There are a lot of them in Africa. Not sure but seem to recall the UN using them a lot. With no axle straight across from hub to hub, they have incredibly high clearance, great for deep mud and bad roads. I considered buying a used one several years ago for my bush rig but was concerned about getting parts for it.

One of the ways I take home from work, a guy has one. Bucket and all. Doesn't move much. Always been tempted to stop and see if he wants to get rid of it.
They are called a CEE Combat Engineer Excavator. Unimog is a generic term for a family of balloon tire vehicles similar to that of German design or manufacture.
Most CEE,s have the bucket taken off to be more maneuverable in restrictive terrian and only have the rear bucket for digging.
Get your crew served wpns postions IE 240,s and Javelins dug in 1st with them. Then if your lucky your plt cp hole Then onto indivual buddy team holes. Might as well be smoking dope outta a water bong hoping for all of that to happen 🤣🤣🤣 Good luck getting more than 6 to 8 hrs out of one max before it pukes hydro system wise. Every fuuuking time.....
If ya have a Hystru trailer and contact truck on site to support the thing hose fabrication wise and mechanical failure wise. They might be able to keep one working.
Never have seen either accompany a CEE when you are told you have engineer support to put in a defense .
Usually their is a collective groan when told you have CEE support to dig in. Then ya see the CEE drive up in your AO gawd knows when. And ya already been digging with pioneer tools for hours. The operator knows it is gonna puke eventually The Infantry guys know it is gonna puke eventually. And their are talks between the engineers and infantry about it.
Literally have seen Rock, paper, scissors between PL,s at opords and frago,s on which platoon is gonna get the CEE 1st. 🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣 This is how you feel when your PL doesn't win 1st with the CEE 😖😖😖
Because all 3 platoons leadership know which ever platoon gets it 1st might get their crewserved positions dug with it. Then it's gonna puke. Then it's Debbie Downer time when word spreads the CEE puked. Of course it did with the usual bitter laughing associated with it.
And you just keep on digging with you d handle and pick axe like normal.
Best thing that can happen to any CEE is they drive into a blast furnace and get made into d handle shovels and pick axes.
CEE,s are the ultimate false hope jedi mind fuuuk.....

Part of the reason I haven't stopped to ask. Looks cool but doesn't move much. I just don't know enough about them.
Yep, They have offset gear reduction portal axles under them. Guys that build uber-serious rock crawlers like to make their builds with them. But all they want are the axles.
I was at Lewis across our motor pool was the triple nickel Mp and they had a chit load of those thangs and they never moved. They are a mechanics nightmare as others said always breaking down. So what’s the best way not to have a deadline vehicle?? Easy don’t use it. Invasion of Iraq 2003 we saw them in action digging holes for piss tubes.
