See section:

 

First Tanks Arrive

 

Fort Jackson received its first tanks in early 1942 when the 757th Tank Battalion was transferred to the Post from Fort Knox, Kentucky . The terrain at Fort Jackson was considered ideal for tank training, and during maneuvers the armored monsters played a big part in the “ Battle of the Carolinas .†The arrival of the lumbering tanks added still another branch of service to those in training at this busy military Post that already included infantry, artillery, mechanized cavalry, and “tank-killer†units.
