Default 10 Ton Man

These trucks were bought I believe by then brigade commander Gen Fox to allow his logistical support to get with the times and deliver the goods. When they introduced females into the support services out with the combat arms units this was the vehicle of choice for some of the ladies. This truck supported us in the VIII CH with ammo and parts and it was a great truck just don't have the windows closed on the tank range. The smaller 7 tons built in Canada just sat in the 4 air def compound while I drove a 1976 5 ton with 2 fuel cells and a fuel trailer around Germany on my last year 91-92 keeping the Leopard C1's topped up. We also had 4 tank haulers Elephants I think they were called with FUMSU. I am still trying to get one of their combat slip ons for my collection.
