Years after the last American MBT left Germany, they are now back. Today the first of some 80 M1 Abrams have unloaded from USS Resolve in the port of Bremerhaven, preparing to relocate much further to the East. They are part of a 4000 men brigade the US is stationing in the Baltic states and Poland in reaction to the increasing security concerns in NATO'S bordering territory to Russia. The troops will rotate every - now I forgot, every 90 days or 9 months. Probably the latter.


Almost feels like back in the 80s.

Well, almost.

P.S. For our American specialists: its the 3rd brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson.
