Prior to 1993, the U.S. Army employed the Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter (C-HET), which consisted of either the M746 or the M911 truck tractor and the M747 semitrailer.

The M746 was an 8×8, 221⁄2-ton tractor built by Ward LaFrance from 1975 to 1977. Approximately 125-185 were built. The lift axle, 8×6, Oshkosh M911 superseded the M746 after 1977.

During operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm the M911 vehicles were employed primarily to haul M1 Abrams tanks. However, they demonstrated poor durability when loads exceeded 60 tons. Some are still serving as heavy transports of other military equipment, such as cargo handling equipment.
