- Tanks_in_the_Australian_Army abstract "This article deals with the history and development of tanks by the Australian Army from their first use with the troops in World War I, through the inter war period, World War II, the Cold War and beyond.The Australian Army has used several different types of tanks since the 1920s. Throughout this period the Army has primarily been a light infantry force, with its tanks mainly being used to provide direct support to soldiers. During World War II three armoured divisions capable of independent operations were formed, but none were deployed outside Australia. The Australian Army's tanks have seen combat during World War II and the Vietnam War, where they proved successful despite the designs employed being considered obsolete.The first Australian tanks were a small number of British light tanks were operated mainly for training purposes during the 1920s and 1930s. From 1942 large numbers of American light and medium tanks were delivered to Australia, along with British Matilda IIs. In addition, a small number of Australian-designed Sentinel tanks were delivered to the Army during 1942 and 1943, but the type was never issued to combat units. Following World War II the Army standardised on the British Centurion tank, which remained in service until it was replaced with the German Leopard 1s in the mid-1970s. After a debate on whether the Army should continue to operate tanks, the Australian Government replaced the Leopards with a small fleet of American M1A1 Abrams tanks in from 2006, which remain the Army's only tanks. In addition to these types, the Army has operated small numbers of other tank designs for training and evaluation purposes.".
