CHAMERSBURG — Letterkenny Army Depot on Wednesday rolled out the first 36 Avengers in a program to rearm Army units in Europe with mobile air defense systems. Workers are resurrecting up to 72 Avenger systems from Letterkenny’s “boneyard” to the battlefield, according to Letterkenny spokeswoman Janet Gardner.
Col. Greg Brady, chief of the Army headquarters Fire Division, said his staff heard rumors of Avengers in various stages of disrepair in “the boneyard” at Letterkenny. They found the discarded Avengers and laid out the vision for him.
“A vision without resources is only hallucination,” Brady said. “The long time strategic competitions with China and Russia are the principle priorities of the department and require both increased and sustained investment because of the magnitude of the threats they pose to U.S. security.”
