ORBAT of a French Light Cavalry Regiment of the 80s/early 90s.

The Light Cavalry Regiment is an all-wheeled formation based around the duo AMX-10RC light tank and VAB HOT Mephisto APC
#History #Military #frencharmy #80s #90s

The regiment is composed of a Command and Services squadron, x3 Armoured squadrons and an Anti-Tank squadron for a total of 840 personnel, and 268 vehicles, including 36 AMX-10RC and 12 VAB HOT

Looking at the other French tank formations of the time. The dedicated anti-tank formation equipped with the VAB HOT seems to be unique. Other tank formations utilize the 4x4 with a MILAN ATGM attached

There was a total of 7 regiments with this configuration. 2 of them were attached to 2 motorized infantry divisions, 2 were attached to a light cavalry division, and 3 others were organically part of an army corps

Ending notes: shorter thread because I have a lot of work and assignments coming up. Expect the pace of posting to slow down as well since I will also be working on an ORBAT that will require more time

#Italia #ForzeArmate #Military #tank

Overall, the brigade is a combined arms formation comprising Tank and Mechanised regiments supported by a substantial armoured Recon regt, an Artillery regt, an Engineer regt and the brigade’s logistics

Before we go into any more detail, it is important to note that Italian regiments are, in effect, equivalent to a US Army battalion which generally includes between 4-6 companies and up to 1000 soldiers

ORBAT of NATO's Enhanced Forward Presence mission as of October 2022. A 🧵
#Military #WeAreNATO

Most of the information used was found on various NATO websites and scouring MODs' official Twitter accounts for clues as to what kind of contribution countries made, so bear in mind that it probably does not fully represent the composition of the BGs

eFP was launched in 2016 to deploy 4 multinational battlegroups (battalion-strength) in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to defend and deter any attacks from Russia and Belarus and to ensure an attack on one would be an attack on all

Operational CATOBAR Aircraft Carriers and their Air Wing (late 2010s). Let’s look at the air wing composition of the Nimitz Class and Charles de Gaulle and see how they compare.
#USNavy #Aircraft #Military #Jets

But first, we will look at the role and capabilities of each aircraft. We will take the Nimitz Class’s air wing as an example.

Quick note: The next infographic will cover the evolution of these carriers, their air wings and China’s arrival to the club

The US Carrier Air Wing (CVW) has x44 F/A-18 Super Hornet multirole fighter. Meaning it can do almost any mission an aircraft could do: Air to Air engagements, Ground strikes, Anti-Ship, Suppression of Air defence… They are the main weapon of the carrier

Here is an infographic representing all of the MBTs, IFVs, AFVs, APC, MRAPs and IMVs delivered or pledged to Ukraine since February 24.
#UkraineRussiaWar

Some thoughts: Poland and Czechia are the two main contributors concerning MBTs and IFVs. Most of that equipment is upgraded soviet era armour.

Comparatively, the US is the main contributor in APCs and IMVs, sending M113s and Humvees primarily. The M113 and its variants are also the main type of APC given to the AFU

1. In this thread, we will look at the 1st Armoured Division brought by the 🇬🇧during the 1991 Gulf War. More specifically, how it is structured, its purpose, and how it compares with the 🇫🇷Daguet Div that we looked at in the previous thread

2. Understanding the NATO symbology can be quite tricky, so here is a link to @battle_order website battleorder.org/icons Everything you need to know to understand this infographic is there

3. The 1st Arm is a heavy division which puts the emphasis on mobile armoured platforms with substantial firepower (Tanks, IFVs, SP Howitzers) to be able to manoeuvre and achieve breakthroughs. The Div has two manoeuvre brigades: the 7th and 4th Armoured
