This study will first describe the static levels of Soviet naval forces assumed, then the assignment into each of the four main fleets. Next, task groups and units will be created. Finally, a data base for all major ocean areas is created using the raw numbers and task groups/units assumed. The final product is an unclassified data base of Soviet navy major war fighting assets with availability for participation in a conflict/crisis with no strategic/tactical warning given (bolt from the blue), where a surge of those units immediately ready for sea is done, or where mobilization and strategic warning is given. From this data base, scenarios may be tested against capability or force engagement modeling may be conducted.
