I'm not sure that's true. Tanks are not very kind to concrete roadway
surfaces, nor do they move very fast, and of course drink up fuel. I
would think if tanks have to be moved any sort of distance they would
be loaded onto trains.

Not to drive them - military vehicles in the US are mostly moved on flat bed
semi trailers. The train system wouldn't have near the capacity or reach.
