During the Cold War, what were Soviet Forces stationed abroad expected to do in a war with NATO?
In the past, the Soviet Union had a military presence far from it's borders such as in Syria, South Yemen, Vietnam, Angola, etc. In war planning, did these forces factor at all in an all-out conflict with NATO? By the 1980s, what was the plan for the troops deployed to Afghanistan if a war broke out in Europe?
