M-1 ABRAMS TANK



“In my first address to the country, I went before the American people to report
on the condition of our economy. I also proposed strengthening the Nation's
defenses, to restore our margin of safety and counter the Soviet military
buildup….A year ago every component of military strength was flashing warning
lights of neglect, under-investment, and deteriorating capability. Today, health
is being restored….Critical investments in conventional and strategic force
modernization are now moving rapidly forward. A new bomber for early deployment
and an advanced (Stealth) bomber for the 1990's have been approved to retain our
capability to penetrate Soviet air defenses. Development of a new, larger, and
more accurate MX missile to preserve our land-based deterrent is proceeding. A
5-year shipbuilding program including 133 new ships and a total investment of
$96 billion -- double the 5-year program of the previous administration -- has
been launched. Rapid production of new combat systems including the M-1 Abrams
tank, the AV-8B Marine Corps attack aircraft and the F/A-18 Navy tactical
fighter have been approved. Improvements in our airlift and sealift forces to
transport equipment and soldiers rapidly to counter military aggression anywhere
in the world, are moving forward.” – Ronald Reagan, February 8, 1982

To highlight President Reagan’s Peace Through Strength Initiatives, the Reagan
Library officially dedicated this M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank on December 4,
2021.  The Abrams Tank was designed in the 1970s and issued to the United States
Army for use in February 1980.  This specific tank is named after United States
Army General Creighton Williams Abrams, Jr., who commanded military operations
in Vietnam and served as Chief of Staff of the Army from 1972 until his death in
1974.

The M1 Abrams Tanks were originally designed by Chrysler Defense, which is now
General Dynamics.  It was designed as a highly mobile main-battle tank for
modern armored ground warfare. Weighing in at 62 metric tons, it’s one of the
heaviest main battle tanks in service. 



When visiting the Reagan Library, we encourage you to walk our outside grounds
to get up close to our three military vehicles – our Abrams Tank, Our F117
Stealth Fighter Jet and our F14 Fighter Jet.  Each represents President Reagan’s
peace through strength initiatives.
