The heavy reconnaissance vehicle for the reconnaissance platoon. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1952-1953.
No full textThis report is written to present to the reader an unbiased answer to the question of the light gun tank versus the medium gun tank versus the armored car for the heavy unit for the reconnaissance platoon. The committee attempted to face the issue squarely from the start and to leave no stone unturned in arriving at its conclusions and recommendations. However, certain limitations were encountered which prevented a thorough investigation of every aspect of the problem.

The control group, AN/GRA-6 and the retransmission unit control C-435/GRC. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1952-1953.
No full textThe increase in technological developments during recent years and the introduction of new equipment in the Army based upon these developments is bound to bring up the question of the practical value of this new equipment to combat units in the field. This study answers that question concerning two units of recently developed signal equipment. This equipment is new, has never been tested in combat, and has received very little use by units in the field. This limits the comprehensiveness of the report to that information available from these units, and the results of tests made by various organizations. Deductions have been made by the committee to fill in the gap between the known information and the unknown. This committee is confident that these deductions will prove to be sound as the equipment receives further use in the field.
