STUTTGART, Germany — The U.S. Army began unloading tanks and other weaponry in the German port of Bremerhaven Friday, marking the arrival of the first wave of gear that will support the rotation of an armored brigade in Europe.

Over the next several days, the equipment will be offloaded and moved by rail, commercial lines and convoy into staging sites in Poland.

The arrival of the military hardware and troops from the Fort Carson-based 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division marks the start of the first full-time presence of a tank brigade in Europe since the last armored units on the Continent were inactivated several years ago.

Just need another dozen or so BCTs and the supporting brigades, and it will be about right.

    I this in response to Russia or the islams or both?
    So, where is the un in supporting this?
    Another cold war or a limited hot one coming to a country near you?
    And I can not believe that oshitforbrains would do a maneuver like this to stop or slow down islam.

    Almost as foolish to send tanks/troops to Europe as it is to send them to Afghanistan. Neither is in America’s National Security Interest.
