Stoll, Chief, Obstacle-Vehicle Studies Section. Design and execution of the testing (conducted in June 1968) were under the direct supervision of Mr. J. L. Decell, Obstacle-Vehicle Studies Section. Data reduction and preparation of plates and tables were accomplished by Mr. T. D. Hutto under the direction of Mr. Decell, who performed the data analysis and prepared this report. This is Report 3 of a series entitled "Mobility Exercise A (MEXA) Field Test Program."* The others are as follows: Report 1, "Summary"; Report 2, "Soft-Soil Performance of the MEXA Test Beds"; Report 4, "Performance of the MEXA and Three Military Vehicles in Selected Natural Terrains." Directors of the WES during the conduct of this study and preparation of this report were COL John R. Oswalt, Jr., CE, COL Levi A. Brown, CE, and COL Ernest D. Peixotto, CE.
