Abstract

Effective counteraction to the recent armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has exacerbated the need to summarize and put into operation the Ukrainian Army combat experience gained in the anti-terrorist operation / operation of the United Forces. In order to make this work more effective, you need to learn from the past. The article analyzes the scientific and memoir literature, the documentary source base on the creation and operation of bodies to study and use the combat experience of the RSCA during the Second World War. The results of these bodies constitute a valuable array for historiography. And the organization of their work is of practical importance in modern conditions. To study the experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression, we propose the author's periodization of the evolution of the RSCA bodies to study and use the combat experience in 1939-1945. Even before the outbreak of Second World War, the armies that eventually joined the anti-Hitler coalition and their opponents began work on generalizing, studying, and using experience in the use of armed forces, armies, and forces, and organizing their interaction in combat. For the study and implementation of the experience of war, structures were established in the military authorities to study, summarize, and use combat experience, the activities of which are of great interest to modern researchers, scientists, and military specialists. Combat experience is required to develop and implement the newest methods of conducting armed combat, organizing and conducting military operations, developing instructions, manuals and techniques for the preparation of units of troops and special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, in order to streamline this work in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to avoid mistakes, it is urgent to take into account foreign experience, especially in all – countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, as well as to conduct military-historical researches on the history of creation and activity of structures for studying, generalization and use of combat experience. during the Second World War, particularly in the RSCA.
