I believe "Yukon Jack" was one of the original M1's sent to Alaska for testing & evaluation in the early 80ies. The name was taken from one of better brands of Canadian Whiskey.

Art is correct in his response....as the M1 wasn't permanently stationed in Alaska

The paint scheme wasn't used anywhere else in the tanks history either!
