Many years ago we quit doing REFORGER, now we forgot how to send tanks to Germany.

Dead batteries and calling the DAT retriever is an embarrassment.

For a majority of the REFORGER units, only the troops were flown over and they fell in on POMCUS sites and drew full battalion sets of tanks, apcs, artillery, etc. Not that many units did a load out and transoceanic shipment. the POMCUS sites were in Belgium, Holland and Germany, west of the Rhine.
