Never mind the goobers in the front with the big bullets...look at the track of the vehicle behind them. This was an M1 of H Co., 2/2 ACR, Germany, in 1986; we were downloading the combat rounds prior to going to gunnery. Note the light rust on the outer portions of the track. Also note the scratches down the sides of the track skirts. We washed our vehicles after any trip into the mud, and that was about it. The tanks were over a year old...the regiment had transitioned in early '85, before I was transfered there.
One thing I remember very well...the only time I ever saw really rusty track was after a number of vehicles had theirs traded out. The old tracks got rolled up, and they sat in the motor pool for a while. It didn't take long to start rusting up. Unfortunately I don't have any photos, I don't think. |
