RE: Late-war US and German OOB questions
I have read that it was practice in the U.S. "heavy" armored divisions to form armored batalions of one light company with light tanks and two medium companies. The very poor anti armor capability of the M5 light tanks made batalions with only light tanks impracticable on the battlefield.
The armored regiment would thus have three batalions, each with one light and two medium companies.
In 1945 limited numbers of the new M24 Chaffee light tank and the M26 Pershing heavy tank may also have been available.
