That's true, most of the engagements that AT infantry would have had were deep insertion, the principle remaining the same. Ingress, concealment, and in situ ambush in support of the forward elements to the rear. Our tanks actually did very little of the anti tank work.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
