Re: WTF got into US Defence Sec Robert Gates' head (none / 1)
on top of that, which countries troops were designated to defend the Fulda gap in Nato planning, and so were trained for the Fulda gap?

Defence of the Fulda Gap was tasked primarily to the US V Corps. More specifically, the actual East/West border in the general area of the Fulda Gap (See top "External link" below) was screened by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) from 1972 to 1994. Prior to 1972, the 14th ACR had screened the Fulda Gap for twenty-four years, and before that the duties had been performed by the 3rd Constabulary Regiment and 1st Constabulary Brigade.


Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
