In today's Sunday N Y Times, there is a one-page story, with pictures going
back to the early 20th century, about Military Vehicles. Other than
referring to a CCKW as a "1.5-ton" and a DCKW as a "Duck" the article was
fairly interesting. The author mentions that the U S Govt is looking at a
"new" concept: the "COMBATT" series of MV's. COM mercial BAT tle T rucks.
They are accepting bids from the Big 2 (Ford dropped out of the game) to
provide commercial pick-ups converted to military use, at a savings of many
$ over the HMMWV's, which are said to cost $62,000. each.
