The Army is planning one of its largest sales of used Defence vehicles.
As part of a shake-up to the way the Defence Department gets rid of unwanted military equipment, 12,000 Army vehicles will be on offer.
However it is not an offer open to the general public.
Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare wants Australian industries to come up with ideas on how the vehicles could be used and apply to buy them.
It is expected the non-combat vehicles will include Land Rovers, trailers, Unimogs, trucks and truck-mounted cranes.
The disposal of the vehicles will run until 2020 and organisations are asked to register their interest with the Defence Force.
The Defence Department hopes to follow the UK model in which decommissioned non-combat military equipment is sold to industry and the money is re-invested in new equipment.

Ohh - I am sorry. I did a search on Unimog before I posted.... But didn't see any matches from the last day or so.
