Negative from FNG archive. From 1969 until the end of the cold war in 1993 annual REFORGER (REturn of FORces to GERmany) exercise campaigns were held training the rapid deployment of US troops to Germany. REFORGER V took place from 9th to 16th October 1973. To bid farewell to the last troops returning to the US a German Army Huey was drafted to fly in a palet of locally brewed beer.
