Thank you for the update. I am, in lack of a better Word, fascinated by these attacks when units are transferred in and out of an area. Personally I would dem that as a a high risk operation under any circumstances. But now it seems the Russians have done this several times. Shouldnt somebody try to do it better/different? Fascinating lack of willingness to adapt. But very sad.
There's an entire list of things to do in a rotation, as with any operation. Command needs to be briefed by command. Intel needs to track patterns with intel. Logistics needs to talk to logistics. And company level leadership needs to recon the front and talk to the existing defenders they will relieve. In each of these cases they need to learn about the terrain and enemy behaviors, plus pass on any lessons learned.
Debriefing and lessons learned should be a standard part of any operation. It is not only a way for that unit to figure out how to do things better, it's information that could be passed on to other units. From what I read, this is one characteristic that is more common in the successful Ukrainian units, but it is not a universally established practice. And so actions that have failed in the past are sometimes repeated.
Thank you for part2.
Thanks Don on to #3
The national guard seems to be performing pretty well
Ultimately, it comes down to leadership. From there you get training, discipline, procedures, morale, etc.
