Chacune est articulée autour de trois Combat Commands (deux principaux : CCA et CCB, et structure de réserve : CCR) qui comprennent, en plus des chars, infanterie d'accompagnement, artillerie automotrice et troupes du génie. ©Electre 2025

ARMOR IN NORMANDY
The Americans
In 1944 the US armored divisions were divided into two types, heavy armor and light armor.
They were formed into one of three Combat Commands (CCA and CCB and a reserve - CCR) which comprised, in addition to the tanks, accompanying infantry troops, motorized artillery and engineers. This composition, with its varying elements, gave the Americans a great deal of flexibility in the way their armored forces were deployed and was at variance with the more conventional British doctrine.
Continuing the glorious tradition of cavalry raids of the past, these units acted as the spearhead of the American forces, and played a vital role in the liberation of Normandy.
