Tank Company of Independent Tank Battalion*
*
After the FDF started receiving T-72s, some tanks were organized into so called Independent Tank Battalions. These battalions would be used to support the Jaeger Brigades, in similar way as with the old Tank Battalion was to be used in the old Armoured Brigade organization.*
*
These tank companies are identified from the tank companies of armoured battalions with the name "support" that describes the use of these companies better. These support companies would in most cases be attached to jaeger battalions for support and there propably attached as platoons to the jaeger companies.*

As the role is to support the attacking infantry, destroying enemy tanks and armoured vehicles as well as fortifications. These formations are phased out of duty at the same time as the old soviet equipment is being removed from use.*
