The Army is considering a four-category system of trucks for the Field Army, namely, Military Hi-mobility Tactical, Military Tactical Standard, Quasi Military, and Commercial Administrative Types, which are broadly described and charted herein. Commercial trucks are generally not considered adequate for Field Army use; however, this proposed overall four-category system of trucks, potentially, can offer real military effectiveness at lowest cost. The success of the proposed system will largely depend on well supported and thorough truck engineering system design and cost studies to insure effective product implementation.
