Antimechanized.-Regimental antitank weapons are employed to reinforce the antitank defenses of the leading battalions, to deepen the defense within the regimental zone, and to provide antitank protection on an exposed flank. Platoons are ordinarily placed in firing or cover positions. The platoon(s) protecting the rear portions of the regimental zone is usually located in the area of the regimental command post and the regimental reserve. The situation may frequently require the employment of the rear platoon(s) in forward areas. To expedite such employment the rear platoon(s) will reconnoiter positions and routes to these positions in the forward areas of the regimental zone. [A.
