Anyone who reads Task & Purpose knows: we adore a good tank name.
Sure, we love our friends and families, but not as much as tanks with names like Dropped as a Baby, ASVAB Waiver, and Come And Take It.
To the list of excellent tank names we’ve chronicled over the years, we must now add “Divine Intervention,” an M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank whose photo popped up recently on the military’s public archive for official images and video, the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, or DVIDS.
“Divine Intervention” belongs to 6th Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division. Army Sgt. Myenn LaMotta of the 7th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment snapped its picture as the crew showed off their war machine to British troops during an Oct. 1 joint promotion ceremony in Estonia.
