| - | An interesting note on the label ‘Additional 600” is that a lot of people out there assumed that “additional” meant “over and above entitlement’. Several queries have already been received at the Directorate of Land Requirements to the effect, “How do I get some of those additional new ILTIS you’re buying?” The answer as pointed out earlier, is that you don’t, unless you are one of those previously destined to end up with a Tonka Toy. So, for want of a better name, the Additional 600 will now join the Original 1,900 to became the new fleet of 2,500 ILTIS 1/2 ton trucks...which is what we asked for in the first place! | + | An interesting note on the label “Additional 600” is that a lot of people out there assumed that “additional” meant “over and above entitlement’.

| - | A RAN-D test of initial production vehicles is, in fact, a scientific experiment where a test sample of vehicles is selected at random from a production line and subjected to the environment in which the vehicle must survive after it is introduced to the field. During the test all the support training, manuals, special tools and test equipment available were employed to evaluate them before introduction. During the test the vehicles performed the mission for which they were designed, over the types of terrain they will experience. They were driven by non-trade drivers (male and female), regular force and militia from various units in Canada. The purpose of the test was to determine if the vehicles could meet the RAM-D specifications, | + | A RAM-D test of initial production vehicles is, in fact, a scientific experiment where a test sample of vehicles is selected at random from a production line and subjected to the environment in which the vehicle must survive after it is introduced to the field.

| Spare engines and spare transmissions for the ILTIS are referred to as ‘“dressed-up engines and dressed-up transmissions.” An engine or a transmission from its metal container is completely dressed and ready to be installed in the vehicle. This will permit quick removal and replacement of engines and transmissions under adverse field conditions. | Spare engines and spare transmissions for the ILTIS are referred to as ‘“dressed-up engines and dressed-up transmissions.” An engine or a transmission from its metal container is completely dressed and ready to be installed in the vehicle.
