Tanker No More
We got the official word a few weeks ago that our unit will no longer be a cavalry unit (meaning, for the most part, no more tanks). After the deployment, the unit will start to transition to, I think, a mechanized infantry brigade. Recognizing a need to be lighter, faster, and more quickly deployable, the Army is getting away from having quite so many heavy armored units. Either that, or we just make them nervous because we’re the only unit (active duty or National Guard) to have ever beaten the opposition force (mock bad guys) at the National Training Center (where they hold armored war games) in California.
