Text in original Preserved Tanks In USA publication:
This M551 was transferred from TACOM at Warren, Michigan, in September 1978 and used for a time at Fort Knox for training. It has an armoured machine-gun mount above the commander’s cupola, and is in running order. For some years it was displayed in a Vietnam setting in the Patton Museum, with the museum’s M41A3. It was moved by transporter from Fort Knox to Fort Benning on 15 December 2010.
