TANK HUNTING
TACTICS
TANK DESTROYER CENTER
CAMP HOOD, TEXAS‘TANK HUNTING
4n Orientation Lecture Given to Zach Battalion at
the Outset of Their Instruction
By
Lieutenant Colonel Gordon 7. Kinbrell
Tor the next two houra you will observe a demonstration of the
type training all of you will undergo during the next six days. It
is a type of intensive training called "Tank Bunting Tactics". Gen-
erally, this type of warfare is not new. It is based on the princi-
ples of battle developed by our forefathers in securing our country.
"fank Hunting Tactics" does, however, include the employment of
modern wespons. Actually, it might easily be called "Indian" war-
fare or "Guerilla" warfare, all with the addition of modern weapons
and equipment.
The purpose of "Tank Hunting Tactice" 1s three-fold. Primarily,
we intend to teach you methods of combating tanks that will enable you
to continue to fight when your main weapons are out; to destroy tanks
by secondary means. It 1s true that as Tank Destroyer Unite we will
always consider the heavy caliber gun as our main Tank Destroyer
weapon. With that weapon we will capitalize on the superb markeman-
ship ability of the American soldier. With our destroyers ve can
deat tanks. Yet there will be occasions in battle when some of our
primary weapons will cease to function for very obvious reasons.
You can all think of those reasons now. You may exhaust your ammni-
tion, for example; you may have mechanized malfunctions of yar
vehicle; you nay have bits of your motor or track blown off, or
any of many other reasons to render your weapon out of action. We
will train you in methods that will ensble you to continue to fight
‘tanks with any means at hand; with secondary or Tank Hunting methods.
A second reason for training in this manner of fighting is to
enable you to seek ait tanks in parks or bivouac, to strike silent
ly and with flame, explosives and small arms-destroy those eneny
tanks and kill their crews. This type of raider warfare my be
applied against enemy strong points also.
A third reason, and an extremely important one, is to train
you as soldiers to be aggressive and ruthless. We want you to be
more deadly, "dirtier", and more ruthless than the Hun or the Jap.
They have been taught since they were small to be unfair; that to strike
an unfair blow is to strike more successfully; that to hit a man
low iss moat effective means of stopping him, We, as Americans,tend to think in terms of sportemanship. We, because of our
nature, hesitate to strike low or to foul our opponent in any
manner. They will not fight by Marquis of Queensbury Rules.
Underatanding this, ve as Americans, Will go them one better,
and give them more ruthlessness, dirty tactics, and stabs in
the back than they ever conceived. ‘The American is ingenious.
He can outwit, out-fight and out-Kill the Huns and the squint
eyed sons of Mikado fairly, or, if they choose, (and they have),
4m a foul manner.
So, men, you are here to learn to kill. Kill men and tanks
with any means at hand; with weapons which you are issued or
with the weapons you are clever enough to devise. And if the
situation cecurs, kill with your bare hands. Our enemy is
skilled, cunning and efficient, but lacking in the inherent
qualities; namely, ingenuity, the ability to think, and the
ability to grow to meet any situation.
How, ina brief macner, I will discuss the various course
of instruction you will receive. In a short while you will see
@ Urief demonstration of the type of training you will receive
during the next few days. We are giving you this talk and demon-
stration so that you will more thoroughly understand vhat you
are facing, and therefore derive more from the instruction.
One phase of instruction you have received already. It is
negotiation of the Obstacle Cours You will come to kmow that
course well during the next few days. Don't groan. It will
gow easier with practice. We do not intend to "haze" you as
you may now think, There is a definite purpose for the Obstacle
First, it improves you physically; tut most imortant
» it puts you in the proper frame of mind for the train-
ing you are to receive. We want you to be tired and dirty when
you learn to shoot; to fight in streets and to fight in wood:
That is why you start everyday here with the Obstacle Cour:
When you are in battle you will be tired and dirty and
nervous. We threw grenades at you this morning to make you
nervous and excited. We want you to learn to fight when you
are under strain. Then, too, intestinal fortitude was required
for some of you to get through to the top of the hill. Some
of you came through on that alone. We have had men who didn't
possess that quality. We want to know who they are; so do you.
You don't want a man in your squad, platoon, or even battalion
who will quit when the going is tough. Wot only does he jeop-
ardize his life; he may waste your life too. There are still
other courses of instruction that make the quitter show his
wares, That is one reason why ve introduce realism into train-
ing.Another phase of instruction that you will receive is called
"Infiltration". Perhaps "Infiltration" doesn't mean much to you
now; it will later. Let me explain what we desire to accomplish
by it; then, I will explain of what "Infiltration* consists.
As I have intimated before, we think the American soldier ts
potentially the greatest soldier in the world today. Yet, at first,
one of his best traits tends to make hin weak. He has been reared
in a free country. He thinks as he pleases. Unless he understanis
what he is doing and knows why he is exerting himself for a parti-
cular Job, he has a strong tendency not to throw his whole being
into his task. You and I call this "dead-beating" or "gold~
vricking". On many occasions during maneuvers, it has 0
difficult for Johnny Private, and many others for that matter,
to visualize warlike conditions. So when we have walked a long
way or stayed awake for a few hours longer than we are accu:
tomed, we tend to "dead-beat", not that we don't want to do our
part; we just don't see the need for all of the expenditure of
energy. In short, we are blessed slightly with laziness. When
we are supposed to take cover we sometimes find a shelter tree to
sit under. We ssunter casually across open spaces. You can all
think of such occasion:
Perhaps we need more realism in our training. You will get
just that, In that open field to your front, you, in small groups,
will advance toward fixed gun positions. You will have to take
cover and stay low, for as you advance, “live ammunition from
Light Machime Guns will be fired, so that if you rise to your
hands and kmees, you probably will be hit. At the same tine,
explosive charges representing mortar and artillery fire will
be detonated close to you. You will be nervous, and in some
cases you will be excited. We want you to feel that way, We
want you to know how it sounds and how it feels to work from the
“pallet end". Most of you will get through in great style. &
very few of you (1f you run true to form as compared with battalions
that have preceded you) will loose your nerve. Don't worry now
about that. It is a weakness that many of those few can overcome.
It ie important that you know battle noises; that you feel the
sensation of being fired at. Some soldiers in this war have run
from sound and the uncertainty of the battlefield and run from
that alone. Many lost their lives because they lost their heads.
We want you to learn to control yourselves when the strain is
great. We have a famous adage in this country. “Live and Learn".
In our work that is reversed to "Learn and Live",
The next type of training you will encounter is called "Battle
Firing", It is a method of firing small arms that supplement the
normal methods of firing. We will teach you to fire the pistol,
teYas tommy gun, carbine, and rifle when visibility is poor,
so that you cannot to aim; when surprise targets pop up at
close range, requiring that you fire quickly and accurately in
order to live. We teach you to fire when you are nervous and
excited, while you are crouched, and while you are tense, grip-
ping tightly anything you touch, including your weapon. It is
an accurate means of firing. Other battalions have averaged
about 90% hits on that course.
The next phase of instruction is called "Night Firing". It
ta "Battle Firing in the dark which takes place in those two
tunnels. Blackout is complete in there. You won't see some of
the targets that bob out of the wall, down from the ceiling, or
vp from the floor. You will have to hit them by pointing your
veapons at sound. Other targets will apmar to be shadow forms.
On no target will you be able to use your sights. It is mch
too dark. Your battalion will average about 85% hits at aver-
age range of 20 yards. You will fire the pistol then.
From "Night Firing" you move to the village to receive instruc~
tions in "Street Fighting". As you know, Tank Destroyer Units
will seek to avoid "Street Fighting". Yet, there will be tines
when we will be required to move through towns for reconnaissance
purposes. We may have to fight then. Certainly if enemy tanks
are ‘parked in towns we send raiding parties after them. We must
mow "Street Fighting". The newspapers, everyday, indicate the
amount of fighting in this war taking place in cities.. We will
teach you a few principles of "Street Fighting"; but most impor-
tant of all, you will learn to work together in small groups
with cohesion. You will use "Live ammunition" with your weapons
loaded and the hammers back, safeties off. We think that Ameri-
can soldiers are intelligent enough to keep from shooting one
another. You mst learn to work with Johnny and Jack and prove
to yourselves that you can use overhead fire and cross-fire
intelligently. Targets that bob up in the village will cause
you to fire in that manner. You will encounter the booby trap
then too.
From "Street Fighting" you will move to a course in "Woods
Fighting", There you will be taught methode of advance wooded
terrain. You will encounter surprise targets. Again you will
use "Live ammunition" as in "Street Fighting". You will en-
counter strong points in the form of concrete emplacements. You
must learn to knock those out with explosives such as "sticky"
grenades, "pole charges", and with flame. Then you will us
grenades againet sniper posts, and, as in "Infiltration", you
will ericounter explosives representing enemy mortar fire.In the next course of instruction, "Ambush Operations", you
will learn various means of stopping tanks. You will make “string
mines", "plank mines". You will learn also the construction of
"booby traps", how to detect them. There you will handle explo-
sives and learn to respect them; not to fear them.
The following course is called "Field Craft". It teaches
you personal eare in the field, personal camouflage, and many
‘small subjects that will make you a more efficient fighting man.
They are little aids taken from troops who have used then in this
var. You will have to make fires without fuel and without matches.
You will learn several means of enabling you to cook individually.
It 48 a course in the small personal things encountered in var,
designed to make you a better soldier.
‘There is a course on "Map and Compass". I won't explain
more. It is similar to instruction you have received before.
You will need a refresher course for the night raids you make
vhile here.
‘The next instruction is called "Grenades", ‘There we show you
the issue grenades and how to use them. You will learn to throw
the 4.1. Grenade, M-9 or M9 A-1 by hand, well as to fire them
by rifle. You will mike "sticky" grenades, A.7. bombs, self-ig-
niting Molotove. In short, we will teach you all we know of the
secondary weapons for destroying tenks. They are effective as
you can see by observing that medium tank there.
‘The last phase of instruction is called "Close Combat". You
will learn various means of killing men with yair bare hands or
with any means available. You will learn to disarm your enemy.
You will learn to break his strength and resistance. ‘Close Con
dat" teaches you methods of self=preservation when you are with-
out your regular weapons.
That completes the verbal description of the course. This
4s your course. We are here to help you. You will learn much.
Ye vant you to be on your toes, and use your wits. You will be
able to think of many other means for stopping and destroying
vanke when the occasion arises. Some of you will think of means
voile you are here that are different from the methods ve teach.
Let us know go that we can include your ideas in the instruction.
Then the battalions who follow you will benefit by your experience
Keep this in mind throughout the course. You must learn to
stop tanks and their crewe whether with primary Tank Destroyer veapons
oF vith secondary weapons. You must learn, at all costs, and under
she moat rigorous of conditions, to ...SEEX, STRIKE, DESTROY.GENERAL
Every Tank Destroyer Battalion undergoing training at the
Tank Destroyer Center mst, at some tine, include a week at
the Tank Hunting Course as part of its regular schedule. There
are three such courses, thus three battalions can complete simi-
lar courses in one week.
4 battalion scheduled for thie course receives a warning
order a month in advance. Ammunition must de secured, since
each battalion furnishes its own ammunition to be used while on
the course. Salvaged clothing may be procured for use during the
six days. The men must be conditioned to stand the gruelling
pace.
Zach battalion is issued written instructions as to what
equipment is needed, and given a mimeographed schedule of the
courses.
Prior to the battalion's arrival, a liaison officer reports
to an instructor of the course and is shown the bivouac area that
the battalion is to occupy while it 1s undergoing instruction. Since
the purpose of the course is to accustom men to approximate battle
conditions, the battalion occupies a tent-bivouac area within short
marching distance of the Tank Hunting Course.
The one week course usually begins with the first class on
Monday morning. The battalion moves by night march in order to
arrive at its bivouac area by two A.M. Sunday.
At seven-thirty Monday morning, the ammunition truck of the
jorte to the range officer at some designated point
At the same time, the entire battalion, divided
into eight equal groups, reports to an officer at the start of
the obstacle course. This instructor explains the obstacle
course, and on signal, each group runs the course in succession.
After short rest, the battalion moves to a centrally located
assembly area, mich in the form of a natural amphitheatre.
Here, the officer in charge of instruction gives an orienta-
tion lecture, explaining the purpose of the course, and demonstrat-
ing through the help of assistant instructors, those parts of the
various classes which may practicably be shown to the entire group.
At'the close of this demonstration, each officer acting
group leader, is given a copy of the schedule for the week and
shown the various instructional areas. The groups move out at
double time. Any group movement is traveled double-time.last an hour and forty-five minutes. This alle
fifteen mimites for movement to another area.
Every officer of the battalion, including medicos and chaplains,
gees through all instruction with the men.
Tuesday night, after the days classes, the battalion cooks its
evening meal individually, using no utensils—--no pots, pans, or me
kite. At seven o'clock that same night the battalion forms in the as-
sembly area on the Tank Hunting Course. Each Company is divided into
groups of from ten to fifteen men. A short lecture is given by an
instructor on the art of tank-stalking. A situation is given in
vnich a small group of enemy tanks has been lecated by reconnaissance.
The tanks are in a park approximately one thousand yards to the north.
‘These Tank-Hunting gangs, armed with the eticky grenades and Molotov
cocktails which they have made during the day's classes, are to
raid this tank park,
Each gang consists of two scouts, armed with knives and 45
calibre pistols; four tank-killers armed with grenades; and four
security. The scouts move out to locate the park.
(The tanks are represented by rock piles, 14! long and 6' high.)
The scouts ambush the enemy out-posts and lead the gang in. The
security covers the raid while the killers move in. At the leader's
signal, the killers hurl their Molotov cocktails and grenades and
get out, Reorganization takes place in some pre-determined inter-
mediate rallying point, and the gang moves back to the bivouac ar
Thursday night, the eight groups of the battalion go out on a
sap and compass problem, travelling a course to a designated point---
solely by means of compa:
Usually, the battalion concludes its instruction by noon
Saturday. At that tine it returns to battalion control, breaking
camp, and leaving the bivousc area for barracks.MEMORANDUM:

INFILTRATION
2. Purpose.
To acquaint men with gun fire (from the "bullet end") passing
closely overhead.
To acquaint men with combat noises employing explosions of
small charges to represent shell and mortar fire, In an effort
to reduce initial shock of action and in an effort to determine
which men are not nervously suited for combat duty.
To teach men correct methods of advancing under fire, through
barbed wire, and normal battlefield obstacles.
+ Construction.
8. An area 100 yards in depth, 50 yards wide, and necessary
safety factors for firing .30 caliber machine guns.2. Three machine gun platforms at near end of course, with
depression and traverse stops.
Method.
+ Starting line 1s at far end of the course. Men drop to the
ground upon signal, and advance toward machine guns. As they
advance, they encounter trenches with parapets on the side tovarg
machine guns, slit trenches, barbed wire 18 inches high, shell
holes, and fallen tree:
2. Several mines, consisting of one pound of TNT or dynamite, are
placed throughout the field. These are controlled electrically
from a control tower by an operator who can see all men ae they
advance. Operator explodes one mine at a time as men cover near
mine positions. Machine guns maintain intermittent fire until
the men reach the last trench.
g- After all men have cleared the barbed wire and are in the last
trench, they charge over the last parapet and assault simlated
antitank guns situated 25 yards to the rear of the machine gun
platforms.
4+ Machine guns are "zeroed" previous to placing the men in position
so that the fire is grazing and approximately 30 inches high,
STREET FIGHTING
1. Purpose.
8+ To instruct soldiers in methods of street reconnsissance.
‘B- To introduce them to booby traps.
‘&- To teach them to handle loaded weapons in the presence of other
men, to include cross and overhead fire vhile exp
turbing influence such as explosives and other nots
2, Method of instruction.
A village is constructed of old buildings, old lumber, and any
other material at hand. Booby traps are rigged up in doors, stairs,
and other logical places. Targets are placed to represent enemy
snipers and hostile civilians. Soldiers are required to move through
the village for reconnaissance purposes while under close supervision
of street fighting instructors. At the discretion of the instructor,
targets are exposed at varying firing distances. Booby traps are ex-
ploded by the careless soldier who fails to perform proper observations
during his advance. Grenades are employed in reducing strong points
in clearing buildings, and for general noise-making purpost
‘veing used by instructors on proper occasions. Movement in the village
is rapid when troops are exposed, so that progress is made by a series
of bounds from cover to cover where they are halted momentarily for the
purpose of observation, reorganization, and control.
TIME: 4 hours, 2 periods of 2 hours each.
-10-BATTLE FIRING
+ Purpose.
To teach men to fire small arms in poor visibility (without the
use of sights) at surprise targets at close ranges vhile ina state
of nervous excitenent.
2. Method of instruction.
Soldiers are required to practice dry the positions for battle
firing which consist generally of a natural crouch with all body
muscles tense. On completion of the practice period, they are then
required to fire a few rounds in what is termed "preliminary battle
firing." Ae his technique develops, his shots are made more diffi-
cult by staggering targets in depth and elevation. At this point
in training, speed of fire is accentuated. The final instruction
in battle firing is conducted in the form of night firing which takes
place in a blackout tunnel. (See diagram.)
TIME: 8 hours, 4 periods of 2 hours each.
WOODS FIGHTING
1. Purpose,
a. To teach men to use natural cover and concealment.
To advance rapidly and silently through woods.
Mo handle emall arms properly, using aimed shots, or
battle fire shots as required by the exposure of targets
at various distances and tine intervals.
2. Method of Inetruction.
8. Form three groups of three men each under a leader.
These groups work forward through woods in a triangular
formation, the three groups forming a triangle, apex to
the rear. Each group of three men uses the sane forma-
tion ‘as they move toward an objective. The leader, who
is in the center of the large triangle, directs his men
in the capture or destruction of sniper's posts and pill
boxes as encountered, and gives the signal for the final
assault on the objective. Tank stalking is one variation
of woods fighting taught.
In a discussion, advantages and disadvantages af woods
fighting are stressed
Ie
TIME: 4 hours, 2 veriods of 2 hours each.
