This study examines Soviet utilization of tactical air defense weapons in support of maneuver forces, with primary emphasis on the employment of antiaircraft artillery weapons found in the air defense battery. Primary focus is on the operations of the battery in support of offensive and defensive operations by motorized rifle and tank units, and such subjects as command relationships, training, and reconnaissance are also addressed. Soviet employment principles are evaluated in terms of their potential threat to Army aviation, and the paper concludes that Soviet air defense doctrine is tailored to both offensive and defensive operations of supported forces.
