ARMOR CENTER MEMORIAL PARK
AND OUTSIDE EXHIBITS

Markers commemorating U.S. Army armored and cavalry units are located in the Armor Center Memorial Park that adjoins the museum.

The M4A3/76(w) HVSS Sherman is known affectionately as the "Easy Eight" because during development it had a prototype designation of M4A3E8. This was the last model of the Sherman produced by the United States. It had a redesigned turret, 76mm gun, wet ammunition stowage and HVSS suspension. This type still soldiers on in some form with other armies today.

An M10 tank destroyer is an open turret vehicle with a 76mm gun and based upon the Sherman chassis. Introduced in 1942, this vehicle was able to deal with most of the German armor at that time. As enemy armor grew thicker, it became more difficult for the M10 to destroy them. Because it had an open top turret, the gun crew was vulnerable to shrapnel from artillery air bursts, however, it was a vital part of the tank destroyer units.

The M115 203mm howitzer, also known as the M115 8 inch howitzer, was a towed howitzer used by the United States Army. The M115 could be towed by the M35 Prime Mover gun tractor or a large truck. The M115 saw service in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
