DESCRIPTION
Originally introduced into service in 1966 as an amphibious off-road vehicle, the M561 Gama Goat was a six-wheeled truck consisting of a four-wheeled tractor and a two-wheeled carrier module. However, what really set it apart from other machines of its type was its use of a hinged articulation between the two modules, which allowed them to move independently of each other: a very useful skill when moving over rough terrain. The 14,000 Gamma goats produced by 1973 were used in various roles by both the US Army and the Marine Corps, and were used in the fighting in Grenada in 1983, although by the early 1990s production of Gamma goats was in significant decline. degree is discontinued. . The former half of its unusual nickname came from Roger Gamaunt, the designer of the hinged key, and the other half from his tenacious goat-like ability to overcome.
