So, where does all of America’s military surplus truck, tanks, and tankers etc. end up? Sierra Army Depot at Herlong, California. 36,000 acres of land house is used to house these abandoned vehicles. That’s roughly 56 square miles of land.
This is a repository of military equipment returning from war. Every piece of equipment is rebuilt and shipped back out for military use. The government’s goal is to make sure that no taxpayer dollar is wasted. Everything imaginable is inventoried. There’s a lot, and there’s nothing sexy about what arrives through the front door.
Just think of what it would be like to take a ride down a road, for 56 miles, turn, then keep riding for another 56 miles! You’d only see half the compound. There’s another 56 miles and a final turn to make. File this video under things you didn’t know.
