Several months ago, I noticed some news footage of M1 tanks towing
trailers, and I posted a query to this group about the purpose of these
trailers. (No one seemed to know.) According to an article in my Sunday
newspaper, these trailers launch projectiles ahead of the tank that are
supposed to detonate land mines.  No details about functioning were given.
I assume that the trailer is detached before the tank engages in battle.
