Abstract

The use of aviation, high-precision weapons, high-explosive and individually guided munitions, reconnaissance strike systems in combat creates the prerequisites for inflicting large losses on combat units in a short period of time, as well as for disrupting control and support systems. The following assessment of combat capability is given in research: full combat capability means that the formation is capable to both attack and defend; partial combat capability (1st stage) means that the formation is capable to defend and attack to a limited extent; partial combat capability (2nd stage) means that the formation is not capable to advance, but is capable to perform defensive actions to a limited extent; complete inability means that the formation is unable to either attack or defend. Recovery could last from a day to several weeks. Maintaining and timely restoring the combat capability includes detection and destruction of the enemy's means of attack; execution of the missions with the least loss of personnel, weapons, and military equipment; reliable air defense; quick restoration of equipment and weapons; ensuring stable command and control; maintaining the morale and psychological state of personnel, their mental stability and psychological readiness at a level that ensures performance of assigned tasks. Restoring the combat capability of units includes restoration of broken control; clarifying the combat tasks of units that have retained combat capability; withdrawal units that suffered significant losses to the areas of restoration of their combat capability; replenishment of units with personnel, weapons, equipment, and material means.
