    time line

    like the g wagons, the time line for replacement is getting longer and longer. i wouldnt have thought the unimog would have been replaced in the next 5 years. I dont think a replacement is even named and you would have a time line of at lest 5years to turn them over.

    Don't forget, some of the mogs are pushing 30 years old... some of the ones I drove felt like it too... buyer beware.
    I can't remember how now, but I know you can trace which unit the mog came from prior to purchase. Look for the larger units, like a BASB (Base Administrative Support Battalion) (not infantry or artillery!) The rear echelon units are bigger, more mogs, more mechanics, more beurocrats ensuring they are kept up to standard. nothing against the grunts and gunners, but geez they drive 'em hard!
