As does USAF Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams for Base Recovery After Attack (BRAAT) during war time. Used with a modified M9 dozer blade to clear submunitions from airfields and as a heavy armor base for small munitions disruption (SMUD) clearance operations using the on board M85, the MaDuce, Barrett M82A1, Scoped M1A rifles etc.... Used to be a two week course on driving and maintenance, then delivered to us with a grease gun, 5 gallon bucket of grease, wrench, string for track tension, manual and do not remove tags on every damn thing till ya read the manual. Of course we were two week wonder wing nuts with maybe 50 hours of actual operation of the tank.
Desert Storm was first and last time for use in my career....... loved the M60A3.
I liked the M48A2C I went through tanker school at Ft Knox with. I REALLY liked the brand-new M60A1 that I was assigned to in my first line tank unit, and lo and behold, when we fired for qualification, I was not only given the job of gunner, but posted the highest gunnery score on our battalion. Which scored higher than any other tank outfit in Europe. Later I went on to the M60A1 AOS, the M60A1 RISE and the M60A3, as well as a couple of assignments in M48A3s and a short one in the M48A5. But the old M60A1 was the girl what I brung to the dance, and we had a great time together....
