"CROWS" on the Abrams
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.

Hi Mark! Hi Folks!

- MarkHolloway

Anybody seen pictures of this? Guess they only have it at Fort Bliss.

Roy, Need a Spot Report!

For some info on the CROWS system, which I think is one of the TUSK items for upgrading the Abrams for urban combat.

Sorry, I have not seem them yet! So far I have not spotted any Abrams tanks around the main post/Biggs Field area. My guess is all of them are out at Dona Anna Base Camp.

The other week when I was out at the Camp area, I saw a number of M1A2s in a motor pool, but those vehicles DIDN'T have the CROWS system installed.

The article says "D Company". It maybe that is the only company that has them and possible they were added after I was out at Dona Anna. It could also be those were out at Range 40 that day.

Very interesting! Eyes Open! Camera Ready!
Sgt, Scouts Out!

WOW, Cool... That's MY old unit in 99-01. I 'owned' 3rd Platoon. In 01, after my PCS, all the D Co's were deactivated. Nice to see Delta 'Dragons' is back, with new 'toys'. BTW: D 34 (my baby...) was 'Dangerous Toys 2'. Don _________________ "Gonna hold my breath until Armor returns home..."
