Some Explanation Of Head-On Battle ...

... or as Lester Grau somewhat mistakenly terms it a "meeting battle". The reason he uses this term is because in Russian it is встречный бой, which literally is meeting but semantically it is head-on.  

Why the distinction is crucial? Because any battle by definition is a "meeting battle", but in the US Field Manual FM/ATP 3-21.8 "movement to contact", as an example, is defined as: 

Movement to contact is a type of offensive operation designed to develop the situation and establish or regain contact. It ends when enemy contact is made. 

But head-on battle, is when BOTH sides, using US FM's terms, are conducting "movement to contact", of when deploying from the march columns. One of the most, if not the MOST famous head-on battles in history is, of course, the clash from march of Rotmistrov's 5th Tank Army with the II SS Panzer Corps, HEAD-ON at Prokhorovka during Kursk Battle--a cataclysmic event, which, of course, later was "properly" and promptly misrepresented by the US Army History Department official employees such as Mainstein and Hausser. 

As you all remember--those very generals and marshals who lost the war to Russians. Why did I post this here? In my today's video which should be up shortly (an hour or so), I explain SitRep from SMO's battle lines by one of the actual officers at Zaporozhe operational axis who absolutely demolishes BS from 404 (MI6-CIA) propaganda about some "offensive" and describes HEAD-ON battles (бои) around Priluki and Kosovtsevo.

Those are not real operations--it is throwing remaining cannon fodder into meatgrinder and, putting 404 flags in the outskirts of some hamlet, making a photo or video and then ... run. This is how NATO "fights"--PR primarily. So, when the video pops up--this is for those who will be watching it to the end to orient themselves in relation to what Russian officers at battle lines say. Now, down the memory lane, well into the 1920s.
