What vechiles/armour were used in the movie Jarhead? I saw the movie and there was a breif scence with a m1a1 or a m1a2. What was used and has any modeled any of the vechiles used.
m1a1,duce and a half,hummvee
Haven’t seen the movie, but do know which vehicles were used in ODS.
USMC used mostly M60A1 tanks, they had one Bn worth of M1A1s and a Bn worth of M60A3s on loan from the Army, and one Army BDE out of Germany (2nd Tiger BDE,3ID) supporting them. USMC did not own any of their own M1A1s at that time.
Other USMC vehicles in ODS: M1025 HMMWV, M998 HMMWV, M1038 Heavy HMMWV, M151A2 MUTT, LVTP7-A1 Amtrak, LVTP7-C command post vehicle, LVTR7 recovery vehicle, M923/925 5-ton truck, M800 5-ton truck, M35A2 2 1/2 ton truck, LAV-25, LAV-AT (TUA), LAV-C command post vehicle, M198 towed howitzer, M110A2 SP howitzer.
Pretty much most modern vehicles that are still around today. No M1A2s though, they were not fielded till the late '90s, and are not used by the USMC.
The brigade supporting the USMC was the 1st “Tiger” Brigade, 2nd Armor Division from Ft. Hood (later became the 3rd “Greywolf” Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division).
Anybody want to do a Jarhead themed group build some time? With vechiles used in Jarhead. Or even better scale model of the vechiles as seen in the movie.
Yup, thought I might have had my units mixed up. Now it is all clear. I was in 3rd Greywolf BDE of 1 CAV as well. I should have known better and remembered that. Guess that is what happens when you attempt to type on only half a cup of coffee.
