Historically, Soviet ground forces have focused on the enemy's force rather than on terrain. The author finds that the changing nature of the battlefield is causing the Soviets to alter the manner in which missions and objective depths are assigned to tactical and operational formations. Recent Soviet writings indicate that the changing landscape in Central Europe and increased battlefield lethality suggest an increased emphasis on terrain. Keywords: Objective depths, Offensive planning norms, Future ware, Surprise, Objectives, Terrain. (kr)
