Remarks & Notes |
In the late 80s many Army units deployed to Ft. Bliss for exercises. The small Army units were not adequate to switch the large cars so the facility leased some SP "big" units. This one is here to switch cars of the late 194th Armored Brigade, an unusual "independent" Brigade, the largest brigade in the unit. It's flags were furled in the early 90s. |
