Since you were a tactics instructor, when did they switch from a 5 tank platoon to 4? Found out about that when visiting as a civilian a NJ National Guard unit.

Also after the 1973 war in the middle east tank tactics and gunnery changed.

We manuvered in over watch positions, combat carry 'one in the tube' range preset 1200 meters, aim for the base of the form.

Got to ride in a T-62 they brought back from the Golan Heights. Small, everything reverse from from ours. Appeared to be a 'shot trap' between the hull and the turret. That 120 MM smooth bore with auto loader, which I think they still use, they had to raise the gun tube.

After my platoon / company time was sent to battalion staff as S-3 (Air). Worked on several projects with TRADOC. One was remotely piloted vehicles (RPVS) now they are called "drones" and the BART test the conversion / migration from the M-60 to at the time XM1 of M-1.

Should of stayed in for 20 but my "frau" wasn't with me on that...
