Under the festival’s regulations, participating batteries carried equipment, maneuvered and overcame different terrains much like real combat conditions. They had to perform day and night live-fire exercise with 100mm mortars, recoilless gun SPG-9, RPG-7 antitank grenade launcher, and AK submachine gun.

The festival was a chance for the Party Committee and chain-of-command of Army Corps 3 to make comprehensive evaluation of the commanding competence, maneuverability, use of weapons and equipment of artillery officers and soldiers.
