Reply With QuoteBradleys. I counted 99 and twelve fuel bowsers when the video ceased. There were more still on-coming. About two battalion sets. Probably California Nat'l Guard.
Got sent this video and it seems it is from this month.
Tanks Spotted Today at Watsonville, CA Santa Cruz - YouTube
Is this an entire division being moved? Notice that they're not desert camo either.
Is the US getting ready to invade Canada?

I believe they are Bradley IFV's - the gun would be a 25mm chain gun and is probably installed but not clearly visible?Originally Posted by Doktor
Is it usual to transport the tanks without the turrets? I sense there is enough distance between the tanks for the tubes

I self deleted the post after looking again to the vid

I found the line " it's not ending " amusing
99 bradley alone without the rail platforms weigh around 2700 tones.

J'ai en marre.
I knwo from experience that tanks are usually trasported with their turrets facing backwards. Not sure however if the US army does the same with it's Bradley's.
The one you see is a decoy.
Bradlys are transported turret facing forwards but with the barrel of the 25mm removed and stowed internally.

It could be any of several units...81st HBCT out of WA ARNG (CA ARNG has IBCTs), it could be stocks rolling out of FT LEwis depot or Yakima for movement to FT Irwin to upgrade the draw fleet or it could be BFV Warhammers which just came our of the BAE plant for upgrade in San Jose and heading anywhere.
What ArtyEngineer said about the 25mm gun barrel.
Also it looked to be many with large plastic sheets taped to side of vehicles. These could be shipping documentation which leads me to believe that they are rebuilds rather than unit equipment.

Typically, if they're not in desert camo, and they're in the US, they're National Guard; you see that alot with their HUMVEE's, too. The only other armor that would have the woodland pattern is EUSA and USAREUR.
