Of course, then there's always the US Army dynamic entry tactics, which is rather entertaining.
Unfortunately, neither of these were from my unit over there, but we did have quite a few amusing...er...incidents involving tanks. One of my lieutenants was assigned to the one company in our battalion who got to keep their tanks (the rest went over as infantry ). They ended up deadlining, damaging, sinking, burning, or destroying over a dozen Abrams tanks over their one-year tour. Only a very few were due to combat damage, the rest being rather entertaining accidents, or the ground giving way. I have pictures, if anyone's interested...
