The U.S. military is amping up firepower in its nine year fight against terror as they deploy new heavily armored tanks into the fight to eliminate a growing Taliban and al-Quada resistance. This news comes on Friday from a military spokesperson. The U.S. Marine Corps plans to use a company of M1A1 Abrams tanks to combat the growing resistance.
These new tanks will be primarily deployed to the Helmand province in early spring. U.S. forces used the tanks to battle insurgents successfully in Iraq's Anbar province, Chapin said and they plan to see similar successful results in Helmand and other surrounding providences.
This decision comes in light of the NATO agenda which has the Afghan war at the top of its list for discussion and improvement of military tactics in the war on terror.
