The organisation is for a Battery equipped with M10 3 inch Guns. Batteries with M10 17 pdrs were the same except for the following differences:
The Troop Universal Carriers (RA, RB & RC) were replaced with an OP Tank.
The guns carried 50 rounds of ammunition instead of 54. Therefore extra ammunition was needed in the ammunition vehicles.
The two 3 ton Lorries in each Troop (A5,A6 etc.) carried 80 rounds each.

The Regimental Headquarters Armoured Divisions was a standard organisation capable of commanding 3 or 4 batteries of various types. For some types and combinations of batteries, RHQ had extra personnel and vehicles. These were mostly to the repair and maintenance sections. The tables below are based on the Organisation for Manoeuvre rather than the War Establishment as this is more likely to be used in the field and includes the attached Royal Signals personnel.

For the assault on Normandy, only tracked vehicles were allowed on the beaches in the first 8 hours. For the assault Divisions, the Anti-Tank Regiments had Batteries consisting of a Troop of M10 3 inch Self propelled Guns and two Troops of 6 pounders towed by Universal Carriers. The Universal Carrier had a better performance than the Loyd and the lighter 6 pounder Gun was less likely to get stuck in the sand.
