The Miniature Armor Battlefield (MAB) was designed to supplement existing facilities for training tank platoons in tactical operations. Basically, it consists of a terrain board, a set of portable terrain features (both natural and man-made), and radio-controlled tanks for two tank platoons, one friendly and one aggressor. A scale of 1:25 is used throughout. Use of the MAB in unit training has been shown to result in a substantial improvement in the performance of tank platoon leaders and tank crews on a tactical field exercise. This manual was prepared to provide general guidance to all potential users of the MAB (rather than detailed answers to every question which might be raised), and an overview of the requirements and procedures for its effective utilization.
