The Graveyard of Empires changed armored warfare forever.

For 20 years, Afghanistan served as the ultimate proving ground for American military technology. What began with soft-skinned Humvees patrolling Kabul evolved into a desperate technological arms race against the deadliest threat of the modern era: the Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

In this complete archive, we break down every single tank, armored truck, and special operations vehicle deployed by the United States between 2001 and 2021. From the 70-ton M1 Abrams "Beast" crushing compound walls in Helmand to the V-hulled MRAP revolution designed to survive massive blasts, this is the definitive history of US armor in the Middle East.
