From the Archives: In 1956 an attempt was made to make a fully operational, radio-controlled tank. It didn't work all that well, but it was a good crack considering the time.

The question "what is a tank" has been argued for decades., this isn't the first time it's come up. What does history show about defining a tank by either role or by physical features?

General Motors Canada built the Fox armoured car on the mechanicals of the CMP truck. There are seven left in the world, this is the most intact, at the Canadian Tank Museum.

It seems such a simple problem. Keep the gun aiming in the same place while the tank moves about. It has, however, been attacked for about a century now. Here are the basics.

The NACC is the US Army's official vehicle museum, located on Fort Moore, GA. It is not routinely open to the public, but there are open days four or five times a year. Check their FB page for more info.

The BA-20 was an interwar armored car which was still in service at the beginning of WW2. This particular example was captured by the Finns and placed into service against its former owners. The video was filmed at Parola.

Parola is the location of the Finnish armor collection, it's most of an hour North of Helsinki.
To guide me around the history and the collection, I linked up with former museum director, Mr Timo Teräsvalli.

A series of 11 videos taking you in-depth into what life is like for troopers assigned to the Blackhorse Regiment, in Fort Irwin, California.

The problem with a lot of folks debating the merits vs survivability of the attack helicopter today, especially when a lot of the helos' functions can be carried out by drones or other assets, is that they often don't understand what a helo does today. It's not the tank destroyer of old.

Ma Deuce, the Fifty, Five-Oh, Point five, there are a lot of different appellations to the classic M2 HB and M85. Why do I go with "Caliber Fifty?"
I explain.

This video is good for most anyone going to Fort Irwin, not just 11th ACR. It's all very well for the soldier to go play soldier so much in the desert, but what happens to the spouses and kids who are dozens of miles away from the nearest civilian city? Or single soldiers?

11th Cav is the professional opposing force at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, CA. The main mount of the Blackhorse today is the OSV, the Opfor Surrogate Vehicle, which is basically a modified M113 with a somewhat changed Bradley turret on top.

Task Force Reaper is the brains at Blackhorse's operational level. Normally this sort of thing is a classified environment, but the 11th does things a little differently. After all, they are representing capabilities a potential enemy is already supposed to have. This is the last of the series of...

Not all recovery operations in the Box require the use of an M88. The workhorse is the HEMTT Wrecker.
