Brussels Pact Permanent Commission

Abstract

During the period under review (September-October 1950) the five Brussels Pact nations continued their collaboration in defense and defense training matters. The powers, with the participation of the United States, carried out a successful demonstration of new and improved anti-tank weapons at the School of Infantry, Warminster in England on September 4, 1950 as well as a demonstration of United Kingdom armored artillery and infantry weapons. As a result of the tests, it was reported that good progress had been made in the army's firepower generally and that the infantryman's anti-tank potential was increasing.
