Publicly Known Members
A few members of the Tank Corps have proven their abilities to the citizens of Dogeland and gained popularity or a reputation. Among them are pyth26, the former leader of the Tank Corps. Pyth was a renowned member of the Army until he went missing in action when he was transferred to the Pacific to help Dogeland's allies. After months without contact, the Vice Commander was found and returned the Dogelin. "Old Ironsides" ironman1039018 was another exceptional tanker, being skilled with a gun and always coming out on top even during incredible odds. Unfortunately, during the first few days of the assaults near the Volga, a shell struck the engine of Iron's Tiger I and he was burned to death inside the tank. The loss of his eldest son was devastating to the Commander. Doge_Stryfe, formerly known as killegun, was an experienced tank commander during the early days in the Realm, until he was discharged and sent to Dogelin due to his alcoholism. The Commander, "The Desert Doge" Markus_Baumann, is known throughout Dogeland and the Army due to his understanding and compassion to the members of the Army, his abilities within a tank, and his impeccable fashion sense. You will find Markus on the front lines with his troops, fighting right beside them. Other distinguished members of the Tank Corps have also proven their worth, such as OwnrageII, Soldierdude500, B2_82, and "The Black Baron" Vrikkez.

The 401st Mechanized Leaderguard Division
The 401st was a branch of the Tank Corps made up of members of the 1st Leaderguard Division. Under the command of DogerichI and Markus_Baumann, the 401st saw action during the battles of Mechili and primarily the defenses of Dogelin. Serving as protectors of DogeusII, who frequented the Tank Corps Tiger I, the 401st assisted the infantry and fellow tankers on the front. The branch was disbanded later by DogeusII to save resources and redirect the Leaderguard to Dogelin.
