конно-механизированная группа (A cavalry-mechanized group was a type of military formation used during World War II. A cavalry-mechanized group normally consisted of a corps of cavalry and a mechanized corps. The main force element providing combat power was the armoured and motorized formations of the mechanized corps, while the horse-mounted elements of the cavalry corps provided increased flexibility in infiltration and fighting in difficult terrain such as large forests, or swamps, and the ability to continue mobile operations when cut off from supply lines.
