…These estimates may be generated using probabilistic mathematical models (e.g., Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual [JMEM]) that take into account the target’s critical vulnerabilities, performance data on the assets considered for application against the target…

…Vulnerability affects the size and types of action required to damage, disrupt, or otherwise affect a target, in addition to such factors as munitions and fuzing requirements. There are six characteristics that contribute to a target…

…availability, weather conditions, ROE, target range, the number and type of missions in progress, available fuel and munitions, the adversary threat, and the accuracy of targeting acquisition data. This can be the lengthiest phase due to…

…These include such things as peacetime target development, creation and maintenance of targeting support architectures, influencing the development of munitions, and the training and equipping of targeting staffs. The three basic aspects of effects-based operations…

…At present, weaponeering is more developed to support munitions than nonlethal actions. The Services, as well as the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Joint Warfare Analysis Center (JWAC…

…It does not predict the outcome of every munition delivery but represents statistical averages based on modeling, weapons tests, and real-world experience. Weaponeering is normally done by the Targets and Tactical Assessment (TTA) team from…

…Targeteers will not know what munitions will be used to prosecute a target, thus the more precise they are in mensurating coordinates, the more options they will give targeteers during a conflict. Again, this effect is…

…In some cases, assets may be diverted to prosecute these targets with munitions not optimal for the given task. Since these considerations may carry increased risk of mission failure, collateral damage, or even harm to friendly…

(4) Night fighting was the most difficult activity for Russian infantry. The Russian infantry, at all levels, was inadequately trained for night operations, and lacked night vision equipment. (5) Armored vehicles cannot operate in cities without…

…The Russians were ill-prepared for the level of mental health problems they encountered. Additionally, logistics units were often unable to provide fresh drinking water, which caused Russian troops to consume contaminated water that resulted in…

The recapture of Grozny was a significant loss for the Russians, precipitating a general cease-fire and the withdrawal of Russian forces from the Republic. Besides the military aspects of combat in Chechnya, other issues such…

Appendix J Lessons Learned from Russian Military Operations in Chechnya 1994-1996 1. Introduction. Many historical studies of urban combat have become dated. This is primarily the result of the impact that technology has had on…

…Much of the Russian tactical radio traffic was broadcast in the clear, which allowed the Chechens to intercept it. The Chechens were able to redirect Russian airstrikes onto Russian targets, and engage Russian artillery forward observers…

…The Russians lacked sufficient military communication equipment, and had to supplement with commercial assets. (8) Russian tactical communication was very difficult in Grozny. Urban structures in Grozny interfered with Russian military radios, severely hindering tactical communications…

(13) Standard Russian military unit configurations were inappropriate for urban combat. Typical Russian army unit organizations, oriented to open spaces and mechanized operations, proved to be inadequate for urban combat. They eventually had to adopt specially…
