Good idea, but it would take some significant relocation of resources. I’m at Fort Bliss now, right on the border at El Paso. Juarez is really big and right there on the border. I’m not sure where the heaviest crossing areas are—maybe AZ? That’s a haul for a DIVARTY unit, even a BCT. Certainly not impossible, but it would take a minute and cost a pretty penny.
I was a support weeny in an arty bn (5/10 2MarDiv) way back when.
Traveling is half the training required for arty. Lord knows we lost enough trucks to breakdowns along the way from Swamp Lagoon to Ft. Bragg when moving for a shoot.
Only way to know the transport works is to work the transport.
Also reminds me of a Team Spirit ex in Korea way back when too. There was a Radio Bn trailer at an airport in Japan. It was to be transported to Korea. Only one tractor capable of moving the trailer.
They could load the trailer in Japan but then wouldn’t be able to unload it in Korea. Or they could unload it in Korea, but not load it in Japan.
But, we did finally get our C130 full of cold weather gear for that ex. (we’d just shipped in from the Philippines on ex and were traveling light). Unfortunately, it was a load of compressed sponges rather than the cold weather gear.
Gotta beta test the transport and log plans. There’s *always* bugs to be worked out.
