Much of this can be transported in fairly quick order via the fast
deployment ships that are roll-on/roll-off. Perhaps thats some of the
assets coming out of Ft Hood or other locations. I know one buddy
that's out at Hood and soon to be deployed. He's a combat engineer
type so I guess its not all over there yet.
Hmm, the last post I see from him on a fairly busy list is from the
25th. Perhaps that's his gear headed to port. He volunteered to be
one of the guys on ship to take care of the vehicles on the trip over.
