The “Ivy Division” tank crews weathered 112 degrees Fahrenheit at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, with “full ready rack combat loads” of the XM-1147 Advanced Multi-Purpose round in the M1A2 Abrams tank.

The two tank crews shot 90 rounds at anti-tank guided missile teams, massed infantry fighting vehicles and bunker targets, while also running both real and simulated threats in the test, according to an Army statement.
