[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 1041802, member: 6776"] This is a looped photo of German Army Leopard II main battle tanks, likely a tank company going by rail in Germany to a tank training area. The US did deploy in 2010 13 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks to the Kandahar and Helmand provinces in southwest Afghanistan, operated by a Marine tank company of the US 1st Marine Division (forward). Those Abrams were typically used for road clearing and patrolling. One was disabled by an IED and the remaining 12 were returned to the United States in 2013. Most of the Afghan terrain was too mountainous for field battle tanks to be operationally effective. More effective were MRAP's, armored personnel carriers, and up-armored HMVEE's. The Afghan army did not have Abrams tanks. Colonel Tom Taylor US Army Calvary (Retired) 2nd Armored Calvary Regiment M1A1 Abrams tank commander qualified [/QUOTE]
