Soviet/Russian TO&E info request

[Commissar]

Does anyone know a site on the net where I could find a current TO&E of a Russian/Soviet tank or motorized infantry division? An older Soviet TO&E (early 1990's or slightly earlier) would be fine. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try this:

ftp://ftp.thegamers.net/pub/toaw/stuff/wpoob.zip

It says it is from 1988, hopefully it will help you out.

RT posted up a partially complete file of mine on Soviet tactics, which includes a TOE description for divisions. It is a bit big for posting into here, and a do apologize for its unfinished nature! Someday I'll fill in the blanks and complete the "further reading" sections, etc.

Thanks. Both files are helpful. I have a bunch of books on the Soviet military at home but I do not have easy access to them from where I am.

From there you can download a zip file of the US Army Field Manual ''Fm 100-60 Armor- And Mechanized-Based Opposing Force Organization Guide".

Or ... you can purchase my Military Reference Library CDROM and carry 167 field manuals in your pocket, where ever you go http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif.

A very cool reference package.... I used to go downtown to the local US Gov't printing office and buy these FMs individually (along with other gov't military publications - your tax dollars at work http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif, but Major H's compilation has them *all* way cheaper than paper copies, plus they're *searchable*.
Maybe I'm a sucker for such things, since when I was a kid I discovered my dad's FM 21-13 "The Soldier's Guide" from 1952 when he served during the Korean War. However, I'm fascinated by them.

They're very useful. When's vol. 2 due out, Maj. H.?... though I haven't yet memorized the first 100+ FMs! http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif
