Evaluation and Integration of Non-Soviet Warsaw Pact Forces into the Combined Armed Forces

Jeffrey Simon

The Warsaw Pact is a political and military organization. Politically it provides the Soviet Union with a mechanism for coordinating non-Soviet Warsaw Pact (NSWP) policy. Militarily it provides a mechanism for maintaining command and control of NSWP forces. Since many political and military differences have developed between the Soviet Union and its NSWP allies since the creation of the Warsaw Pact in 1955, the pact has evidenced a significant structural-functional evolution, in part, to develop and to refine its capabilities.

Based upon a survey of 125 Warsaw Pact exercises (1961–82), this chapter examines Soviet efforts to improve the Combined Command’s ability to command and control NSWP forces and evaluates the coalitional warfighting capability of the pact’s Combined Armed Forces (CAF).1
