THERE’S MORE: The paper is also report­ing that “tons of Marine Corps materiel stored dur­ing the Cold War in Norwegian caves is being dusted off for duty in the hot com­bat zones of Iraq.”

In March, Marine Forces Europe will begin ship­ping an undis­closed num­ber of vehi­cles, ammu­ni­tion and food sup­plies from Norway to sup­port I Marine Expeditionary Forces deploy­ment in Iraq, said Lt. Col. Joseph Rizzo, the com­mands oper­a­tions offi­cer.
That ship­ment will be cou­pled with about 1,000 Marines from 1st Force Service Support Group from Camp Pendleton, Calif., and vehi­cles and other equip­ment already arriv­ing in Kuwait.”
