M270 MLRS Self-Propelled Loader/Launcher (SPLL)
The Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) provides the Army an all-weather, indirect, area fire weapon system to strike counterfire, air defense, armored formations, and other high-payoff targets at all depths of the tactical battlefield. Primary missions of MLRS include the suppression, neutralization and destruction of threat fire support and forward area air defense targets.

The Multiple Launch Rocket System is a versatile weapon system that supplements traditional cannon artillery fires by delivering large volumes of firepower in a short time against critical, time-sensitive targets. These targets often include enemy artillery, air defense systems, mechanized units, and personnel. MLRS units can use their system's "shoot and scoot" capability to survive while providing fire support for attacking manuever elements.

The MLRS M270 Launcher is the standard U.S. Army platform for firing surface to surface artillery rockets and missiles. The Armored Vehicle Mounted Rocket Launcher (M270) is a full-tracked, self-propelled launcher/loader designed to launch 12 tactical rockets and re-deploy before enemy determination of launch position (shoot and scoot).


Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT)
The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) provides transport capabilities for re-supply of combat vehicles and weapons systems. The 8x8 (10-ton) HEMTT is considered by many to be the world's premier heavy-duty tactical truck, and was affectionately referred to as "The Ship of the Desert" during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. The HEMTT is highly valued for its ability to provide support wherever the Army's tanks are going.
