Looks like no track so probably a recovery for repairs somewhere out of range of enemy fire.

Default Combat Recovery

As mentioned above, track is missing. Carrier has been dragged onto a recovery trailer, which must be about to tilt forward. May be it is easier to tie it down, while the deck is still tilted back?

They may be watching the roadwheels on that plank. They would have laid the plank there so the road wheels don't get caught up on the girder type ramps.

AAh yes recovery but under fire, did not spot the trailer and the truck looked to small to take a carrier, intersesting picture.
