Canon Germany to RDF tank transfer
Just posted this on another thread but figured this deserves its own thread
If you look at the US vehicle guide versus the RDF guide you can see that tanks and helos must have been transferred from Germany to the RDF during the Omega evac - and since Omega said no tanks or heavy vehicles were loaded it proves a seperate evac Here are the numbers 24th Mech July 1, 2000 - 2000 men, 9 M1A2 Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 18 AFV 101st July 1, 2000 - 4000 men 4 AH-64 Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 4 AH-64, 12 UH-60 9th ID July 1, 2000 - 1500 men, 12 LAV-75 Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men, 16 AFV 82nd July 1, 2000 -3000 men, 7 AFV Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men 12 AFV 6th ACCB July 1, 2000 - 600 men 12 AH-64 Jan 1, 2001 - 1100 men, 6 OH-58, 12 AH-64 1st Marine July 1, 2000 - 3000 men, 6 M1 Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men 16 AFV 3rd Marine July 1, 2000 - 4000 men 5 M1 Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 12 AFV Add up the difference and what do you get 4000 men 35 AFV's 12 UH-60 helos 6 OH-58 helos meaning 2000 men havent been accounted for yet in the formations or they took losses in men and AFV's between June and Jan and they were made up So that makes a possible 3rd Armored Division transfer even more likely along with possibly the other 1000 men being assigned with the 18 helos they had 5000 men and 54 AFV after all and that definitely would give the RDF the reinforcements seen above and the remaining 2000 men and AFV's may not have arrived yet - its says the first of 6000 reinforcements arrived in Dec of 2000 - it doesnt say that they had all arrived And dont say it was repaired tanks - they only had 39 in the whole theater in June and suddenly another 35 show up from repairs with no spare parts and no shipments from the US? The only convoy that arrived in the time period per canon was from Europe per canon So that proves that there was a canon evac of tanks and helos from Europe (and most likely artillery and other heavy weapons) that had nothing to do with the Omega evac |
