The M88A1, Full-Tracked, Medium, Recovery Vehicle is designed for towing, hoisting, and winching.  It is equipped to assist in repairing disabled vehicles under general field conditions. Recovery of medium and light combat vehicles is the M88A1’s main purpose. The Mech’s M88A1 is a recent acquisition made possible by the generous support of 1st Tank Battalion, 1st Marine Division.  Our M88 was rescued by museum volunteers just before it was to be taken out as a live-fire range target.  Now running well and fully operational, it is waiting it’s turn to enter the paint booth for a 4 color desert camo scheme in order to match our M60A3.

Update: The painting and stenciling are completed!
