Tank Battalion Study

Abstract

The Tank Battalion Study is an analytical evaluation using the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) at Ft Knox Ky. The tested alternative structures are the 4 company, 3 platoon, 3 tank per platoon and the 3 company, 3 platoon, 4 tank per platoon battalion configurations. The study centered around a tank battalion, with one company of manned tank simulators combined with Semi Automated Forces, making a deliberate attack in an open desert and a visually constrained central European scenario. The threat systems consisted of one to three mechanized rifle companies in a deliberate defense. Doctrine, Training, Leadership, Organization, Material and Soldiers considerations are also included in this evaluation.
