With the Army following the Marines and adopting the
M1 Assault Breacher does the Army still have the
M1 Panther II in service or is it being replaced with
M1 ABV?

If memory serves the 130th EN BDE had some but I haven't encountered one in years. All of the BEBs in heavy BCTs are fielding the ABV which is much more capable than the Panther II. Still an interesting model to build. I always saw them in the overall NATO green paint similar to what the Strykers have.
