Speaking as a former Task force S4, I was thrilled when told to leave behind equipment in Iraq. Made my life easier. Anyone who has gone through those navy customs inspections when you leave country would undoubtedly agree with me.

Not to mention how much lost/stolen/mislaid/ gear will be able to be marked down as left behind, saving years’ worth of investigation.

It used to be that such gear would be “added” to the load of a crashed helo etc. Now it can just be marked “Left in Iraq.”

while I agree that it would be silly to ship the stuff home... you would think it would of been smart to just drive the stuff a few miles across the border into where they will be based now in Afghanistan.

large, portable concrete walls and barriers

Portable??? They make it sound like you can just toss them in the back of your little Toyota PU and move on.

Hahaha.

Generators and black water tanks. Ah, the sights, sounds and smells of Iraq.
