Soviet troops pulling out of Afghanistan) The leader (previously described) commands at least a division- size element; he is a field commander and would probably do well as a future member of the Soviet General Staff. His primary mission seems to center around the security of the North-South corridor "out in front" of his position (see sketch, last session) . He is to hold the area and secure LOCs (lines of communication). He responds to other orders from his "higher" ( somewhere else). Although the mission seems tactically simple, and required assets are all present, this leader was assigned because in less capable hands things could fall apart, i. e., constant care and attention to detail is demanded -- one's guard must be always up. The leader focuses a great deal of attention on the hills to the West (see last session) which offer an enemy cover, concealment and the high ground. It seems that the most serious security threat is posed by enemy approaches from this direction -- his back. Patrols and observation posts must constantly monitor the area. No particular plans for future mission (s) perceived. -... el avas a HOL and desicad - de courcel and accurate. Approved For Release 2000/08/09 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003700030001-8
