) commander is located in a place that ensures effective control of subunits (subordinates) and fire.

To control subunits and fire, the senior chief establishes uniform control signals.

40. When working at radio stations, the rules of negotiation are strictly observed. In battle, all commands are transmitted by radio using a speech masker or in plain text... When sending commands in plain text, squad (tank) commanders are called by call signs, terrain points are indicated from landmarks and conventional names, and executive commands - by established signals. When the enemy creates radio interference, the radio stations, at the command of the company (platoon) commander, are rebuilt to reserve frequencies.

To transmit preset signals, signaling means are used: signal flares, flags, electric lights, searchlights of combat vehicles, tracer bullets (shells) and various sound means (electric and pneumatic signals, whistles, and others). Signals can be given with weapons, headgear and hands.

Units should only carry out signals from their immediate commander and circular alerts. They are served until a response (response) is received or the execution of a command (signal) begins.

When managing subunits (subordinate) signals, it must be remembered that the signal means unmask the location of the commander.

Personnel are alerted about an air enemy, an imminent threat and the beginning of the use of weapons of mass destruction by the enemy, as well as about radioactive, chemical and biological contamination, by single and permanent signals.

  • 41. Fire control is the most important responsibility of the platoon (squad, tank) commander. It includes: reconnaissance of ground and air targets, assessment of their importance and determination of the order of destruction; the choice of the type of weapon and ammunition, the type and method of firing (shooting); target designation, giving commands to open fire or setting fire missions; observation of the results of fire and its correction; control over the consumption of ammunition.
  • 42. To control the fire, the senior chief assigns uniform landmarks and signals. It is prohibited to replace them. If necessary, the platoon commander can additionally assign his own landmarks from the calculation of no more than five (on the direction of action of the squads, the borders of the strip and the additional sector of shelling). When reporting to the senior manager and maintaining interaction, only the reference points indicated by him are used.

Well-visible local objects are selected as landmarks. When using night sights, local objects with high reflectivity within the range of the sights are selected as landmarks. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along lines from oneself towards the enemy, and when organizing defense in a fortified area, they can be numbered from oneself in a spiral clockwise direction. One of them is designated as the main one. In addition to landmarks, well-visible local objects can be used to control fire.

  • 43. Reconnaissance of ground and air targets must ensure the detection of the enemy in front of the front and on the flanks of the platoon (squad, tank, firepower), and when performing tasks independently - in a circular sector. Reconnaissance of targets is conducted by all platoon personnel (squad, tank, crew) in designated sectors.
  • 44. Assessing the importance of targets consists in identifying enemy targets that can have the greatest impact on the course of a combat mission by a subunit. The order of their defeat is determined by the subunit commander, based on the assessment of the importance of the targets. First of all, anti-tank weapons, machine gun and mortar crews, snipers, artillery spotters, air gunners, command vehicles and commanders of enemy subunits are destroyed. The choice of means of destruction must ensure the destruction of reconnoitered targets.
  • 45. When setting (clarifying) fire missions, commanders indicate: to whom (to which unit), where (target designation), what (target name) and fire mission (destruction, suppression, destruction, or other).

Target designation can be carried out from landmarks (local objects) and from the direction of movement (attack), according to the azimuth index, tracer bullets and shells, from shell explosions, signaling means, as well as pointing devices and weapons at the target.

Correction of fire is carried out from the location of the target, landmarks (local objects) and explosions of shells, indicating the magnitude of the deviation in range and direction.

46. ​​Calling in and correcting fire of supporting artillery is carried out, as a rule, through the artillery commanders (spotters), and in their absence - personally by the platoon commander. When calling fire, the platoon leader indicates: the nature and location (number) of the target; shooting task (suppress, destroy, destroy, illuminate, smoke); the timing of the fire mission, and when adjusting the fire - the nature and location (number) of the target; the amount of deviation in range and direction.

Targeting to the crews of helicopters (aircraft) is usually carried out by order of the senior commander by designating the target site with small arms fire, armament of combat vehicles, tracer bullets (shells), as well as signal flares. The task of marking the target location is set in the same way as the firing task indicating the time of opening fire.

With the support of the battle of a platoon (squad, tank) by artillery fire, air strikes or other means of destruction, the commander must indicate the line of safe distance from the explosions of his shells (missiles, mines).

The basics of the commander's work in preparing the battle (performing the task received) and during it

  • 47. The preparation of the battle (fulfillment of the task received) includes: its organization; preparation of the platoon (squad (crew) personnel, weapons and military equipment) for battle (to complete the task received); practical work of the commander in subunits (work to control the execution of assigned tasks and provide assistance) and other activities.
  • 48. The work of the platoon commander in preparing for the battle (completing the task received), as a rule, begins after the orientation of the combat task received by the battalion (company) and the instructions of the senior commander for the implementation of measures that must be carried out immediately. Based on the orientation and the instructions received, the platoon commander sets tasks for training personnel, weapons and military equipment for the upcoming actions. At the same time, he indicates to the commanders of regular and attached units: what actions to be ready for; the timing, scope and procedure for the preparation of weapons and military equipment; time, place and procedure for replenishing stocks of missiles, ammunition and other materiel; the procedure for refueling cars with fuel and lubricants; the location of the battalion ammunition station and medical station (ammunition station and company medical station).

Organizing the execution of the instructions of the platoon commander, the squad (tank) commander indicates: the timing and procedure for the preparation of weapons and military equipment; time and procedure for replenishing stocks of missiles and ammunition, water supplies and other materiel; the location of the Rota's ammunition point and medical post and other issues. The crew of the combat vehicle are additionally indicated: type and volume Maintenance; measures to increase security and passability; time and order of refueling; the location of the refueling point.

  • 49. Organization of combat (accomplishment of the assigned task) of a platoon (squad, tank) begins with the receipt of a combat mission and includes: making a decision; reconnaissance (if necessary); setting combat missions; organization of interaction, comprehensive support and management. It is carried out, as a rule, on the ground, and if this is not possible - on a map (diagram) or on a terrain model. In this case, the subunit commander clarifies the combat missions for the squads (tanks, personnel) and the assets attached to them on the ground in the course of their occupation of positions (advancing them to the line of transition to the attack).
  • 50. The platoon (squad, tank) commander carries out the decision to fight (fulfillment of the task received) solely on the basis of understanding the task and assessing the situation.

Understanding the task, the commander must understand: the purpose of the forthcoming actions; tasks of the battalion (company) and platoon (platoon and squad (tank)); the plan of the senior commander (especially the methods of defeating the enemy); the landmarks assigned to him; which objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon (squad, tank) are affected by the means of senior commanders; tasks of the neighbors , the conditions of interaction with them, control signals, interaction and notification and the procedure for actions on them, as well as the time of readiness to perform the task.

The assessment of the situation is carried out taking into account the forecast of its development during the preparation and during the implementation of the task received. It consists in the study and analysis of factors and conditions affecting its implementation, and includes: an assessment of the enemy; assessment of subordinate units (fire weapons) and neighbors; assessment of the terrain, weather conditions, time of year, day and other factors affecting the implementation of the task received.

As a result of understanding the task received and assessing the situation, the commander determines the main stages of its implementation, the main content of which is tactical tasks.

In the decision, the platoon (squad, tank) commander determines: the battle plan (to accomplish the task received); tasks for elements of the battle formation (subunits, fire weapons, personnel); the main issues of interaction, comprehensive support and management. The solution is based on the concept.

When developing a plan, the commander must, according to the stages of the task received, determine: the sequence and methods of Actions, indicating the order of destruction (defeat) of the enemy by the fire of subunits (personnel), standard and attached fire weapons; distribution of forces and means (formation of combat (marching) order); ensuring secrecy in the preparation and implementation of the task received.

In the tasks of the elements of the battle order (subunits, fire weapons, personnel), the commander determines their combat composition, tasks performed, directions of action, assigned positions and other issues.

In the main issues of interaction, tasks are determined for which it is necessary to coordinate the efforts of the elements of the battle order (subunits, fire weapons, personnel) among themselves, with neighbors, as well as with the forces and means of the senior commander performing tasks in the interests of the platoon (squad, tank).

In the main issues of comprehensive support, the main measures for combat support and the procedure for implementing measures for moral, psychological, technical and logistic support, the sequence and timing of their implementation, the forces and means involved are determined.

In the main issues of control, the following are determined (specified): the place and time of the deployment of the command and observation post (the place of the commander in the battle formation); the procedure for the use of communication facilities in the preparation and in the course of performing the task received; the procedure for communicating control signals, interaction, notification, identification and transfer of control to the subordinate signals.

  • 51. Reconnaissance is a visual study of the enemy and the terrain in order to clarify the decision. It is carried out by the platoon commander with the involvement of subordinate commanders, and in some cases driver mechanics (drivers) and gunners of combat vehicles.
  • 52. The assignment of combat missions to subordinate and support subunits (fire weapons, personnel) is carried out by issuing combat orders and instructions on the types of comprehensive support by the commander personally, verbally and by technical means of communication. As a rule, the setting of tasks is carried out on the ground.

In a combat order, the platoon (squad, tank) commander indicates:

in the first paragraph - landmarks;

in the second point - summary conclusions from the assessment of the enemy;

in the third paragraph - the combat strength, the tasks of the senior commander and the platoon (squad, tank) with the specification of the number of missiles and ammunition allocated for the battle;

in the fourth paragraph - tasks performed in the interests of the unit by the forces and means of the senior chief;

in the fifth paragraph - the tasks of neighbors and interacting units;

in the sixth paragraph, after the word "I order" - combat missions to elements of the battle formation (subunits, fire weapons, personnel) with a specification of their combat strength;

in the seventh paragraph - the timing of measures to prepare for battle (to complete the task received) and the time of readiness;

in the eighth paragraph - his place and deputy.

  • 53. The commander of a motorized rifle (grenade launcher, anti-tank) platoon organizes interaction, all-round support and control with the involvement of commanders of regular and attached units, and the commander of a tank platoon - with all personnel.
  • 54. Interaction is organized according to the stages of accomplishment of the received task, directions of action, milestones and time. In the course of its organization, the subordinates are informed of warning signals, interaction, control and the procedure for action on them, as well as identification signals and methods of target designation and fire correction. In the presence of time, the order and methods of joint actions are practically worked out with subdivisions (personnel).

As a result of the organization of interaction, the commander must achieve a unified understanding by the commanders of the regular and attached subunits (fire weapons) of the task received and the methods of its implementation, the knowledge of all personnel of the warning signals, interaction, control and procedure for them.

  • 55. The organization of all-round support includes the organization of combat support and the organization of the implementation of measures for moral, psychological, technical, logistic support. In the instructions, the platoon (squad, tank) commander determines: the main measures of the type of comprehensive support, the time, place and procedure for their implementation, the forces and means involved, as well as the tasks of the subunits (personnel).
  • 56. When organizing control, the platoon (squad, tank) commander brings (clarifies) radio data and the procedure for using communication equipment, determines the procedure for monitoring the signals of the senior commander.
  • 57. The preparation of the platoon (personnel, weapons and military equipment) for the performance of the task received includes: replenishment of personnel, weapons and military equipment; replenishment of the stock of missiles, ammunition and other materiel to the established norms; refueling machines with fuel, lubricants and coolant; maintenance and preparation for the use (combat use) of weapons and military equipment; preparation of initial data for shooting and other activities. If necessary, events can be organized and carried out to coordinate subunits and combat groups, as well as exercises with personnel in relation to the nature of the upcoming actions.
  • 58. In the course of practical work, the platoon commander must hear and clarify the decisions of subordinates (if necessary), the tasks solved in their interests by the forces and means of the senior commander, and also make sure that the battle (fulfillment of the task received) is fully prepared and the subdivisions (personnel, weapons and military equipment) are ready to perform their assigned tasks.

In the course of work, the platoon leader must check the knowledge of all personnel of the opposing enemy; their tasks, methods and sequence of their implementation; the order of interaction; control signals, interaction, notification, identification and the order of actions on them; the quality of preparation of weapons, weapons and military equipment for use (combat use); the equipment of personnel, its provision with ammunition and other material means, their knowledge of the consumption rates, the size of the emergency stock and the procedure for replenishing ammunition in the course of the task.

In the course of his work, the platoon commander identifies existing problems, assists subordinates in eliminating the identified shortcomings, concentrating the main efforts on the implementation of the battle preparation measures (fulfillment of the task received) by the subordinate commanders in full.

If subordinates, weapons and military equipment are not ready to perform the assigned task, the commander is obliged to immediately report this to the senior commander.

59. Controlling a platoon (squad, tank) when performing assigned tasks consists in observing the results of actions and fire, clarifying the decision made in the current situation (methods and methods of accomplishing the assigned task), setting (clarifying) tasks for subdivisions (subordinates) and fire weapons.

Reporting to the senior commander and informing the neighbors about the situation constitute the most important duty of the platoon (squad, tank) commander in the performance of the assigned task. The report to the senior chief indicates: where and what task the unit performs; position of neighbors; the composition and nature of the enemy's actions.

The platoon (squad, tank) commander reports to the senior commander immediately: about a sudden enemy attack or his appearance where he was not expected; about the detected obstacles and areas of contamination; capture of prisoners, documents, weapons and equipment of the enemy; the use by the enemy of new means of warfare and methods of action; a sharp change in the enemy's actions (sudden withdrawal, transition to the defense, conducting a counterattack) and the position of neighbors, as well as the loss of interaction with them; every decision taken on its own initiative in connection with a change in the situation.

Chapter 3 Management Basics

50 ... Divisional management consists in purposeful activity battalion commander(company), his deputies, battalion headquarters to maintain constant combat readiness of subordinate units, timely prepare them for tactical actions (combat), firm and continuous leadership in solving assigned tasks.

The basis of control is the commander's decision.

The main goal of management is to ensure the maximum efficiency of the use (application) of the forces and means of the battalion (company) for the successful solution of tasks in any conditions of the situation.

51 ... The main tasks of management are:

providing by the battalion (company) commander, battalion headquarters operational, stable, continuous and covert leadership of subordinate units in the performance of assigned tasks;

ensuring constant collection (acquisition), study, display and analysis of situation data for the purpose of timely decision-making by the battalion (company) commander and subsequent communication of tasks to subordinate units; organizing and maintaining continuous interaction; organization and implementation of activities for comprehensive support; preparation of units for action and direct management of them; organization of control and assistance to subordinate commanders and subunits.

52 ... The management of subdivisions should be effective, sustainable, operational, continuous and hidden.

The effectiveness of command and control is expressed by the degree of use of the potential capabilities of the controlled military units and subunits in the interests of the successful and timely fulfillment of the tasks assigned to them.

Management stability is achieved by organizing and carrying out activities aimed at increasing its security and recoverability; careful camouflage and fortification equipment of command posts; creation of a reserve of forces and means of control.

Efficiency of control consists in anticipating the enemy in the adoption and implementation of decisions on the emerging situation. It is achieved by the constant combat readiness of the command and control bodies; high level of their vocational training; efficient operation of controls; timely decision-making on the current situation and the organization of actions.

Continuity of command and control consists in the commander's ability to constantly influence the course of combat operations: to assign tasks to subordinate units in a timely manner, to receive information from them about the evolving situation. It is achieved by the command of the battalion (company) commander and battalion headquarters in the situation, the proper functioning of communications equipment, and the knowledge of the established control signals by the personnel.

Concealment of control consists in concealing from the enemy the places in the battle formation of unit commanders and control signals. It is achieved by careful camouflage of the battalion (company) command post, the complex use of radio and wire communications, and the skillful management of subordinate signal facilities.

Chapter 4. Control system

53 ... A control system is a set of functionally and organizationally interconnected control bodies, control points and control facilities (communication systems, automation, as well as other special systems). The control system must have constant readiness to function, secrecy, stability and provide the ability to control units of a mechanized battalion in any conditions.

54 ... The secrecy of the control system is expressed in the ability to keep secret from the enemy the control system, all measures taken during the preparation and execution of tasks, to ensure the protection of information circulating in it, the areas where control points, lines and communication centers are located. The secrecy of the control system is ensured by the reliable camouflage of its elements from all types of enemy reconnaissance, by a certain procedure for using and operating modes of communication equipment, by protecting the information circulating in it.

55 ... The stability of the control system is understood as its ability to function successfully in any conditions of the situation. The stability of the management system is achieved by carrying out a set of measures of an organizational, technical and operational nature. These include: the creation of stationary (mobile) command posts, their corresponding equipment, placement, camouflage and correct movement; organization of the communication system and its use; increasing the survivability of command posts and communication systems; organization and implementation of measures for electronic protection radio electronic means control systems, increasing their noise immunity; active struggle against the means of electronic destruction of the enemy, their identification and destruction; the correct placement of forces and control facilities in military units and subunits of a mechanized brigade.

56 ... The organization of control consists in creating a control system that should ensure a high degree of combat readiness, stability and the possibility of both centralized and decentralized control of staff and attached units, the necessary degree of protection from the information influence of the enemy. The organizational and technical basis for the control of subunits, forces and means of a battalion (company) is a control system, which is a set of functionally interconnected command and control bodies (commanders), command and observation posts and command facilities. The control system must have high survivability, noise immunity, reliability and provide the possibility of both centralized and decentralized management of units.

57 ... The battalion's command and control bodies include the command headed by the battalion commander, the headquarters headed by the chief of staff, the deputies of the battalion commander for armaments and rear services with their own services, the company - the company commander, his deputies, as well as the command and control bodies of the attached subunits. The battalion headquarters is the main command body. He carries out his work on the basis of the decision and instructions of the commander, as well as orders of the higher headquarters.

58 ... The battalion (company) commander bears full and sole responsibility for combat readiness, training of subordinate units, their correct use, and their successful fulfillment of combat missions in a timely manner. He is obliged to make timely decisions on battle, assign tasks to subordinate units, organize interaction and all-round support, as well as direct preparation of units for battle, firmly manage them, persistently achieving the assigned tasks.

59 ... The battalion (company) commander controls the subunits by issuing verbal combat orders, orders, as well as commands and signals. Orders, orders and commands should be given concisely and clearly. He is obliged to immediately report to the brigade (battalion) commander on the fulfillment of the combat mission, on new information about the enemy, on a sharp change in the situation ahead of the front and on the flanks of his unit, and, if necessary, on losses and provision of missiles, ammunition and fuel.

60 ... The battalion headquarters is the main command body. He carries out his work on the basis of the decision and instructions of the commander, as well as orders of the higher headquarters.

The main task of the headquarters is the timely and complete communication of orders and instructions to the subordinate commanders; in the constant collection, generalization and analysis of situation data, reporting them to the battalion commander and bringing them to the higher headquarters.

The headquarters are entrusted with the following functions:

to ensure the combat readiness of units;

continuous acquisition, collection, study and assessment of situation data; preparation of the necessary calculations and proposals to the commander for making decisions;

registration of combat orders and orders; implementation of measures to organize interaction and maintain it in the course of tasks;

organization of combat support of actions and protection of troops; control over the implementation of tasks by units; keeping records of personnel, weapons and military equipment, missiles, ammunition of all types, fuel and other materiel;

staffing of subordinate units with personnel, weapons and military equipment, replenishment of material resources, as well as keeping records of radiation doses to personnel; informing the commanders of subordinates, interacting units and neighbors about new situation data;

organization of the management system of divisions, ensuring its sustainable functioning; organization and control over the provision of covert command and control of troops and the secrecy of planned activities; studying, generalizing and communicating combat experience to subordinate subdivisions, as well as methods of subdivision control.

61 ... The battalion chief of staff is the first deputy battalion commander, only he has the right to issue orders on his behalf. He is responsible for organizing and maintaining continuous command and control of units, their combat readiness and combat support for battalion operations.

The battalion chief of staff is obliged to: always know the situation, anticipate possible changes in it, be ready to report to the commander the conclusions and his proposals for the decision; assist the commander in organizing combat, maintaining constant interaction, as well as organizing all-round, primarily combat, support for the battle of subunits; organize stable communications and protect it from electronic suppression by the enemy; provide covert management of units; write down combat orders and orders given by the battalion commander; monitor the implementation of the issued combat orders (orders) and the provision of units with everything necessary for the battle; inform unit commanders and neighbors about the situation; keep records of radiation doses to staff of the headquarters, timely submit reports to higher headquarters, as well as study combat experience and bring it to subordinates. He must organize reconnaissance of the enemy ground and air, assign tasks to the reconnaissance subunit and, through the commanders, convey to the subunits the methods and signals for identifying their aircraft (helicopters).

62 ... The deputy battalion (company) commander is responsible for combat and mobilization readiness and the successful performance of combat missions by the battalion (company); he is the direct organizer of combat training. In the absence of the battalion (company) commander, performs his duties. The deputy battalion (company) commander must constantly know in full the entire situation, the tasks of the subunits and be ready to take control of the battalion (company).

63 ... The deputy battalion (company) commander for ideological work directly organizes and conducts ideological work, is responsible for its condition, effectiveness in solving combat missions and for the readiness of the unit to perform them, education, moral and psychological state and military discipline of personnel in the performance of combat missions.

He is obliged to: organize the planning and implementation of measures of ideological work and control over their effectiveness; personally instruct unit commanders; carry out the implementation of measures of ideological work in accordance with the situation developing during the battle, timely report to the battalion (company) commander about the ideological work being carried out and the moral and psychological state of the personnel.

64 ... The command and observation post (hereinafter - KNP) of a battalion (company) is a place specially equipped and equipped with technical means of communication, from which subunits are controlled during the preparation and conduct of hostilities. The command and observation post must be highly mobile, have reliable communications and provide command and control of subunits in any conditions of the situation, while on the spot and on the move.

It is deployed where continuous control is ensured, the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of its subunits and neighbors. The command and observation post should not stand out in any way in the battle formation, for its location and movement it is necessary to skillfully use local objects, the protective and masking properties of the terrain.

The battalion (company) command and observation post accommodates and operates the battalion (company) commander, his deputies (with the exception of the deputies for armament and logistics), staff officers, the battalion's communications chief, as well as commanders of attached subunits. At the command and observation post of the battalion of the first echelon (operating in a separate direction) from the interacting units of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces, an aircraft control point can be deployed.

The battalion commander can move into battle formations to control subunits, for which a control vehicle on an armored base is allocated from the command and observation post, on which the deputy (assistant) chief of staff, the commander of the mortar battery (artillery spotter, aviation gunner) work with the commander.

The movement of the command and observation post is carried out only with the permission of the senior commander (higher headquarters) and is carried out quickly, in an organized manner, secretly and should not coincide in time with decisive events in the course of the task.

In the event of a failure of the command and observation post of a battalion (company), subunits are controlled, as a rule, from the command and observation post of the second echelon company (one of the platoons of the company). The commander who has assumed command of the battalion (company) reports this to the senior commander, informs subordinates, interacting units and neighbors.

The chief of staff is responsible for the organization (mode) of the battalion's command and observation post during preparation and in the course of actions, ensuring the stable functioning of the command and control system.

65 ... Control facilities include a communication system, complexes of automation equipment, technical means of covert command and control of troops, information processing and calculations, registration and reproduction.

Communication in the battalion (company) is organized in accordance with the decision of the commander and the instructions of the chief of staff of the brigade (battalion). The chief of staff of the battalion (in the company - the company commander) is responsible for the organization and state of communications. The battalion's communications chief directly organizes communications and is responsible for its stable work. The battalion (company) commander and the battalion chief of staff, in any conditions of the situation, are obliged to have with them communications equipment that allows them to maintain constant and stable communication with the senior commander, commanders of regular, attached, supporting and interacting subunits, and be able to personally negotiate by means of communications. To ensure control in the battalion (company), radio, wire, mobile and signal communications are used. Radio facilities are the most important, and sometimes the only means, capable of ensuring the control of units. In battle, all commands are transmitted by radio in clear text, with the names of units and positions of commanders indicated by call signs, and points of the area - from landmarks, as well as conventional (coded) names. Wired communications are used independently and in conjunction with radio equipment when the battalion is deployed on the spot, in the initial area and in defense.

Mobile communications are used in all types of combat, on the march and when positioned on the spot. Signaling means of communication are used for the transmission of commands and warning signals, control and interaction. To maintain interaction between neighboring units, the radio facilities of these units are used, as well as the wired and mobile facilities of the right neighbor.

66 ... For the control of subunits and fire, uniform landmarks are assigned, topographic maps and local objects are encoded, radio data and signals are communicated to the commanders, identification marks and conventional numbers are applied to weapons and equipment. Local objects that are clearly visible during the day and at night and the most resistant to destruction are selected as landmarks. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along the lines from oneself to the side of the enemy. One of the landmarks is assigned as the main one. Landmark numbers and signals set by senior commanders are prohibited from changing. If necessary, the battalion (company) commander can additionally assign landmarks and signals.

The battalion (company) commander, as a rule, assigns no more than five additional landmarks (on the direction and boundaries of the companies (platoons) actions, on the borders of the strip and additional sector of fire). In addition to landmarks, well-visible local objects can be used to control fire.

Subunits are alerted to an air enemy, radioactive, chemical and biological contamination by single permanent signals. All personnel should know them.

67 ... For mutual identification, identification and location of subunits in each battalion (company) of the first echelon of a brigade (battalion) in direct contact with the enemy or conducting combat operations (reconnaissance) behind enemy lines, a designation post (point) is assigned from a specially trained squad (crew). The designation by this post (point) of the location of subunits is carried out by signal and technical means of identification by means of their activation at the command of the battalion (company) commander or battalion chief of staff in accordance with the order of the higher headquarters. The post (point) of the designation of the battalion (company) is assigned in the composition of three military personnel, one of them is the senior. It is provided with observation devices, a large-scale map or a diagram of the terrain, a control log, a compass, a clock, a flashlight, communication facilities and communication signals and identification, designation and warning signals. Technical means of identification and designation are installed near the battalion command and observation post. When setting a task to a post (point), designations usually indicate the composition of the post (point), location, observation sectors, identification signals, designations and alerts.

68 ... Organizing control, the battalion (company) commander determines: the place and time of deployment of command and observation posts of the battalion (company) and attached subunits, the order of their movement during the battle; the procedure for maintaining communication and radio exchange; methods and terms for submitting reports; the degree of engineering equipment of command and observation posts and the procedure for their protection. The battalion (company) commander in battle controls subunits from the command-observation post. The commanders of attached and supporting subunits, as a rule, are located at the command and observation post of the subunit to which they are attached (support), or near it.

The management of subunits consists in the purposeful activity of the company (battalion) commander, his deputies and the battalion headquarters to maintain constant combat readiness of subunits, prepare them for battle and lead them in the performance of assigned tasks.

The management of subdivisions includes: the organization and implementation of measures to increase (maintain) their combat readiness and ensure (restore) their combat effectiveness; maintaining a high morale and psychological stability in the units, strong military discipline, organization and constant combat readiness; continuous acquisition, collection, generalization, analysis and assessment of situation data; decision-making; setting tasks for subordinate units; organizing and maintaining continuous interaction; organization and implementation of measures for educational work and comprehensive support; organization of management. In addition, the commander and headquarters carry out practical work in subordinate units to direct their direct preparation for battle, organize the fulfillment of assigned tasks during the battle, and other activities.

It is known that with the development of the armed forces, the theory and practice of command and control also developed and changed. So, before the appearance of mass armies, the leadership of the troops was carried out directly by the commander (commander), since at that time he could observe the actions of all his troops and, without the help of a special body (headquarters), he could give the necessary orders and dispose of the troops personally or through adjutants, orderlies and messengers ...

With the emergence of massive armies, and, consequently, with an increase in the scope of hostilities and a change in the conditions for preparing and conducting a battle, it becomes more and more difficult for one commander to lead the troops, and he alone can no longer cope with this task. There is a need to create a permanent special governing body. For this, the Military Council was first introduced under the commander-in-chief, then in the middle of the 18th century. the army headquarters was created, and at the beginning of the 19th century. headquarters appear in divisions, regiments and battalions, which all the time have developed, improved and improved, becoming indispensable assistants to the commander in managing troops both in peace and in war time.

In the course of the further development of the armed forces of many states, new types of troops and special troops appear, which began to take part in the battle. This led to a further expansion of the range of officials involved in the leadership of formations, units and subdivisions. V organizational structure troops appear chiefs of these branches of the troops and special forces.

The main content of subunit management is: maintaining a high morale and constant combat readiness of subunits; collecting and studying data on the situation, revealing the intentions of the enemy; decision-making; bringing tasks to subordinates; organization and maintenance of interaction between subunits of the battalion and other branches of the armed forces participating in the battle; all-round support of the battle, control over its preparation and the implementation of assigned tasks by subunits.

Timely and well-organized uninterrupted command and control of subunits contributes to the seizure and retention of the initiative, the secrecy of preparation for battle and the surprise of striking the enemy, the rapid use of the results of nuclear and fire destruction of the enemy, and the timely implementation of measures to protect subunits from weapons of mass destruction. In addition, it allows more efficient use of the combat capabilities of all forces and assets involved in the battle.

Conditions for the management of subdivisions. In modern combat, in comparison with the Great Patriotic War, the conditions for managing subunits have become significantly more complicated. In the last war, command and control of subunits was carried out in an environment where the battle developed relatively slowly, and its outcome depended mainly on rifle subunits, sometimes reinforced by tanks and artillery fire.

Command and observation posts of companies and battalions, as a rule, were located in the combat formations of subunits, usually being long time in the same place (especially in defense).

The modern motorized rifle company and battalion have become highly mobile and maneuverable. If the company (battalion) of the Great Patriotic War had a progress rate of 4-5 km / h, but now it can march at an average speed of 20-25 km / h. In modern conditions, if the enemy uses nuclear weapons, then the commander will have to control his units fighting in the zones of contamination, areas of destruction, fires and floods. Now the combat situation on the battlefield can often and significantly change, which will necessitate the clarification of the decision or its organization anew.

An increase in the spatial scope of the battle, both defensive and offensive, as well as the pace of its conduct, leads to a more frequent change of the locations of command posts and forces the commander to control subunits on the move. And this, as you know, complicates the control of subunits, complicates their protection from nuclear and precision weapons, air and artillery strikes, as well as from the actions of enemy sabotage groups, which, as a rule, will have the task of disabling command posts.

The changes that have taken place in the organization and technical equipment of our troops and enemy troops have led to significant changes in the content and nature of modern combined arms combat, in the methods of organizing, conducting and commanding subunits. The battle has become decisive, dynamic, agile and fleeting. The spatial scope of the battle has increased significantly in comparison with the period of the Great Patriotic War. Thus, a modern motorized rifle battalion can attack prepared enemy defenses at a front up to 2 km and defend an area along the front of 3-5 km.

In such conditions, the company (battalion) commander will control the subunits using radio communications, usually on the move or from short stops The volume of information about the enemy has significantly increased, which must be quickly collected, summarized, studied, analyzed by the company (battalion) commander, and received on it. decision and report to the senior manager.

In modern combat, the company (battalion) commander will have to make a decision or clarify it at least three or four times during the day, and in a shorter time than it was during the Great Patriotic War, and often in conditions when the command and observation post (KNP) will be in motion for a considerable time. Therefore, the time factor now has a decisive influence on all management processes. Under these conditions, the company (battalion) commander must think carefully and determine the location of his command and observation post and the organization from it of communication with subunits, neighbors and the senior commander.

The place of the company (battalion) commander should be where he can confidently lead subordinates and exert effective influence on them in the preparation and conduct of a battle. The presence in the company and battalion of means of communication (especially radio equipment) provides the commander with greater mobility when choosing his place. However, the commander's attachment to the means of communication should not contribute to the commander's refusal of contact with subordinates, attached and supporting subunits.

The experience of the last war shows that the commander of a company (battalion) must, from his KNP, have a good look at the battle order of his unit and the enemy with whom he is fighting.

Training questions: 1) management of units in battle and the requirements for it; 2) organization of the battle by the squad leader and work on controlling the battle; 3) educational work in subunits during the battle. Teaching and educational goals: 1. To understand and deepen the knowledge of students about the organization and management of units in the course of combat. ... 2. To foster a sense of constant responsibility for the decision. Time: 2 hours. Venue: auditorium of the military department. Carrying out form: story, conversation. Used literature: 1) Rules of combat use of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan (part three) platoon, squad, tank.

Training question-№ 1. "control of units in battle and the requirements for it." The management of subunits consists in the purposeful work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander to maintain the combat readiness of the platoon (squad, tank), prepare it for battle and guide it in the performance of assigned tasks. The basis of control is the commander's decision. The commander of a platoon (squad, tank) bears full and sole responsibility for combat readiness, preparation of a platoon (squad, tank), weapons and military equipment for battle and the successful completion of a combat mission in a timely manner, as well as for military education, discipline, moral the psychological state of personnel and compliance with the provisions of international humanitarian law, including international rules for the conduct of hostilities. He must always know where they are, what task they are performing, what the subordinate units (soldiers, sergeants) need and their moral and psychological state.

Management must be stable, efficient, uninterrupted and secretive. The stability of control consists in ensuring its effective functioning and maintaining efficiency, continuity, secrecy under the influence of a complex tactical situation. It is achieved by organizing and carrying out activities aimed at increasing its security and recoverability; careful camouflage and fortification equipment of command posts; creation of a reserve of forces and means of control. Efficiency of management consists in the timely adoption and implementation of a decision according to the prevailing situation in the course of the task. It is achieved by constant monitoring of the actions of subunits and their fulfillment of tasks, conducting reconnaissance, and timely setting (clarifying tasks) to subordinates.

Continuity of control consists in the ability of the platoon leader (squad, tank) to constantly influence the course of actions of subunits, to assign tasks to subordinates in a timely manner and to receive information about the situation from them. It is achieved continuous operation means of communication, knowledge of the established control signals by the personnel. Concealment of control consists in concealing from the enemy the place of the unit commander in the battle formation and the keep of the control signals. It is achieved by careful camouflage of the platoon's command observation post, adherence to the order and rules for the use of radio and wire communications, and skillful control of subordinate signal facilities in conditions of direct fire contact with the enemy.

In the event of an unforeseen loss of all communication with the senior commander, the platoon (squad, tank) commander must independently make a decision that best suits the current situation. In battle, the platoon (squad, tank) commander must observe the course of the battle, conduct reconnaissance of the enemy, assign tasks to subordinates in a timely manner, and skillfully use all fire weapons to defeat the enemy. ... All the work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander in organizing the battle is carried out on the ground, and if this is not possible, then he makes a decision, gives a combat order, organizes interaction in the initial area according to the map (diagram, terrain model). In this case, the platoon commander clarifies the combat missions for the squads (tanks) and the assets attached to them on the terrain during the period of their occupation of positions (advancing them to the line of transition to the attack). The order of work of the platoon (squad, tank) commander depends on the specific situation, the task received and the availability of time.

The platoon commander, having received a combat mission, understands it, assesses the situation, makes a decision, conducts reconnaissance, gives a combat order, organizes interaction, combat support and control, training of personnel, weapons and military equipment for battle, then checks the readiness of the platoon for execution combat mission and at the appointed time reports this to the company commander. When understanding the received mission, the platoon leader must understand the mission of the company and the platoon, which objects (targets) in the direction of the platoon's actions are hit by the means of senior commanders, the tasks of neighbors and the procedure for interacting with them, the forces and means of reinforcing the platoon to perform the combat mission, and the time of readiness. to complete the task.

Assessing the situation, the platoon commander must study: the composition, position and possible nature of the enemy's actions, his strengths and weak sides, the location of its fire means; condition, security and capabilities of the platoon and attached units; composition, position, nature of actions of neighbors and conditions of interaction with them; the nature of the terrain, its protective and masking properties, advantageous approaches, barriers and obstacles, conditions for observation and firing. In addition, the platoon leader takes into account the radiation and chemical conditions, the state of the weather, the time of the year, the day, and their influence on the preparation and conduct of the battle.

Based on the conclusions from the clarification of the task and the assessment of the situation, the platoon commander alone makes a decision in which he determines the methods of accomplishing the task received (which enemy, where and by what means to inflict defeat, the measures used to mislead the enemy), tasks for the squads ( tanks) attached to subunits and firepower and the organization of command and control. The platoon leader reports the decision to the senior commander (chief). The platoon commander draws up the decision on the working card.

When conducting reconnaissance, the platoon commander on the ground indicates landmarks, the position of the enemy, and the most probable nature of his actions, clarifies the tasks of the squads (tanks) and other issues related to the use of terrain in battle (locations of squad positions, firing positions of infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tanks, anti-tank and other fire weapons, obstacles and passages in them, the route of the advance of the platoon and the place of dismounting of the squads). It is carried out with the involvement of commanders of regular and attached units (fire weapons), and sometimes mechanics of drivers (drivers). In the combat order, the platoon commander indicates: in the first paragraph, landmarks: in the second paragraph, the composition, position and nature of the enemy's actions, the location of his fire weapons: in the third paragraph, the task of the company, platoon;

in the fourth paragraph, the tasks of neighbors, objects and targets in the direction of the platoon's actions, hit by the means of senior commanders, in the fifth paragraph, after the word "I order", tasks are set for the squads (tanks) assigned to subunits and fire weapons, and the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, in addition , tasks to directly subordinate personnel (platoon sergeant, machine gun crew, sniper, gunner to the orderly) and the groups being created (fire support, barrage (detonation and capture). in the sixth point, the time of readiness to perform the task; in the seventh point, his place and deputy. A battle order is drawn up on the back of a working card.

When organizing interaction, the platoon commander must coordinate the efforts of the regular and attached firepower for the successful fulfillment of the task, achieve a correct and unified understanding by all squad (tank) commanders of the combat mission and methods of its implementation, and also indicate the signals of identification, notification, control, interaction and the order of actions on them. In order to organize combat support, the platoon commander, in the form of separate instructions, determines the procedure for observing and actions of personnel using weapons of mass destruction and high-precision weapons by the enemy, measures for engineering equipment of positions, camouflage, security and the procedure for their implementation.

When organizing technical and logistical support events, the platoon commander specifies the procedure and terms for obtaining ammunition, refueling with fuel and lubricants, carrying out maintenance of weapons and military equipment, providing personnel with food, water and other materiel, as well as monitoring the content of the soldier's equipment. and sergeants and its correct use. When organizing control, the platoon commander specifies (reports) radio data and the procedure for using radio and signal communication means.

Study question -№ 2. "Organization of the battle by the squad leader and work on the control of the battle." The squad (tank) commander, having received a combat mission, must: understand the task of the platoon, squad (tank), as well as the tasks of the neighbors, the time of readiness for the task, the order and timing of its completion; to understand where the enemy is and what he is doing, as well as the location of his fire weapons; to study the terrain, its protective and masking properties, advantageous approaches, barriers and obstacles, conditions of observation and firing; define tasks for the personnel and issue a combat order.

In the combat order, the squad (tank) commander indicates: in the first paragraph, landmarks; in the second point, the composition, position and nature of the enemy's actions, the location of his fire weapons; in the third paragraph, the task of the platoon and squad (tank); in the fourth paragraph of the problem of neighbors; in the fifth paragraph after the words "I order" sets tasks: commander motorized rifle squad gunner operator (gunner gunner, armored personnel carrier machine gun gunner), machine gunners, grenade launcher, sniper, driver (driver) mechanic, and, if necessary, the rest of the personnel; the commanders of the grenade launcher and anti-tank squads, in addition, indicate the tasks for the calculations; in the sixth paragraph, warning signals, control, interaction and the procedure for action on them; in the seventh point, the time of readiness to perform the task and the deputy.

The battle order is given orally in a concise and clear manner. When assigning missions to personnel, the squad leader must indicate the place of each subordinate in battle formation (in position) and determine the order of observation and firing. After giving the order, the squad (tank) commander organizes the preparation of the squad (tank) for the task: replenishment of missiles, ammunition, maintenance of the infantry fighting vehicle (armored personnel carrier), tank, performance of the established engineering support, and then checks the knowledge of the tasks by the personnel, his provision of everything necessary for the battle and reports to the platoon commander about the readiness of the squad (tank) for battle.

Fire control is the most important responsibility of the platoon (squad, tank) commander. It includes: study and assessment of the area; selection and purpose of landmarks; organization of observation of the battlefield; selection of firing positions; assignment (delivery) of fire control signals; reconnaissance of ground and air targets, assessment of their importance and determination of the order of destruction; selection of the type of weapon and type of ammunition; type and method of firing (shooting); target designation, giving commands to open fire or setting fire missions; observation of the results of fire and its correction; fire maneuver; control over the consumption of ammunition.

The purpose of fire control is the fullest use of fire weapons to inflict maximum damage on the enemy in the shortest possible time with the least expenditure of ammunition. The senior commander assigns uniform landmarks and signals to control the fire. It is prohibited to replace them. If necessary, the platoon (squad, tank) commander can additionally assign his own landmarks, but when reporting to the senior commander and maintaining interaction, only the landmarks indicated by the senior commander are used. Well visible and most resistant to destruction local objects are chosen as landmarks. When night sights are used, local objects with greater reflectivity within the range of the sights are selected as landmarks. Landmarks are numbered from right to left and along the lines from oneself to the side of the enemy. One of them is designated as the main one.

Target designation can be carried out from landmarks (local objects) and from the direction of movement (attack), tracer bullets and shells, explosions of shells and signal means, as well as pointing devices and weapons at the target. Reconnaissance of targets is carried out by commanders, observers, and, if necessary, by all platoon personnel (squad, tank, crew). From combat vehicles of infantry (armored personnel carriers), tanks, in all types of tactical actions, circular observation is carried out. Sectors are assigned depending on the location of the sights, observation devices, loopholes and the deployment of personnel. First of all, anti-tank weapons, armored vehicles at the front edge and in the nearest depth, crews of machine guns, a sniper, arrows with grenade launchers, aircraft controllers, artillery spotters and commanders are destroyed.When setting (clarifying) fire missions, commanders indicate: to whom, where ( target designation), what (name of the target) and what task to perform (destroy, suppress, destroy, etc.).

Educational question -№ 3. "educational work in subunits during the battle." Information educational work is carried out purposefully and continuously in any situation, at any stage of daily activities, mobilization and bringing units and subunits into combat readiness, in preparation for battle and during it. The organization and conduct of such work is the responsibility of all commanders, deputies for educational work, chiefs of combat arms and services. The direct supervision of this activity is carried out by the public state training and informing the bodies of educational work, which bear full responsibility for its condition.

When organizing information and educational work, the activities carried out by the brigade, battalion, company are taken into account in preparation for and during combat, the type of combat operations. Information and educational work is organized in two main stages: a) preparatory and b) during the battle. It is reflected by individual measures in the "Plan for the moral and psychological support of preparation for battle and conduct of battle." The list of measures in the unit is prepared by the officer of the brigade for state legal training and information. In subdivisions, such events are planned by commanders and their deputies for educational work.

The main groups of these measures can be: measures to transfer the consciousness of personnel from peacetime to wartime; the procedure for instructing and setting tasks for an asset; measures to increase vigilance; conducting political information and state legal training of personnel; the procedure for supplying units with technical means of education, newspapers, literature; the procedure for obtaining information and reports to immediate superiors. Based on the requirements of the guidance documents, information reference materials and calculations can be developed for the plan. The experience of the troops shows that among them there may be: a regular job list of information and combat assets; calculation of the provision of units with technical means of education; inventories of cases and documents to be destroyed and necessary for work in a combat situation, and others.

In order to increase the effectiveness of information educational work during the period of preparation for hostilities, officers of educational structures and activists prepare Required documents: a certificate of the combat path of a formation (unit), forms of combat sheets, lightning sheets, memos, brochures, materials for conversations, political information, classes in the system of state legal training, extracts from job responsibilities on the organization of information and educational work. They are formed into folders (bags). In addition, stationery and others are being prepared. In the company and in the platoon, for information work, there is usually a portable set of visual information, which may include tablets: "State symbols of Kazakhstan", "Armed Forces of Kazakhstan", "Days of military glory of Kazakhstan", " Great ancestors bequeathed to us ”,“ Sons of the Fatherland ”,“ Combat path of the unit ”,“ Warrior! Observe safety measures ”,“ Know your probable enemy ”and others, maps of the world and the Republic of Kazakhstan, a folder with reference materials, combat sheets, etc.

Commanders (chiefs), their deputies, officers of the unit (subdivision), officials educational structures, military lawyers, doctors and other specialists, representatives state power, law enforcement agencies, religious denominations, labor collectives, public organizations and movements of a patriotic orientation. Special attention organizers of information and educational work focus on the choice of forms and methods that depend on the specific tasks solved by the military collective or individual servicemen.

The main forms of work in the preparatory period can be meetings, conversations, meetings, etc.; in the course of hostilities - a personal example of courage, courage, an oral appeal to servicemen, information about those who distinguished themselves in battle and awarded, a story about heroic deeds of soldiers, a message about losses incurred by the enemy, etc. Experience shows that the main forms of information-educational work in preparation for battle are: group and individual conversations, the release of combat leaflets and lightning leaflets, oral messages, the design of wall newspapers and visual information materials, listening to the radio, etc.

Political information is organized with all categories of military personnel. During the preparatory period, it is carried out during the time provided for by the plan for the moral and psychological support of the preparation and conduct of the battle, and in the course of hostilities - by the decision of the commander during the time when the hostilities are not being conducted directly (in the intervals between battles, at halts, etc.) ... In the course of information and educational work, the main focus should be on strengthening military discipline in the units and subdivisions of the combined group, on educating the personnel of law-abidingness, and understanding the need for unquestioning obedience to the commander's order. For this purpose, special legal information, meetings of soldiers with employees of the military prosecutor's office. The personnel were explained the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on responsibility for military crimes.

Combat information is organized and carried out with personnel directly performing combat (combat training) missions. Much attention is paid to providing servicemen with memos about military operations in various conditions, especially in the mountains, in the city, on the procedure for detecting and neutralizing enemy mines, and more. Combat information is designed to widely disclose the initiative, ingenuity, fearlessness and heroism of Kazakhstani servicemen in the performance of their military duty. It is carried out both immediately before execution and in the process of implementing combat training missions. The main place here is given to personal contact, the issuance of orders, instructions and their explanation, the transfer of information by technical means of communication, through combat leaflets and leaflets of lightning. Such informing of personnel is carried out by commanders, officers of staffs and educational work bodies, specially appointed people from among officers, warrant officers and sergeants. Information is carried out, as a rule, with officers - on the scale of a brigade or battalion, with soldiers and sergeants - on a company (separate platoon) scale.

In order to explain to servicemen the specifics of the upcoming operation, specific combat missions and methods of solving them, a combat information system must be established. 15-20 minute information should be carried out daily in the squads, crews, calculations. Use also newspaper readings, bringing to the personnel information received from the headquarters and the united group of forces. Materials for combat information should be prepared by officers of educational structures, and for their direct communication to the soldiers, unit commanders, their deputies for educational work, staff officers, the most trained soldiers, sergeants and warrant officers from the combat asset who have experience of war, who participated in peacekeeping missions should be involved and other places.

Officers must constantly take into account the tasks being solved. So, on the eve of the march, the personnel must be informed about the tasks of the march, the duties of servicemen, warning signals and the procedure for action on them. Directly on the march, the commanders, their deputies for educational work must constantly monitor the actions of the personnel, during short stops and halts, inform the soldiers of the real situation of the troops' actions, explain the decisions of the government of Kazakhstan, the task. The main source of information in these conditions should be all types of modern technical notification. Educational officers are obliged to listen to messages, generalize them and bring them to the attention of military personnel. They should see their main task in ensuring that through continuous personal communication with the soldiers to strengthen their moral and psychological state, confidence in their forces, in the capabilities of military equipment and weapons, psychologically prepare them for combat contact with enemy armed forces.

In the course of hostilities, an increase in the morale and psychological stability of personnel should be promoted active work on the timely disclosure of examples of courageous behavior and heroic deeds of colleagues in battles with the enemy. Organize performances by soldiers who have distinguished themselves in battles. At the same time, explain the typical mistakes, incorrect actions of individual soldiers, which in a combat situation led to injury or death. In the course of informing, the commanders and officers of educational structures should conduct extensive explanatory work to expose enemy propaganda, reveal the true meaning of the enemy, urge not to succumb to provocations, and encourage the manifestation of spiritual and combat resilience.

2. Main part:

Question number 1.

GENERAL CONCEPT OF UNIT MANAGEMENT IN BATTLE . SPECIFIC CONTROL OF UNITS IN BATTLE AND REQUIREMENTS FOR IT .



BASICS OF CONTROL

Management consists of:

In the purposeful activities of commanders to maintain high combat readiness of subunits,

Preparing them for battle

And to guide them in the fulfillment of the assigned tasks,

And also in the timely implementation of measures to ensure the organization and conduct of the battle.

The highly maneuverable nature of the combined arms battle, the continuous increase in the technical equipment of the troops, which entailed increase in the volume of tasks decided by the commander both during the organization period and during the battle, have a significant impact on the conditions, content and methods of management of departments.

In the context of the widespread use of nuclear and modern conventional weapons systems, as well as electronic warfare very strict requirements are imposed on the management of departments.

First of all, it should be:

Resistant to the effects of various means of destruction

the enemy, as well as his means of electronic warfare,

Continuous,

Solid ,

Prompt and secretive



Especially high efficiency is required for the platoon (squad, tank) commander when performing reconnaissance and marching security missions; the slightest delay of the commander in giving commands in the event of a sudden meeting with the enemy can lead to serious consequences.

The foundation on which the command building is being erected is the scientific foresight of the upcoming battle. Here it is appropriate to recall the statements about the foresight of General of the Army PI Batov: - Frontline commanders know how many thoughts are crowded when you look at the terrain of the upcoming battle for the last time. Like any creation of the hands and will of people, the battle is carried out twice - first in thoughts, and then in reality. "He (the commander - PB) must, by the power of his imagination, straining the acuteness of the sense of foresight, survive this first mental battle, the details of which are sometimes imprinted in memory, like frames on a photographic film." / Batov P, I. In campaigns and battles. M., 1966.S. ​​200./.

Thus, the foresight of the commander, his foresight play exclusively important role when managing units in battle.

Of course, you cannot foresee all the options and they cannot be turned into a template. But if you creatively foresee the development of modern combined arms combat, then it is it is necessary to follow the path of detailed development of its possible options. This will ensure the stability and continuity of platoon control in battle.

Question number 2.

ROLE OF THE COMMANDER IN DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT. MEANS AND METHODS OF CONTROL.

Commander - the organizer of the battle. His will, expressed in orders, instructions, commands, sets in motion the subunits, gives them the most advantageous battle order, directs their joint efforts to achieve victory over the enemy.

The platoon leader usually organizes the battle:

- on the ground,

And if this is not possible - in the original area on a map or on a terrain model. In this case, the platoon commander clarifies the combat missions to the squads (tanks) and the assets attached to them on the ground during the period of their advance to the line of transition to the attack.

Unit management in battle is based on the commander's firm belief that subordinates are capable of successfully completing the assigned task. Such confidence comes from the level of training, initiative and creativity of each soldier, sergeant, officer individually and their high personal responsibility for the fulfillment of a combat mission.

Trusting the squad (tank) commanders, the platoon commander, at the same time, possessing knowledge and experience, constantly monitors (monitors) the progress of the preparation of subunits for battle and, if necessary, must provide them with assistance at any time.

The commander of a motorized rifle (tank) platoon controls the platoon:

- on the radio,

- teams supplied voice and signaling means ,

And sometimes actions according to principle "Do what i do ».

Inside the combat vehicle platoon, squad (tank) commander controls the actions of subordinates:

- teams submitted by by intercom ,

AND established signals .

Communication must be organized so that,

firstly, it was uninterrupted and reliable and,

secondly, it provided a quick and hidden report of decisions and the transmission of orders, orders, signals.

The main means visual alarm are:

Signal, lighting cartridges,

Smoke bombs,

Hand smoke grenades,

Lighting and smoke shells and mines,

Flags, lights.

The order of designating the forward edge, the lines reached and its location, signals of mutual identification (at night), as well as the identification of their units by aviation are established by the superior commander and are communicated to the commanders of the units and personnel when assigning missions.

When operating on foot motorized rifle platoon commander dismounts and is behind the platoon chain (at a distance of up to 50 m) in a place where it is more convenient to see and control your platoon.

Part-commander moves directly in the chain.

The following remain in combat vehicles:

Driver mechanics (drivers),

Operator gunners (machine gunners)

AND deputy platoon commander ,

through which the platoon leader controls the fire and movement of combat vehicles.

On the defensive, the commander of a motorized rifle platoon is on command and observation post (KNP) , which is equipped in the course of communication, or in an infantry fighting vehicle (armored personnel carrier) in a place from which the best observation of the terrain, the enemy, the actions of their subordinates and neighbors, as well as continuous control of the platoon is ensured. Together with the platoon commander, there are liaison officers from the squads, they also perform the duties of observers.

Accommodation KNP company (battalion) must ensure reliable communication with subordinate and interacting units, the headquarters of the regiment (battalion), neighbors and inside the KNP, hidden placement and protection of personnel and command and control equipment from weapons of mass destruction, air strikes and high-precision weapons, as well as continuous command and control of units in any conditions ...

The command and observation post of a company (battalion) is usually deployed in the direction of concentration of the battalion's main efforts, away from landmarks that stand out from the enemy, taking into account the protective and camouflaging properties of the terrain. The place and time of deployment, the order of movement of the company (battalion) KNP are determined in the order.

The command and observation post of the company (battalion) should not be far away from the subunits, especially when attacking at night. The commander must observe the battlefield, receive timely reports on the situation and immediately respond to its changes.

According to the experience of the Great Patriotic War and exercises, the command and observation post of the battalion from the units of the first echelon in the offensive was usually located at a distance of up to 300 m, the company - up to 200 m, in defense, respectively - up to 1.5 km and up to 500 m.

The mouth of the KNP usually includes:

Company commander,

Deputy company commander for educational work,

Senior Technician,

Company Chief,

Medical instructor.

From the technical means of the infantry fighting vehicles of the company commander.

In each R-123M (R-173) radio and radio station installed on all BMP (armored personnel carriers) companies are included in battalion commander's radio network.

Only:

Battalion Commander,

Chief of Staff of the Battalion,

Deputy battalion commanders,

Commanders of motorized rifle companies,

Mortar Battery Commander

Commanders of grenade launcher, anti-aircraft missile, platoon and support platoon,

As well as attached and supporting units,

And motorized rifle platoons performing combat missions separately from motorized rifle companies in the interests of the entire battalion (outposts, head patrol, outposts, combat reconnaissance patrols, etc.).

To control platoons when the company commander is outside the BMP (armored personnel carriers), as well as to communicate with motorized rifle platoons operating on foot a radio network is being created company commander on portable radio sets R-148 (R-158).

In a defensive battle, the radio stations of the attached tanks located in the company stronghold can be included in the radio network of the motorized rifle company. Other subunits attached to the company are included in the same radio network.

Artillery unit commander, attached to or supporting the company, as a rule, stays with the company commander.
