OOB 22 Question

[Karagin]

Why does this OOB have the M1A1 SA? We never sent any Abrams to Afghanistan, other than a limited run by the Marines, and those were pulled out LONG before the country fell. The unit I am referring to is Unit 657.

Having been in Afghanistan, with tankers who wanted their beloved Abrams, but were told the terrain didn't favor the proper use of the said system, the only tanks I saw while there were Leopards of the Canadians.

Now I know the OOBs are normally well researched, so I am asking if there are any documents that support this inclusion and yes before Don says it, I know I can easily delete it vis MobHack, and in fact already have.

So I am mainly asking the why, and wonder if the logic (or lack of it) of giving the Iraqis M1s that would we would do the same to the Afghani military, and thus it falls into the hands of the Mujahideen/Taliban, etc...flavor of the month name, and all that.
