Notes:

1. The Soviet information is from FM 100-2-3, The Soviet Army Troops Organization and Equipment, July 1984, pp. 4-133 to 4-140. The numbers in this appendix may vary slightly from those used in the analysis in chapter four because the analysis uses the information found in FM 100-2-3, November 1988 which is still in draft form. The only significant difference is that the antiaircraft and weapons squads in the companies have been moved up into the battalion. There is very little change in the Airborne regiments overall from 1984 to 1988.

2. A complete listing of the trucks in the Soviet Airborne Regiment and Division is not included but can be found in FM 100-2-3.

3. The U.S. information is from The 82d Airborne Division Capabilities Book 1988, pp. 5-3[33] to 5-11.

4. The Division Ready Brigade (DFZB) information is from an unclassified 1988 Memorandum Subject: 82d Airborne Division Generic Force Packages. The DRB package used is not designed to represent a "go to war" configuration but is intended to serve as a point of departure for rapidly tailoring forces for specific contingencies. It is used in this thesis only as a possible Brigade task force configuration.

THE SOVIET AIRBORNE DIVISION

The Soviet Airborne division now is almost fully equipped three of its Airborne (infantry) regiments. Essential combat with motorized equipment. This significantly increases its support is provided by an artillery regiment, an assault gun combat power and mobility, while retaining an airdrop capable (ASU-85) battalion, and an antiaircraft battalion. Also, the airdrop-ability for most of its equipment. Under the Soviet organization the Airborne Division has other combat support and combat service support units in the Airborne division now is assessed to have the BMD that provide limited backup for combat amphibious Airborne infantry combat vehicle (AAICV) in all operations.
