Battle Order Forecast for May
🕑 Added 2022-04-28 06:00:51 +0000 UTCFor May I think there will be a focus on some lesser known countries as I've spent most of April researching more obscure European militaries. The video on how Poland's tank force is changing will probably go up this weekend. Next week I have a sponsored video which will probably be about the VDV Air Assault Battalion structure and why it's no ideal. I don't have a specific schedule after that because I find I work best doing what I'm interested in in that moment, but possibilities include:
1. France's modern tank force
2. China's new high mobility infantry
3. Italy's Centauro wheeled armor
4. U.S. Army's future armored divisions
Content will probably be weighted towards the beginning of the month because someone in my family is getting surgery later in the month so I'll be busy.
I also now have a Twitter where I post graphics, research I am doing at the time and share things I find interesting (that have to do with the military). I think it is smart for me to expand on that platform to build connections with people in the field, since real people actually use it and there's potential for me to get access to info I otherwise wouldn't. It's all on-topic Battle Order type stuff: https://twitter.com/battle_order
Also I am getting some cool books in from Germany on the organization of the German Panzergrenadiers during the Cold War and now. When I get them I'll scan the pretty pictures and make them available to Patrons. I might be getting something similar but for France, a book that's sort of hard to get outside of France. If I do I'll be making graphics from that available as well.

Wouldn't be surprised if an Elbonian military observer snapped the photo. I bet they doctrinally employ them exactly the same way as these guys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnfPlgajZc0

I think that suspicious military advisor they hired post-war convinced them to get those tricycle motorbike technicals that are now in the Donbass. https://twitter.com/historicfirearm/status/1507160339628109832

Speaking of obscure militaries, I heard the Elbonian military increased its "Technical Expenses" for its Territorial Militia. Rumor is they got some Toyota Hilux:s from foreign aid agencies, some modified for fire support. No idea how they might organized or use them otherwise, though they have apparently sent military observers to Mali and other places where similar units have been used.
