The Series J Armored Cavalry Regiments had mixed tank/apc platoons.
At the time T2K came out a platoon was organized as
4 tanks
4 APCs (scouts)
1 APC (platoon leader)
1 mortar APC (usually detached to troop headquarters)
There would be three such platoons as well as a headquarters platoon (2 tanks) in each troop.
Three cavalry troops, plus a 14 strong tank company, a howitzer battery and the usual support would make up a squadron.
Three cavalry squadrons, plus a air cavalry squadron, a engineer company, a ADA platoon and support would make up a ACR.
