About

Future battles will be mobile and violent, with emphasis on rapid fire capability, increased speed, and maneuverability. Light cavalry crews must be prepared to take maximum advantage of these capabilities. To defeat the threat and survive on the battlefield, light cavalry crews must be well trained. The threat is a worthy opponent—well trained with excellent equipment. His order of battle includes the use of massive indirect-fire barrages combined with accurate and lethal direct-fire weapons. These direct-fire weapons consist primarily of large bore, high velocity tank cannons and long-range antitank guided missiles. The threat will try to neutralize allied air power with both longrange and short-range air defense weapons, deployed well forward in the battle area. A numerically larger force, the threat believes in using massed forces to overwhelm opponents.
