 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 2002
The army was often crudely organized and led, inadequately armed, poorly trained, meagerly paid, and badly fed. Such an army was hardly capable of standing firm in the face of a determined foe.
In such a socio-political environment, the state armies were faced with two major challenges: creating a national loyalty among the soldiers that would surpass their tribal allegiance, and providing the military units with the skills to fight effectively in both counterinsurgencies and conventional wars.
At the death of the Amir the regular army consisted of 80 infantry battalions, 40 cavalry regiments, 100 artillery batteries, and 4,000 household troops.

 Soviet Tank Operations in the Spanish Civil War by Steven J. Zaloga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Tank Regiment sided with the Republic, and their World War I vintage French Renault FT tanks were consolidated in a company under D. Pogodin to support Krivoshein's tanks during the Madrid fighting.
By the end of 1937, the tanks had exceeded their expected mechanical life span, yet the tank units were able to maintain a respectable fraction of their tanks in combat on a daily basis and overall tank losses were modest under the circumstances- 24 tanks of which seven were captured by the Nationalists.
Armies which were already committed to the offensive use of tanks, such as the German Wehrmacht, continued their programs in spite of the poor performance of their own tanks in Spain.

These marking may although theoretically correct may have never been applied to the vehicles of the North Irish Horse as it was known that it would soon be leaving the Brigade and from July 42 onwards control by the Brigade had effectively ceased.
On conversion to an Armoured Brigade (and consequent change of Arm of Service) the serials now reflect the regiment's seniority.
Where applicable I have given precedence to 'first' hand accounts over those from the insignia reference books (which in any case are often contradictory with respect to Army Tank Brigades).
