Our soldiers operate, maintain, and fight one of the
most formidable weapon systems on earth, the M1A1 Abrams
Main Battle Tank. The tank weighs in at approximately
124,000 lbs. Combat loaded. It uses a 1500 horsepower gas
turbine (jet) engine. It can obtain kills at approximately
3800 meters with a muzzle velocity of over a mile per
second. The tank has a crew of four, so teamwork is the
key to success. If you would like to hear more about
becoming a part of our team, give me a call. SSG
Nicholson.
