The U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum's M274 A2 Mechanical Mule was manufactured in 1967 and came from Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow in California. The nomenclature for this vehicle is: “Truck, Platform, Utility, 1/2 ton 4x4” or "Carrier, Light Weapons, Infantry, half ton 4x4”. It is also known as the "Military Mule".

Meet "Daisy". Daisy is a 1942 Chevrolet G-506 1-1/2 ton 4x4 truck. Motor Sergeant Dave and volunteers Larry G. and Randy went to Killen, Alabama and brought back the latest addition to the museum's motor pool. Daisy was donated to the Museum by the McGee family. The truck has quite a history. It was purchased at a surplus sale in 1946 at Brookley Field in Mobile, Alabama by WWII veteran Almon McGee.  After many years being used on the family farm in 2006 the McGee’s decided to restore the truck.  It is on display now at the Museum

Most commonly known as the "deuce and a half" or "Jimmy" the 2 1/2 ton 6x6 U.S. Army cargo truck was arguably one of the more important pieces of equipment during World War II.

One of the many iconic vehicles in our collection at the U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum is our M3A1 half track.
