TANKOGRAD CATALOGUE 2009 WWW.TANKOGRADWWW.TANKOGRAD .COM.COM ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN U.S. MILITARY TACTICAL VEHICLES In the past two decades the modern U.S. Army underwent an enormous and unprecedented transition from a Cold War doctrine towards counter-terrorism assymetrical warfare. Within this transition the vehicle pool of the U.S. Army changed constantly since the NATO mission of defending Central Europe in the late 1980s to the ongoing U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan 2007. This publication grants a full overview over the U.S. tactical vehicle fleet in service during USAREUR days in Europe up to the present Operation Iraqi Freedom, providing a never before published comprehensive survey into the motor pool of the worldʼs leading superpower. 160 pages, full-color print, hardcover, illustrated throughout with 416 color photographs, English text Dieser Titel ist NUR IN ENGLISCH lieferbar! During the Cold War the U.S. Armed Forces were primarily focused on fighting a conventional war in Europe, defending NATO against a possible Warsaw Pact threat. The combat power of the U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) was granted by thousands of main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and artillery pieces. This fleet of combat vehicles was accompanied by an even bigger fleet of trucks in all load classes as well as special purpose vehicles such as engineer machines and logistic systems. In 1989 the Cold War .01 Introduction suddenly came to an end, Germany was reunited and in 1991 the Warsaw Pact was disbanded. As a result .02 Light Tanks and Main Battle Tanks large parts of the U.S. forces based in Germany were withdrawn from Central Europe. NATO and the U.S.A. .03 Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicles and reduced their forces and huge amounts of vehicles were phased out. With the reduction the U.S. Armed Armored Personnel Carriers - Tracked Forces were also restructured. .04 Armored Personnel Carriers - Wheeled World peace, however, was far away and the new geopolitical situation forced the transition of the U.S. vehicle fleet away from NATO doctrine. In 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait and as a result U.S. Armed Forces had .05 Amphibious Vehicles to fight a conventional war for the first time since decades. On September 11, 2001, terrorists launched the .06 Light Trucks attack on the World Trade Center. Shortly after the U.S.A. declared the “War against Terror” and in a first .07 Medium Trucks reaction targeted Al-Qaeda hideouts in Afghanistan. In a next blow the U.S. Armed Forces invaded Iraq and .08 Heavy Trucks crushed the regime of dictator Saddam Hussein in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) in 2003. .09 Engineer Vehicles and Mine Protected Vehicles Already in late 2003 it became obvious that the U.S. Armed Forces vehicle fleet was not suited for dealing .10 Armored Recovery Vehicles, Cranes and with an asymmetrical type of war like the one the army found itself drawn into in Iraq. As a reaction to Material Handling Equipment the rising death toll there, CENTCOM issued an urgent operational requirement for vehicles with armor protection in November 2003. .11 Artillery and Air Defence This encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview to the U.S. tactical military vehicle types and .12 Special Forces and All-Terrain Vehicles families in service during the late USAREUR/NATO Cold War days up to the latest additions to the U.S. .13 Miscellaneous Vehicles Armyʼs fleet of specialised vehicles in Iraq as of 2007. .14 Camouflage and Markings TANKOGRAD CATALOGUE 2009 WWW.TANKOGRAD .COM IDF Armoured Vehicles Tracked Armour of the Modern Israeli Army (IDF) Gepanzerte Kettenfahrzeuge der Modernen Israelischen Armee Die moderne Israelische Armee gilt als eine der effektivsten und am besten ausgestatteten Landstreitmächte
