Coercion by troops behind the line is described as applying to some Red Army units and situations. Other formations had high morale and did not depend on that pressure. Training and troop quality varied across a vast army operating on different fronts. Cases of untrained conscripts being sent directly into battle therefore do not establish one uniform experience for all Soviet soldiers.

Red Army morale varied across units and fronts
Red Army formations differed in morale and training, so coercion behind the line cannot describe every unit's experience.
