CJ-3B Jeep in Canadian Armed Forces use

[rob love]

I don't have information on CJ3Bs, but the purchase of CJs as administrative vehicles has always gone on. DJs as well. Below is the CFTO Data Summary for the DJ5 bought in the late 60s. At the school in Borden, we used 70s CJ6 and jeep commandos as training aids. In the early 80s, when the M38A1Cdn2 and 3 fleets were no longer reliable, the armoured corp and later the militia in general got slightly militarized CJ7s, and later there were even some YJs purchased.

Thanks Rob,

Seems military administrative vehicles - even though they are Real Jeeps! - are getting as little attention in Canada as elsewhere.
