The armor-airborne team in action. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky 1952-1953.
No full textThe concepts governing armored forces and airborne troops have always been surrounded with an aura of enthusiasm and excitement. By their very nature these two types of units call for actions that possess dash and drive. Armor, with its constant emphasis on mobility and shock action, sees itself as the decisive arm on the battlefield, capable of combat maneuvers that can resolve battles and even wars. The airborne, with its inherently dangerous aspects and its disregard of space factors, sees itself as capable of actions far beyond the battlefield and fixed lines. Thus when consideration is given to these two units we are liable to find ourselves confronted with a combination of tremendous potential.
