Medium forces are land tactical forces that are mounted in tracked or wheeled vehicles with some mobility and armoured protection.Although they are generally mounted in armoured fighting vehicles, medium forces prioritise mobility at the strategicand operational levels over protection. /.../ Medium forces have less protection and integral firepower than heavy forces but more protection and greater tactical mobility than light forces in all but close terrain. /.../ Medium forces have less strategic mobility than light forces in that they require greater lift assets. Medium forces that are wheel-based (instead of track based) have greater operational mobility in that they can move about a theatre of operations without the need for flatbed transport (which is needed by heavy, tracked forces for long moves).
