I remember in the mid-70s there were thousands (it seemed like) of the critters in the motor pools fronting Gruber Road down in the Division Area. You'd have 4/5 mules and a conex, 4/5 mules and a conex on and on down the road. Same with the Goats. If you were in the field and riding with the enlisted you were in the back of a goat. Also they had tons of jeeps.

It was like one day in the early 80s and poof, they were all gone. It was now the age of the Hummer.

Now days it's getting harder and harder to see a 2 1/2 ton. Ft Bragg has all the slick 4x4s running around.
