Lt. Col. Michael Purcell:
It's the integration of all arms, right, so aviation, ideally, armor in this case. A tank is hard to replace. And then, of course, infantry along with what they call the king of the battlefield, artillery.
When we talk about combined arms, we think hard about putting the enemy or the opposing force into a dilemma, in the sense that, if they move, they're going to be exposed to artillery fires or aviation fires. If they stay put, we're pushing forward closer to their location in order to gain an advantage. Easier said than done.
1ST. Sgt. David Gonzales (RET.), U.S. Army: The Abrams, to me, is one of the greatest, if not the greatest tank on the battlefield, and, to me, has saved my butt more time than once.
