These manuals represent the most current unclassified information then available.

This is a major snapshot at the end of the Cold War. The document provides an overview of Soviet ground force operations and tactics based on unclassified Soviet and open source literature. It describes the massive size and modern equipment of Soviet ground forces, which are centered around tank and motorized rifle divisions. The basic principle of Soviet land warfare is to seize the initiative through violent, sustained deep offensive action supported by aviation, artillery, and other combined arms. Tactical nuclear weapons have been integrated at all force levels from division up. Chemical weapons capabilities also exist from battalion level and above. The manual focuses on potential operations in Central Europe but notes Soviet military activity extends to other regions as well. Wraps, writing on spine and fore-edge.
