16-195 Garand Picture of the Day - Check Point Charlie

[Sentryduty]

When I did my Combat Int Course we spent a lot of time on AFV, and our instructors decided to even run the obscure trenching vehicles, odd psuedo-proto types, and junk like that. The AFV in that course started with the 1950's equipment, like the BTR-50, T54/55 series and roll forward, this truck above just didn't "look Russian" to me, so I figured it was some East German Post-war cobbled-up commercial vehicle.

That makes for very interesting morning quickie tests. Also makes for an excessive course package...nice...

I do think that was their intent, there were vehicles that the only pictures were B&W line drawings, never photographed in the wild kind of thing.

"You there, you've spotted just a BMP-1 with Spandrel launcher accompanied by two BTR-60's, how many 2S1's are in the attached BAG of that Motor Rifle Regiment's TO&E!?"

That was an interesting and at times very silly course...
