Tanks against infantry.
Infantry against tanks.

The Germans knew this and practiced it well.
Our own experience with modern man-portable tank-killers bears this out.

You can’t always count on the big tank v tank battle.

Yes, but you do recognize that our enemies still have large inventories of tanks, don't you? Despite the development and evolution of infantry anti-armor weapons, we and the Soviets still had to slug it out tank on tank with the Wehrmacht, and we ourselves had to fight a large-scale tank battle as recently as 1991.

As long as our enemies have lots of tanks, we'll need ours to be able to kill theirs, possibly on a large scale.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
