They don't look Russian to me.
During the Cold War, V Corps had responsibility for preventing the Soviets from going though the Fulda Gap. If there was a spot where World War III would go nuclear that is where it would be.
Yeah let’s defend the EU from Christian Russia while importing jihadis into our heartland.
Derp
They don't look Russian to me.
Europe should be doing this themselves
bbb….bbbbu….bbb…..bbbbut I thought Putin WANTED Trump to win. I thought they CHEATED to make SURE they’d be dealing with him as POTUS.
Hopefully the President will nip that in the bud. European security should be left to the Europeans.
Does a Lieutenant General get the "honor" of commanding this HQ unit of 635 soldiers?
The Russian military is a shadow of what it was. It couldn’t afford to attack NATO. Generals trying to be relevant. What a joke.
I beleive its now a university
So when did a Corps become 635 soldiers??
V Corp needs a REFORGER to become viable.
Imho.
5.56mm
Geez, Patton’s Third Army ALONE had 4 corps of up to 18 divisions, and that in a nation of 130 million. How far we have fallen that it is a supposed big deal to have about 600 guys re-create the command infrastructure (not the equipment, logistics or trained manpower, mind you, JUST the command infrastructure) for a single corps.
“the latest development in the U.S. military’s push to build up capabilities in Europe in the face of great power competition with Russia.”
The great power competition. The Russian army is 10% of what it was in 1989. They would like NATO not to roll right up to their border, and would like to get shown the slightest amount of national sovereignty from the globalists and that’s about it.
But the new cold war needs cash. It’s retarded to prattle on about Russia as a menace to Europe when the middle east and africa are flooding in. A woman has to be very careful walking down the street in Germany, Sweden is a rapefest and bombs go off daily. In France mass shooting happen, in London stay off the sidewalk so you don’t get plowed down....but yeah, muh, Russia.
Reactivation of V Corps headquarters at Ft. Knox.
The IG Farben Building, aka Abrams Building, is still standing in Frankfurt. It currently serves as the main building of the West End Campus of the University of Frankfurt.
An Army Corp is not a TO&E unit. It can load up with 2 or 3 maneuver Divisions (15000 soldiers each), Combat air units, Artillary (which is nuke capable) and thousands of other support units.
I wonder if the European CP will even be in Germany any more?
Poland has been talking about paying to host some US Military.
Ping me is you want on/off the TREADHEAD ping list.
A huge win for “more” unnecessary government bureaucracy... IMHO...
