Re: [GZG] Small thought re: Orbital Assault

It makes a certain degree of sense in a way.

 

If you give foot infantry light motor vehicles they become motorised so if you give armour light motor vehicles they become motorised too since they're no longer armoured (in the real sense - kevlar isn't armour against what tanks chuck at each other, it's just less thin toilet paper).

 

If it isn't infantry, armour or artillery it must be "motorised" which I believe has been long been a catch-all definition for almost any vehicle that wasn't armed with heavy direct fire weapons.  I'm sure I've seen WW1 photos of infantry on "motorbikes" classed as motorised.

 

Like the quote below says though, you are whatever your senior officer says you are.  Just pray he doesn't suddenly start calling you "motorised parachute marines".  I wouldn't like to jump out of a perfectly healthy plane in a 5 ton lorry!

If the officer says it's a "motorized tank platoon" then it's a "motorized tank platoon."
