Partial method of assessment of tank brigade preparedness level during combat readiness recovery

Abstract

The radical changes in the nature of modern military conflicts, the range and content of the tasks involved in the Armed Forces of Ukraine require a series of measures aimed at improving their training system. One of the components of the Armed Forces training is combat training, which is conducted both in peacetime and during a special period. The experience of the counter-terrorist operation and the operation of the Joint Forces in eastern Ukraine shows that the successful accomplishment of combat tasks by tank brigades (units) to a large extent depends on the effectiveness of combat training during combat readiness recovery, the result of which is their preparedness level. All this requires finding and implementing new approaches to the organization and conduction of combat training during combat readiness recovery, which requires the development of a scientific and methodological apparatus to assess their preparedness level. Based on scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of military units combat training and the experience of carrying out combat readiness recovery, the article presents a partial methodology for assessing the tank brigade preparedness level during combat readiness recovery, which takes into account the preparedness level of each structural unit of the brigade, taking into account its importance. Assessing the preparedness level of the tank brigade structural unit is calculated by dependence, which takes into account the overall level of military personnel training and their coherence.The indicators that characterize the training level of the serviceman include: the level of individual abilities of the serviceman, length of service and occupational training courses in the field of activity. The level of coherence in the management of the military unit depends on the experience gained by each serviceman in the occupied position during the exercise (training), taking into account their importance, and the unit – on the results of working out of collective training standards.This partial method allows to make quantitative assessment of the tank brigade preparedness level to perform the tasks on purpose, and also identifies "weaknesses" in carrying out combat recovery, which necessitates the development of recommendations for improving the efficiency of combat recovery. The results of the study can be used in the practice of restoring the combat capability of tank brigades and in the research on the readiness level assessment in scientific institutions.
