Transporting the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team to Europe: an interview

摘要

In an era where consumers can click a button online and get products in mere days or less, it's easy to ignore the complexity of the system that permits that doorstep delivery. When it comes to the US military, the requirements to move materiel and people halfway around the world get even more complicated.It takes significant effort to move thousands of US Army soldiers and thousands more pieces of equipment-including tanks and other vehicles-from a place like Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Europe. The 4th Infantry Division's 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team recently did just that, arriving at Bremerhaven, Germany, in January and continuing to Poland to participate in US European Command's Operation Atlantic Resolve. The ongoing operation "is a demonstration of continued US commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure NATO allies...in light of the Russian intervention in Ukraine," according to the Army.
