摘要: | The Barge Amphibious Resupply Cargo, better known as the BARC (pictured at top), is one of the nearly 100 macro artifacts at the Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The Korean War identified the need for an improved amphibious vehicle. General Frank Besson, a Transportation Legend, advocated for large capacity vehicles capable of operating in inclement weather. Pacific Car and Founder Company teamed with LeTourneau Inc. to build the first prototypes in the early 1950s. |
