NTC Fort Irwin in detail, WWP

THE NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER AT FORT IRWIN, CALIFORNIA 

This title from Wings & Wheels Publications chronicles the activities at the US Army National Training Center at Fort Irwin situated in the Mojave Desert in California and is well known for the simulation of Soviet vehicles and tactics in training but has shifted emphasis due to the ever changing face of challenges especially in the current deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The book has 104 glossy pages entirely in colour with the all English text kept to a minimum allow the maximum space for the high quality photos to show the many vehicles and personal involved in the NTCs operations...

There are multiple photographs of the Abrams, HMMWVs, the Buffalo, Strykers, M113- and HEMTT-series vehicles along with a variety of trailers, FMVTs, and other vehicles. There are plenty of interior shots of an assortment of the vehicles too.

Highlights are certainly the Visual Modification (VISMOD) vehicles. These include HMMWVs made to appear as BRDMs, the older Sheridan's outfitted as T-80s and M113-based BMP1 VISMODs, the new OPFOR Surrogate Vehicles (OSV) - M113A3 based VISMODs with modified Bradley turrets depicting T-80s and BMPs. There are additional photographs of the SA-6 "Gainful" and SA-8 "Gecko" anti-aircraft systems; VISMODs built upon the M1097 Cargo Carrier.
