What is on display at TACOM (Warren, MI)?...
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.

I realized I needed to go back to some info I had on whats on display there... Notably, shawn sent me some glossies some time ago (which I dont think I ever got around to scanning and cant find just now) of some interesting items. Here's what I have so far... TACOM is another one of those places like Fort Sill that just isnt publicized very much...

M48 w/ Shillelagh turret USA out
M55 USA out
M110 USA out
MBT-70? USA out
T23 Medium Tank USA std RN 30103066
T30 Heavy Tank USA out
T43 Heavy Tank USA out
T93 HMC USA out
XM1 Abrams USA std PV4, has original Chrysler XM1 turret
XM1 Abrams USA std
XM800W ARSV USA out
XM808 Twister USA out

Notably, I cant find any reference in Hunnicutt's Patton to the M48 with a Shillelagh turret...

Sorry to say, but most of those are long gone.....
Here is what is still around.
Front lawn
M1 Basic
M110
Bradley A2
HEMTT

Inside main gate
T-30
T-93

Back Gate
Twister

The T23 is hiding in a back building where it is slowly being restored, I visit her every so often.

Most of those others you listed are now at Anniston, where no one can see them.....

There is a M551 turret sitting outside bldg 200 as well
And a poor CUCV ambulance rusting over by the fence

All sorts of new stuff around, but not for looking
No point visiting here, you have a hard time getting on and good luck getting a camera pass.
