Theater of war
In his book On War, Carl von Clausewitz defines the term Kriegstheater (translating the older, 17th-century Latin term theatrum belli) as one that:}}Theater of operations
Theater of operations (TO) is a sub-area within a theater of war. The boundary of a TO is defined by the commander who is orchestrating or providing support for specific combat operations within the TO.Theater of operations is divided into strategic directions or military regions depending on whether it is a war or peacetime. Unified combatant commands of the Department of Defense (United States) have responsibility for military activities (combat and non-combat) within their area of responsibility.Soviet and Russian Armed Forces
The Soviet and Russian Armed Forces classify a large geographic subdivisionâsuch as continental geographic territories with their bordering maritime areas, islands, adjacent coastsSee: BOOK, Voennyj entsiklopedicheskij slovarj (BES)

, and airspaceâas a theater. The Russian-language term for a military "theater" is , teatr voennykh deistvii (literally: "theater of military operations"), abbreviated , TVD.This geographical division aids strategic and operational planning, allowing military operations of fronts. Fronts were originally named in accordance with their theater of operations; for example the Southwestern Front (Russian Empire) (1914â1918), the 1st Ukrainian Front (1943â1945, which fought in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and Czechoslovakia), and the Northern Front (Soviet Union) (June to August 1941). In peacetime, lacking the urgencies of a strategic direction, fronts were transformed into military regions (districts) responsible for an assigned section of operations.In 1986 the U.S. Department of Defense's Soviet Military Power identified ten continental and four oceanic TVDs, however, most being merely geographical areas without forces or headquarters: North American, South American, African, Australian, Antarctic, Arctic Ocean, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Pacific.BOOK, Department of Defense (United States), Soviet Military Power, March 1986,weblink 12â14, Four others - the Far Eastern, Western, South-Western, and Southern, had identified headquarters established in 1979 and 1984. Plans appear to have existed to form a Northwestern TVD headquarters on the basis of the Staff of the Leningrad Military District.{{sfn|Warner|Bonan|Packman|1984|page=15}}In their most modern form, High Commands for the TVDs were first reestablished in February 1979 for the Far East.{{sfn|Holm|2015}} Harrison wrote in the 2020s that the new command encompassed the Far East Military District and the Transbaikal Military District.{{sfn|Harrison|2022|page=374}} An official military encyclopedia published after the Fall of the Soviet Union stated, said Harrison, that the Soviet Pacific Fleet, an air army, and an air defence corps were also operationally subordinated to the new formation; and that the high command "coordinated" with the armies of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Mongolia.Harrison's source note is VE, 2: 418, which is probably ÐÐ¾ÐµÐ½Ð½Ð°Ñ ÑнÑÐ¸ÐºÐ»Ð¾Ð¿ÐµÐ´Ð¸Ñ Ð² 8 ÑомаÑ

File:GCCMAP.png|thumb|right|Unified Combatant CommandUnified Combatant Command(File: Theater of operations.gif|thumb|right|Chart 12 - typical organization of a theater of operations as envisaged by War Department Doctrine, 1940)The term theater of operations was defined in the American field manuals as the land and sea areas to be invaded or defended, including areas necessary for administrative activities incident to the military operations (chart 12). In accordance with the experience of World War I, it was usually conceived of as a large land mass over which continuous operations would take place and was divided into two chief areasâthe combat zone, or the area of active fighting, and the communications zone, or area required for administration of the theater. As the armies advanced, both these zones and the areas into which they were divided would shift forward to new geographic areas of control.WEB,weblink Chapter VII: Prewar Army Doctrine for Theater, History.amedd.army.mil, 2011-08-31, 2020-02-03,weblink dead,See also
