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?

Saw a bunch of armored vehicles (not M2s or Abrams, just a lot of things that looked like Strykers and support type vehicles) heading west through Bozeman about a week ago. These weren't on trains, though, they were being driven on I 90, either under their own power or on lowboys.

Have you guys not been watching the news? The Afghan military just lost all the equipment we have given them. Obviously we need to send them more.

Maybe staging some gear for AZ fallout. I'm trying to start a new conspiracy theory.

Probably Headed to NTC. About that time for the Iron bde out of carson to do their annual rotation.
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.

Likely someone headed to a rotation at NTC. Yeah, likely this. In early 89, my Brigade of the 9th ID did Ft Irwin/NTC. Just one Brigade of a motorized infantry division loaded at least 3 trains moving from Ft Lewis to Ft Irwin. That was just the TO&E with the advanced party. We soldiers flew down with our gear and rifles a couple days later from McCord AFB and then unloaded our vehicles & such off the trains. I was never anything but a one term E/4, just a mechanic/grunt, but I read something somewhere that has always stuck with me regarding military leaders. Amateurs study tactics. The great leaders study logistics. After seeing the stuff a single Brigade had to transport and what all was involved, I think it’s a pretty accurate statement. 7mm

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.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Logistics? Oh yep. When I was in ROTC (I 4Fed in the end, broke my heart) I figured with my glasses, I could still make a dent either in the quartermasters or transportation specialties. Tactics win battles, logistics wins wars.

Napoleon, Grant and few others have been credited with, “Tactics are for amateurs, logistics are for professionals.” Know idea who really came up with it but logistics do win and lose wars.

Pretty standard to move military equipment by train. Many units send several train loads of equipment to Ft Irwin for NTC and then ship them right back once the training is complete. I'm sure units ship large amounts for other training as well.
Ft Irwin might have been a neat place to do some exploring, but not in August. Was not one of the highlights of the places I've seen.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
