Larry,
Our tankers, scouts, and infantry carried all kinds of stuff on the vehicles. MREs, water cans and boxes of water, rucks, ammo cans(used for storage) and ammo cans with ammo (7.62 and 50cal) were put anywhere we could as long as it did not interfere with the operation of the weapon systems, turret traverse, and visability. On M2/3s stuff would be strapped on to the side skirts, tied off to the handles. We had the flat MRE boxes, not the more square ones you see today. Hope that helps.

Thanks SFC. That's helpful information.
Quarter Cav -- spearhead of the Big Red One's assault into Iraq. Conqueror of the Highway. Are you stationed in Wurzburg?
You guys took on the Tawalkana Republican Guard, right? If you were in an M1A1 in Desert Storm, I'll paint up my kit as your tank. Or did Quarter Horse still have M1's in Desert Storm?
