In 97 I handled logistics for a 3000-man USMC landing force with 17 various types of vehicles. Shipped in with nothing and shipped out with even less.
Hell, even the SEABEE's removed their carpentry equipment before shipping out
I have never seen a wheeled or tracked vehicle shipped with anything sensitive, unless that slug of diesel engine in the HUMVEE could remotely be considered sensitive (to dust and Russian fuel).
Slightly off topic...I got a kick out of a Russian Pravda forum talking about the 1,700 plus weapons also being seized. While they may actually have a bunch of M16s and modified Remington 700s now, their crappy ammo will make the Remington perform like a muzzle loaderMarine Corps Commandant Gen. James T. Conway told reporters Aug. 27 that... "None of those had anything like secret satellite communications; in fact, no radios at all," Gen. Conway said.
"They had radio mounts only ... that's traditionally how we ship."
I can't even give away Russian small arms ammo here !
