The Syrians made only minor gains in the early days of the war, but Israelis turned those around and a ceasefire was signed with Israeli tanks in sight of Damascus.

21st century organization is different today. During the Vietnam War, US Army/US Marine tank units were organized as follows: 1. Approximately 57/58 90mm Medium Gun M48A3 Patton tanks per battalion. 2. About 3 line companies per battalion, plus a Headquarters Company. The line companies were also known as "letter companies"; e. g. "A", "B", "C", etc. 3. 17 Patton tanks per company. 4. 3 line platoons (numbered 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) consisting of 5 Patton tanks each, plus HQ's platoon consisting of 2 Patton tanks; for a total of 17 Pattons per company. 5. Each 5 tank platoon was divided into two sections: a heavy and light section; three Pattons and two Patton tanks. A LTC (Lieutenant Colonel) commanded the battalion; CPT's (Captains) commanded the companies; and LT's (Lieutenants) led the platoons (called tank platoon leaders). Sergeants commanded the tanks; and each Patton tank was authorized 4 crewmen apiece, although many times, the Pattons operated with 3 man crews (without the gunners/TC's fired the main gun from the TC over-ride, "from the hip"). Majors within all battalions (Infantry, Armor, and Cavalry) were XO's (Executive Officers) and S-3's (Operations Officer).
