Should tank units be trained in indirect fire? A research report prepared at The Armored School, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1951-1952.
No full textThis paper is limited in scope to a study of the employment of tanks in direct fire roles in the Korean conflict only, and to determine from a study of this area alone whether tank units should be trained for indirect fire. Therefore, members of this committee have tried to put aside any pre-conceived ideas on this subject, to disregard any World War II studies on this subject, and to consider the problem entirely from events that took place in Korea between July 1950 and December 1951.
