The vehicles are those of Fort Hood’s 13th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, which issued a brief statement saying the action “signals a switch in readiness from fighting in arid places like the Middle East to fighting in more verdant regions.”
Verdant as in green, with grass or other rich vegetation. Though the Army didn’t elaborate, that could be islands in the Pacific or forests in Europe. The Marines have recently conducted field training in Norway.

If you plan on leaving things to the enemy when you leave, then paint them as they want!

"The Army is reactivating the 11th Airborne for arctic operations. What’s up with that?" And if that's not spooky enough, that was Rod Serling's division in WWII.
He wore his jump wings on a bracelet for the rest of his life.

Anyone thinking we will send a tank to fight in China needs to reevaluate their process. That’s a navy thing.

Because the enlisted ranks can never have enough to do.
If it moves, salute it.
If it doesn’t move, pick it up.
If you can’t pick it up, paint it.

“They expect the American South to get uppity.”
They better bring more than 49 vehicles...

If they put our Army on our border they could have saved a paint job.

I learned how the military works when I was in Vietnam. If they send you cold weather gear then you are going to be sent to the tropics. Desert gear? Mountains!Navy is the same way. "We're doing a BALTOPS deployment! Bring all the cold weather gear you have! Make sure you bring sweaters and jackets for port calls in Norway. It's gonna be chilly!"
And as soon as we leave Hampton Roads... "Plans changed. We're going back to the Gulf."

Norway is six months of white.
A totally racist place!
Yeah, but there’s lots of black ice.

First ones I seen were green, some green and black. I believe we still had camo hummers in the start of Desert Storm.
