Hello
Is it possible to connect Hemtt M983 tractor with M969 Fuel Tank Trailer and place it as model from OIF ? I've seen picture with M1088 Lsac tractor + M969 in Iraq so I hope ...
Best Regards from Poland

It is possible in that an M983 can connect to and pull an M969 fuel tanker. It is not common since the standard tractor that is assigned to pull an M969 is a 5 ton (M1088, M932, etc.). Units that have the M969 fuel trailer do not usually have M983s as part of their organization.

The M983 is usually the prime mover for either the Patriot or an M870 trailer in an Engineer unit.
