Finding these would be right up the alley of a PC team.
And I agree with Paul - remember the canon statement in the US Army Vehicle Guide - and I quote "by 2000 virtually anything with armor and a gun was being used by armored units in the United States as a tank"

Thus even a fully functional Sherman tank would be considered a very useful addition to any US unit by 2000-2001
