I believe in one of the half dozen or so videos I made off the TV news at
the time of the Gulf War that there was a shot of some MUTTs coming towards
the camera. As I recall it was NOT a U.S. unit, but was Coalition.
As for special unit MUTTs, I have a photo in Wheels & Tracks of some in
desert sand colour I believe in Northern Iraq with US forces, soon after the
ceasefire. Can't say whether or not they were used during the fighting.
