They can’t have more than a 1/4 tank of fuel, and batteries do die. That said, few things can beat a tanker with a gas can and jumper cables! Look out enemies of the US!

Once we landed a million troops and thousands of tanks on a hostile beachhead. 70 years later we fail at a small expedition.

So they were shipped weeks ago like this? That’s sad. Time for a change in running the military.

Many years ago we quit doing REFORGER, now we forgot how to send tanks to Germany.

Kind of hard to deter anybody with a dead battery, just sayin’

Is it possible they are intentionally shipped like this to reduce fire risk in transit, and field maintenance is expected before they are battle ready, and this is so much FAKE NEWS?!?!?

Most likely sent with uncharged batteries in order to make sure there were no fires.

Just jump them and move them out.

Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the commander of U.S. Army Europe, revealed that some of the tanks arrived in the port city of Bremerhaven, Germany, with dead batteries as a result of a mistake by the contractor. Some of the tanks also did not have full fuel.

Sounds like the contractor failed to meet the scope of work, which means they shouldn't be paid for services not rendered. Whoever the G-4s are need to consider a career change, for not conducting oversight on two pretty basic components for shipping/receiving a major end item.

Maybe they should have ordered some of those portable jump starters from HSN or QVC.. real cheap... not sure if they’d turn a tank engine over tho.. or they could have had them converted to solar.. Damn that Obammy.. squandered all that stimulus and sequestered the rest..

Yeah, but the logistical planners were very diverse!

That would be a logistics issue, something like a Colonel directing supplies, in charge of batteries and fuel, along with everything from bunks to toilet paper.

What sort of “mistake” results in a dead battery. What, did they leave the lights on?

Why is a contractor involved?
