#M548 AMMO CARRIER DRIVER#
I clearly recall pulling into the battalion support area one afternoon in Grafenwoehr to see a bunch of idiots see which 548 driver could jump a berm and go the furthest.

They're essentially a modified M113 which is pretty reliable and easy to use (as tracked vehicles go). I don't recall the 548's being any worse to maintain than other tracked vehicles. It was replaced with a carrier based on the M109 chassis Which was a much more liked ammunition carrier.

I've certainly never heard of such a thing. the m548 was used as a ammunition carrier in support of 155m and 203mm howitzers (possibly also 105mm ) what was the quantity of ammo carried 155mm rounds. M548s were found in heavy divisions, not light units, so wouldn't have been used with the 105mm howitzers – at least not in US Army. Every vehicle operates together with an ammo carrier, the M548 is commonly employed in this role. Not sure about how many 155 rounds the beast would carry, but the 155 rounds weighed 1/2 what the 8" rounds weighed, so probably no more than 96 rounds assuming the load didn't cube out, first. M110 is usually used by the divisional artillery. Throw in powder charges and fuses, you're over 5 tons, so 48 rounds is probably about right. The M548 was a 5 ton carrier, so 200 lbs/round x 48 rounds = 4.8 tons.

I served in an 8" (M110A2) battalion and IIRC, a full load was 48 rounds, eight pallets of six.
