The logo on the rear is/was of the Eagle Observer/Controller Group at National Training Center, Ft Irwin. The water cooler bracket is another dead give away of a NTC O/C vehicle. https://www.facebook.com/1413162325...1316232580814/273668866012216/?type=1&theater Check the logo, should look the same Also, the general stripped appearance of the truck is another indicator. No canvas, a 2 seater, no radio mount stuff, but 2 can mounts on the tailgate. Look on the stop/run/start lever for evidence of a hole that 550 cord would fit thru for a "remote start".


Also, check this link, look at the box in the bed of the model. That was another signature of OC HMMWV's. http://www.network54.com/Forum/4720...op+M998+Humvee+Circa+1991+Desert+Shield-Storm-

What evidence do you have of 21st AVN BDE?

The DRMO location is a also a HUGE #1 indicator of NTC use. It was a water cooler. The "rust" stains on the truck where the mount was indicates that. O2 or N gas wouldn't leave a stain. Figure out what the # under the eagle is and that will give us more info on it.

Start the truck and heater without getting out of your O/C sleeping bag. They would run a LONG heater duct hose from the passengerside heater duct under the dash inside the sleeping bag. No kidding. Those who have been to NTC can verify.

19C under the eagle.....

steel mount on aluminum body with rain water will do the same damage so to say it was done by a watercooler cant be 100 percent confirmed.....
