A cavalry-mechanized group was a type of military formation used in the Red Army during World War II against Germany and Japan. == Organization == A cavalry-mechanized group normally consisted of a corps of cavalry (a unit smaller than a standard infantry division despite its name) and a mechanized corps, and was slightly stronger than a German Panzergrenadier division. The main force element providing combat power was the armoured and motorized formations of the mechanized corps, while the horse-mounted elements of the cavalry corps provided increased flexibility in infiltration and fighting in difficult terrain such as large forests, or swamps, and the ability to continue mobile operations when cut off from supply lines. Cavalry-mechanized groups were often named after their commander, for example ''Cavalry-Mechanized Group Pliyev''. As an example, during the 1945 Soviet invasion of Manchuria, the Soviet-Mongolian Cavalry-Mechanized Group under the command of Colonel General I.A.Pliyev consisted of the following units:〔http://niehorster.orbat.com/012_ussr/45-08-08/army_cav-mech.html〕 *85th Rifle Corps Headquarters * *59th Cavalry Division * *25th Mechanized Brigade * *27th Motorized Rifle Brigade * *43d Tank Brigade * *30th Motorcycle Regiment * *Aviation-Mixed Division (Mongolian) * *5th Mongolian Cavalry Division * *6th Mongolian Cavalry Division * *7th Mongolian Cavalry Division * *8th Mongolian Cavalry Division * *7th Motorized Armored Brigade (Mongolian) * *3d Separate Tank Regiment (Mongolian) * *35th Tank Destroyer Artillery Brigade * *1914th Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment * *1917th Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment * *60th Guards Mortar Regiment (Rocket Launchers) * *3d Artillery Regiment (Mongolian) The formation operated in two march columns during the first stage of the battle, advancing rapidly against light opposition, preceded by forward detachments: Column 1: *25th Mechanized Bde *43d Tank Bde *267th Tank Regt Column 2: *27th Mechanized Rifle Bde *7th Armored Car Bde *30th Motorcycle Regt 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cavalry mechanized group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
