Germany: Traffic chaos due to US military movements

in #germany6 years ago

The US Army Europe has informed the German federal states about a massive movement of heavy military vehicles en route to strategic locations in Eastern Europe and the Baltic States under the banner of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

All in all, 3,300 soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division of Fort Hood, Texas will bring 2,500 pieces of equipment across the Atlantic. The formation will relieve the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division, which will return to Fort Riley in Kansas.


The equipment arrived in Antwerp, Belgium last weekend, where it will be prepared for onward transport within Europe. The military said they saw the operation as a large-scale exercise to emphasize the logistical skills needed in the event of war on the continent.

This means that soldiers will work against the clock to measure how fast such a mission can be done. For some of the equipment, the planners have designed a leg on inland waterways from Antwerp to Mannheim to test additional means of transport alongside road and rail, a US Army Europe spokeswoman told Defense News.

For the rest of the journey to the east, trains are planned in Mannheim.

The entire transport list includes a selection of heavy combat gear, including 87 Abrams tanks, about 140 Bradley combat vehicles, 18 Paladin howitzers, and 395 other tracked vehicles. They travel by train to various locations in the three Baltic States, as well as to Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary.

Because of the 1,000 pieces of transporting military equipment declared US military, the German population must count on the road network of the country with disturbances, even if they are divided into smaller columns. "Military movements can temporarily disrupt road and rail traffic," according to a US Army Europe statement.

To increase the volume of traffic, a simultaneous deployment of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment from the Bavarian town of Vilseck is added to participate in the exercise Saber Strike in Poland and the Baltic States from 3 to 15 June. The United States will contribute 12,500 soldiers from a total of 18,000 participants to this exercise.

As soon as the new equipment for Operation Atlantic Resolve is ready, the 2nd Armored Brigade will pack up to spend some time in the training ground in Grafenwoehr in Bavaria, before going back north to Germany to disembark via Bremerhaven, according to a spokeswoman.

The operation Atlantic Resolve, which is mainly supported by the Americans, is intended as a demonstration of power near the Russian border with Europe. The initiative dates back to the reunification of Crimea with Russia (falsely annexed by the West) in 2014, leading to fears in Europe that Russia could attempt similar land grabbing from its former Soviet satellites.

We see that the Americans are preparing for war against Russia. In addition, we recognize that the federal states are not asked, we are allowed to transport weapons and soldiers on your territory to the Eastern Front, so war equipment against Russia, but are only informed. The Germans have nothing to say!

Another proof that Germany is a colony of Washington and part of the American occupation zone. What is it called in the Basic Law, this dictum dictated by the Allies and written in the Rothschild Villa in the Taunus?

From German soil, never again can a war go out. But it does it all the time !!!
