Tank Company of Armoured Battalion*
*
In 1980s the armoured brigade was equiped with new tanks and IFVs bought from the USSR. New organization for the armoured brigade was also introduced. Before the brigade had a tank battalion and 3-5 (panzer-)jaeger battalions. Now armoured brigade has 3 armoured battalions consisting of 2 tank companies and 2 panzerjaeger companies.*

Now the tanks would no longer be divided to the jaegers, which meant that the tank battalions could be used with more flexibility. Tanks would be used in more open areas and jaegers in wooded areas. Tanks and infantry were trained to work together in different situations. A common thig to do was to cross-attach platoons from tank and pzjaeger companies to give the tanks infantry cover they would need in wooded areas and the infantry tank support to deal with enemy tanks and for long range fire support.*
