Take the tinfoil off. Those were MRAPs, MATVs, LVSs and 900 Series 5 ton cargo trucks. It looked to be about a Battalion’s worth of Motor Transport equipment. There is nothing that says when this train was spotted or where. From the foliage and the fact that this was BNASF train it was likely in Northwestern Az. The Army ships the equipment for visiting units to NTC(National Training Center) north of Barstow Ca by train. The Marine Corps is also holding their qtrly ITX exercise(formerly known as CAX and Mojave Viper) in Twentynine Palms Ca this month also. Though the Marine Corps supplys visiting Marine Units with vehicles they don’t do it for participating Army units. If the vehicles were going to NTC they were likely offloaded in Barstow. If they went to Twentynine Palms they were likely offloaded in Ludlow. These vehicles could also be on their way to the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Barstow for reset after returning from Afghanistan. The Marine Corps is also cutting it’s MRAP and MATV fleet due to weight concerns. MCLB Barstow is also a boneyard for Marine vehicles that have been removed from service.
Absolutely correct! I was going to write a comment along those same lines before I read your very informative correct comment.
My son was driving an MRAP in Afghanistan that was literally blown in two, despite the weight. The front and back halves landed 30 feet apart. They showed us the satellite pics.
You guys are intruding into a meeting of the Idiots Club. They don’t want to hear what you have to say. Someone who knows what they are talking about is not useful to their discussions. The more ignorant they are about things military, the more they are able to conjure up more exciting conspiracy theories.
