Correct techniques of tank-in
fantry teamwork were demon
strated to key National Guard and
Army Res personnel last
week by Combat Command "A"
of the 1st Armored Division.
The demonstration is expected to
be staged five times this summer-
for major il an component
groups during their two-week sum
mer training periods at Fort Hood.
It is the same demonstration
that toured Fourth Army installa
tions earlier this year under the
title of the Tank-Infantry Training
and Demonstration ea and
under the guidance of Maj. T. Q.
Donaldson now of the division G-3
section.

Unit Training
The 1st Armored Division is re-
emphasizing the vital role it is
playing in our nation's defense.
Having become battle prepared
through a year-long program of
training testing and maneuvering
the combat-ready "Old Ironsides"
division is now aiding the United
States Army Reserve and the Na
tional Guard units in summer
training at Fort Hood
As the Guardsmen and Reserv
ists go through their two-week
summer field training cycles here
key officers and non-commis
sioned officers of the division are
assigned to support missions.
In addition more than $30000-
000 worth of 1st Armored Division
equipment is being used by the
civilian component soldiers giv
ing them valuable training in the
use of the world's most modern
implements of armored warfare.
A high point of each training
phase is a demonstration of cor
rect techniques of tank-infantry
teamwork put on by the 1st Arm
ored Division.
The demonstration will be given
five times this summer so that
each major group training will
have the benefit of their instruc
tion.
The same demonstration was
given at mi 1 it a installations
throughout the Fourth Army area

Tank-Infantry Demonstration
The demonstration team was
originally formed at the sugges
tion of Lt. Gen. I. D. White
Fourth Army commander to show
the advantages of tanks when pro
perly used by infantry units. It
shows how a closely cooperating
infantry-tank team gains versatil
ity and shock action and is able
to take its objectives with a mini
mum of casualties. The demon
stration also depicts how the meth
od of attack by the tank-infantry
team is determined by its mis
sion objectives and the forces op
posing it.
Friday's event was viewed by
officers and non-commissioned of
ficers of the 75th 90th and 95th
Infantry Divisions and the 112th
Armored Cavalry Regt. all of
which concluded their two-week
training periods at North Fort

privilege as were those who serv
