Hi guys,

Wanted to know if The Marines used their Amtracks in Kosovo? I seen picture of Humvees and LAV's but never an image of a Amtrack.

Sincerely,
Brian

Not yet. I'm currently on a M2A2 ODS probably in KFOR service.

If I do another AAV it should be a RAAMS (don't sure of the acronym) one with EAAK. But not that soon my stash is quite full and should get fuller after Xmas (hope so)
