2nd Tanks firepower exercise...photos by Cpl. Paul S. Martinez

Note:  Is it my imagination or are we seeing a "born again hard" feel in Marine Tanks?  I hope so.  I'm still a fan of the concept of mounting a 105mm gun on a Amphibious Combat Vehicle and putting Marine Tankers in them to provide fire support for MEU's and having the M1A1's setup for MEB/MEF ops but even if we maintain the status quo its good to see this activity.
