Deep Operation
종심작전
A Soviet military doctrine developed in the 1920s–1930s by Triandafillov, Tukhachevsky, and Isserson, centered on striking simultaneously through the entire depth of the enemy's defenses, tactical, operational, and strategic, to paralyze command, supply, and reserves rather than merely breaking through the front line. Adopted into the 1936 Red Army Field Regulations (PU-36), it was applied in the large-scale offensives of the later Second World War and continues to influence modern doctrines including the U.S. AirLand Battle concept.
