This is a key military manual of the Great Patriotic War period, representing the codification of the hard-won combat experience of the Red Army. While the foundational Combat Regulations of the Red Army Infantry were first published in 1942 as a complete revision of obsolete pre-war doctrines, this 1944 edition signifies a further refinement based on several more years of frontline practice. The manual, marked "For official use," was the primary tactical guide for infantry commanders at the small-unit level, covering the actions of soldiers, squads, platoons, and companies. It was developed under the supervision of Major-General P.P. Vechny and edited by Colonel D.N. Pamfilov, incorporating lessons learned from battle-tested officers. The regulations emphasized combined arms tactics, the mass use of combat equipment, and recognized defense and tactical withdrawal as legitimate maneuvers alongside the primary focus on offensive action. As a publication from the concluding phase of the war, this volume is a significant historical source for understanding the evolution of Soviet infantry tactics during WWII.
