Ummmm this doesn't look too promising. I wonder if the person that uploaded the video did the reverse dash marks with note to 9/11

Fort Hunter Ligget is south of Santa Cruz, Ca. I am guessing you are talking Ca.

The fort is primarily used as a training facility, where activities such as field maneuvers and live fire exercises are performed.

If we all pitched in (gsus), we might be able to afford one tank...

You are more powerful than a tank. ;)

In an urban environment, tanks are sitting ducks,
they need infantry to defend them.

The militarized po lice are also sitting ducks,
if anything for real were to happen, their APC's
wouldn't stand a chance if there was shooting,
and just one tactician on scene with the right
rifle of which there is plenty of out there.

GoD, why do I think you found this info off GLP?

This stuff is routine and probably not a big deal.

Those are Bradley Armored Personnel Carriers, not tanks. You don't see that many of them on the move every day but it isn't that special. Combat Brigades have been moved hither and yon between US bases on a number of occasions.

[BrewTech]

As daunting as that seems, I agree it probably doesn't mean much. Living near Camp Pendleton, I see a lot of equipment being moved around. They have to burn up more than 700 billion so they can get their budget raised again. Plus, the sight of all those Bradleys likely helps to keep the sheep in line.

I guess I'll have to attend the Bradley Armored Personnel Carrier drivers ed. school then... ::)

I kinda doubt its going to Hunter Liggett they got lots of stuff over there, the only rails run 50 miles to the east anyhow, I would say its going further south, not much going on at Camp Roberts either, Its coming your way General. lol

[Spectrism]

A movelike that means nothing. In my unit we did that at least once per year to do gunnery training and drove to training sites. It could be a gunnery or a wargames transport. These probably happen alot... night time when people don't see them. Also, there was no extraneous gear visible. All vehicles could have been new for a fitout. If it were a combat move, there would likely be more stuff strapped down outside.

Pedal to the Metal !

That equipment reminds me of what used to be FMC. they've been bought & re-sold a few times. i got a tour of their factory when it was FMC.

they used to make tanks, personnel carriers, etc. that train looks like it's moving 6 months' production. from the manufacturer to an army base, from one army base to another, maybe from an Army base to a Marine base.

not saying it's no big deal. maybe it is a big deal.

i know nothing !

Pretty much anything larger than 7.62 x 39 will penetrate APC armor. They're rated to stop up to 7.62 x 39 So if you happen to have a .308 rifle handy it'll go through an APC like Swiss cheese.

.45-70 good to go? ;D

[TomD]

Here's closeup of a Bradley in Iraq in 2004. You'll notice the reactive armor to resist RPG's bolted all around plus they had been significantly hardened by then. It really wouldn't be a good career move to take one of these on with an AK (or a 45-70).

...you beat me to it, I was gonna say, those certainly aren't "tanks", the US uses the M1A1 Abrams...it's a Beast compared to these bradleys....but taking a bradley on with a 7.62 or AK would be Foolish at best; the 25mm chain gun would chew you up fast....

Psyops....

They run these bigass trains out in the open, probably their own guys posted the video. The people post all kinds of scarey shit in the comments; and Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Mexico and other countries see that we are moving huge amounts of firepower around. The comments are then played on Yewtubes that show both citizens are afraid, and military types saying "this goes on all the time, it's no big deal" which reinforces the fear to the "enemy" that we are so well stocked we move shit like this around all the time, don't be afraid. So how many more could there be? Is the U.S. constantly shipping ground assault vehicles from here to there and manufacturing them at this big a rate that its a constant thing? And the sheeples that are afraid builds up the fear that maybe the U.S. is gearing up. The wrong color (fresh looking) camo job just inserts more uncertainty as the "normal" ME paint job is desert camo. What the hell is the U.S. so prepared for?

The other .gov's see this as a sign that we are rapidly building up ground force equipment and that it is not necessarily for desert usage. It's a propaganda piece, and it has been well implemented.

Peace

No conspiracy. No psy-ops. It looks like a simple training transport. Units are railed to a training site. Happens all the time. The morons broadcasting this as some dark government secret with ill-intentions are just making fools of the panickers. Until there is something substancial, just ignore this nonsense.
