From earlier in February. I don't think the Russian move caught us by surprise.

Its just a battalion set of prepositioned equipment.
A battalion in Europe is as token a token force can be.

The M-1’s are being returned only for units visiting Germany to train on at Graf and Vilseck. they are NOT going to be used to equip the two remaining brigades, one airborne and the other, at Graf which has Stryker infantry fighting vehicles (i.e. armored cars). Sorry I’m an old cav guy who had M-60A2s, M-60A3s, M-113s and ITVs. And M-109A2s as artillery support.

Indeed sir. When the field music arrives, that’s when it’s serious.

The current american tank force are not “TIGERS” they are “PUSSYS”..

Those “armored cars” can do a lot more damage to a heavy unit than you think. While I’d rather be backed up by MBTs, you could do a lot worse than the Strykers.

The Europeans still haven't forgiven us for saving them from the Soviets.
Let Russia have it.

Not so much as Tac 3, Tac 5, Pap South FO points after I became a recon Sgt/FO. And also did it off of an M-60A2 experimenting with the FIST concept. Because I FO’ed off a tank I went to 2 years of gunnery at Graf and maneuvers at Hohenfels. plus Wild Chicken thrown in.
