Just looking for insight because this has been bothering me.
I've seen a lot of images of Humvees and tanks around the US, either being moved around on trains or just sitting in a port. Then of course you have the large amount of military aircraft.
What are they for? The Humvees I can understand being used by NG, but what are the tanks for? Why are B52s flying all over the country?
Insight would be very appreciated. It's kinda freaking me out.
Equipment routinely gets moved around based on forecasted overseas requirements.
Equipment also gets routinely moved around by rail or truck when being ready to be deployed, or when returning from deployment.
Equipment also gets routinely moved around for maintenance and also for upgrades.
We all see the videos of rail cars stacked with tanks or other equipment, but we never see the loading point or offloading point. So its really hard to gauged what its for.
