Does anyone know if the US Army uses(ed) the CATERPILLAR D5G XL Track-type Tractor and 420E Backhoe Loader? And if so what color and markings? |

I know they use the D9R, link I see a few Norscot scale models of the one you are looking for, link they seem to be done up in the normal CAT colors though… |

Thanks Ravenseye. Those are the ones I have in my collection. I was wondering they could be used as military versions  . |

D5? No, I think the *smallest* Cat in the Army inventory is a D7. |

Thanks monongahela. Looks like no D5G XL Track-type Tractors. But yes to using 420E Backhoe Loaders currently. |
