Language: | English | Abstract: | Commanders use combat support to multiply the combat power of their manoeuvre companies. For an effective manoeuvre combat support, it is of key importance that all battle support elements understand the situation and provide timely operational support at the decisive point, where they produce the expected result. The anti-armour platoon is part of combat support forces. The battalion battle group is designed as a task force. Through its combat effectiveness, mobility and survivability, it can meet the requirements for rapid response, sustainability and self-sufficiency. The anti-armour platoon, structured as a module, is attached to the battalion battle group. The structure itself and the size of individual elements in the battalion battle group are determined and generated individually for each operation. The mission of the anti-armour platoon as a generic element of the battalion battle group is to provide direct fire support in all major types of operation. All of the above aspects have to be in accordance with the restrictions and normative acts. Among the normative acts, special attention should be paid to the Mid-Term Defence Programme of the Republic of Slovenia and the proposed NATO Capability Targets for the Republic of Slovenia within the planned Capability Target 1501. | Keywords: | anti-armour platoon, combat support, module, battalion battle group, manoeuvre, anti-armour operation, anti-tank missile system Spike |
