It's obvious that train hasn't stopped anywhere, there's no graffiti on it.

Saw one passing 190 on Tuesday near Port Allen. Wonder if it is the same train.

Every once in a while, someone will try to say it is illegal to take photos of military trains.


These are most likely the same people that think that to take pictures of people in public you need their consent.

Organization of units has always confused me. I'd say it's part of a battalion but the train itself isn't moving as one cohesive units. It's probably mixed pieces of multiple battalions


It goes like this

Section: your tank and your wingman
Platoon: two sections (4 tanks)
Company: 3 or 4 platoons plus CO & XO tanks
Battalion: 4 companies plus CO & XO
Brigade: 1 or 2 armored battalions plus infantry battallion(s) depending on if it's a heavy or light brigade.
Division: 3 Brigades plus 1 or 2 artillery battalion. The make up of the brigades varies depending on if it's an infantry, cav, or airborne division.
Corps: usually 2 - 4 (can vary) divisions plus artillery brigade
Army: usually 2 or more corps
Army group: usually 2 or more armies.

No problem. Just remember that brigades are made up of battalions. Bitallions are made up of companies. And companies are made up of platoons.

But if you're talking Cavalry everything changes. Instead of brigades, its a regiment. Instead of battalions, its squadrons, instead of companies, its Troops.

For example you'd say A troop, 1St Squadron 11th Armored Cavalry regiment. Or Alpha 1/11 Cav for short.
