Not unless Challenge Magazine put something out. The
NATO Vehicle Guide mentions the following,
"In the summer of 1998, the 10th spearheaded the NATO drive into Austria to clear out the Pact units there. Although the offensive was not successful in clearing Austria, the 10th performed well. Many former Austrian soldiers found a home in the 10th, and it has remained in Austria as part of the IV German Corps."
There's no doubt that Soviet, Pact, & possibly Italian units are still in place on Austrian soil as of summer 2000 but I've never come across mention of specific units. I do not, however, have access to the 2TK Challenge articles. Anyone?
