This popped up in my Recommendations.

Pretty cool assortment of stuff.

Some excelent "sure they're all pained exactly alike" schemes, too.

Cool "Is that a . . . " spotting, too.

Enjoy the video

Well, dang it, you have to use the Go to Youtube to see it larger.  Harumph.

ANd, since I watched one on youtube . . .

Another was suggested:

Wonder if these are headed back to the factory for a refurb?  The number with a one or two middle road wheels (possibly torsion bars, too?) is curious.  the mix of side skirts is interesting, too.

They look like early production models. They appear to have the 105mm guns (not sure, just going by the sharp cylindrical appearance of the bore evacuator) and the short turret bins. A lot of them still have the "training wheels" too. The turret front slopes also appear different to the M1A1 and later.

I’m guessing that the unit in the first video are heading to a JRTC or NTC rotation. Or possibly they could be heading to a seaport for shipment of an overseas deployment. The USAF has far fewer airlift assets and capacity than they used to have during the Cold War and Desert Shield era. Not to mention real world combat missions ongoing currently.
