Section I. 1. Purpose and Scope a. As we look to the future, one of the infan¬ try's missions will continue to be to maintain the capability and readiness to defeat large enemy armor forces. In accomplishing this mission the infantry will be supported by all available means; to include at various times, tactical air¬ craft, field artillery, attack helicopters (some armed with a TOW), and tanks. But all of this support does not diminish the requirement that the infantryman be highly skilled and confident in using his organic antiarmor weapons and expe¬ dient devices to slow, canalize, and destroy armor. Intensive training is required in order to develop such skill and confidence.
