Rhino 1

Rhino 1 is the call sign of an American M1A2 Abrams Tank operated by the U.S. Army in the mission "Goalpost" during the events of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

Fight through Hamburg
For most of the fight to save the U.S. Vice President in Hamburg, Rhino 1 leads the armored charge. When the American forces hit the beach, Rhino 1 deploys smoke to cover Delta team's advance. Sandman tells the commander that the infantry will move to the right of the tank and clear the area. Along with its wingman, Rhino 2, Rhino 1 destroys many Russian T90 tanks and eliminates enemy infantry as they move up a street into Hamburg. As the American soldiers enter a parking garage, Rhino 2 falls through three floors, seperating the two tanks. Rhino 1 continues through the garage. Meanwhile, Frost, Sandman and Rhino 2's tank crew fight their way up onto a street, where they are engaged by a Russian T90 tank. In an act of desperation, the gunner of Rhino 2 cries out, '"Rhino 1, where'' the hell are you!?". ''At that percise moment, Rhino 1 comes crashing through a wall and targets the Russian tank. The T90 attempts to turn its turret towards the American tank, but Rhino 1 is quicker on the draw and destroys the T90, saving the American forces. The commander of Rhino 1 remarks, "Threat neutralized, we're moving up." Supported by the infantry, Rhino 1 rolls up the street, engaging Russian infantry. However, Rhino 1 is eventually barraged by mortars and destroyed. The remainder of the American Forces retreat into the shelter of a nearby building.

Trivia

 * The appearence of the tank commander who mans the mounted minigun is randomly generated.
 * After Rhino 1 destroys the T90 on the final street, the player can jump onto the hull.  Rhino 1 stops, but the player can "drive" the tank by moving forwards.  When he does that, Rhino 1 will roll forwards.  This will last until Rhino 1 is destroyed.
 * Before the tank is destroyed by mortars, the commander can be seen ducking down inside the hatch, avoiding the blast.  If the player looks at the knocked-out tank, both hatches are open, making it possible that the tank commander and maybe some of the crewmen survived the battle and ran for the rear after Rhino 1 was destroyed.
 * During the level, the player can climb onto Rhino 1 by jumping onto boxes.
 * The commander of Rhino 1 is in direct radio communication with Sandman, the leader of Delta Force, and usually rides in the lead of the column, making it possible that the commander of Rhino 1 is the leader of the tank unit.
