Combined Arms Contact - Centurion in the fight When Australia's Centurion Tanks joined with infantry on the Vietnam battlefields they were a force multiplier to be reckoned with. Australian-modified Centurion tanks of the 1st Armoured Regiment provided massive fire power - a 20 pounder main gun, a coaxial.50 cal Browning sighting gun, and the commander's turret mounted .30 cal Browning. When the first Australian Centurions deployed in 1968 many in Defence questioned how effective these 51.8 tonne giants would be in the paddy fields and jungles, but doubts were quickly dismissed as the heavy armour proved its ability on all fronts - in defensive and offensive roles. In the 2013 artwork 'Combined Arms Contact' from which this medallion image is lifted, renowned Australian artist, Drew Harrison shows how the tanks could provide valuable cover and fire support to give advantage to infantry. The last of Australian Centurions were withdrawn from Vietnam in 1971. In all 58 Centurions served in Vietnam - most suffered battle damage, some beyond repair
