The M1A1 Abrams was adopted as the Main Battle Tank for US ground forces in the early 1980's. Being the culmination of four decades of tank research, the Abrams represents a quantum leap forward in tank design: It is highly mobile, has an incredibly robust armor package, and packs a lethal punch that is deadly effective both day and night. The M1A1 version of the Abrams fought in this configuration for Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
