Well probably won't make many friends with this next but that's OK. What I have is the
last USMC Tank Employment/MCWP 3-12 Manual before
Plan 2030 and when the CORPS
divested all their tanks back to the owner of them the USA. This was officially adopted in
March 2014.
You will find no mention of
Active Protection System/or APS.
HOWEVER, you will find how to
properly disperse your smoke grenades. See
F7 & F8 at the end of the document.
Also, we've made the assumption (I believe) that the
AMBRAMS can't or doesn't carry troops. In the case of the
USMC, it would appear this isn't the case at all, though the word "rare" is used in this context.
When to do so is covered. The number carried is
9 Marines.
See
3-6 Figure 3-1 for troop disposition and weapons.
I would further delve into how the USMC has a USA tank formation in the OOB when the use of the games Allie function would seem more appropriate.
It would seem a difficult "
reach" as the USA is falling behind in filling out their own units which has further delayed the USA to officially declare the
M1A2C/SEP 3 at
Full Operation Capability (FOC) unlike they did with the
AMPV as reported earlier this Summer.
Funny how when there's a war the
resources go to other places, so you don't have to go to war.
There is a lot of
REALLY useful information in this document from the player perspective especially for the less experienced players but I saw a couple of things in it I might want to use as well. Of course,
TO&E is also covered, ammo etc. etc.
