A standard reconnaissance battalion. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1952-1953.
No full textIn the army today there are two distinct organizations both of which are called reconnaissance battalions. One of these battalions is found in the Armored Division. It is made up of four reconnaissance companies with the normal headquarters and logistical elements. The other battalion, in the Armored Cavalry Regiment, has three reconnaissance companies, a tank company 90mm gun and a howitzer company.
Would anything be accomplished by standardizing these two battalions? Can a partial or increased standardization be justified? Should either organization be changed, if so how? The scope of this study is directed at finding the answers to these questions. The scope also includes other questions which cane to mind when considering the problems, pro and con, of standardizing the reconnaissance battalions in our army.

A simplified system of organizational maintenance for track vehicles in combat. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1952-1953.
No full textRemembering the astronomic cost of the equipment with which we are working, the practical and human considerations involved, and the deadly seriousness of the game we are playing, we propose, in this study, to test the army maintenance system from every practicable angle. Does it fit the new equipment? Are authorizations for personnel and tools too fat or too lean? Can the modified version used in combat be tailored to fit non-combat operation? Do we over maintain? How great is the spare parts problem? Can the overall system be simplified?
