This is making me feel really good about that JUN/OCT 2023 date for the M1A2C (SEP V3) the following is the second unit to receive this tank. The Spartan Brigade, 2ABCT, US 3rd Infanty Division is getting them now along with the modernized M2A3 BRADLEY just up the road from me (~1hr.+) at Ft. Stewart Ga.

The first unit as posted by me was the and as taken from the below ref... “Greywolves” of the 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division are the first US Army unit to operate the M1A2C, the latest version of the M1 Abrams main battle tank. They received their M1A2Cs at Fort Hood, the 1st Cavalry Division’s home base. " this occurred in Jul 2020. The update I have in my files was from this past OCT 2021 that they were conducting firing testing/qualifications.

This good news for us we're getting can't say the same for the Russians and their ARMATA. Wouldn't be ironic if we see the VT4 in Ukraine?

Nothing would surprise me at this time.

Pat
