After that, the cadets independently draft a battle order, using intelligence data and the involvement of artillery units, and storm buildings where the conditional enemy is stationed.
“In the classes, everyone takes turns acting as a platoon leader, independently planning operations and issuing combat orders in order to be maximally prepared for combat missions. Other participants alternately assume the roles of unit commanders and stormers, ensuring the coordination of actions during the exercise,” reads the report.
