While trolling the internet for a completely unrelated item I happened upon three pics of this very interesting off-road vehicle used by the U.S. Navy to transport goods from the supply ship to the storage buildings. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to the make and model of this truck?

Chimo! Derek.
