N '44; Breakout without trucks

[jonnymacbrown]

By Motorized infantry, I refer to truck transported, not halftrack mounted infantry. Trucks were vulnerable and often used for more than just moving infantry. Trucks would drop infantry off before reaching the front in most cases, often shuttling off to perform other missions.

Didn't the USA invent the term "motor pool" to indicate trucks that would drop off infantry and then go back and pick up more guys? The trucks were not an intrinsic part of any infantry unit but perhaps Corps? jonny
