Big, big boy. As critical as the capability they offered is, I can see why these giants were retired, by 2001 a single Abrams, barring the initial M1, exceeded its standard load capacity and more than forty years of service must've left them in pretty rough shape.
There's one of these in Overloon, the Netherlands. I saw it in real life, you really don't know how big these things are until you're standing next to one!
As a kid growing up in the Tidewater area of Va I saw one of those at a open base event in the 80's. That area was great for events and airshows. The Thunderbirds would do their final preseason display at Langley (I lived less then 2 miles from the gate) for the DC bigwigs. Even watched Airforce One and the Concorde land there for the G7 in 83'.
The US has DUKWs as tour vehicles. I rode one out into Puget Sound years ago. Tragically, a couple have sank in a few places and led to fatalities during tours as well.
This was a fantastic explanation, kudos to you Battle Order. The LARC-LX is unusual-looking but i'm glad it's smaller variant got to join the Cute Little Guy Club. The part where you mention the tree crusher with the demonic voice really caught me by surprise.
Its smaller cousin the LVTP-5 and the meaner LVTH-6 is absolutely bonkers in size. I think it carries like 20 men at once and then has a 105 howitzer on top. Also used extensively by the ROC and PH Marines. Theyre ridiculous looking things lol
I saw one a few years ago sitting beside the road in Green Coves Springs, Florida. It was amazing seeing a vehicle bigger than a building with tires larger than a car.
I can remember these in our motor pool at Ft. Story, VA. in 2002 before the Army sold them off. Until the early 2000s the 11th Trans. Bn. would use them for drown proofing / swim training even then. It was weird.
Is the move to individually water-mobile AFV/APCs the reason why these amphibious trucks became obsolete? Or is it just the US's massive emphasis on air-mobility? They're certainly some neat vehicles that seem to have a lot of niche uses, unable to be performed by any other vehicle (i.e. I doubt an LCAC could tow landing craft off of wherever they get beached).
It's probably a combination of both tbh. Why bother with what is essentially a super huge landing ship that can drive on to the beach when practically every AFV that would be on the frontline is amphibious capable under their own power. Plus nowadays these would just be sitting ducks for an enemy to hit,more so than they were even back then
Acording to a book about the wheeled and tracked vehickles of the Bundeswehr from 1999 (Die Rad- und Kettenfahrzeuge der Bundeswehr, Bechtermünz Verlag) Germany purchased 7 LARC-LV in the mid 1960s. But due to there huge size they were considered unsuitable for the Bundeswehr and decommissioned and sold in the early 1970s.
Incredible Vibe Beautiful breakdown of a niche subsection of logistics One of Your best videos proportionally Such an amazing piece of raw Ability Big and unwieldy and built to carry far more than itself It’s a cute doctrine but pontoon bridges really do blow this out the water … That’s not a joke
This thing is awesome with excellent real-life scenario logistical capability. It was a mistake to phase out the vehicle without any proper replacement.
I I love how you started off with the proper designation of roc instead of like everybody else just saying Taiwan because they don't want to offend China

As a former platoon commander of a Larc V company, I am honoured to have my vehicles inducted into the Cute Little Guy club
US or Singaporean service?
@Nelsonwmj Singaporean Army, I was in LVC about 10 years ago
@@Doplemosh Ayyyy, LARC-V was my neighbour company in SBC. I did my NS with HMCT Coy 1TPTBN.
The moment you said "Letourneau", it all made sense. That company was always making wacky heavy transports
I was thinking it had to be made by them.
i love letourneau

Just make a bigger LARC

lol I had this running in one ear while working, and I was not ready for TREE CRUSHER.
Keep up the great work, dude.
logistics seems not so sexy until you realize you are running out of toilet paper
The things Loggies say to make themselves feel cool....

Now we're talking the sexy stuff, nothing makes me harder than complex logistics challenges and solutions.
I know😂
There's one of these in Overloon, the Netherlands. I saw it in real life, you really don't know how big these things are until you're standing next to one!
Before Overloon it was in the Marshall museum in Zwijndrecht. I got a tour after they moved it over and the wheels had dented the concrete floor
My uncle was on one of these in '66-'68. He just passed. RIP uncle Bobby.
Rip I bet he was great
Grandads first enlistment in ‘59-‘61 was driving DUKWs in an amphibious transportation battalion up at Whittier. Lived in the Buckner building.
6:22 ah Letourneauo, the mad scientist of the massive snow trains
Someone put Calum on these things!
i just read that in his accent

Probably saw the same one when I was a kid in VA beach in the 1970’s. It was huge!
Come over to Singapore, LRAC V is use as a sightseeing ride city and river tours . Quite a sight in an urban setting.
The US has DUKWs as tour vehicles. I rode one out into Puget Sound years ago. Tragically, a couple have sank in a few places and led to fatalities during tours as well.
@@cm275those things are death traps. I was in doubt until I listened to the "Brick Immorter" series on them

I served at Ft. Story in VA in the early 2000s. The Transportation Battalion stationed there still had one of these.
Swimming truck? More like wheelded barge to me.
Trust me they were slugs to move. I was trained on them in the early 90s right before the Army phased them out.
The Army retired this thing, but hey, we're getting new PTs (again). That'll improve our lethality.
Its smaller cousin the LVTP-5 and the meaner LVTH-6 is absolutely bonkers in size. I think it carries like 20 men at once and then has a 105 howitzer on top.
Also used extensively by the ROC and PH Marines. Theyre ridiculous looking things lol
The gaps between the loaded and empty speeds is pretty small, that's really impressive.
The image did not convey just how big this boi was
Modernized versions of these vehicles would be great for national guard troops involved in flood disaster assistance.
I would love to see more information about large scale theater logistics. All of your logistics content is fantastic, keep up the good work!
Remember messing around with this in Snow Runner
oh LX like 60 in roman numerals. ok i get it now
Love how you added the container capacity of the LARC's~
Random thought but I dream of the day BO does long form content. A full hour of military knowledge being drilled into my brain would be amazing.

Kinda reminds me of the Marine transport from the Aliens movie
I ovulate whenever battle order posts 😊
There used to be two of the biggest ones abandoned near Portsmouth until about 10 years ago.
What a crazy machine! I wonder if any have been preserved anywhere.
Lmao at 3:00 I hear Bf2 ladders being climbed.
Very interesting!Thanks!
Thank you for that it makes my tour of duty at FT Story in the 309th seem important lol. great job thanx again.
My grandad drove DUKWs right before they got retired in the early 60s

There are two of these LARC 60s sitting in Tappahannock Virginia. They are so huge.
I would know more about this if they had just called it the Super-Duck.
You can see one of these monsters in a dutch military museum 😮 absolute bonkers of a machine 😳
I COULD see the Dutch the loving the crap out of this thing.
There’s one in the back lot of the National Guard station in Alvin, TX. Looks abandoned and probably been there for 20 years
You can see one in a museum in the Netherlands. Near Nijmegen and Arnhem.
I’ve seen one at a car museum in Nashville Tennessee
I saw one of these at the Overloon military museum in the Netherlands last year. I never knew such a beast existed😮
Hey in the national army museum here in the Netherlands we have one as well
They had one of these parked off one of the bridges in Tampa FL for a few years then they moved it.
RAHHH I LOVE LOGISTICS
BARC Speeder? No, BARC Tonka Truck :D
Incredible Vibe
Beautiful breakdown of a niche subsection of logistics
One of Your best videos proportionally
Such an amazing piece of raw Ability
Big and unwieldy and built to carry far more than itself
It’s a cute doctrine but pontoon bridges really do blow this out the water
…
That’s not a joke
I was always curious about these things.
Missed an opportunity to use Earl Sinclair for the "tree crusher" part.
2:23 bruh i’m out of here, Detroit is nuts bro, thoose engines gon stal the boat dawg 😭😭
This thing is awesome with excellent real-life scenario logistical capability. It was a mistake to phase out the vehicle without any proper replacement.
Making me think about the dixmude and its weird transporters as its descendants
Soviets: nuke deep water port.....
US: awesome, now it's an even bigger deep water port, thanks!
LeTourneau also created the massive Overland Trains. Legendary.
I love these things. I want to take one from Chicago to new Orleans via rivers.
I've seen one of these in person, there are a couple in virginia. Not sure what they are used for now
The amphibious transportation/truck driver school was at fort story. That’s where my grandad did AIT for his first MOS.
I was surprised how many humans needed to logistics actions
when I hear Barc I think about the Barc speeder from Star Wars that the republic had.
Near similar Soviet stuff: PTS

What units used gamma goats and how were they used?
Great video btw
Are we going to see us marine graphics? I can’t wait
would have been best friends with the M8 or MPF
where i live a marina bought two on them
Since we have the Booker light tank (that the army doesn't want to call a light tank) we should bring this vehicle back
6:25
TREE CRUSHER
Do they make them or is this a discontinued vehicle
I see a resemblance in the command structure for the new Marine Littoral Regiment, Force Design
We Marines still use the LCAC!!! It’s bigger!
So, it's BARC is worse than its bite,huh?
'first cavallry batalion'
there were horses in vietnam?
I can engineer LARC for 90 tons. Will not be too demanding in production
Can you make the Philippines army armor units?

We need them still, Navy cannot supply all the sealift capacity.

Nice try, you got it the completely wrong way around 😂
If we had these in ww2, would they have made an impact?
I think the lesson of Ukraine war is that an army needs a significant number of it’s transports of all sizes to be amphibious.
