	Reader's Companion to Military History - - Armor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Use of body armor was evident in the Western military tradition beginning with the hoplite warrior of ancient Greece.
		Modern armored warfare began in World War I when the American invention of the caterpillar tractor was married to the armored car and given high-caliber weapons.
		During World War II, armored doctrine evolved because of the development of new armored vehicles (especially the Russian T-34/85 tank and the German Panther tank), and tactical developments such as the Russian use of operational maneuver groups (composed of armor, self-propelled artillery, and mechanized infantry units) and Erwin Rommel's deep attacks in Africa.

		The Armored Force was born on July 10, 1940, with the Headquarters, Armor Force and the Headquarters, I Armored Crops established at Fort Knox.
		The training reflected the rapid evolution of armored warfare doctrines, which changed constantly in the face of battle experience and in the alterations to the force structure and its tables of organization and equipment.
		The 2nd Armored Division fought in Sicily in 1943, then on June 9, 1944, was the first American armored division to land in /France, The division fought in all of the campaigns in northwestern Europe, becoming the first U.S. unit to reach the Elbe River and enter Berlin.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly, Autumn - 1997
		The evolution of armored vehicles will be driven by technology and strategic requirements, but, above all, by the changing environment of combat: the increasing urbanization of warfare, and the growing transparency of traditional non-urban operations--in which we will be able to monitor the activities of enemy forces in real time.
		Armored vehicles, using drones or ground robotics or hyper-sensors, must not only be able to see into multi-story structures and down into sewers, subways, and service tunnels, but must be able to introduce soldiers--in a protected manner--to upper-story or subterranean zones of operation.
		Other armored units move swiftly through the city to establish a mobile presence and seize control of line-of-communication nodes and routes of ingress to and egress from the city.

	mechanized warfare. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Central to the waging of mechanized warfare are the tank and armored vehicle, with support and supply from motorized columns and aircraft.
		Although the basic essentials of mechanized warfare were thus established early, it was not until Germany attacked Poland at the start of World War II that its full potentials were revealed.
		German armored (Panzer) divisions, supported by aircraft, proved their worth in Poland and France and later won spectacular successes in the Balkans, the Soviet Union, and Africa.

	Toward Combined Arms Warfare: a Survey. . .
		Since then, twentieth century warfare and especially mechanized warfare have developed to the point at which some form of combined arms is essential for survival, let alone victory, on the battlefield.
		Yet the very complexity of this warfare leads to specialization in both training and maintenance, a specialization that is currently reflected in the formation of companies and battalions consisting of one or at most three different major weapons systems.
		Unlike most advocates of armor, he considered antitank weapons to be an essential part of the mechanized combined arms team, rather than the defender of the traditional arms against the new weapons.

	Medieval Warfare
		The form of warfare in Medieval Europe was that which developed out of the military traditions and practices of the German tribes that overran the Roman empire in the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries.
		This last element was neccessary because the Swiss often fought in broken, hilly terrain (that is, Switzerland) and had to be flexible and swift to prevent the mounted knights from hitting them in their vulnerable flanks or rear.
		The English had an advantage in sieges for most of the war (until the French developed superior cannon) because their yeomen were more effective at siege warfare.

		A fully armored fighter is presumed to be wearing a light-weight, short sleeved, knee length, riveted chainmail hauberk over a padded gambeson, with boiled leather arm and leg defenses.
		A fully armored fighter is one who is properly wearing all the required armor to meet or exceed the minimum standards as sat forth in the Rules and Regulations of the SCA and the Kingdom.
		All such steel used for armor construction that is required to meet a minimum gauge should be checked by an accurate measuring device before being used for such purpose.

	Armored Vehicle Identification: The Key To Survival
		Conclusion: A requirement exists for a comprehensive armored vehicle identification training and evaluation program to improve the individual's and crew's ability to rapidly distinguish between who is friend or foe, maximize survivability of friendly forces, and produce long range distructive fire on the enemy.
		The acquisition of additional anti-armor assets and advances in the organization and employment of armor and anti-armor weapons have significantly improved the Marine Corps' capability to fight armored forces.2 Although the Marine Corps possesses modern armor and anti-armor weapons, Marines are not properly trained in armored vehicle identification.
		An armored battlefield scenario is used for much of this training which exposes Marines to virtually every type of tank and armored personnel carrier in the NATO inventory.19 Additionally, in 1977 the Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center at Twenty-Nine Palms, California, consisting of 932 square miles, was opened for mechanized training.

		Armored horsemen [heavy cavalry] provide one of the earliest examples of the concept of armored warfare.
		Armored plating for the purposes of warfare largely fell under naval developments for the primary shift away from wooden vessels from the Civil War onward.
		Trench warfare, on the other hand, was a totally new concept in combat and it tested the mettle of many a fine army and many an otherwise fine commander.

	Stellar Age
		From the earliest period of armored warfare, a determined artillery crew or an individual with a grenade or firebomb could stop a tank.
		Nevertheless, in the absence of special purpose antitank weapons and tactics, armored vehicles proved to be weapons of decision in land warfare in their first few decades.
		The aura of armored vehicles began to fade when portable antitank missiles and guided antitank missiles were introduced, and the situation worsened when infantry began to carry energy weapons such as laser and bolt rifles.

	The Little-Known Story of Percy Hobart
		Development of an independent armored force was stifled on that side of the Atlantic, although General Douglas MacArthur held a vision of the military future similar to that of Percy Hobart.
		Continuing antagonism toward tanks, tank advocates and the new concepts of armored warfare characterized the high command of the army, and Hobart was never sure that his next war game would not be his last.
		But his ideas of how an armored force should be handled, and what it could achieve when operating in strategical independence of orthodox forces, had been contrary to the views of more conservative superiors.

		Are armored units representing only a small part of the army mainly to be tasked to defend the country from an attack and in the secondary role of supporting the light forces, infantry and airborne forces, in PSO operations?
		The capabilities of armored forces have been greatly underestimated in recent times merely on the fact that they are more expensive and especially because they more difficult and slower to transport over large distances.
		Disregarding all historic knowledge of using MBTs in warfare, the MBT has to be accompanied with infantry to secure the area especially in all close in fighting.

		Commanding his armored corps from his own tank, at the head of his troops, Guderian crossed the border on September 1 and within four days had penetrated the major Polish defenses.
		John Fuller and other armored enthusiasts had an impact on Guderian’s ideas, but it was the German panzer leader who made armored warfare a reality.

		The German infantry and armored branches never were able to agree on an armored theory, and the infantry actually became more dominant as the war progressed.
		Oh, certainly the Germans shocked the world into armored warfare, and were good at it, but perhaps not as advanced as is often claimed.
		After that, when an armored branch was created, most of the cavalrymen, who were professionals, seemed to just step into it seamlessly, which was to their credit as professional soldiers.

		Christie designed and built a series of tanks around the premise that armored warfare would be fast paced and would necessitate a tank that could battle at speeds unheard of during the 1930s.
		He gave little attention to its fighting capability beyond the fundamentals of sufficient armored protection and a suitable gun mount for a main weapon of reasonable caliber for the day.

		New ideas on warfare are brought forward by a positive, "can-do" attitude focused on minimizing the effects of enemy countermeasures to exploit a new capability so as to realize the potential benefits of the new system or method.
		Thoughts on Twenty-First Century Warfare is, however, more geared to the overall subject of maneuver warfare and analyzes the cyclic effects of technological advances on forms of warfare with a particular emphasis on maneuver.
		Armored vehicles no longer encumbered with meeting the rigors of tank-to-tank duels, can be designed light enough to gain Airborne/Air Assault agility, yet possess the lethality through high-technology indirect weapons to destroy massed armor.
