(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature which may be
helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The van semitrailer covered by this specification is intended for use as
a tactical vehicle. Although it is primarily intended to transport and house electronic processing
equipment, its other uses include maintenance (electrical, mechanical, and electronic) shops, parts,
storage and transport, and command posts. The semitrailer is suitable for operation on paved

environmental conditions:
a. Inclement weather conditions including arctic, desert, and tropical-type
environments.
b. Biological chemical (BC) environments.
c. Low-level electromagnetic/radio frequency (EM/RF) environments.
d. Fording to depths of five feet.
In addition, the semitrailer is rail transportable in CONUS on all types of TOFC railcars, and rail
transportable in Europe through all tunnels meeting AR 70-47 dimensional requirements. The
semitrailer is air transportable in C-130, C-14 1, and C5 type of aircraft. These semitrailers are
considered military unique due to the specific nature of their design for all-terrain conditions.
