Those KME engines have lived on longer than I thought they would. If memory serves me right, they are powered by an agricultural Cat C9. They weren’t very good motors.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard the squad roll in the couple years I’ve been listening to their traffic. The new truck look sharp, really like the new vehicle editions over the past year. Any idea what the setup is in the back of the battalion 1 vehicle? Does it have a slide out?

Michael,
The squad I believe is only dispatched on TRT related runs and the new Truck 181 has been delivered, won’t be in service till June 10th-ish
