TANKOGRAD 3053 REFORGER 79 CERTAIN SENTINEL WINTER BATTLE IN FRANCONIA

by Walter Bohm

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.

Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away.  Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse!
