	Battlefield Operational Functions And The Soviet Campaign Against Japan In 1945
		Background: Operation AUGUST STORM, the Soviets' victorious attack on Japanese forces in Manchuria in August 1945 was a decisive campaign.
		Additionally, at the operational and tactical levels, effective command and control requires adequate communications between commanders, and subordinate initiative based on standard operating proce- dures and knowledge of the senior commander's intent.
		At the strategic and operational levels, the Soviets' protection was superb in that they concealed the size and disposition of their forces from the Japanese, and were able to achieve a high degree of surprise in their attack of 9 August.
