A mix of Abrahams MBTs & Bradley IFVs.

N.B - they are NOT painted in 'desert tan' - so new/ reserve stock or re-conditioned - they would be painted at base, if required.

As Metalchemist stated, are these heading for 'war-gaming' or training at Fort Irwin FTC (11th Armored Cav) ...or something else.

If the PTB were bothered about clandestine movement of supplies/ equipment, simple wire frames/tarps would disguise the fact.

Seems this is nothing new...

  I think that Britannia will be the sole beneficiary of the U.S. taxpayers' being so lame brained and gullible that they will pay to be shot with ammunition they, themselves bought. Napolitano and Pistole are frustrated, if you know what I mean, and that they want to shoot everybody with a .357 hollow-point bullet, or go out in a sick blaze of glory emptying an M-16 loaded with hollow points into grandma, and then  falling to the ground wounded in an epic 'Charleton Heston' bit of melodrama run amok. "God DAMN YOU!! God damn you all to HELL!!!" (Planet of the Apes finale)

good eye Lawrence Red Dawn is coming out this November. I hope they don't ruin the already so so movie. I for one will watch it again.. 

Red dawn info, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/

If you have not seen the first red Dawn I recommend watching it.

I did not know they were remaking red dawn... it was a good movie for its time... Far fetched as it may be.. Like any foreign military force could hold any slice of land on he continental USA is a joke in itself.

It seems to me there has been a ton of military movement and purchases on USA soil.  I believe that Israel will be attacking Iran sooner then later and if that happens the USA will be involved. That would start WW111 and all the tanks and armor peircing bullets wont matter as they have no effect against nuclear weapons. No matter what is gonna happen in the upcoming future, we can all speculate... but regardless of who and where, it wont be good for any of us.

Fort Irwin, which is a Army Tank training base, is east of Simi Vally. Could be where they were headed, or they were being transported for shipment to another destination.
