About BTGs. I would think of this more as a unit of organization, but less as a unit of force employment given how the war has been fought. Someone suggested if you take out x% of a BTG then it becomes combat ineffective. Small thread. 1/
In a war against an opponent fighting combined arms with sizable formations, sure. In this war without battalion level engagements, not really. They’re moving as BTGs, but dispersed, and not fighting as BTGs in engagements. The fights are relatively small. 2/
Attrition is attrition. But the BTG is generally not fighting as a cohesive formation in this war, more as company tactical groups. End.
Forgot to add that in the opening days you really did not see combined arms. Tank companies without infantry support. Motor rifle on the road without tanks. Support units on their own without escort. That changed after first couple of days.
