I have photo taken in 1990 of a DRMO yard in Germany. The yard is full of M16 halftracks that have just been released by the French government, but they are still owned by the U.S.. The halftracks had been through rebuilds, so they are complete, new tires, tracks, and they ran. My friend who sent me the photo said there were 900 halftracks in the yard (I will have to check that number when I look at the photo again). Some of the best halftracks were pulled out to be parade (change of command, pass and review) vehicles. all the rest were to be sent to the tank range in Germany.
