Но эти русские вечно гадят цивилизованному миру. Так и тут, научили американцев плохому.
Field Manual No. 3-21.20
The Infantry Battalion
TANK MOUNTED INFANTRY
D-30. An additional maneuver consideration for an Infantry mounted or mounted Infantry operation is the decision of whether to physically move Infantrymen on tanks. This mode of transportation can be difficult but is not impossible; it does, in fact, afford some significant advantages. The mounted Infantry can provide additional security for the tanks. When the team conducts a halt or must execute a breach or other tactical tasks, Infantry assets are readily available to provide support and security. The commander must weigh the potential dangers of carrying tank-mounted Infantrymen against the advantages of mobility and security they can provide. For specific procedures and safety considerations involved in mounting Infantry on tanks, see FM 3-20.15.

Да! Защита пехотой!
D-29. Commanders of mounted forces often overestimate the speed with which Infantry can move. Numerous factors can affect the rate of march for the Infantry forces; tactical considerations, weather, terrain, march discipline, acclimatization, availability of water and rations, morale, individual Soldiers’ self-confidence, and individual loads. Table D-4 summarizes dismounted rates of march for normal terrain. The normal distance covered by a dismounted force in a 24-hour period is from 20 to 32 kilometers, marching from 5 to 8 hours at a rate of 4 kilometers per hour. A march in excess of 32 kilometers in 24 hours is considered a forced march. Forced marches increase the number of hours marched, not the rate of march, and can be expected to impair the unit’s fighting efficiency. Absolute maximum distances for dismounted marches are 56 kilometers in 24 hours, 96 kilometers in 48 hours, or 128 kilometers in 72 hours.
