MILITARY ENGINEERING MARVELS! The 1700 km Ledo Road-lying between India and China it was critical in overland logistical supply as the Himalayas were too high for transport aircraft to overfly. It was almost as expensive in human terms as the construction of the the Mombasa Kisumu Railway. The road was built by 15,000 American soldiers (60 percent of whom were African-Americans) and 35,000 local workers at an estimated cost of US$150 million (or $2 billion 2017).[8] The costs also included the loss of over 1,100 Americans lives, as many died during the construction, as well as the loss of many locals' lives.[9] The human cost of the 1,079 mile road was therefore described as "A Man A Mile".[ Fyi,there were no preliminary soil tests or surveying,unheard of nowadays! Ofc this explains the high human cost. At the same time Heinz was building sub pens in France. Ultimately 5 were built to with typical German thoroughness to withstand bombs. The base is 300 metres long, 130 metres wide and 18 metres high, amounting to a 39,000 m² surface on the ground, and a volume of concrete of 480,000 m³. The roof is 8 metres deep, featuring four layers: the first one is a 3.5 metre sheet of reinforced concrete; the second is a 35 cm granite and concrete layers; the third is a 1.7 metre layer of reinforced concrete, and the fourth, is a "Fangrost" layer of steel beams, 1.40 metres deephttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Nazaire_submarine_base Jean-Fraude now uses the St Nazaire base as a home for the French navy Espadon. The Ledo Road and these sub pen will live forever as monuments to the strategic necessity of purpose built military engineering structures. 1 Like

Please I learnt that the US are building an air base in kainji to house the super tucanos, I'd like to ask, is there any plan by the US to jointly use the base with Nigeria? are we going to see some sort of US military presence in Nigeria? |
