About

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL Section 1. GENERAL 1. Purpose and Scope a. This manual covers specific doctrine, tactics, techniques, procedures, and organization of all tank units, platoon through battalion. b. The procedures described herein are intended as guides only and are not to be considered inflexible. Each new situation in combat must be solved by an intelligent interpretation and application of the doctrine set forth herein, and not by blind adherence to any set of rigid rules. e. This manual must be used in conjunction with FM 17-1. General information contained in FM 17-1 is repeated in this manual only where necessary to insure clarity and understanding. Although this manual deals primarily with tank units, it emphasizes the fact that tanks normally operate in close coordination with other arms, and that success in battle is certain only when all arms and services work together. d.
