Armor Warfighting Conference, Ft. Knox - #2
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Some additional photos of vehicles on display outside the conference center (Skidgel Hall) in the parking lot during the 2007 Armor Warfighting Conference at Ft. Knox.

I took these at the end of April and I hope some of you find these useful or informative. Laughing

Hi Bob,

It is the M88A2 Hercules (Name is actually an acronym, but I forget off hand). It is the same base vehicle updated to handle the 70ton weight of the heavy A1/A2s.

Was the addition of the weapons station to the M88 a result of combat experience in Iraq?

Hi Doug,

Yep, Sabot (or is it "C'est Beau"? Laughing ) is correct: M88A2 'HERCULES'. See:

www.fas.org/man/dod-10...88a1e1.htm

www.globalsecurity.org.../m88a2.htm

www.uniteddefense.com/...010405.htm

1050 horsepower turbo-charged diesel. Lots of oompf there. Smile It needs it since it weighs 140,000 lbs. That's seventy tons...... Surprised

If I remember right the old M-88 'gassers' had 1050 horse power.

The tank above has the bumper # "BED-01". Translation: The M1 tank fleet (At Ft Knox) is divided into three fleets- A.B & C'. "ED" is an enhanced diagnostics M1A1. So this tank is a 'B' Fleet Enhanced Diagnotics Tank, Vehicle #1.
