Horsemen M113
These photos are fairly dated Robin.
The latest batch bear almost no resemblance except for the slab side. Even the tracks are different. Don

I wonder if the value of the 9 APCs borrowed for the Gustafsen Lake standoff prompted them to aquire their own?

The Soucey rubber track will date it some time after about 2004 at a minimum. The carrier itself is a M113A2 with external fuel tanks, so they could still be found until the majority were destroyed around 2012 or so?
Something tells me the cost and logistics of keeping a M113 running, along with the logistics of transporting it around took the shine off using them.
