The economic asspect is long gone. Heavy forces aren't deployable as rapid response forces. The only way that works is to preposition the heavy equipment where you expect to need it and bring in the troops. And you can bring in the troops from their home station.

PS Welcome home Doug, how was Finland?
- binder001Dontos,
Your earlier post mentioned "Life of the Soldier" as being on 5/26-27. This seems to be last year's dates. Have they announced the dates for 2008 yet? Any word on the scenario and what might be running that day?
Thanks, Gary
