Default Re: Question for those who were/are in the armed services...
tank units: my data is a bit old (1970's TO & E) but goes like this: 5 tanks per platoon; 17 tanks per company, 54 (?) for Battalion, 155 (?) per brigade (tank pure).

relaize in reality these units get attached/cross-attached to infantry units and vice-versa...

also they had a few APC types in their HQ & Support companies...at least they did back when I got beat up by pig iron

seems to me later tank TO & E had 4 tanks per platoon but not sure...would lower numbers to company/battalion/brigade
