	Armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armour or armor (see spelling differences) is protective clothing intended to defend its wearer from intentional harm in combat and military engagements, typically associated with soldiers.
		In modern usage, Armour, or the armoured is also a heavily armoured military force or organization, such as heavy infantry or heavy cavalry (as opposed to light infantry or cavalry).
		In modern armoured warfare, armoured units equipped with tanks serve the historic role of heavy cavalry, and belong to the armoured branch in a national army's organization (sometimes, the armoured corps).

		Armoured, aviation and mechanised units were assigned to the JRDF in order to allow it to counter a wide range of threat scenarios.
		To fill this void the concept of the medium force emerged, in which rapid reaction force units were to be equipped with so-called ‘medium’ armoured vehicles.
		At the same time as the UK is moving to develop its medium force, the British Army is also working to enhance its heavy armoured forces to ensure they remain capable as a war fighting force.

		Broadly, the instructions determined that the armoured forces at that time represented a subsidiary means of combat, their basic role being to carry out thrusts into the enemy suddenly, in combination with rifle troops and horse-cavalry.
		The armoured forces of the Red Army were used with some success on the fronts during the Civil War, and these troops carried out various kinds of combat actions.
		Together with extensions to the roles of armoured units during battles and operations, and increases in their numbers, improvements took place also in the organisational structure of the armoured forces' central command.

		The SRG is reported to consist of four brigades and has its own armour, air defence and artillery units.

	Handling of Armour in Indo-Pak War
		The armoured brigade thus initially did nothing in the first twelve days of the war as happens in all successful model discussions at the staff college and the defence college, but was finally ordered to eliminate an enemy force which had achieved a limited breakthrough.
		Thus once Indira Gandhi mobilised her forces in the wake of the Sikh Insurgency and concentrated them close to the border in mid-September Pakistani armour was in bad shape both technically as well as maintenance wise having the same old 1966-71 T-59 tanks.
		The Divisional Battle Schools of Armoured Divisions were dumping grounds of superseded or near superseded majors and colonels and their cardinal attribute was “silence of a graveyard” as I pointed out to a letter to editor of Citadel magazine in mid-1998.

	soc.history.war.vietnam FAQ: Use of Armoured Vehicles
		However, with the increasing use of armour by ARVN and allied forces, it was obvious to the VPA and perhaps more importantly their Soviet and Chinese advisers, that the best counter was their own armoured vehicles.
		It was though, the ability of armoured units to bring to bear relatively large, massive amounts of fairly discriminatory firepower that was extremely mobile, was the major reason why all participants in the war turned to its use.
		As a consequence, whereas American armoured units often operated independently of infantry formations, the squadron of tanks and APC's which were part of the Australian Task Force operated primarily in close cooperation and support of the infantry force within the Task Force.

		Corporal Macey and Lance Corporal Coe who were travelling in an adjacent armoured personnel carrier, saw the plight of the soldiers trapped in the burning carrier and despite heavy small arms and grenade fire from enemy bunkers, dismounted in full view of the enemy and ran to the disabled vehicle.
		Lance Corporal Moore dismounted with his crew Commander and covered by the gunner of the tank, they moved forward to the armoured personnel carrier which was five yards from two enemy bunkers, carrying a tow rope from their tank and attached it to the armoured personnel carrier.

		The entire range of popular iconography associated with the Baath Party regime, including statues and posters of Saddam, are being systematically destroyed by the 25mm guns of Bradley armoured fighting vehicles and the cannons of Abrams tanks.
		With the ability to "lift and shift" such firepower at will, US forces are capable of directing a devastating barrage of free-fall bombs and dedicated munitions with pinpoint accuracy anywhere within the city.
		While US and British troops were engaged by concentrations of Iraqi troops at strategic choke points, at no point did the Iraqi military manoeuvre their forces forward in a co-ordinated or pro-active manner.

	Review of Modelkrak:s 1/72 Lanchester WW1 British Armoured Car
		Thirty-six Lanchester armoured cars were completed by the end of March 1915 and were used to equip three squadrons of the R.N.A.S. All of these squadrons were in France by May and one of them later served with the Belgian Army.
		This force had as its nucleus both in personnel and equipment the Lanchester squadron which had been supporting the Belgian Army and was supplemented by a heavy squadron of the R.N.A.S. and extra transport, many of the service vehicles being on Lanchester chassis.
		Withdrawn from this area, the R.N.A.S. force was sent via the north shore of the Black Sea to support the Russians in Roumania and in Galicia (south Poland) where they were in action before the end of the year.

	Chapter 3 Pursuit to the west; Giarabub; The Retreat; Siege of Tobruk
		During the afternoon an enemy force of 13 tanks, 4 armoured cars and 3,000 infantry attacked the positions held by the 2/13th Battalion at Er Regima, and orders were issued for the evacuation of Tocra Pass-Er Regima line.
		It was not surprising, therefore, that a primarily German force was used when the enemy made a determined drive against the Medauuar sector on the morning of 1st May. This time he meant to overwhelm finally the Tobruk defenders.
		The German armoured formations in Cirenaica now seemed to be reserved for holding off British forces on the Sollum front, and for probing south-eastward on the escarpment edge in the Halfya Pass area.

		THE size of the force detailed by Geoff Hoon left many surprised but was seen as a clear signal that the UK is committed to taking part in some sort of military action against Iraq, despite his claims that it did not "represent a commitment of British troops to military action".
		The force is being well-provided with medical cover, with two field hospitals and three regiments of ambulances being incorporated in the force under the command of 102 Logistics Brigade.
		Although not mentioned in the announcement, the force is expected to be supported by a strong contingent of RAF and Royal Navy support helicopters to provide specialist casualty evacuation and troop transport, as well as Hercules transport aircraft.

	Battle of Barapind-Jarpal 16 Dec 1971
		The 8 Armoured Brigade was not tasked to do anything to wrest initiative from the enemy and the 6 Armoured Division and 17 Infantry Division were also assigned no offensive roles and were in MODC role (Ministry of Defence Constabulary)10.
		At 0515 hours the armoured brigade headquarters issued a warning order assessing an enemy tank squadron and an infantry battalion which had crossed the Basantar Nala and was established in area Lalial Forest and was being 'contained by own infantry and an independent squadron'22.
		It is possible that Brigadier Ahmad was forced to bring in 31 Cavalry since the high losses of 13 Lancers had created a grave situation which could be remedied only by bringing in another tank regiment, to deter the Indians from exploiting their tremendous success against 13 Lancers.

	Britain prepares tanks for war against Saddam (ALLIANCE UPDATE) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The likely make-up of the British force can be judged on the basis of recent public statements from the Ministry of Defence which has been struggling to find 19,000 troops to train for firefighting duties in the event of a national strike by firefighters.
		The 18 units also included elements of 4th Armoured Brigade, such as the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, the clearest signal that the plan is to boost 7th Armoured Brigade with extra firepower from their Warrior armoured vehicles.
		A second full armoured brigade to double the ground troop contribution would take much longer to organise and might not meet Washington’s timescale for military action if Saddam Hussein were to renege on any weapons inspection resolution imposed by the United Nations Security Council.
