Tank Corps

The Tank Corps was a military branch responsible for operating and maintaining tanks—a new, armored vehicle used in warfare. Established during World War I, its role was to deploy tanks to break enemy lines, support infantry advances, and provide protection through mobility and firepower. The corps coordinated the development, training, and strategic use of tanks, revolutionizing battlefield tactics by enabling faster, more armored, and more effective combat operations. It laid the groundwork for modern armored units in armies worldwide.
