The First DEUCES Are "On The Ground".

Abstract

The first two Deployable Universal Combat Earthmovers (DEUCE) were delivered to USAES in January 1999. DEUCE provides the Army with an unprecedented combination of self-deploy and earthmoving capabilities. It is rubber-tracked, capable of speeds up to 30 mph, and has the dozing capability of the D5 dozer currently fielded. It is equipped with an enclosed climate controlled cab that allows optimal performance from a less-fatigued operator. DEUCE will begin fielding to light infantry and combat engineers in May 1999, and will continue through 2002.
