  Tank classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earlier cruiser tanks were largely replaced by larger cruisers such as the Crusader series, though in some cases reverted to even lighter (but better-armoured) scouting tanks such as the U.S. M3 Stuart (referred to by its crews as the 'Honey').
Medium tanks were neither the heaviest nor lightest in the arsenal, and many of the designs had successful balance of firepower, mobility, protection, and endurance and could often be adapted to a variety of roles.
There were medium tanks that focused on anti-infantry capabilities, such as in WWII the Panzer IV short-barrel and the Sherman with a 75 mm gun, and medium tanks that were more focused on the anti-tank role, such as the later versions of both those tanks and T-34s.

Another cavalry improvement in 1863 was the establishment of a Cavalry Bureau, the chief of which was charged with responsibility for organizing and equipping the cavalry forces and providing their mounts and remounts.
Cavalry officers also fought for the establishment of a remount station where all cavalry horses would be broken and trained before being shipped to the troops, and where better horses could be bred.
Cavalry was given the task of developing combat vehicles that would "enhance its power in roles of reconnaissance, counterreconnaissance, flank action, pursuit, and similar operations." One of its regiments was to be equipped exclusively with such vehicles.
