Nato exercise in czech republic

[Erex]

Hey folks,

i have my weekend house not far from well known czech MTA Doupov-Hradiste (for you not military dudes it does mean Military Training Area), and i have discovered (dont ask me how ) ***that US army (maybe some other NATO armies too) should have there huge exercise (more than 100 days). And because im really interst in USArmy, especialy in military aviation, i want to go there a take few pictures.
But i dont want to be shot as spy, so im asking you: Dont you now anyone whos there, or dont you now the exact unit?

Cause it will be much easier for me to take those pictures with some kind official permission.

P.S. Excuse my english ***

I say go there and take pics anyway....long as you don't trespass can't do nothing.

Also I say dress all in bright BRIGHT orange....hard for them to say you were a spy when everyone within 10 miles could see you

I have permission to go there by foot and permision to adrive any car in teh MTA (only 5 permissions of this kind), but im affraid of the soldires ready to shot. I remember when there was Legion Entrangere we have littel picture accident

BTW i have bright green car

eh....you know...live targets ARE very tempting.......

My suggestion is that you contact whoever is in charge of MTA and ask them to findout where you can contact to meet(or get permission of) US troops. If possible, do it as a representative of BIS, citing that you guys are the ones behind OFP/VBS. By this way, I hope they will be nicer to you. If you are just a civilian, they will not be happy, but if you are some mil sim dev team, they wouldn't mind(my guess). Of course, you need to talk to your people at BIS first to get things straight.

You are a spy....i'll contact nearest FBI office and have them call NATO headquarters, who will in turn contact Czech authorities and have you arrested!!
(joking!! joking!&#33


good luck!

i say....dress like a german tourist, that way if you get caught you can say you were looking for elks (mooses?) and got lost in the mta (which you of course thought meant "mountain")


another thing to do...call the army or the police and ask for advice, they will for sure help you.

ps, tell them that you are a part of the famous BIS and that you need some photos for the game, and you need to see the things work in real life to feel the atmoshpere they provide etc etc......just some small lies.

All the more reason to wear really bright orange.....course then that could just DRAW fire do to the ease of visually being spotted....

forgot to add:

plz stick with their training schedule. don&#39;t wander around trying to get pictures. whether you are wearing bright color shirt or not. i&#39;m pretty sure there are some sort of observation area or something like that. stay there, and don&#39;t be stupid enough to go out to field on your own. Just becuase you made OFP, doesn&#39;t mean you&#39;ll be James Gastovski in real life.

maybe you can even follow the troops

yup, i know...just thought that it would fit well into the "german tourist" camouflage heheh


anyways, if you do get to take some pictures, posting some on this forum would be very nice, we are all intrested in that im sure


when i was in the army i remember 1 jet flying just abowe us at highspeed (tree top level) followed by 2 other jets in close formation...it looked so cool and i really hoped i had a camera back then, i saw the trees wave and leafs drop cos of the exhaust of the jets.....they were that low, and really really fast

i wish you good luck with getting to the nato exercise.
