small fifth wheel trailer?

[maddawg308]

Saw a picture of this online, I can't find any information about it. Looks like a small trailer, maybe M1101 based, 2 axle with a fifth wheel hitch? Looks interesting, but I can't find any nomenclature on it. Is this an issue item, or custom?

I've seen something like that before, pulled by a HMMWV

Why would they have the HMMWV pull a fifth wheel instead of the norm pintle?

Thanks for all the info guys. Guess it will be quite a while before we see these surplus....

I saw this also and would love to have one! Guess I will have to wait and hope that when they become available, you forget about them.
