Jack (and list),
You know how I hate to contribute to the REAL postings here.......But to
answer your question. YES. All the services use the "ATV" from most of the
makers if not all.
One that comes readily to mind is the Gator, The replacement for the M274
Mechanical Mule........Doesnt have a M to it that I know of........dont
forget about the Motorcycles too. Special Diesel engine for our "one fuel"
system now.

That's good Kenny, however, myself and APB just violated rule #2 because
we posted back on the list to make our point to everyone that "we" though
might be mildly interested in what "we" had to say about what "you" had to
say OT. Which is the basic reason why an OT posts shows up in the first
place! lol
-----------------------------
Next... Military ATV's, like the Honda, Polaris, Suzuki or Artic Cat type
of ATV's...I clarify this because all military vehicles are ATV's, right?
So, I'm just talking about the little one's, solo riders, like the Honda
Foreman (500 c.c. - 45 mph) we use on our ranch. They're sure handy...
we use it more than the horses!
Q. Does the military (anywhere) use them?
Q. Any photos anywhere on the web I could see?
Q. If it's U.S., what "M" series do they classify them?
I would think the military IS using them, just haven't noticed where.
Would make sense as a MV since they are great at load carrying and towing
in amounts that would be impractical on a motorcycle. They are faster now
and a lot more agile than the old powered Mule too.
Thanks in advance for your comments!
