"A commander and their staff have to prepare around 20 documents, the final ones of which should establish the balance of forces and assets, the distribution of units among the elements of the battle formation, and the balance of combat capabilities. This is a labour-intensive process in terms of the personnel involved," Yurii Kliat explained.
