The US army surplus one near Honey Lake is huge!

Thats amazing! I would think thats close enough to MILGOV HQ to be somewhat controlled...

Another thing to consider is support (fuel, ammo, lubricants). It's one thing to have 100 M1a1 Abrams tanks but quite another to find the necessary fuel and other stuff to even get 10 of them running.
Also the mechanics and other technicians to bring them online and keep them in the field.

That would be the Sierra Army Depot as stated above

Waterlievet is the only barrel manufacturer for alot of heavy guns in the U.S.

Good information there...thanks.

Please note, some are near primary sites, and also during a run-up to war many of those vehicles would have already been deployed (for example, the 2000+ Abrams tanks in CA wouldn't be sitting there).

So I'd lower my expectations quite a bit on what would just be "in storage".

[kalos72]

Agreed for the M1's...but they wouldbe be so quick to try and deploy the Sheridans to a main line unit.

Or even consider the idea noted above...a train on the way to port going through a city that just got nuked...and a dozen shiny new M1A1's sitting on a derailed freight line.

An allternative to the derailed train would be a ship sitting docked and slowly rusting away at some abandoned container port with who knows what sitting in its hold.
