A contractor assigned to support the 405th Army Field Support Brigade ground guides an M1A2 Abrams main battle tank as it is loaded onto a German rail car at Coleman worksite in Mannheim, Germany. The 405th AFSB recently began augmenting its line-haul heavy equipment transporter deliveries of Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 equipment from Coleman to Grafenwoehr Training Area with Deutsche Bahn, or German railway, assets. More than two dozen armored vehicles and equipment pieces – ranging from tanks to Paladin self-propelled howitzers to Bradley fighting vehicles and more – were shipped via rail March 10. This was the first of many rail movements to come over the next few weeks. The APS-2 is being issued to 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division at an Equipment Configuration and Handoff Area. The 1st ABCT is deployed to Germany from Fort Stewart, Georgia. Their deployment supplements the more than 90,000 U.S. personnel already deployed to or based in Europe as part of the United States’ longstanding commitment to European security and close defense partnership with host nations.
