BOG BUSTERS

Abstract

Project BOG BUSTERS was an environmental operation conducted in Alaska during May and June 1962. The primary objective of the project was to determine the capabilities of selected tracked vehicles to traverse muskeg after the spring thaw. Delayed thawing attributed to unseasonal weather conditions precluded compilation of sufficient data to predict vehicle capabilities for traverse of this type terrain and recommendations were made that further investigations be conducted with the objective of improving transportation capabilities in organic terrain.
