About a dozen ex British M548 have been sold to mining companies in Oz as rough terrain transport. There are a couple in the Hunter Valley coal fields in NSW.
The problem is that the US government has recently increased the restrictions under ITAR to include spares for fighting vehicles and the sale of surplus from US Govt inventory. This makes spares for the non fighting vehicle M548 more difficult.
I've also bought other stuff direct from FMC and found them extra expensive.
