          By the spring of 1942, the Russians had decided that they needed bigger tank formations than the 
  brigades they had been using for the last year.  The result was the return of the Tank Corps, a division 
  sized formation.  The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tanks Corps were immediately authorized and formed from 
  pieces of existing units.  The original order called for only two tank brigades in each tank corps but that 
  was quickly increased to three.

  Note: the SMG unit above 
  rode on tanks to add close 
  support and usually was not 
  part of the infantry battalion.
