I'll second what Jason has said, and add this: both sides would try and maintain troops in contact with the enemy, even though their forces on the front lines are dispersed as to not present nuclear targets. It's not a good idea to fire a nuke-even a low-yield weapon like a 155-mm shell if the enemy unit across from you is within rifle range, because blast, heat, and thermal radiation do not respect unit boundaries! They'll be hitting rear-area targets instead of forces in the field, unless a battlefield situation presents itself that using an SS-21 or a Lance (or Lance successor) is necessary.
