          In July of 1942, a few changes were made to the Tank Corps organization.  In an effort to simplify 
  the tank component, the slow KV-I was dropped in favor of more T-34’s.  The Motorized Infantry Bat-
  talion received 76.2mm AT guns but lost their AA battalion.  Some other components were added on 
  paper but not in reality (see gray areas above). A total of 25 Tank Corps were formed from April to Sep-
  tember of 1942, mostly from existing units (for instance, no new tank brigades were created, they were 
  already all in existence and were just reassigned).

  on tanks to add close 
  support and usually was 
  not part of the infantry
