In the autumn of 1976, the US Army conducted REFORGER 76. Exceptional during this exercise was the participation of the 101st (US) Airborne Division in two corps-level field training exercises in Germany, with the airmobile forces providing valuable support to the armoured formations. FTX Gordian Shield was conducted in Hesse during the period 6-11 September, whereas FTX Lares Team took place in the Franconian region of Bavaria from 11-17 September. In total, Gordian Shield involved 36,000 troops, 6,000 wheeled vehicles and 2,500 tracked vehicles. In turn, Lares Team included 44,000 troops, as well as 8,000 wheeled and 3,500 tracked vehicles.
