Have seen US logistics working in Europe fast and accurate. Lots of respect!

It's really the briefest of looks at just an infinitesimal amount of the machines, tools, weaponry and mobilization that make up a modern military. Truly amazing.

In terms of logistics the US (mainly) and the other english-native speaking nations are unmatched. Its also what neither the Russians nor the Chinese will ever learn to do properly and fully. Full respect, thanks for the service and much love from our humble NATO ally - Bulgaria

If there's one thing the US military is good at, it's logistics. Can move an entire army in a couple of months.

Remember America’s military has equipment stored all over the world in their Allied countries

Australia's railways are abysmal - we cant even move a few tanks from one end of the country to the next because we have different railway guages we have to stop and transfer the tanks onto different trains all the time - then there's the problem with hundreds of bridges and tunnels which aren't high or wide enough to fit a tank or the railway lines are too close together You would think that an advanced nation like Australia would gradually sort out these problems but no due to poor planning and abysmal government we struggle through

"It takes trillions to move billions "

The main gun over the rear deck is because of where the gun lock is. It tied down encase it should come loose be it from an accident or jumping out of the lock. You should ask someone who has done it before.

This is a yearly military exercise to see how fast they can move a battalion or two across the U. S. Been there, seen it, read the military messages about it. This has been happening since the 1950's

[Rocket-Fest]

over 11, 000 tons of steel in one haul is some effort

[lathamarea]

Is it true military training always have preference over freight via rail..?

[annoyingbstard]

What do they all do if they can’t find a war?
