Self-admittedly I have not read every article in the series yet so forgive me if I have missed it - but is there a portion that better describes prior to 1941 how the Army was going to fight - were they looking at rapid maneuver, an emphasis on defense, slower attacks, etc? Something that describes what this 1938 regiment was supposed to accomplish. Between this and the “Supplying the IN regiment of 1938”, it seems to be optimized for balancing short movement for attacks, and defense, as well as able to absorb some attrition.

The next piece John Sayen's series will describe some of the fighting techniques associated with the reorganizations of 1938 and 1940.
