Done.

Gino how 'bout you add your two generator photos posted elsewhere to this thread as well. They look like good reference!

Good idea.

These are all I have for the HEMTT PATRIOT generator truck. It consists of two 150 kilowatt diesel generators, 4 large reels, two smaller reels, and the fold-down sides of the HEMTT bed.

Interesting post from the Vincorion product page:
(I must presume Vincorian is the systems integrator/manufacture of the Patriot power generation system.)

Like many military systems, the Patriot launcher system requires maximum power for only a fraction of the operating time. Nevertheless, gensets are designed for this maximum load. This leads to inefficient idle times with high fuel consumption, engine and exhaust system wear and tear, and high maintenance requirements. VINCORION’s hybrid genset for the Patriot is an innovative solution to this challenge.

The variable-speed diesel genset is designed for the typical and actual load profile and is backed up at peak loads by a power storage unit made of supercaps. The genset meets all MIL and system requirements and can be used as a plug-and-play solution in all Patriot systems worldwide, as a successful trial with the US Army over several months demonstrated.

Again I would presume the term "Supercaps" refers to battery capacitors similar to those used in the Oshkosh A3 HEMTT.
