The M1 is the principal main battle tank (MBT) of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. It is possibly the best (and most expensive) combination of firepower, mobility and protection of any tank in Western service.

The M1 Abrams is the backbone of the armored forces of the United States military, and several of US allies as well. The purpose of this vehicle is to provide mobile firepower for armored formations of sufficient capability to successfully close with and destroy any opposing armored fighting vehicle in the world, while providing protection for it's crew in any conceivable combat environment. It is capable of engaging the enemy in any weather, day or night. The Abrams Tank System synchronizes its high tempo, distributed maneuver via its digitized situational awareness and the fusion of onboard and remote battlefield sensors.
