What Army Tankers Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider

We got an inside look at how the United States Army trains tankers and cavalry scouts during its 22-week One Station Unit Training. Chief video correspondent Graham Flanagan went inside the Armor School in Fort Benning, Georgia, where he observed soldiers at various stages of training.After completing 10 weeks of basic combat training, soldiers go through 12 more weeks of advanced instruction. Future tankers learn how to drive, fire, and maintain the M1 Abrams battle tank, which has been the Army's primary tank since the Gulf War. Soldiers also learn how to load the tank's ammunition rounds, which range in weight from about 30 to 60 pounds.Along with tankers, the Armor School trains cavalry scouts, whose mission is to perform reconnaissance and gather intelligence in the field and report to leadership, who may decide to utilize armored weapons and vehicles based on the scouts' reports. Cavalry scouts also train with anti-armor weapons like grenade launchers and rocket launchers.MORE BOOT CAMP VIDEOS:Every Piece Of Gear In An Army Cavalry Scout’s 72-Hour Bag | Loadouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dsbn93lT8eoHow Army Soldiers Train To Fight Hand-To-Hand In Boot Camp | Boot Camphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUhuZrfh0hQEvery Piece Of Gear In A Military Dog Handler’s Field Bag | Loadouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8fpEgydyoY------------------------------------------------------#ArmyTankers #BootCamp #BusinessInsiderBusiness Insider tells you all you need to know about business, finance, tech, retail, and more.Visit us at: https://www.businessinsider.comSubscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/businessinsiderBI on Facebook: https://read.bi/2xOcEcjBI on Instagram: https://read.bi/2Q2D29TBI on Twitter: https://read.bi/2xCnzGFBI on Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Business_Insider/5319643143Boot Camp on Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Boot_Camp/3383377771What Army Tankers Go Through In Boot Camp | Boot Camp | Business Insider
