[SFC Deal]

Hi, Does anyone know where I could get a (gutted) Display Tank to put in my local Veteran's Park?

At one time the Center for Military History had something to do with this, but I think it has changed. Call 'em, they will let you know.

I recently pointed another organization in this direction and they received their vehicle within a few months. Here's where to start---coming from the VFW.

Check page 157 of the 2011 Commanders Manual (can be downloaded from VFW.org). It details the process you can go through to obtain surplus military equipment for static display at your Post.

US Army Tank Command, TACOM is in charge of all Army equipment loaned out for displays. The want list is long and political. Expect a very, very long wait unless you get you senator involved.

Yep, should have mentioned, the place the reference shows above is TACOM and the place that I had go to that reference was only looking for a M113. I think it does have a lot to do with what you want and there is expense to it. The vehicle has to be demilled and transported at your expense. It still belongs to the govt.

The good part is that most of the 'display only' tanks are stored in Anniston, AL, so the shipping will only be an arm and a leg, with a mortgage on your first-born.
