Does anyone of you guys has any pictures of an M-728 CEV with an mine rake attached ?
Or does anyone know where to find any pictures ?
Where any of these vehicles used in ODS or OIF ?

No, M728 CEVs have only the dozer blade on them. The blade is part of the vehicle and is not easily removed. They were use in ODS ('90-'91), but were retired from service shortly after, in the early to mid '90s.

Hi Gino,

Our engineer company had CEVs with the mine rake attached to it in Desert Storm. It fitted over the regular dozer blade. I believe there is a picture of one in the Osprey Desert Storm Special Ground Forces. The CEV was out of service by the time OIF began and the regular mine plow was fully fielded to armor units by then.

It is attached to a M728 CEV, over the dozer blade.



If you read further on the page, it was a new design tested in ODS that was made to fit over a dozer blade. It was only tested in ODS, not widely used by the US military.

Edit: Same as Sabot said above.....

Hi Robin, may i ask what unit that was ?
Then i can use these markings on my vehicle.

Digging way back into my memory banks, but I believe back when there was only one engineer battalion per division, our engineer battalion was the 8th Engineer Battalion. I do not know which line company supported our battalion. It could have been any one of the line companies (A, B, C or D). No clue as to what the actual bumper number of the vehicles were.

Thanks anyway, Robin.
Perhaps i can find some information about the 8th Eng.Bat
