Description

REFORGER 79 Certain Sentinel
Winter Battle in Franconia
REFORGER 79 was the second such exercise of US armed forces to take place in winter. One objective of the training exercise was to test the deployment of American reinforcements to Europe under extreme weather conditions, and to learn lessons for the future in order to optimise the process. Yet, poor and unpredictable Central European winter weather in January-February 1979 impaired the exercise to a hitherto unprecedented degree and presented the command with major challenges.
Core element of REFORGER 79 was the Certain Sentinel corps combat training exercise in the central Franconian region in the southern part of West Germany. This publication uses impressive exercise photographs to illustrate the fight of American, German and Canadian units against a superior armoured enemy force but also their battle against the harsh Franconian winter weather.
