Where there are moose there are swamps, and for tanks deployed by U.S. Army Europe, that’s no good.
With a sizable Russian force just across the border, “we were thinking heavy [equipment], quite honestly, but heavy has some limitations in this terrain,” said USAREUR’s Col. Jeffrey French during a strategy huddle of top Army leaders on a recent stop in Latvia’s capital of Riga. “We need to start rethinking the types of formations we want to use. ”More light-weight attack vehicles such as Strykers could be in order, he said.
In Estonia, drive off road, and tanks are liable to sink into the swamps favored by the country’s large moose population, Army engineers explained. Bog land, limited highway networks throughout the Baltics and a shortage of rail cars strong enough to carry U.S. tanks also pose obstacles.
