MC NATO national army doctrine design question

[Hans Boersma]

I am wondering about the Belgian, Dutch and Danish heavy units though, and I cannot seem to find any good sources on 1985-era doctrine for these three NATO Armies. Did these armies mix tanks and mechs (and in the case of the Danes, mot infantry as well) in such a way as to allow me to represent them as scalable, recombinable battalion battlegroups?

The Dutch did — have a look here (pdf). You might want to download the document and run it through a translator device; it is OCR'd.

Whether they would have been capable to fight in this fashion is another matter. The "older" companies probably would, for the "newer" companies I suspect this would require quite a bit more training (because of the Dutch unit filling system the three companies of a battalion were never at the same level of training/proficiency).

Hope this helps.
