How He Fights: Meeting Engagement | US Army Training Video.
This video highlights The Meeting Engagement. The advancing forces meet the opposing forces on the field. It is combat between opposing units advancing rapidly towards each other. Such an engagement is conducted in the Soviet Army doctrine. The doctrine stresses speed, maneuverability, and continuous operations.

@Rokaize 2 жыл бұрын

It’s fictional, but I think Tom Clancy’s book “Red Storm Rising” gives a pretty true to life evaluation of how it would go for the individual men on the ground. Especially since it was very thoroughly researched and had input from many military commanders including some on the Warsaw Pact side. It is extremely fast moving. Massive amounts of casualties due to how much technology is involved. It would be horrific for both sides in a way we haven’t seen in a very long time.

Sure wish I'd have seen this while I was in Germany back in the 70's. I would have had a much better understanding of how our troops should have trained to combat Ivan. This also makes me feel better about how incompetent our officers were as well. Hate to say it, but those officers were more concerned about scoring brownie points than effectively leading and training combat troops right up the chain of command to at least our battalion level. Our command staff had little to no imagination on how to train us for combat ops, sorry to say. Glad we never had to fight because we would likely have lost our asses PDQ.

I was 11H antitank infantry, back in Germany, I never saw this film but others explaining Soviet tactics. We knew to take out the leaders vehicles. As you saw in the film he gave their location. They were always the odd tank out usually the middle one and despite what he said they still used radios, but communication usually went down hill . The leaders tank had more than one antenna. That is what we we were taught.

@decimated550 8 ай бұрын

I was in the military and I'm very aware. There's just a lot of empire building among officers and ticket punching. I do believe the Soviets would have won simply because they had a more effective and ruthless heartless culture which obviously is more effective in battle than a army from a peaceful or weak country.

12:54 good understanding of the superiority of the soviets in electronic warfare. The soviets would advance in well planned patterns. the nato forces would be reacting to soviet moves, and radio communication would be required to do this. Electronic warfare would damage their ability to do this. Even if soviet low level tactical HQs were destroyed, the subunits would still move according to the plan.

The obvious disadvantage of this doctrine was inflexibility and predictability. The Syrians (amongst with other WP aligned nations) operated according to Soviet doctrine and threw away their vast technological and numerical superiority in the Golan back in 73. Other examples are plentiful.

Iraqi, Syrian and Egyptian (to name a few) staff officers were trained in the USSR. The training was there - to some level - the doctrine itself was inherently faulty, unless you had the unlimited resources of the Soviet Union to back it up. As in: keep on pouring in reinforcements until the OPFOR runs out of people.

@@decimated550 Every week our chain of command would be instructed to give lessons on basic Infantry tasks. These lessons would be on things like how to put up wire obstacles for dismounted Infantry, first aid, building fighting positions, patroling, movement to contact, navigation, etc. This would be conducted by every squad leader in every unit throughout the entire division. This was a mandatory program instituted during the Cold War that squad leaders as NCOs be able to research and conduct training every week on Thursdays. There wouldn't be physical training first thing in the morning. Soldiers would be doing classroom or practical field training instruction from morning till after lunchtime as a duty day. This was common for all mechanized and armor divisions in Germany. Some units in the US like mine the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson CO. had many officers serve in Germany and brought the program over state side.

Good find, but I'm laughing at the corniness of it all. In essence, this is getting ten people to dress up in Soviet-ish uniforms and reading off various parts of an American textbook on Soviet tactics. I find it impossible to imagine troops about to make their commitment blabbing abstractions like "This element will be 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers away from that element." Isn't it time we take that abstract rule and make a concrete decision on what distance it shall be for today's mision?

Hey I'm sure the training attachment of the army core headquarters tasked to do this had two weeks to put it together and then film it.

They wanted to make it come more alive and this isn't supposed to be about a particular mission. It's supposed to be any mission

And they would attack with massive radio jamming, which would have the paralyzing effects of every unit. And that would wreak havoc with our attempts to do airland battle or combined arms.
