On pictures of military vehicles taken from the rear, there is a plate with the word PASS written on it. What is the purpose of these plates?
These PASS plates were reversible, they slid in to a holder. On the other side was the Unit sign / Tac sign, if you had a breakdown, the sign was reversed to tell other vehicles you could not proceed, therefore telling them to pass.
