            4. -CUI TITLE: 5-TON TPU AND WRECKER SUITABLITY fOR DESERT TERRAIN
            .ItJ)@ OBSERVATION: 5-TON TPUs and 5-TON wreckers are not well
            suited to a desert terrain.

            [.(U@ DISCUSSION: 5-TON TPUs and wreckers get stuck very
            easily in the desert terrain. The Signal Battalion has four
            TPUs and two wreckers, These vehicles have averaged a combined
            operations rate of about S07,, often due to drive train and
            transmission problems which we attribute to the B-TON's
            differculty In negotiation this terrain. Half of our recovery
            operations have been for our 5-TONs, to include our wreckers.
            Much of the Signal Battalion's equipment is positioned on hgh
            ground, which increases the trafficability issue.
            7(UtV LESSON LEARNED. 5-TON users must choose routes with
            great care.  While convnunications criteria are key in selecting
            communications sites, so is 5-TON trafficability.
            8(U)@@ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Replace the 5-TON TPUs and wreckers
            with HEMTT TPUs and wreckers.
