Sonny, and list;
Year 2004, Camp Pendleton, NON combat zone, Used the Cattle car (trailer) to be hauled like cattle to the next camp. Yes we felt like cattle and about 1/2 of the car remembered being hauled in them also. This was for a professional military school. Safe and Authorized. And that was the way I remember it.
