It's normal to see the occasional military convoys on interstate 81 in NY. Today however, I passed vehicles headed north around 8 am. Later that afternoon around 1 pm, there we still many, many vehicles headed north. The 10th Mountain Division is located at Fort Drum which is the only base in the direction they were headed. Any upstate NY pedes notice this today? I know we've seen these in different parts of the country over the last several months, but I've personally never seen one that went on so long with so many tanks, and other heavy vehicles being moved. Troops with guns sat on the back of some of these vehicles too. Thoughts?

Remember Wormtongue's expression from the balcony on the Tower of Orthanc when he first beholds the awesome army of Uruk-hai that Sauruman has built? And a tear comes down his eye because he is so overwhelmed? I kinda just had that feeling. Hoping the convoy was for the good guys.
Oh shi-....Red 4?
Good eye
I am about 5 minutes from a National Guard base in Upstate New York, near Albany. Been in this house 5 years, and never saw anything close to the convoy that left there about a week ago. I just had a feeling something was coming.
Did you catch a bumper stencil? 10-1 it's the 42nd ID sending their equipment up to the maintenance shop at Drum so it's all ready for Annual Training in July/August.
Chinese at border? Just throwin it out there.

Interesting...
Yesterday afternoon there were 5 huge military planes that flew over Mass - the kind with propellers- not sure where they were going but I said a quick prayer hoping it’s the good guys at work!
Sounds to me like the military is mobilizing/ getting into position for something big?
I wonder how often they'd truck heavy armor up to Drum for training, I don't think the 10th has heavy armor. Tracked tanks or wheeled Strykers?
Theres a storage depot nearby.
School is out now, the beginning of annual training season for the reserves
Most interesting... I hope this leads to taking NYC back from the left and arresting the Clintons?
I work just off 81 ben seeing a bunch of military convoys for the last 2 weeks some were towing what appeared to be artillery
I travel 81 all the time...that's definitely highly increased presence.
Its road move season. You can turn right to get to plattsburgh too I wouldnt read too much into a normal event.
Do the military vehicles have UN painted on them?
