You dont need an ARV to tow a tank. You can do it with any other tank or tracked vehicle that is strong enough.
True. I was getting a bit of tunnel vision. Another tank could tow one as long as the tank being towed isn't mired where it can't easily be reached. There are lots of examples where tanks were just left stuck where they were, but there are also lots of examples of tanks being towed out. In the end, it boils down to the desire to do so.
