Armor in the deliberate river crossing.
No full textCrossing of terrain obstacles has always presented a great problem to armies. The development of the armored full track vehicle, the tank, has assisted commanders in overcoming terrain obstacles to a certain extent. However, due to the great size and weight of the tank, river crossing presents a greater obstacle to armor than to any other unit. The role of armor in a river crossing is the subject of this study.
