HISTORY OF TANK CORPS JOE
Around 1923, the famed tank riding dog, Old Joe, befriended the soldiers who manned the infantry¹s light tanks. Joe became the Sixty-Sixth Infantry’s official pet by order of the commanding officer of Fort Meade and acquired fame by becoming the Army’s only tank-riding dog. Joe died in 1937 in the post hospital. The entire Sixty-Sixth Infantry honored Joe with a military formation and a procession of tanks and military trucks escorted Joe to a grave near one of the tank parks.
