This is a reprint of the 1944 tactical doctrine publication (Field Manual 17-42) issued by the US Army to address how an Armored Infantry Battalion was to operate in the field. The scope of this publication covers nearly every aspect of combat including command and control, conduct of offensive action, reconnaissance, deploying so as to minimize detection, using terrain to gain advantages on both attack and defense, recovery of damaged vehicles, etc. The level of detail ranges from large (Battalion) to small (individual tank/Squad).
