Theoperational manoeuvre group (OMG) was aSoviet Army organisationalmanoeuvre warfare concept created during the early 1950s to replace thecavalry mechanized group which performed thedeep operations on theEastern Front during theSecond World War.

The deep operations theory developed in cooperation between theRed Army andWehrmacht theorists in the 1930s later influenced theBlitzkrieg operations and echelon-based doctrine.

In the Soviet Army doctrine the Operational Manoeuvre Groups would be inserted to exploit a breakthrough by aFront during a potential war againstNATO in Europe. In the Soviet doctrine, after themotor-rifle units, heavily supported by artillery, helicopters andclose air support aircraft would have broken NATO front, the operational manoeuvre groups would be inserted to exploit the breakthrough using elements of, or wholetank armies.^[1]

At the Front level an Operational Manoeuvre Group could include twotank divisions and three to five motor-rifle divisions.
