during the Iraqi retreat from Kuwait during Desert Storm,
this is what I was operating:
He was on a berm providing overwatch security for us, we never actually met in person, but he recognized the ACE I was in as we headed for the mine belt.
Basically a dozer on steroids.

I may have a picture of you- at least in the ACE. I snapped a shot of one approaching the first belt.
I was about 100m to starboard laying on a berm with my 16, right behind me was a open back hummer with a Mk 40 mounted on a homemade contraption like the Rat Patrol. We had the seabees reinforce the cargo deck and build pintles so we could mount heavy weapons to our vehicles.

Thank you and everyone here for their service, whether or not they saw the elephant.
