The massive capability demonstrations were conducted for public viewing five times throughout the month and included a variety of assets from both the U.S. Army and Air Force. In addition to the tanks, helicopters and jets previously seen in these events, this year’s lineup showcased the brigade’s Multiple Launch Rocket Systems and Paladin self-propelled howitzers. A clear message not only to the loony in North Korea, but also to the Chinese neighbors down to the southwest.
