description/mission statement:
Hundreds of Armies have developed millions of ground war fighting machines since 1900. Most of these have been lost to war damage, peace time demolition, and decay. However, several examples still remain and are on display across the world. Many people today still remember fighting and training in these machines during their service in the military. This group is for marking the display locations of this ground equipment no matter which branch of the service they belonged to. You can find these static displays at museums, next to armories, near veteran meeting halls, and in historic battle areas. Most locations are unknown to most people. Marking these locations will bring to light these areas that so many veterans like to visit and remember, and to bring back to life the memory of those who served for causes they firmly believed in.
This can include:
- Tanks
- Missile launchers
- Anti aircraft guns
- Humvees
- Armored Personel Carriers
- Supply trucks
- Jeeps
- Rail cars/engines
- Bulldozer equipment
- Experimental items
- And more...
These items must have had a primary use in the military. Each item listed is required to have a photo. Additional photos are requested to show any identification markings, special design features, nearby plaques, etc.
Please include any information pertaining to the equipment such as:
- Make
- Model
- Location
- Years of operation
- Units assigned
- Campaigns participated
- Any significant achievements
- And any additional info you can provide
Aircraft should be listed in the "Static Aircraft Displays" category.
Do not mark equipment in restricted areas and/or areas that will cause security concerns.
