This being Veterans Day, I would like to take a moment to thank all past and present US veterans for their sacrifice and willingness to serve our country.

In observance of Veterans Day, we have put together a new article that highlights the 101st Airborne, currently serving in Iraq, and their use of the 6.2/6.5 HMMWV.

War in the Desert
& the 6.2/6.5 HMMWV
By Jim Bigley & John McNeil

For the first time in the history of warfare, troops can communicate via the Internet with the home folks, and can access important online resources. This article was made possible by members of The Diesel Page serving with the 101st Airborne, currently positioned near Mosul, Iraq. We thought our readers might be interested to learn more about the 6.2/6.5 powered HMMWV and the diesel maintenance challenges encountered in the desert.
