An early division in the definition of roles was between infantry tanks intended to focus on supporting infantry in the assault, and cruiser tanks intended for classic cavalry missions of exploitation, screening and reconnaissance. Many classification systems have been used over a hundred years of tank history. The weight classification is used in the same way truck classification is used, and is intended to accommodate logistic requirements of the tanks. The classification by role was used primarily during the developmental stage of the national armoured forces, and referred to the doctrinal and force structure utility of the tanks based on design emphasis. Tank classification is a taxonomy of identifying either the intended role or weight class of tanks.
