Post Armor Branch Saved by M113 Gavin Light Tanks

With the demise of Armor branch underway with the move to tree-covered Fort Benning where road-motorized infantry at a walking pace will lord it over tankers, there is one tank left, a light one, the M113 Gavin that can still go cross-country and not get stuck.....

Naming the M113 after General James M. Gavin to honor the great human being who created it

Maybe we can start over and become the Cavalry branch we should have been all along?

Actually the Gavin is an AFV Armored fight vehicle not a tank
