Panzerbrigade Bundeswehr
The latest series from TANKOGRAD addresses primarily one of us recently neglected readers: the maneuver fan! The publication features outstanding maneuver-use photos, partly full-page illustrated, depicting modern battle tanks and armored vehicles wheel chain in their natural "habitat": the hard work around the world. In the well-known above-average image quality, exercises are presented dramatically and with short informative captions to the vehicles exciting. Attention: As this new series is especially for newcomers to the topic and a young audience, the text is less technical, but easier to understand than in our other series.

M915
Early Variants
AM General-built Trucks of the M915 Family in the US Army
The M915 is the baseline vehicle of a family of tractor trucks and construction vehicles that was manufactured initially by AM General (early variants, as covered in this publication: M915, M915A1, M916, M917, M918, M919, M920, P1-CPK) and later by Freightliner (late variants). Entering service in 1979, and still fielded today, the family consists of 6x4 line haul tractor trucks, 6x6 light equipment transport tractor trucks, 8x6 medium equipment transporter tractor trucks, and 6x6 and 8x6 chassis for bituminous distributors, concrete mobile-mixers and dump trucks. This publication describes the M915’s development history, technology and extensively shows the vehicle in action.

GEPARD
The Gepard Self-Propelled Antiaircraft Gun in German Service
The Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 1 Gepard self-propelled antiaircraft gun is an autonomous, highly mobile, all-weather air defence weapon system. Fitted with two 35mm automatic cannons, a search radar and a tracking radar, the vehicle can engage fixed-wing and rotary-winged aircraft at short and very short ranges, including suddenly appearing targets. In service from 1976 to 2010, the vehicle was fielded by the German Army Air Defence Force in the following variants: Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 1 Gepard (B2), Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 1 A1 Gepard (B2L) and Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 1 A2 Gepard. This publication describes the Gepard�s development history, technology and extensively shows the vehicle in action.

Australian M1A1 Abrams
Among the export versions of the American M1 Abrams main battle tank family the Australian M1A1 AIM SA certainly is the most compelling. The opening chapter of this publication features in-the-field shots of the "Aussie" M1A1 Abrams whilst on exercise, and this is followed by a walkaround showing the tank in more detail. Another chapter features the M88A2 HERCULES armoured recovery vehicle purchased for the Abrams-equipped units. A number of combat support vehicles (e.g. tank transporters, fuel tankers) are regularly seen operating alongside the M1A1s and M88A2s, and a selection of these vehicles appear in the final section of this volume. This is the first comprehensive documentation on the topic.
