In 2006 one of the first actions of the newly appointed Supreme Allied Commander Ken “Psycho” Moore and his staff
at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) was the creation of a dedicated allied tank destroyer
unit. That unit is the 899th Tank Destroyer Battalion – the “Black Cats”.
Our mission is simple -- to engage and destroy the most powerful and one of the best units in the German Army – the
21st Panzer. In addition we are charged with attacking and destroying all German vehicles on the field -- planes,
supply truck, command cars, and also German bunkers. We are to face and overcome the best the German Army
has to offer and we do just that!
In our debut year of 2007, the 899th exceeded all expectations and received high praise from both Allied and German
commanders. In 2007 the Black Cats were runner up for Most Valuable Unit and a member of the 899th was selected
as Most Valuable player for the Allied team. 2008 is the year we did even more!
Though our mission is simple -- our need for players is not. We must have a player of a caliber unlike any other unit
at OK D-day. Cats are a mix of you must be an attacker, a defender, a thinker, a hunter, a builder, and most
important a team player. Now add to that mix the courage to run in to the face of a paint ball armored vehicle when
everyone else is running away.
Are you that player? Can you think, move, charge, endure, and finally overcome? Do you play with honor, humility,
and determination? If so then there is only one place in the entire Allied army for you and that is as a member of the
899th Tank Destroyer Battalion.
Being a tank destroyer is more than firing an A/T weapon and we have a need for all kinds of players from Builders
and Designers, Snipers, SAW gunners, A/T gunners, Spotters, Assault Specialist, and Fire Support players --in the
899th we do it all and more. If you are part of a team we have room for teams and will make sure the team stays
together.
But one thing all players regardless of role in the 899th will have in common is they will be part of OK D-day history in
the making and will be known as “Better than the Best”.
