This book contains these articles:
1. Austrian Panzergrenadier & Jagdkommando Elite
"Schutz '04" took place in the wake of the March 2004 Madrid
bombings. It was the largest Austrian exercise of that year, and
was conducted in southern Austria with no less than 12,300
soldiers, 209 armored vehicles, 2,760 motor vehicles, and 30
helicopters! Naturally the scale of the exercise led to a great
many photo opportunities, and this article has captured Leopard
2A4s, 6x6 Pandurs and new Ulans as they were put through their
paces, along with a whole host of other vehicles currently in
service with the Austrian Bundesheer. The exercise scenario was
that of a counter-terrorism mission. There are lots of action shots
of Austrian vehicles and elite units like the Jagdkommandos to
create a fascinating record of "Schutz '04".
2. 1st (UK) Armoured Division CPX "Rhino Charge"
Exercise "Rhino Charge" took place in September 2004, an FTX for
the 1st (UK) Armoured Division. The exercise took place in Germany,
and featured a number of headquarters, logistics and signals units.
The fact that the tableau was on private land and not on a training
range allows the author to photograph a number of British tracked
and wheeled vehicles in varied rural settings. Some of the vehicles
featured are Saxons, MAN tank transporters, FV430 series vehicles,
Bedford trucks, Foden and Leyland DROPS, Fox NBC vehicles and
various specialist Warrior versions. This variety makes for an
interesting feature on modern British military vehicles.
3. French 6th Light Armored Brigade
After the end of the Cold War, the French Army embarked upon a
major transformation of its forces. One of the eight new brigades
that were formed was the 6eme BLB ("Brigade Legere Blindee" - Light
Armored Brigade). This article examines this brigade as they
participated in "Exercise Anvil" in 2004. The writer has included a
number of fascinating photos of a river crossing of the Rhone with
motorized floating bridges, as well as an amphibious landing on the
French coast. There are pictures of such combat vehicles as Panhard
VBLs, AMX-10RCs, VABs, as well as Mistral light SAMs and the Eryx
anti-tank missile.
