ACOUP - When is a ‘Tank’ Not a Tank?

Moving from a pair of posts on ships, I’m continuing with a pair of posts on tanks. First, Bret discusses the definition of tanks, a subject that can at times cause confusion given the different varieties of modern armored vehicles. To clear this up, Bret looks at what tanks are meant to DO and how that function impacts the design history and doctrine related to tanks and other armored vehicles.
