FORT HOOD, TEXAS

{short description of image}

At this web site we are collecting photography of armored vehicles and artillery pieces at museums in the United States. The initial collection consists of vehicles at the two divisional museums and elsewhere on Ft Hood, Texas. We also have photos of the Aberdeen Proving Ground, and Ft Lewis Washington as well as Russian Central Army Museum and World War II Museum in Moscow, the Russian Armor Museum at Kubinka, the Russian Artillery Museum in St. Petersburg and the Ukrainian military museum at Kyiv. The Museums of the 4th ID and First Cavalry have extensive, excellent displays inside their buildings, depicting the lengthy, distinguished histories of the divisions and their heroic personnel. But here we show mostly the outside exhibits that include not only their American armored vehicles but also many captured foreign vehicles.
