Abstract

The article describes a possible version of a methodological approach to assessing the level of a unit's combat capability using indicators of its combat capabilities. Indicators of combat capabilities are the relative staffing of a unit, the relative level of training (learning) of personnel for the current amount of weapons, the relative staffing of the unit with weapons and military equipment (AME), and the relative staffing of the unit with expendable material and technical means (MTS). Given the absence of an analytical (formulaic) expression of the combat capability function, it becomes necessary to present the dependence of its level on certain indicators that affect this level. The current (which are determined during hostilities) values of the considered indicators, referred to their standard values, determine the corresponding level of the combat capability of the given unit. The difference between the standard and current values of a certain indicator is mainly due to losses during the fighting of the unit. The difference between the standard and current values of a certain indicator is mainly due to losses during the fighting of the unit. Based on the adopted definitions of indicators, as well as the definition of the combat capability of the unit under consideration, a dependence is proposed that determines the attainable level of combat capability of the unit. There is a definite connection between the indicators of combat capabilities. We consider not just the number of personnel (crews), but the number of trained (trained) personnel who are equipped with the available samples of weapons and military equipment of a certain type (group, type) of subunit. It is shown how, by varying these or those indicators within the permissible limits of their changes, it is possible to calculate the attainable level of combat capability of the unit under consideration, and, if necessary, of any military formation. Keywords: subunit combat effectiveness, combat capabilities, standard values of indicators, current values of indicators, manning, personnel, material and technical means, main armament.
