THE RESEARCH OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SMALL TACTICAL GROUPS IN THE SERVICE AND COMBAT ACTIVITIES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

Abstract

The research of the effectiveness of small tactical groups in the service and combat activities of law enforcement.

The work considers increasing the efficiency of small tactical groups due to the criterion approach. The choice of battle formation, the optimal number of personnel, the qualitative composition of a small tactical group depends on the conditions of the battle (location, terrain, vegetation, time of day, time of year, the number and types of enemy weapons, the tasks of the small tactical group, etc.). One of the main criteria for the effectiveness of the actions of a small tactical group is the degree of protection of the group, the absence of losses among the personnel of the group in the conditions of conducting search operations, possible fire contact and combat. Personal security measures depend on the group's tactics and vary them. Improving the tactics of actions of small tactical groups based on personal safety measures is a promising addition to research.

The cited results of studies of one of the tactical criteria, such as the reduction of the probability of losses. To study this issue, a mathematical method was used using trigonometric functions. Depending on the direction of fire of one enemy, the angle of the firing sector was determined. The boundary condition is the requirement, that the larger the shooter's firing sector, the greater the probability of hitting the entire group. The next condition for reducing losses is the maximum number of group fighters who are on the same line. The fewer group members are on the same line, the less likely the group will be defeated. The type of combat formation and the way it moves during fire contact can reduce possible losses. As a result of the analysis of the criterion, the recommendations are given to improve the efficiency of small tactical groups.As a result of the conducted analysis, it was established that the degree of protection is influenced by the methods and pace of movement, camouflage, communication in a stable group, which is the direction of our further research. The conducted experiments confirmed the theoretical and empirical studies.
