The major tasks of these units were mopping-up for the following troops and employment as an advance guard, surprise raid-like attacks against an opponents flanks and rear, as well as pursuit of the opponent. A wide variety of machines were deployed for these tasks, both impressed and adapted civilian models, as well as variety of purpose-built military motorcycles.
