When I was in, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was a staging area of sorts. My unit was a quick reactionary force that had a sister fleet of tanks mothballed in Germany. If something should happen, hey just sent us by plane. The equipment was already there. It was meant for an attack by the Soviet Union. We  were set to go to the Mideast during the Yom Kippur war, but it was over before we had a chance to go.  I really don't know why we're there now.

That was the threat behind the Cold War - 10,000 Soviet tanks rushing across the border of East and West Germany.....better days.
