ZAGAN, Poland – Chrisoph Muessig, a traffic manager with the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, uses a ruler to make sure that the tank tracks don’t hang to far over the edge of the railway car, Jan. 25, 2017. Seventeen M1A1 Abrams Tanks belonging to 1st Battalion, 66th Armored Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, were loaded onto flatcar railways to be shipped to Grafenwoehr, Germany where they will be used by the battalion for training events. The movement of equipment and troops into and around Europe kicks off what will be a continuous rotation of armored brigades from the United States as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. The Iron Brigade’s move to Germany will enhance deterrence capabilities in the region and improve the U.S. ability to respond to potential crisis and defend its allies and partners within the European community.
