The equivalent would be Senior Colonels (they don't have a Brigadier/Brigadier-General rank). The answer to that would be no, not at that level. The smallest combined arms formation for the East Bloc is the regiment. So, the SrCols are tasked with planning and issuing orders to battalion and companies who do not have the staff numbers needed to do their own planning.
