The Following text appears to be an extraction from a field report (date unknown) and
is presented in the first person to retain the flavour of the original.


Whether fighting as a regiment or as a squadron, only the F Echelon of a squadron remains the same. The only difference to F Echelon is that in the regimental battle, RHQ tanks, scout cars, and Medical Officer's half-track becomes F Echelon and the soft skin vehicles move with A Echelon.
