Am building a Trumpeter M1132 Stryker ESV,does anyone know what the two units are that are on the back rear corners of the vehicle

2

They are a lane marking system to mark a cleared lane through a mine field. There are poles with flag on top in the boxes that get dropped and stick in the ground at intervals as the ESV clears a lane. Between the flags is the cleared lane for other vehicles to follow.

Gino, were those things referred to as CLAMS at one time? T. Ellis

There was a similar sytem fitted onto the back of Abrams plow tanks that were known as CLAMS (Clear LAne Marking System). The Abrams CLAMS used chalk and flags. I guess it is similar. I have not heard it called CLAMS w/Stryker ESVs though.
