I do not know the M number. But I do know they will not be on GL for a long time.

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sounds like a man with some insight. Sorry I will not ask anymore. (hides behind a BIG tree)wreckerman893 said:That is the HETT (Heavy Equipment Transporter).
It was (IMHO) designed by an idiot after lenghty consultation with a pack of morons (probably retired Transportation officers working for the builder).
It has a fuel sucking, two stroke Driptroit V-8 diesel (other application for this engine is boat anchor), an automatic transmission and the rear axle steers to help this abortion go around corners.
The trailer is an equal nightmare, the last three sets axles of the trailer steer because it's too hard to train drivers to swing wide on turns.
And speaking of axles the ones on the trailer are stub axles, two narrow tires on each one. After a while each axle tracks in a different direction. It's cheaper to buy new tires than to try to keep them in alignment.
When my unit trained on these nightmares I pissed the pogue from Oshkosh off when I showed him on paper that for what this POS cost I could have bought two superior civilian rigs for the same money.
Your tax dollars at work.![]()
You could not run fast enough to give me one of these much less sell me one.
Yep! I've seen that! We left Fallujah en route to Balad and were mixed in with a bunch of HETs hauling Bradleys and M-1s. The ULTIMATE gun-trucks. We did not get hit rolling through Baghdad like we would have on any other trip.emmado22 said:If those trucks start taking fire, something is seriously wrong..
However, 4ID did a big push into Iraq with M1s and Brads on the back of the HETs, all crewed, running, and ready to fire if need be.. They had an uneventful trip.
