Amazing Facts About M1 Abrams Tank

M1 Abrams Four-Member Crew

A tank cannot function without a good team. Regarding the M1 Abrams, a four-member crew operates it: A driver, commander/machine gunner, loader, and a gunner. The commander has additional responsibilities, including observation post/listening post (OP/LP) operations, upkeep support, etc. That sounds like a good time to us. Sometimes these tanks are moved by a truck named Oshkosh M1070 and M1000 Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS). HETS include space for the whole crew.
