Jock column
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During World War II, "Jock columns" were small combined arms groups of armoured cars, artillery, and motorised infantry, generally drawn from the 7th Armoured Division. They were used in the North Africa campaign by the British Army's Western Desert Force to harass Italian forces.
They were named after the officer who conceived the tactic, Lieutenant Colonel "Jock" Campbell.
