We're rolling deep with Army vehicles and aircraft for our 250th Birthday Parade!

Here's a sneak peek at what we're bringing for this once-in-a-lifetime event! 🧵

#Army250 Parade vehicles coming in by train.
We've used the M1A2 Abrams tank since 1980; it was known for shooting accurately while on the move. It's first combat operation was Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Soldiers found it reliable, lethal, and tough, despite its limited range. M1A2 Abrams tank
This might look and sound like a tank, but it's technically a Self-Propelled Howitzer.

First introduced in the 1960s, the Paladin has been upgraded and adapted to perform in various battlefields from the jungles to the desert. Paladin

Armed with a pistol and a cane, Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. landed with the first wave at Utah Beach on D-Day.

This is the epic story of the first General to land on D-Day, who was also the son of a U.S. President. 🧵 Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Portrait
Roosevelt was the son of the legendary Rough Rider.

He volunteered to fight in WWI, earning a Distinguished Service Cross and the French Chevalier Légion d’Honneur.

Roosevelt was shot in the leg and was later forced to use a cane, but that didn’t stop him from joining the fight.Theodore Roosevelt Jr during WWI on the left.
@CMOH_Society When WWII broke out, once again Roosevelt volunteered.
He led troops in North Africa and Sicily before being reassigned to help plan the D-Day invasion.
But he wanted to do more than plan, he wanted to be with his troops. Lt. Gen. Patton on the left with Brig. Gen. Roosevelt on the right

Somalia, 1993: Two Delta Force snipers volunteered to rescue a Black Hawk crew surrounded by militants. They knew the odds, but went in anyway.

This is the true story of Medal of Honor recipients Master Sgt. Gary Gordon (L) and Sfc. Randy Shughart (R). 🧵 Master Sgt. Gary Gordon
Sfc. Randy Shughart
@MohMuseum @CMOH_Society Two @USASOCNews Black Hawk helicopters were shot down in hostile territory during a raid to capture a Somali warlord’s top lieutenants.

One crash site had four survivors, but no ground support was coming.

Gordon and Shughart were determined to help. A map of the crash sites.
The snipers requested permission to go in and support the second crash site. With hordes of militants surrounding the area, Command said ‘no,’ twice, it was too dangerous.

Unfazed, Gordon and Shughart asked again to enter. This time, Command approved.

Gordon and Shughart knew they’d be outnumbered, but that didn't stop them.

The M10 Booker is NOT a tank, but it's still lethal. 💥

The armored infantry support vehicle, is currently being tested at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground.

🔗 army.mil/article/283010The M10’s main weapon is a M35 105mm low-recoil tank gun, significantly larger than the 25mm chain gun on the Bradley, and also boasts a 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun and 7.62 mm Coax machine gun. The platform’s diesel engine puts out 800 horsepower and can power it up to 40 miles per hour. (U.S. Army photo by Mark Schauer)
Here's some info on the two Soldiers the Booker was named after....

The vehicle platform honors two enlisted Army Soldiers who served our nation selflessly during times of great conflict – Medal of Honor recipient Pvt. Robert D. Booker, who perished in World War II, and Distinguished Service Cross recipient Staff Sgt. Stevon A. Booker, who died from injuries sustained in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
