I'm looking for "in action" pics of the M58 trailer-mounted MICLIC in OIF. Most of the very few I've found yet show the version using a M200 tracked trailer chassis, but I'd prefer the one using a M200A1 trailer chassis (i.e. the one chosen by Hobby Fan for their M58 kit). Would it be possible to find both versions used at the same time within the same Engineer battalion (such as the 54th... ) ?
Post scriptum : I'm also looking for some pics of the MK 155 Mine Clearance Launcher (installed on a M353 Trailer Chassis), but this another story

TIA

Not sure if this is a MICLIC trailer or not but here is what looks like one being towed by an M113

Hope this helps.

Thanks Kyle ! The picture tells it all : this is exactly what I would like to represent. In fact, this is the very same picture that gave me the idea Unfortunately, I've been unable to identify the unit this M113 belongs to . Could it be one belonging to the 54th Eng Bat ? On the one hand this M113 is not fitted with the distinctive side racks most M113s of the 54th were equipped with during OIF. On the other hand I've read somewhere that the 54th has been involved in the fights in Baghdad airport area....

It might just be the fact that I am tired but I think it does belong to the 54th. If you look really close at the area just to the left of the CIP, you can barely make out a [b]
