Heading to Camp Pendleton then Japan ? UPDATE: Humvee's Piggy-Back Train Hermann Missouri Heading West

Where were the train full of Humvees heading west through Hermann, MO on Sunday March 20, 2011 going?

Perhaps California, we found these two photos below showing
exercise Pacific Horizon 2011 held earlier this month.

Perhaps they will be sent to Japan as the US has committed to help our Pacific allies in their time of need.  Just a Thought!

Trainload of at least 200 up-armored Humvee's just rolled through town. Say hello to the Taliban . . . or Mohammar for me.
