The M840 was used by all MASH units for tranporting of the containers and expandable shelters needed to deploy MASH hospitals. I sepnt 7 years stationed at Meisau Army Depot. The entire stokage of M840's in Europe for MASH units were there. They had to be the most unloved, totally un-servisable things I ever saw in my life. Not one of the trailers made it off the depot, when deployed for the first Great Sand Box War. War stockage had to be pulled from storage to deploy the Landstull MASH unit. When they tried to deploy for the Second Great Sand Box War, my company, (ITT) was assigned to TI, and repair them enough for deployment. Not one was road safe. If you want to use one, be sure to get all the TM's and look at the BII listing to make sure you have the extra parts needed to safely use it. The DRMO's are full of these trailers.
