Tankograd Publishing has released news of the latest five titles coming from them. There is of course the latest offering in the Militar Farzeug which will also be the last release for this year in that range. Unusually for Tankograd the other titles all cover post war offerings and so a boon for those interested in vehicles that came along after World War 2.
British Forces Germany
The British Army in Germany - Post-BAOR to Today
On 31 March 1994, the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) was disbanded. This did not, however, automatically mean that units of the British Army were no longer based on German soil. In fact, completion of the redeployment of Germany-based British troops to the United Kingdom would take another quarter of a century. During the period of 1995 to today British units formed British Forces Germany (BFG).
This publication looks at this time in which the image of British forces based in Germany massively changed by the introduction of new combat vehicles.

Feuertaufe Leopard 2
The Leopard 2 MBT's Baptism on Fire on Army Exercises 1984-86
The introduction of the Leopard 2 main battle tank from 1980 into the German Panzertruppe was a highly demanding task. This publication describes the teething problems and shows the early series production Leopard 2A0 and Leopard 2A1 tanks' baptism of fire in the three army manoeuvres conducted in 1984, 1985 and 1986, when they were used on exercise for the very first time. Also shown is the other vehicle equipment of the participating Bundeswehr and allied forces.

Cold War Warrior - MAN KAT I LKW
The 5-ton, 7-ton and 10-ton MAN-Kat I Trucks in Cold War Exercises with the German Bundeswehr
Trucks of the Kategorie I (Kat I) family produced by MAN are tactical vehicles with extreme off-road capabilities that can follow the vehicles of combat forces, such as the Leopard 2 main battle tank or Schützenpanzer Marder 1 armoured infantry fighting vehicle. The trucks are very powerful, robust and reliable. Procured by the Bundeswehr from 1977 onwards, they are employed to transport personnel, material, ammunition, fuel and different types of shelters. In addition to vehicles with a cargo body in the 5-ton, 7-ton and 10-ton payload classes, the truck family also includes special-purpose variants such as dump truck, bridge transporter, rocket launcher and radar vehicle.
A large number of the more than 8,000 trucks of this type procured are still in service with the Bundeswehr today, 30 years after the end of the Cold War.
This publication looks at Bundeswehr MAN Kat I trucks during Cold War exercises and thus supplements the technical volume published as Militärfahrzeug Special 5027.

Dagger Brigade
Army Rotational Force - Return of the 2nd Dagger Brigade
In September 2017, the Iron Brigade of the 4th (US) Infantry Division handed over command to the relieving 2nd Brigade Combat Team Dagger of the 1st (US) Infantry Division, or Dagger Brigade for short. The unit rotated for a nine-month-long period which included the exercises Allied Spirit VII, Allied Spirit VIII, Combined Resolve X and the SETC. Thus, the continuous deployment and permanent presence of a heavy American armoured brigade, under the term Army Rotational Force, continued in Europe with the second Atlantic Resolve rotation, a sign of NATO's resolve to defend its members.
This publication shows the exercise action of the Dagger Brigade as well as the unusual camouflage schemes and specialised markings of the vehicles involved.
