"Actually the m1a1 Abrams is air tight to prevent leaks and fire damage so to keep the crew from suffocating the Abrams has air conditioning so despite the fact that its 125 degrees in Iraq our tank crews are siting in beautiful 62 degree weather"

I can tell you were not a 19K Armor crewman. The abrams does not have air conditioning. Actually, during normal operations the inside of the tank will run a little hotter than the outside air temp.

The previous answer was refering to the NBC (nuclear , biological, chemical) system. This system basicly cycles air through the engine to burn of particles, then cools that air and pumps it to the crew compartment via hoses at each station that the crew can attach to their gas mask.
