A new motorized Gun Squadron (Tykkieskadroona, Tyk.Esk./Rv.Pr.) was formed from the three Gun Platoons (two 37 mm PstK/40 AT guns each) taken away from MG Companies of URR, HRR and JP 1 in spring 1941. In 1943 squadron was re-equipped with six 50 mm PstK/38 AT guns.

On 9.7.1942 Cavalry Brigade was temporarily attached to Armoured Division (Ps.D) when its organic Jäger Brigade operated separately elsewhere. Organic supply formations of the brigade were although not allowed to be detached or altered in any ways. On 25.1.1943 1943 brigade was moved to Karelian Isthmus and detached from Ps.D. Brigade became the reserve of the Supreme HQ (PM) in western Karelian Isthmus where it between short front-line periods mainly constructed new defensive lines until June 1944.
