Since first coming into service in 1980, the M1 Abrams tank has become a staple of U.S. Army ground forces. The 67-ton behemoth has since made a name for itself as an incredibly tough, powerful tool that has successfully transitioned from a Cold War-era blunt instrument to a tactical modern lethal weapon .U.S. Army Sgt 1st Class Smith and Sgt. Ryan Duginski, M1 Abrams Tank Master Gunners, assigned to Battle Group Poland, performed a remote-fire procedure, to ensure the tank’s proper functions at Bemowo Piskie Training Area, Poland, Nov. 6.
