In 1950, the US Army redesignated tanks as 120mm Heavy Gun tanks, 90mm Medium Gun tanks, and 76mm Light Gun tanks. This was a change from the previous Heavy, Medium, and Light tanks, determined from the vehicle's weight. In 1960, with the advent of the new M60 Combat tank, and the deactivation of the Army's only Heavy Tank battalion (the M103 heavy tanks); the M60 series became MAIN BATTLE TANKS (MBT's).
