Way too early for me to commit, but I'm in if I am in the AO. Don't be surprised if <---- shows up at the last minute

I can safely state that not ALL MRAPs are being destroyed. We are retaining an amount, we just "bought" more than we could use. Due to size/weight/maneuverability, etc... they will not replace the standard HMMWV on post, but they are not being completely removed from the play book. Also, part...

Is the plan to put that stuff in the "top left" corner? seems like it's not very space efficient right now... Nice look otherwise.

That sucked... so pissed on that one... In terms of the 1102s, they may have realized they were still needed. I shake my head when I see 1101/1102s at DRMO here... I KNOW there have to be units that need them... yet there they sit...

Never seen nor heard of them, on active duty...

I checked one out from the retrograde yard in 2010, in Iraq.

Funny story. A unit that was deployed received a full fielding (in the rear) of brand new A4 HEMMTs, mostly PLS varients. I was the BN Motor Officer and I would occasionally wander through open motorpools within my BN to see what was going on, and would contact the Motor SGT with a list of...

Congrats. You are that guy.

Picture I took at ADEX 2013 last weekend. I REALLY want one of their little jeep things.... those look FUN.

The Pre-Po stocks here only have unit markings on items that have been transferred out of existing units and inducted into the program. (There's various methods but unsure of public release, so I'm not going to go in depth). When vehicles get a paint job the markings are lost and not replaced...

K1, very common here, K2 is the slightly bigger brother. They also run older versons of the Marine Corps Amphibious Tanks (no clue as to nomenclature) --Might be getting the new and improved versions, unsure. They have similar vehicles to Bradleys as well, but not as tall. Their AVLM is a bit...

PointSource, We don't have anything smaller than a HMMWV. that's the smallest vehicle in the inventory. Outside of quads/motorbikes/ATVs/Gators... Honestly, if someone is rolling up to do a "pickup" of some VIP we probably wouldn't use HMMWVs, as long as GSAs/TMPs are available from the...

Reuben, If your dept has any desire to work with a local unit, but are having problems getting to the right people, please contact me. I will work through the proper channels to get you to the right resources.

Practice. Practice. Practice. Driving, maneuvering, getting in, getting out, stretcher/sked-co/tarp/drag drills, blind spot "figuring out", etc... ROLLOVER DRILLS... Some of your guys will be as big or bigger than some of the Soldiers that were moving in and out. Also, since you guys probably...

For once, I can't even guess... where'd you get it out of?

Never seen one like that...

An M172 Trailer would fulfill the role, and doesn't require the winch...

AS far as I know, none of those MRAPs were in the DoD inventory. They are similar to ones that are in, but certain things are wrong.

You mean, like this guy?

Gary, Sorry... translation: Maintenance Expenditure Limit, IE how much the Army is willing to invest in a piece of equipment before determining it is not economically (aka financially) feasible to repair vs. buy new... an MEL of $0 means that the Army has determined it will not spend any money...
