Over the weekend, Soldiers from the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team - 116th CBCT's 2-116th Combined Arms Battalion hosted a family day so that their families could see the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank in action. The unit is conducting gunnery this week in preparation of a deployment later this year. The event gave families the opportunity to learn more about the mission their loved ones stand ready to execute anywhere in the world in defense of our nation's interest.
