		Armour has provided battle winning shock action and firepower since the earliest tanks helped to break the stalemate of the Western Front during the First World War.
		In the same way, armoured reconnaissance, with the ability to penetrate the enemy’s forward defences and gain information by using stealth and firepower, has shaped the way in which armour has been used to its best advantage.
		The ability of armour to overwhelm all but the heaviest defences and deliver a group of highly capable armoured fighting platforms into the combat area remains a battle winning capability embraced by all major armies.

		Periodically, units in the Royal Armoured Corps and the Infantry, and some in the Royal Artillery, move geographically and change role.
		This average 'operational tour interval' is calculated by relating the number of operational commitments to the number of units in an Arm available to undertake them (in the Infantry, for example, this excludes a number of battalions such as those resident in Northern Ireland).
		On the basis of current commitments (including the Hong Kong commitment from later this year), average tour intervals in 1996-97 are projected to be 25 months for the Royal Armoured Corps, 24 months for the Royal Artillery, 20 months for the Infantry and 12 months for the Royal Engineers.
