The composite battalion is a new type of combat unit in the modern army, which integrates the traditional infantry, armored troops, artillery and other different arms of the armed forces to form the ability of multi-arms to coordinate operations. This mode of operation has demonstrated strong combat effectiveness and flexible tactical advantages in a series of military operations. However, some people questioned whether the synthetic battalion was suitable for a protracted war? This question is worth going deeper.
Let's take a look at the characteristics of the synthetic camp. The core advantage of the composite battalion lies in the integration of multiple arms, which improves the comprehensive combat capability of combat units by effectively integrating the combat forces of different arms. The combat strength of the composite battalion includes infantry, armored troops, artillery, reconnaissance troops, engineers and other arms, which can carry out diversified combat missions and has strong mobility and flexibility.
Why, then, do some people question that synthetic battalions are not suitable for protracted warfare? The main reasons are as follows:
1.The composition of the composite battalion is complex and requires high logistical support and material support. In a protracted war, the stability of support is crucial. In the long-term war, the composite battalion has a greater demand for logistical support, and the difficulty of support has also increased correspondingly.
2.The combat characteristics of the composite battalion are that they are quickly mobile and flexible, and are suitable for short-term high-intensity operations. In a protracted war, the two sides of the war often need to engage in a variety of tactics, such as positional warfare and guerrilla warfare. The operational characteristics of the composite battalion may be difficult to adapt to such a long-term and complex war environment.
3.Protracted warfare is often accompanied by large-scale attrition, and the composition of the composite battalion may lead to a rapid decline in combat effectiveness. In a protracted war, the depletion and replenishment of troops. The composition of the composite battalion is complex, and the combat effectiveness may decline relatively quickly in a long-term war of attrition.
Is the synthetic battalion really not suitable for protracted warfare? The answer is not absolute. Although the composite battalion has certain disadvantages in terms of logistical support, tactical adaptability, and maintenance of combat effectiveness, its advantages of multi-arm coordinated operations also play an important role in protracted warfare.
The battalion's multi-arm cooperative combat capability enables it to implement diversified tactics in a protracted war and effectively respond to the enemy's tactical changes. Secondly, the rapid mobility of the composite battalion can quickly adjust tactics in a protracted war and respond to changes in the battlefield situation. Finally, the comprehensive combat capability of the composite battalion can maintain a high combat effectiveness in a protracted war and effectively deplete the enemy's troops.
So, what about the synthetic battalion to its advantage in a protracted war?
1.Strengthen logistical support. In a protracted war, the stability of logistical support plays a decisive role in the outcome of the war. The armed forces should strengthen the construction of a logistical support system to ensure that the material needs of the composite battalions in a protracted war are fully satisfied.
2.Adapt your tactics flexibly. Composite battalions should flexibly adjust their tactics in light of changes in the battlefield situation and give full play to the advantages of multi-arms coordinated operations.
3.Improves combat effectiveness retention. In a protracted war, it is essential to improve the maintenance of combat effectiveness. Composite battalions should pay attention to replenishing and restoring their combat effectiveness to ensure that they always maintain a high level of combat effectiveness in war.
Generally speaking, although the composite battalion has certain disadvantages in protracted warfare, its advantages of multi-arm coordinated operations also play an important role in protracted warfare. As long as we fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of the composite battalion in a protracted war and take effective countermeasures, the composite battalion is fully capable of playing an important role in a protracted war. The development of future wars will also provide us with more enlightenment and opportunities.
