Speaking of Weasels, I heard from the DRMS in Alaska that they will be
selling a batch of SUSVs. I asked them to post a notice of the sale on
mil-veh. If they don't post, you might want to be on the lookout for it.
I don't know anything about the SUSV, except it is a small-ish tracked
vehicle with matching trailer that is intended for cold-weather use.
