Crouching Stryker, Hidden Soldier

Argghhh!
Heh. Anyone remember REFORGER (REturn of FORces to GERmany)? When we put 200K troops and multiple heavy divisions rollicking across the heart of Germany? I played in REFORGERs 80-84 while in Germany, and 86 and 88 deploying with the 1st Infantry from Fort Riley. Can you imagine what the tin-foilers in this country would do if we tried to mount something like the Louisiana Maneuvers (a proto-REFORGER exercise that took place in the South prior to WWII) now?

Saber Junction 2012, the U.S. Army Europe's premier training event, is a large-scale, joint, multinational, military exercise involving thousands of personnel from 19 different nations and hundreds of military aircraft and vehicles. It is the largest exercise of its kind that U.S. Army Europe has conducted in more than 20 years.
