here's a brief update for those of you especially interested in the M718 and
M718A1 ambulances, along with the Mutts at the DRMO sites/bases.
I contacted Red River Army Depot and under an FOIA (freedom of info) request,
I asked for details/documents/photos etc... in fact, anything pertaining to
RRADs involvement in converting standard Mutts into ambulances.
I got the reply today. Nothing !!!! Zero !!!! Not anything!!!
The RRAD FOIA officer contacted RRAD's Mgt Dept and asked what was available.
The reply was that the details/drawings etc were sent to Toole Depot when
RRAD's contract had ended.... as Toole were still doing maintenance etc on
M151 trucks at that time. However, when Toole closed, the documents etc did
not return to RRAD.
So it looks like the insatiable shredder was fed again !!!! If anyone knows
different, please let us know.
Still awaiting replies and information from the US Marine Corps 26th MEU (re
the FAV version of the Mutt) along with DRMO Fort Carson's Mr Mendoza and
DRMO Fort Sill's Ms. Edwards, and US Army LOGSA's Ms Gilbert.
Will keep you posted on progress.... wish me luck.
Kind regards....
Ken
