Publisher's Synopsis
Finally, a clean copy.
This handbook is intended to assist "officers in broadening their outlook and in resolving many practical problems related to the training and education of subordinates. Organizational principles of the Soviet Armed Forces, including a discussion of Soviet concepts of cadre organization, centralization, and unity of command are covered in Chapter One. The next chapter is concerned with the relationship between the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its Armed Forces, and more specifically between the Party's Central Committee, the Main Political Directorate, the Ministry of Defense, and the Party organizations in military units. Much of this information is pertinent even today and the principles presented continue to be inculcated throughout the Russian armed forces.
