ABSTRACT
Aviation is having an increasingly great effect on troop movement and the work of the rear. The experience of the war in Spain shows what losses the manpower of the ground armies suffer from aviation and the effect which aviation has on morale if the troops are not able to organize air defense. The increase in modern military equipment and its qualitatively greater complexity make enormous demands on the quality of the fighting man, the quality of the commander, and the quality of control of battle. The victory of socialism in our country and the establishment of first-class industry have insured that the Red Army is supplied with completely modern equipment. According to the requirements of the new Field Service Regulations, long-range tanks supported by artillery fire should pass through the enemy front and capture his routes of withdrawal. This is the main difference between the 1936 Field Service Regulations and the 1929 Regulations.
