Operation of the separate tank battalion. A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1949-1950.
No full textAs is indicated in the title of this paper, the problem under study is the employment of the separate tank battalion in support of infantry units in the European Theater of Operations during World War II. Separate tank battalions were employed in that theater with the infantry divisions under many circumstances. It was, therefore, decided to isolate a typical example of this employment and use it to illustrate the problems encountered, the techniques employed, and the results as written in history. The particular type of operation under study is the river crossing and the means whereby the tank battalion assisted the infantry units in the accomplishment of their mission.
