More than likely a unit going to either NTC at Fort Irwin, CA or JRTC at Fort Polk, LA.
I've never seen that much armor at a JRTC rotation. The focus is more on light infantry, NTC is for armor.

Yeah. Crazy-@ss loons. We have nothing to fear from the freedom loving Patriots in our national security apparatus.
Yes, thinking that military equipment moving around on trains is some nefarious plot to occupy the United states you are a "crazy arse loon"

I see those coming through Shreveport occasionally. Probably on the way to Fort Polk.

Yeah it's not that odd. NTC hosts multiple units each year.

And even though NTC is for Armor, units don't bring many of their own heavy armor...they might bring a little bit, and they bring a lot of their own trucks and Hummers, but most all of the heavy equipment they use is already permanently housed at Ft. Irwin (NTC site).

And at this late stage, thinking that our nation’s wholly corrupted national security apparatus does not pose an existential threat to continued Liberty in this nation makes you a fool or a tool. Which are you?

I guess the correct answer is most Americans with a brain doesn't trust anything the federal government does nowadays, with good reason.

^This. Heavy units routinely railhead their vehicles. I noticed 3rd Infantry Division on some of the boxes. They’re most likely heading too or from NTC.

This.
I always chuckle when people get conspiratorial about rail headed military equipment moving around. Units are constantly running through training rotations at NTC and JRTC.
Yes, exactly.

They're marching to Texas.

Just some old equipment on it's way to the NIH to help with their new vaccine mandate program.
