Product Description

From September 30 to November 22, 1974, the U.S. military conducted its sixth Reforger exercise.
In addition to this unit deployment training, a field training exercise (FTX) called "Sartain Pledge" was conducted in parallel under the command of the U.S. Army's 7th Corps, headquartered in Stuttgart.
The exercise involves troops from the United States, Canada, and West Germany.
Based on the scenario of previous Reforger exercises, Reforger VI also involved training an expansion of U.S. ground forces stationed in Germany and within NATO.
Sartain Pledge was a large-scale corps-level field exercise involving 28 combat battalions and 17 artillery battalions, mobilizing approximately 45,000 troops, 8,000 wheeled vehicles, 4,000 tracked vehicles, and approximately 250 helicopters.
Participating forces included the Canadian Army's 4th Mechanized Brigade Group and the only large German Bundeswehr unit, the 30th Tank Brigade, based in Ellwangen.
This book contains many previously unpublished valuable photographs, providing a detailed look at the brave vehicles deployed in the exercises and the training process.
Featured are the M551 Sheridan airborne tank, M60 Patton main battle tank, M113A1 armored personnel carrier equipped with BGM-71 TOW, M577A1 command post, M109A1 self-propelled howitzer, and the German Bundeswehr's 178D15A truck equipped with a LARS 110mm rocket launcher.
It also includes color photographs of rare camouflage paint schemes from that time.
