Could someone comment on this product:



They say it is "US Armored Ammo Trailer WWII to Present ." Is this something that could be seen attached to a Humvee? What would be the payload?

I don't believe they're still bieng used.........I could be wrong. If it was it'd probably be towed by a Tank or SPG.

Pawel, that is the M10 Armored Trailer - payload would be anything but in particular explosive material. In non-wartime situations, I believe it should have marking panels on it to indicate thet it is carrying dangerous material....

This is not the first kit of this trailer, someone else does one (Cal35?) as well.... I didn't know it was still in service though... Jim

OK, I did some research and it looks like modern version of it is called M332 and it is still used. Or it was used quite recently as this picture shows it in NATO camouflage: http://www.easternsurplus.net/142d.JPG

I also found information that it would be pulled by M32A2 or 5-ton truck - it's probably too heavy for Humvee...

And I even found TM for it: https://www.logsa.army.mil/etms/data/A/056470.pdf

When I was the S-4 of the1/11th ACR in 1981 my Support Platoon have 11 of these trailers to haul behind the 5-tons in teh ammo section. They normally hauled reserve projectiles for the squadron's howitzer battery.
