Anti-Armor Defense Data Study (A2D2). Volume 2. U.S. Anti-Tank Defense at Mortain, France (August, 1944)
Abstract
The objective of the effort was to collect detailed historical data on at least five combat actions where US forces were defending against enemy armor attacks. The data set will be used in a joint US/UK analysis of the degradation in anti-armor defense effectiveness under combat conditions. The resulting degradation factors will allow projections of the combat performance of future anti-armor defenses to be based upon a balanced combination of historical and instrumented field test data. A complete description of the work performed by SAIC is found in Volume I, Technical Report. This Volume describes the result of the detailed data collection on the engagements at Mortain, France, during World War II. The engagements examined were Le Fantay, St. Barthelmy, and Abbaye Blanche. Fourteen combat actions were described from these engagements.
