Got to see what it can do!
Reminds me of a story from my Korean days. Just as I arrived and got to my station, heard that a couple guys decided to go mudding in a jeep which got stuck in the mud. So, they sent a six pack and it got stuck. So, the Army sent a tank recovery vehicle which had to pull both out of the mud. It was in a remote area and hard to get to....just having fun Sargent! 😁
The best hardware the Pentagon wars has to offer.
