Back when I was with the 7th Infantry Division (Light) 83-96, our engineers used them in support of us.

Our supporting combat engineers used something called a SEE (Small Emplacement Excavator I believe). Pretty cool rig, a small truck with a backhoe attachment on the front. I'd love to see a nice kit of it.

For some reason I saw a picture of this thing in Desert Storm and just loved it.
Has this tank changed much visually from Desert Storm to now?
