  1. They had a mixture 1/4 ton trucks, M8 armored cars, M3 halftracks, M3 or M5 light tanks and T30 or M8 SP 75mm howitzers. This is an excellent on line reference to the US Cavalry 1941-1945 https://tmg110.tripod.com/usarmy_mcv.htm

  2. It took six medium truck companies (2 1/2 tonners) over its organic transport to motorize an infantry division. Each division could have a tank, tank destroyer (or both) battalion attached from Corps troops. Effectively, that gave the US Army sixty six panzer grenadier divisions - and they were employed as such. (US mobilized 66 Infantry Divisions, 1 Mountain Division, 5 Airborne Divisions, 1 Cavalry Division, 16 Armored Divisions and 6 Marine Divisions, for a total of 95. There were enough non-divisional combat troops to have mobilized another 100 divisions or so). The Panzer Grenadier division occasionally had a tank battalion, but usually they had a assault gun or AT battalion with all the infantry except one battalion (in halftracks) in trucks - and the halftracks weren't always there.
