An Armour Regiment or an Infantry Battalion was never a self contained combat team. Yes, they had much more capabilities than they do now, but nobody expected either one to stand on their own.
The ideal is to follow either the German lead, or the new US Unit of Action lead, where the mix of combat arms Units are moved from the Brigade level down to the Battalion level. Then, if a Unit deploys, it deploys with its own armour, infantry, CSS etc. Especially as it is extremely remote that we will be moving Brigade size forces anywhere, but we will be depoloying combat teams.
