Ok I am going to show my lack of knowledge on armor. What the heck are they? Looks to me that someone is emptying their armor museum.

I identified an MBT-70 (remember that one), a Pershing, M-48, a proto-type super heavy tank from the late 1940's.  Yeah, it does look like a museum is relocating. Huh?

I think most of the Patton museum is moved, Rob G would know. By the shap of some of them, it could be from the Aberdeen storage areas. If they are down by Manny they are headed into Ft Benning.

Rounds Complete!!

Looks like the Grendel from the Patton museum and the US T-34 heavy tank prototype.  Must be moving the Patton museum stock from the holding area they were in down to their new home at Fort Benning.  Just a hunch.  (please don't let 'em be cut up!)

It's the former Patton Museum collection heading to Ft. Benning. It used to be the Patton Museum of Armor and Cavalry. The Patton Museum stays at Knox, the Armor and Cavalry museum moves to Benning.

For those of you who have been at the Patton Museum a year or more ago, going there now is like night and day.

Using your previous trips to Knox as a guide, here is a basic armored vehicle tour if going to Knox.

Step 1: drive on US 31W to Fort Knox, if coming from the north, stop at the M60A1 at Muldraugh Hill. If coming from the south stop at the M103 in downtown Radcliff.

Step 2: place a burlap bag over your head and have a family member drive to the museum.

Step 3: Have them guide you into the area by the museum restrooms. Take off burlap bag.

Step 4: walk to gift shop, look around the area where Patton's Cadillac is.

Step 5: place bag back on your head and have them drive you away.

That's about all the armor you will see.
