Military Vehicle Park, part of the John B Mahaffey Museum Complex, click the pics (by AAron B. Hutchins) to make them bigger and see more:
-
- Second World War era M4 Sherman chemical (flamethrower) tank.
-
- Vietnam War era V-100/M706 armored car. Photo by AAron B. Hutchins.
-
- Vietnam War era patrol boat. The U.S. Army actually has more ‘boats’ than the U.S. Navy.
-
- Vietnam War era M113 (M132) chemical (flamethrower) tank.
-
- Vietnam War era UH-1B Iroquois.
-
- Vietnam War era M48 (M67 zippo) chemical (flamethrower) tank.
-
- Vietnam War era M60 based M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle (CEV). One of the first armored vehicles I trained on, back in 1982.
-
- The M728 is perfect for COIN ops, and the U.S. Army, and state National Guards have hundreds rusting away in depots. Yet, the government spent billions developing new COIN vehicles for their War on Terror! I love that 165mm demolition gun, firing 65 pounds of bunker busting C4 (HEP) explosive!
-
- Vietnam War era Rome Plow (Caterpillar D7). The plow was designed not only to dig up land, but to deforest jungles.
-
- Late Cold War era M113 (M1059) chemical (smoke layer) tank.
-
- Late Cold War era M9 Armored Combat Earthmover (ACE). Air transportable, and with the right equipment it is amphibious.
-
- M1 Grizzly Combat Mobility Vehicle. The CMV program was cancelled in 2001.
