IDAHO WILDFIRES 16 AUGUST 2012: MAFFS C-130s RETURN TO POCATELLO AIRPORT
MAFFS 2 & 6: USAF RESERVE & NATIONAL GUARD C-130 WATER BOMBERS @ POCATELLO AIRPORT
Some of my other C-130 trips (click pics to make bigger):
“C-130 rolling down the strip!
Airborne Ranger gonna take a little trip!
We gonna stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door!
We gonna jump right out, and then count to four!
My main don’t open, I use my reserve!
My reserve don’t open, I loose my nerve!”-U.S. Army running cadence I used to sing during Army Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood in 1982
Indiana Air National Guard’s 122 Fighter Wing deploys A-10 Thunderbolt 2s to Slovakia. No, those are not ‘warthog’ art painted on their noses, they’re supposed to be snakes. And there’s some vid of Slovakian MiG-29s.

During the Second World War the Germans used several types of small robot kamikaze tanks to blow up enemy fortifications.
In Hawaii, the U.S. Army is testing advanced versions of similar robot tanks during the Tiger Balm Command Post Exercise. But instead of being used as bombs they’re being used for more practical things like heavy machine gun carriers. By the way, the program is officially called PACMAN-1.
And any garage mechanic/R-C hobbyist could build one in their own home! Is that why Australia declared R-C toys to be weapons of terror in 2014?

“Once we were assigned the mission, we were all over it!”-Lieutenant Colonel Jim Harper, 116th CBCT
The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (CBCT) currently offloading hundreds of armored vehicles, and performing other logistical ops in the former Warsaw Pact country of Romania (Rumania): “The biggest challenge I faced was trying to find the right contact for our operation. Working stateside to move a unit overseas can be a challenge, but once we identified the right contacts they were extremely helpful. We loaded the equipment staged in Montana onto railroad cars on April 23, and the equipment in Idaho on May 9. Upon the vessel’s arrival in Constanta on 20 June we put into effect 24-hour operations with 52 soldiers. Those soldiers were responsible for offloading all tracked vehicles, staging and preparing equipment for onward movement by rail or line haul. We were able to offload the vessel within 36 hours which came as a surprise, as often the vessel offload is completed in 72 hours.”-CWO2 Steven Howell, 116th CBCT
It’s part of preparations for U.S. led NATO’s (and the Orwellian titled Partnerships for Peace alliance) 2016 Saber Guardian wargames, right near the border with Ukraine.
U.S. Army video by Specialist Devone Collins, 116th Cav M88A2 Hercules arriving in Cincu, Romania, 05JUL2016 (apparently to fix a broke M113):
The 116th Cav (aka Snake River Brigade) is made up of National Guard personnel mainly from Idaho, Oregon, Montana. Personnel from South Carolina’s National Guard also taking part in this year’s Saber Guardian, which begins on 27 July and ends on 07 August. It’s being hosted by the Romanian Land Force Combat Training Center in Cincu.
