Coleman APS-2 worksite serves as staging area for U.S. Bradleys set to support Ukraine

MANNHEIM, Germany – The first shipment of M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles from the U.S. has arrived at the Coleman Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 worksite, and a team of experts headed by the 405th Army Field Support Brigade is there staging and preparing the Bradleys for onward movement.



The more than 60 Bradleys – which left Charleston, South Carolina, about three weeks ago and started arriving at the Coleman APS-2 worksite in Mannheim earlier this week – are part of a $2.85 billion U.S. military aid agreement announced earlier this year to help provide Ukraine with additional defensive capabilities in order to protect itself from Russia.
