This seems like a good place to ask, what is the next truck bigger than a HEMTT that the US Army, or at least the National Guard, uses? I thought they only had FMTVs and HEMTTs and if they needed bigger they would have to hire a contractor, but no, I recently saw some bigass 3-axle trucks in "Iraq Tan" that kinda look like a commercial semitractor on steroids, hauling an equally-roided 3(4?)-axle low-bed trailer. What is?

is there a version with only 3 axles? Also the trailer was definitely different

The Navy and Marines use conventional cab tractors (pic related) but I'm not too familiar with them. Everything in the Army and Air Force aside from the HET is cab-over

Love how France make memorable acronyms.
This is the CARAPACE truck, beside the armor double entendre it's also the acronyme for:

One of those things is wasting away in a wooded field nearby, if thread is still up tomorrow I'll grab some OC. For now, have a LeTourneau Tree Crusher (we sure they ain't orkz?)

Not a lot. Fluids up high so less than 30. I'm going to hazard a guess at 20mph.

Given the experience of the war in Ukraine, I believe that special attention should be paid to engineering vehicles.

I had to change the tire on a HEMTT once and it was genuinely the second or third worst thing I've ever had to do in the military. If that was my truck I'd straight up kill myself.
