US army transports military vehicles through Schleswig-Holstein!

The streets in Schleswig-Holstein were lively last weekend when the US Army military vehicles rolled through the region. These transports are part of a sophisticated strategy that aims at NATO's operational ability. The vehicles were transported to Esbjerg in Denmark by ship by Beaumont, Texas, and are now on the way to their final destination in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. According to KN-Online are properly registered with the state command of Schleswig-Holstein, and the marching commands stipulate that the vehicles are traveling every five to ten minutes.

A crucial part of this transport was the Roro freight ship "Arc Commitment", which laid down in the port of Esbjerg on Tuesday. It acts as a new central turntable for military transports and has an impressive charging capacity of up to 7,900 cars and a load capacity of around 31,000 tons. This ship is not only the largest from the US shipping company American Roll-On-Roll-Off Carriers (ARC), but also plays a key role in supporting NATO troops who are increasingly focusing on the geopolitical challenges in the East.

The transport to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The vehicles left the port on Thursday and continue their trip over Harrislee, Schleswig and Bad Segeberg, where they have controlled an intermediate destination in Hagenow, where the Panzergrenadier Battalion is stationed 401. An estimated 40 to 50 vehicles are located in the convoy. The exact determination of the troops remains unclear, but in August there is a large-scale NATO maneuver called "Grand Eagle 2025", which serves to strengthen NATO troops in Lithuania before Rostock's exercise to Lithuania follows.

Even if the military activities around Esbjerg are not new, their importance is underlined by the current geopolitical tensions with Russia. The neighboring country has carried out massive military exercises in the past, as our information shows. For example, there were up to 130,000 soldiers in various regions as part of "Zentr-2019", which illustrates the importance of operations such as Atlantic Resolve, which aim to strengthen NATO operations and to promote coordination between the allies. This operation, in which the US Army, the British armed forces and the Danish armed forces work successfully, will be at Army.mil described and reflects the growing interoperability and partnership.
