Description: Analysis of new Soviet defense military doctrine and strategy with emphasis on strategic role      of Navy and war termination. Author concludes despite Soviet wars, the USSR has not and      cannot repudiate all wars, including nuclear war, since the defense of th homeland remains a      necessary and objective mission of all armed forces. Author argues against separation of war      into nuclear and non-nuclear components. New strategic missions for Soviet armed forces      analyzed along with special considerations for military operations in maritime theaters. Author      concludes that nations can allow greater amount of uncertainty in war termination decisions      than is normally thought and that war termination discussions need to be separated into those      supporting programming, pre-war planning, and during war. Keywords: USSR Tactical      Warfare, Strategic analysis, War potential. (cp)
