Carrier, Light Weapons, Infantry, ½ Ton, 4x4, M274

This vehicle is designed to carry light cargo over rough terrain at slow speeds. 

This vehicle has a very low silhouette. The vehicle consists of a platform on which the driver’s seat is mounted. The small size and cross-country mobility of this vehicle make it a good choice for a casualty carrier for forward units. It is easily loaded with litters; however, the casualties must be lashed securely to the litters and the litters must be secured to the vehicle. The carrier can transport as many as three litter casualties, placed across the body of the vehicle. The most satisfactory method of using this vehicle for transporting casualties is to place two litters lengthwise on the vehicle. A two-man team is used for loading.
