Article Abstract:
The US Army to equip its Abrams main battle tank's M1A2 System Enhancement Package variant into a single brigade of each of its seven divisions. The US Army also plans to equip the M1A1D, a digitized variant of its standard M1A1, into the two other brigades. The move, which results to the creation of a mixed force, was prompted by financial limitations that will enable the service to deploy 1,150 units of M1A2 System Enhancement Packages, which is less than its initial plan of deploying 2,403 units of the M1A2 System Enhancement Package.
