In the last week 8be seen 2 large trains full of military equipment heading towards the south west. They had several MI Abrams, Bradley fighting vehicles, apc's, and several supporters trucks etc. I don't know if they are heading to a port or heading to be moth balled somewhere. They were both large trains with lots of vehicles.
Maybe they are going to Syria to pick up where Obama and Hillary left off trying to get the pipeline through there so they can get paid.
Is this a mobilization or just standard protocol?

Biden's probably having all that equipment turned over to the Mexican Drug Cartels.

Likely someone headed to a rotation at NTC. That was my first thought. I have done that load out before. It's a lot of work.

Being the premier training center they donβt even have a railhead. All equipment is delivered to the railhead at yermo annex.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Military hardware has to be shipped by sea and the largest port for said equipment is the Port of Port Arthur/Beaumont, Texas. There is nothing coming in or out of that nature recently. There is nothing about the above statement that is correct, except that Port Arthur hasn't had many military shipments recently... that MIGHT be correct.

Lol...you do realize Beaumont/Port Arthur are considered a single port for said purposes, right?

Spent a lot of time at Irwin. Jumped in from Ft. Lewis. Moving our unit back then logistically was not as tough as other units. We only had two vehicles! We were training there during the Iranian hostage crisis.

I had a similar dilemma, the one EDRE we jumped into a DZ full of OPFOR gunjeeps! As soon as I hit the ground, I came to the kneeling position after releasing one of my risers, dropped trousers , cut my jock strap off( wore one to alleviate my package getting squashed by T10 harness) pissed like a race horse with two gunjeeps bearing down on me. I lay flat on my back with my cammies around my ankles and my M-60 still in the weapon's case! I can't believe I did not get captured!

RO-RO ships contracted from the Department of Transportation move most of the heavy stuff. Obviously, the Army has the vast majority of the heavy ground equipment.
