Jim Rice has evidence that there are a lot more M151A2s still in inventory
than Lee Holland of MVPA thinks. Jerry Cleveland can you pass this info
onto Lee? Perhaps he can use it in his work.

thanks,

PS: Jim, answered in spades! I knew you could do it!

==========================================
Chuck,
I think this is a very low estimate. Last time I checked the storage area
at Ft. Sill,
there were probably over 100 there alone. Also, a friend and I get the
national bid
list and there have been M151A2s on the lists on a continuing basis. I
could easily be
wrong, but I would guestimate, there are closer to 2000 nationwide. I'm
told that at 29
Palms, there are still a few hundred on racks, but I haven't seen them to
tesitify to
the validity of the claim. I can go and check on the Ft. Sill M151A2 (and
M718
Ambulance) population tomorrow if I get the chance.

P.S. Chuck, did the HMMWV NSN list answer the mail? :)
