What Army Tankers Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider

Published on 1 year ago

We got an inside look at how the United States Army trains tankers and cavalry scouts during its 22-week One Station Unit Training. Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan went inside the Armor School in Fort Benning, Georgia, where he observed soldiers at various stages of training.
After completing 10 weeks of basic combat training, soldiers go through 12 more weeks of advanced instruction. Future tankers learn how to drive, fire, and maintain the M1 Abrams battle tank, which has been the Army's primary tank since the Gulf War. Soldiers also learn how to load the tank's ammunition rounds, which range in weight from about 30 to 60 pounds.
Along with tankers, the Armor School trains cavalry scouts, whose mission is to perform reconnaissance and gather intelligence in the field and report to leadership, who may decide to utilize armored weapons and vehicles based on the scouts' reports. Cavalry scouts also train with anti-armor weapons like grenade launchers and rocket launchers.

Would It be beneficial for a shorter lean man to be a tanker

I’m a 13 year old and I have always wanted to be a 19k operator. I proud to say that I think I would do well because of my physical and mental capabilities as well as my research.

That constant high pitched sound of that jet engine would drive me nuts. What’s funny about the sabo round is we are finding out via the Ukraine war that we don’t even need it to penetrate the armor of a T-72 or even a T-90 tank. A regular explosive round will do the job. Their armor isn’t nearly as good as what we thought. Today it seems the modern tanks biggest threat isn’t even another tank. It’s the shoulder fired anti tank missile. However, it appears that most armies that have them are allied nations. I have not heard of a Ukrainian tank being knocked out by a Russian shoulder fired anti tank missile. Most Ukrainian tanks are taken out by Russian artillery. We will learn a lot from Ukraines long expected counter offensive this spring and summer. For Ukraine it’s a war but for NATO it’s a class room. We are learning a lot from this war.

In Iraq I remember 3 Abrams disasters. The first went off the side of an overpass, the second was pulverized by a massive IED (daisy chain of 152mm artillery rounds) and another turtled into a canal right off the Euphrates River when the levy gave way (drowning the crew).

William Harris . 1 month ago

I was in for 28 years starting in 1985 going all the way to 2014. The first 10 years of my career were spent in a tank starting from the M48A5 Patton to the M 60 because I told A3 Patton and then eventually to the M1A1 Abrams in the first gulf war. Those were some of the best times of my career, and even though they were times where the threat of getting killed in a tank was very real, I don’t regret any of the time spent.

The crews I served with were the best, and we knew exactly why we were in our tank, and we all depended upon each other

Dang, GuP massively underplayed how tanking works, huh.

Infantry Veteran . 2 months ago

As a 11M (mechanized Infantryman veteran), who was around the Abrams constantly, and had a friend as a tanker, I only got to see inside & stuff they don't show anyone only ONCE. I will never talk about the Abrams tanks or what inside looks like, etc.

Respect their privacy for national security reasons.

Tanks are invincible to most infantry and light armored infantry. Unfortunately, they are i7keasy prey for helicopters and aircraft missiles though. Maybe tanks have anti missile defense now. There's still no defense against heavy caliber rapid fire cannon rounds like with the A10.

The Abrams tank is one of THE most survivable tank with 0 combat-related fatalities which means the Abrams has never been knocked out in combat since 1979. It's a very safe vehicle but it's still a tank and accidents are prone like engine fires or mechanical failures.

Grzesuav94 . 2 months ago

I know enough about tanks and anti-tank weaponry throughout history to 100% agree with "not feeling safe" in a tank. You may be in an armored box, but nothing is indestructable. And tanks are a high value target on the battlefield, cause they can do a lot of damage.
