El Bibliotecario Posted November 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 27, 2011 Every time I pass Creech AFB @ Indian Springs, NV I wonder what use they have for the fleet of vehicles (MRAPs?) in the attached photo. Creech is adjacent to the Nevada Test Site , the next door bombing range, and is, I believe, home to the predator drone program. I'm hoping someone who knows the vehicles' purpose there can enlighten me --assuming its not a case of you tell me, you'll have to kill me. Link to post Share on other sites
hawkdriver Posted November 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 27, 2011 I've flown out of Indian Springs doing paradrops for the SF. They do have the predators there, that isn't a secret. As for the armor, I don't know, but there are trails going from the base out into the training area. Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites

Having driven on similar rough trails in the adjacent wildlfe refuge, I wish I'd had an armored vehicle. Link to post Share on other sites

If I had to guess, I would say that they are used to keep the prisoners across the road in line :thumbsup: Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon Posted November 27, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 27, 2011 Maybe base QRF for Security Forces, ie military police. Or an Army unit substationed on there like the guard. Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking Guard or Reserve unit as well. To save money, you have a lot of joint use of bases these days.

LtRGFRANK Posted November 28, 2011 Share #8 Posted November 28, 2011 You will probably see them on all the base's as we have thousands to bring back from Iraq. A story on the news showed "one" base in Kuwait that had room foe 5,000 MRAPs. and more arriving everyday. The story seemed to say if you were leaving Iraq you had to drive a vehicle out.

Camp_Kearny Posted December 4, 2011 Share #10 Posted December 4, 2011 Is Silver Flag Alpha training conducted out there at Creech? The MRAPs could be there for that exercise. Link to post Share on other sites
