The U.S. Army Is Repainting Its Tanks Green—Hint Hint
Abrams get a camouflage scheme for a European battlefield

American tanks returned to Europe to deter Russian military adventurism in 2014, and the war machines are there to stay. But the speed of the deployments, coupled with the crews’ busy schedules, left little time to repaint hundreds of M-1 Abrams still colored in desert tan.

Their appearance was a jarring contrast, since for most of the year, Eastern Europe … is green. The tanks stuck out, which in the event of a conflict, is the last thing a military should want its machines—and by extension its soldiers—to do.
