High mobility engineer excavator. Pretty cool device. And then you see the numbers operated per army.. the US has "a few".

Damn thats a lot lol

Interestingly though, it says germany only has 7, but this article says they are sending 6 so I'm assuming the Wikipedia is outdated.

Or they bought a few to send. Or they bought others and are sending theirs.
