1st Battalion of the 148th Field Artillery Regiment, based in Pocatello, Idaho, was in Malaysia for a ten days war game (I mean natural disaster response training) connected to United Nations’ military ops (so called UN Peace Keeping) and led by the U.S. Army-Pacific Command.

The 1-148th Field Artillery Regiment is part of the Idaho Army National Guard’s 116th Calvary Brigade Combat Team (I served both with 1-148 as a 13F in Pocatello, and with 2-116 as a 19K in Burley). The unit has artillery batteries located in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Rigby, Blackfoot, Rexburg, Preston, Saint Anthony and Burley.

According to Wikipedia, Malaysia has a lot of petroleum oil.  The state run oil company Petronas is the 69th largest company in the world and generates 30% of the Malaysian government’s income.  Malaysia also sits in the militarily and economically strategic ocean going trade route called Strait of Malacca, which sees most of the world’s Middle East oil shipments by sea.

U.S. river crossing in Hungary.

Under the guise of defense against Russia, and still claiming there is no Cold War, U.S. led NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has occupied eastern Europe with thousands of troops.  In the official video report NATO leaders try to justify their actions:

 

U.S. led ‘Lightning Operations’ center at the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, Romania.

The U.S. Army also leads an annual NATO war game called Saber Guardian.  This year its focus is in the eastern European countries of Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.

Video report on U.S. Army logistical convoy from Germany to Bulgaria:

1775th Military Police Company, Michigan Army National Guard, preps for convoy ops in eastern Europe. The convoy route runs from Germany to the Black Sea.

Many of the U.S. troops occupying eastern Europe are state militia (National Guard) personnel.   Video report on Ohio National Guard taking part in Saber Guardian river crossing in Hungary:

Another U.S. occupation of eastern Europe operation is called Operation Atlantic Resolve.  This year Romania combined their Open Gates air show with Operation Atlantic Resolve:
