If one wanted to model a troop or equipment movement of US Army equipment in the US in the 1960's what would a possible consist be?
- WW II and Korea, a lot of troop movements in civilian coaches, sleepers etc. By 1960's would it be road or air to move most units?
-heavy equipment would have to go by rail. This would probably include M60 tanks, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, trucks, ambulances, jeeps etc. I have seen olive drab US Army 20' containers on flats. Were these used in 1960's or later?
-what sort of flats, USAX DODX civilian etc?
-were guard cars (cabeese) used, what type?
Any suggestions or additions? Thanks
