to provide a cataloging of all of the historical Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV), including tanks, APCs and self-propelled artillery, etc that are on preserved or otherwise displayed in museums or as monuments in the United States. As such the registry ranges from the World War I-era Skeleton Tank to modern M1 Abrams tanks. However, the registry is not intended to include modern AFVs that are still in service. Format The USA Historical AFV Register is organized by state and city or town as follows. STATE CITY OR TOWN Location (GPS Coordinates) AFV Model Man./User status Notes and/or location Man./User denotes the original manufacturer (country) and various users, using three letter country codes. Status is denoted by one of the following codes. ind = indoor display out = outdoor display std = stored (this can be either indoor our outdoor storage, but clearly not on display) wre = wreck (typically vehicles recovered from a target range or simply in very bad condition) Often, if there are a large number of AFVs on display in a particular town or military post, sub listings are also provided, organized by location - museum, building, road, etc. Many of the vehicles listed as “Unconfirmed” are from the “Central Registry” of donated vehicles maintained by the U.S. Army's Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM). Many of these vehicles donated to American Legion and VFW Posts may actually be located in local parks. Additionally, many of the “Unconfirmed” World War II era vehicles – such as Sherman and Stuart tanks – have since been moved or may no longer exist. Additional information about a particular vehicle is often included in footnotes. Serial Numbers (SN) and Registration Numbers, aka “USA” numbers (RN) are given when available. Note that many M60 tanks have two SNs, the original one as built and an Anniston Army Depot (AAD) rebuild SN (which ends in an A) or a Mainz Army Depot (MAD) SN (which ends in an M). For British and Canadian WWII era vehicles, War Department (WD) Numbers are given when known, as are post-war Vehicle Registration Numbers (VRN) for British vehicles. 3 Sources The USA Historical AFV Register is compiled from a number of sources. Firstly, the register is an expansion of Leslie Delsing’s Wrecks and Relics in the USA tank registry, posted to the AFV News Discussion Board on 22 May 2006. The register has also been greatly expanded thanks to armyjunk2 and his copy of the TACOM Central Registry. Some of the other notable online sources include the Waymarking Military Ground Equipment Displays site, the former Tanks for the Memories geocaching site, The Sherman Register, Toadman’s Tank Pictures, Trevor Larkum's Preserved Tanks, Robert Buettner’s War Memorials of Wisconsin, and Don Moriarty's The History of the Ontos as well as forums and message groups such as the AFV News Discussion Board, G104 (the Sherman Register mailing list), G103 (dedicated to Stuart tanks), and G136 (dedicated to M8 Greyhound and M20 armored cars). Where possible, the origin of information on a particular vehicle is denoted in footnotes. A large number of individual contributors, many of which are credited throughout the registry, have provided invaluable information. Note All Serial Numbers, Registration

  • Shooting Stars
    US941 A The first sheet in the blister gives you all the different types of Allied stars commonly found on US vehicles. There was no standard way of applying these stars, so feel free to have a mix in your army. The examples below are just a sample of the more common practices in terms of where the stars go, but if you’re looking to represent tanks in a specific historical battle, period photos are your friend. Tanks Tank Destroyers US tanks would typically have six stars: turret sides, hull sides, hull Tank Destroyers usually have the stars in broken circles.

Last month saw the release of Blood, Guts, & Glory, Battlefront’s new intelligence handbook covering the tank battles in the Lorraine, September 1944 - January 1945. Some crew would paint over them later so they didn’t provide easy targets for the Germans, so leaving some off is an easy way To coincide with this release, this month sees the arrival of the new US Decal sheet (UBX941).

  • Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance Since 1945
    A Standard European Tank? Procurement Politics, Technology Transfer and the Challenges of Collaborative MBT Projects in the NATO Alliance since 1945 Mike Cubbin School of Arts and Media Salford University Submitted to the University of Salford in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 Abstract International cooperation in weapons technology projects has long been a feature of alliance politics; and, there are many advantages to both international technology transfer and standardisation within military alliances. International collaboration between national defence industries has produced successful weapon systems from technologically advanced fighter aircraft to anti-tank missiles. Given the success of many joint defence projects, one unresolved question is why there have been no successful collaborative international main battle tank (MBT) projects since 1945. This thesis seeks to answer this question by considering four case studies of failed attempts to produce an MBT through an international collaborative tank project: first and second, the Franco-German efforts to produce a standard European tank, or Euro-Panzer (represented by two separate projects in 1957-63 and 1977- 83); third, the US-German MBT-70 project (1963-70); and, fourth, the Anglo-German Future Main Battle Tank, or KPz3 (1971-77). In order to provide an explanation of the causes of failure on four separate occasions, the analysis includes reference to other high-technology civilian and military joint projects which either succeeded,

However, in countless continued conflicts large and small, people are being killed, maimed or injured, landscapes and cultural treasures are being destroyed, defaced and damaged, and national assets and resources are being plundered and squandered. In land-based operations to defeat these threats and their accompanying realities, the focus falls on soldiers, security forces and first responders who – often at the risk of their own lives – protect people, enforce justice and guard assets on behalf of their governments. These are dangerous jobs, and there is a clear duty of care upon the employers for the health and well-being of their “human assets”.
