(a) A Guards Formation was organisationally identical to a non-
Guards Formation. The term ‘Guards’ was simply an honorific title
left over from WW2 and was only of historical interest. There was no x12 Mi-24 ‘Hind’ Attack Helicopter CWWP-122
qualitative edge, organisational difference or technological edge
between Guards and non-Guards divisions. Indeed there were many x6 Mi-8 ‘Hip’ Assault Transport Helicopter CWWP-120
Guards divisions that were rated ‘Category C’, while equally there
were many non-Guards ‘Category A’ divisions in the cutting edge of
the Western Group of Forces. In East Germany. However, note that Up to x1 General Purpose Helicopter Regt

Divisions (BG CWWP-03) in addition to their Air Assault Brigade.

(e) An Army Reconnaissance Battalion was generally organised

exactly the same as a Divisional Reconnaissance Battalion, though
there were many organisational differences in Soviet recce units at
all levels and it remains a very complicated area of research.

(f) The Divisional Engineer Battalion had a single Divisional Sapper

Company that could be considered an ME for game purposes (ME
CWWP-28), while the rest of the battalion consisted of road-building,
bridging, amphibian, position preparation and demolition equipment,
which is unlikely to feature very heavily in a game.

variants (with T-80 also arriving during the decade).

do not have AAMGs or tube-launched ATGMs.

(e) The Independent Tank Brigades were reserve armoured

breakthrough formations, to be held back until a penetration was
achieved and then thrown into the breach (or alternatively as a
counter-penetration ‘fire brigade’). There was usually one such Tank
Brigade in each of the Soviet Groups of Forces in Europe (called
‘Fronts’ in wartime), as well as some of the Military Districts in the
western USSR (again called ‘Fronts’ in wartime). One or two
individual Armies also had a Tank Brigade. The Ukrainian and
Belorussian Military Districts each had a powerful ‘Unified Corps’ (BG
CWWP-04, known to NATO as ‘Operational Manoeuvre Groups’),
each of x3 Tank Brigades. These were the operational armour
reserves for applying the coup de grace to NATO in Europe.

(b) One Battalion in each brigade was trained for air assault, with
one company being para-qualified. Organisationally they were no
different, though clearly the heavy vehicles would not be able to
accompany an airborne assault. Transport would be provided by
naval Ka-25 ‘Hormone’ or Ka-35 ‘Helix’ helicopters.

battalion from x4 to x3. Therefore remove x1 weapon from the

already operating with only x3 weapons throughout the period –
possibly due to a shortage of such weapons.

(d) Compared to Motor Rifle and Air Assault Battalions, this

organisation seems very ‘light’ on support weapons platoons, but I
haven’t been able to find many sources from which to glean such
information. However, sources for the very similar Polish Marine
Battalions also describe a ‘light’ support weapons organisation, but in
that case there was just one platoon of AGS-17s listed for each
battalion. This requires further research.
