TAKOM M60A1 with BULLDOZER ERA & M9 1-35
 While the US Army had been equipped with the M1 Abrams since the early 1980s, the US Marine Corps still relied on the proven M60A1 tank.
 In order to adapt it to the threats of the modern battlefield, the M60A1 has undergone several combat upgrades.
 Including reactive armor.
 These Navy tanks were also used in the first Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm:
 In early February 1991, 200 M60A1s of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force (1MEF) crossed the border into Kuwait, north of Khafji, Saudi Arabia. During the battle for Kuwait International Airport, they encountered an Iraqi force equipped with T-54, T-55, T-62, Type 69, and T-72 tanks.
 The Marines won the battle and destroyed about 100 Iraqi tanks with only one M60A1 lost (due to anti-tank mines).
 Some tanks were equipped with an M9 bulldozer blade for engineering tasks.
