President
USABOT (pronounced "you-say-bo") is the living embodiment of the Tanker Brotherhood, a fellowship forged in steel, strengthened through service, and united by a shared commitment to the heritage of the United States Army Armor Force.
Our brotherhood honors every generation of Armor Soldiers who have served our nation, from the tank crews who fought across the battlefields of World War II to those serving today in the Active Duty Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve. We proudly recognize the crews, mechanics, maintainers, recovery specialists, and support personnel whose skill, sacrifice, and dedication have ensured the readiness and success of America's armored forces throughout history.
We care for our own. We preserve our history. We share our experiences and knowledge so that future generations will understand the legacy of the Armor Force and the sacrifices of those who served before them.
We are committed to collecting, preserving, and promoting the history and heritage of the United States Army Armor Force through education, historical preservation, living history, and public outreach. We honor those who gave their lives in defense of our nation and those who continue to stand ready in its service.
The Armor Force has stood as a symbol of strength, courage, and determination from World War I to the present day. Its legacy lives on through those who wore the black beret, the Armor branch insignia, and the crossed sabers with pride.
United by our past, committed to our future, and dedicated to preserving the heritage of America's armored warriors, we proudly stand together as one Brotherhood.
Above all, we remain TANKERS.
