Yes, HMMWVs Can Get Stuck
HMMWV is the military acronymn that stands for High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle. Commonly known as a "Humvee". Contrary to popular belief, HMMWV's are not invincable and able go "anywhere". SSgt Michael Huntington's shop borrowed some HMMWVs for training. They all got a little more training than was bargained for. Below is the result of an inexperienced driver challenged with driving conditions other than a hard-packed surface, aka MUD.
The view from the front of the vehicle with the camera near the ground. notice the HMMWV is axle deep in mud and the bottom of the chassis is resting on the ground (High-Centered).
The whole picture with everyone trying to decide what to do next...
A close up of the front wheel on the driver's side. Just a sampling of all four tires.
