The Sherman tank seen in the film came from the Ropkey Armor Museum in Crawfordsville, Indiana, USA and is owned by Dave Ropkey - both Ropkey and the museum are billed in the final credits.
The Posse Comitatus Act mentioned in the movie is a real life American statute first assented in 1878. The act was passed to stop local, state and civil authorities from utilizing the military for law enforcement. It doesn't stop this from happening, but the authority to do so must come from the United States Constitution or Act of Congress, and usually comes from the direction of the president.
The type of army tank that US Army Command Sergeant Major Zack Carey (James Garner') owned was a World War II era Sherman Tank, aka an M4 Sherman Tank. Previously known as the M4 Medium Tank, the tank is a medium tank, and was named after Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. Around 50,000 of them were manufactured, most of them around World War II. The tank was designed in 1940 and first produced in 1941.
Actors James Garner and James Cromwell would later co-star in Clint Eastwood's Space Cowboys (2000) around sixteen years later. In that film, Cromwell was Garner's superior.
"Sheriff Buelton: They're gonna lose, General. They're goin' down in flames and you're gonna help me do it. I just got back from the governor's office, and I can have him call you or he can call your superior if that's the way you want it. But, either way, I'm gonna see some tanks rollin' out here to stop that maniac. Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: Go ahead, call anyone you like, sheriff. I don't take orders from governors. Sergeant Major Carey's resigned. Besides, he's committed no major crime in my jurisdiction. Sheriff Buelton: He stole a god damn tank! Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: It's his tank he can do what he wants with it! The most I've got him on is busting a twenty foot section of fence. Sheriff Buelton: General, I am the local civilian authority and I am hereby making a formal request of the military to do everything in its power to assist and aid me in apprehending known... Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: Posse Comitatus, sir. Sheriff Buelton: Did you call me a pussy communist? Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: The U.S. Army is, by an act of congress; Posse Comitatus act, specifically precluded from enforcing civilian law outside the military reservation. Sheriff Buelton: Pussy communist? Maj. Gen. V.E. Hubik: That means I do not have the authority to provide you with a single piece of military equipment or personnel without a direct order from my superior or the President of the United States. I can give you his address, if you'd like."
