What is the function of the M984 vehicle?

The M984 vehicle serves as an 8x8 10-ton wrecker, designed primarily for recovery operations on the battlefield. Its main function is to recover disabled vehicles, providing critical assistance in keeping combat operations running smoothly. The vehicle is equipped with a powerful winch and other recovery tools, enabling it to tow or lift heavy vehicles that may have gotten stuck or damaged. The capability to perform these recovery tasks is vital in LSCO, as it ensures that forces can maintain mobility and address logistical challenges in dynamic combat environments.

The design and features of the M984 also include off-road functionality, allowing it to operate in various terrains, which enhances its utility in large-scale operations where traditional recovery equipment may not be effective. This makes it an essential asset for maintaining combat effectiveness and minimizing downtime in a unit's operational capability.
