re: #351 Outrider

California for you. Back in the mid 80s, we had an exercise in Texas that encompassed the entire state. III Corps went to the outer reaches on all four sides for a playing field and the civilians loved it.

There were convoys out on the far back roads as well as interstates. Many ranchers made land available for armor and mechanized operations. Choppers and aircraft were all over the skies.

well, one weekend we were going south to Camp Pendleton and some wise acre wrote “Next stop Nicaragua” on the last truck in the convoy……

everyone was wondering why we were getting all the strange looks. %-)
