@@halo64654 It was very futuristic. The center screen had great display. I was inside a German Gephardt an, to me, the icons in the Sgt York were easy to understand. In my opinion, it was great for SHORAD. The secret proximity round was (is) lethal. 40mm BOFORS are in use today in all kinds of Naval applications. In my humble opinion, the demise of this weapon system had in part to do with the chassis (M48) and the political climate of the time. In addition, SHORAD Air Defence was going through a lot of changes. Many systems came out in short order. The Army had choices, most of them greater than a slow running M48 based unit. The units it was designed to protect could run circles around it (M1 Abrams and Bradley Fighting Vehicle).
Wow I was a test mechanic on these vehicles on nightshift. Built them in Lake forest Ca. Then we field tested them off Ortega Hwy in San Juan Capistrano. They were really fun to drive. Wish I knew where it us. Really brings back memories.
That is amazing. I almost forgot all about the Sgt. York. I was in the Army back in the 80's when the big scandal hit about this thing being a colossal failure and how tests of the vehicles fire control system were faked and the other bad things we heard about it. I am surprised there are actually some of them left around. Thanks for posting this.
The tracked flatbed in between the two 2.5-ton trucks is an M-548. It is based on the M-113 armored personnel carrier. It is exactly what it looks like: a tracked "truck" that can go where wheeled trucks would get bogged down. They got used for all sorts of things, mostly combat resupply but also carried launchers for anti-personnel mines. There's a few still used in Reserve or Guard units but for the most part I *think* they've been removed from active duty service.
Yeah, I have to give a lot of credit to DJI who fixed the drone and had it back to me in about two weeks. I was missing the copter, it's a lot of fun to fly and take along. Thank you for your continued support and I am glad you enjoyed this video. :-)
Keep in mind that the army often using abandoned vehicles for target practicing, and that means there is a good chances that you find yourself under heavy fire while exploring things like this.
Please don't let history die. Photograph these abandon places you have been to. Submit them to National Geographic, tell them you stories. I am sure they will reply.

the truck you come to at 10:15 is a 5 ton troop carrier. the one before that one I haven't seen before but I think I also saw a deuce and a half troop carrier earlier. Most of the big trucks come from '42 & up. Leftover surplus from ww2 & Korea. I actually drove a '42 deuce and a half at Camp Casey, Korea back in '97. Right up until flames started shooting out from under the steering wheel! Loved the Army and I think everyone should do two years minimum to not only serve your country but your fellow man. The hell with the politicians, you fight for your neighbors, family-based friends!
wow i am shocked that those are still there, i would have thought someone would have picked up all of those vehicles, they are all super expensive, even if they are in bad condition.
Cool stuff. Keep enjoying . There are many places like this in SoCal . One "camp" stretched into Az . There are hazards besides live ordinance. Don't breath any rat dust, may transmit hantavirus. Pneumonia and death within a week. Be careful wear a dust mask in close spaces like mines, cabins, old vehicles. Watch for symptoms . I usually thump and rattle shade cover before entering things in the desert (vehicles , brush,etc) so the snakes can rattle back. But all that makes it living. Enjoy!
I share your fascination with these military vehicles, but the RV especially grabbed my attention as I could just imagine all the holidays and trips that were probably enjoyed in there, then how sad for it to end up as target practice. I have just come back from an amazing two weeks holiday in Corfu and there were loads of abandoned places out there but wasn't able to film any of them as had no room on my phone. I wish I had taken a spare SD card with me.
for all we know that bus held bad memories and bussed trafficked people in it or kidnapped victims! you just never know, ESPECIALLY on a military site. no one ever thinks about how or WHO the military tests their weapons and experiments on.
rerun5150 nah ...conspiracy realist. the problem with you people is this: you think anyone in the world is to be feared except your government. they got you twisted. you guys never question a fucking thing and its why they have gotten away with it for so long.
if I'm up on my Chevrolet truck history the bus may be anywhere from 36'-47. not to many changes occurred thru this era do to WWII. In fact the bus could be from after the government closed off the use of chrome during the war because of the need for metal for military use.
It's a 6x6x6. It can be 2 wheel, 4 wheel, or 6 wheel drive. I had one mine was a 60's model it ran on gas or diesel. It would probably run on kerosene or fuel oil. It would foul the spark plugs out. Had a straight 6 engine.
I'm retired from the Mil cool stuff. Great Vid. 2 of those are Duece and halfs, 2 1/2 ton transport trucks, the one is the center I think is gama goat veh.
The M548 is a tracked cargo carrier. It is based on the M113 armored personnel carrier, and was built by FMC Corp. at its San Jose, California, and Charleston, WV facilities. Service history In service 1960-present Used by Swiss Army
That's looks like all old military surplus that was decommissioned and probably resold to a collector who owns the land they are parked on. The military didnt leave that stuff.
Actually we do leave stuff out there in the middle of nowhere. And they do keep an eye on it, people cant just take it. I mean none of it works anyway but they still watch em and do exercises with stuff like this.
Fantastic explore!! I'm sure everyone commented what they are so I'm not gonna bother hehe. Keep up the great work always looking forward to the next one!
it can't be a firing range, not for artillery, mortars, or tanks. the area would be restricted cuz of unexploded ordinance that act like mines. no damage was on vehicles and engines looked intact. if anything, it was a training course for ground forces when approaching vehicles.
Explore With Us would you by chance know places in europe to potentially explore military vehicles and such, because i dont think there are much places for abandoned military stuff in the EU unfortunately
The yellow sticker inside the 2nd vehicle says Red River Army Depot, which is outside of Texarkana, Texas in the very northeast corner of the state. Red River is the border between Texas and Oklahoma. That vehicle traveled a long way to end up in the desert in Nevada. I also find it amusing that among the instructions on the door is a considerable amount of info about crossing bodies of water. I doubt they got much practice doing that, unless they were training during flash floods or something... ha!
I don't believe it, that van, its a 1940's Chevrolet camping van. Sadly, Chevrolet never made camping vans in that particular model so it was probably a school bus when it left the factory, then whoever picked it up turned it into a camping van. Here is a picture of what it most likely looked like: www.desertclassics.com/image5/Chev41busCamper1.jpg
The 2 & 1/2 ton trucks are M35A2 series made by General Dynamics and Jeep. They pretty much looked the same from the 1960's through at least the 1990's.
those two trucks are what we in the army call deuce and 1/2s (because they are rated to haul 2 1/2 tons of cargo. the camper was a Chevy bus from the 40's era I'm a huge car fan and I'm in the army so that is all I'm sure about
The tracked vehicle is a M548 tracked cargo carrier. It could also be a m730 Chaparral SAM launcher, with out the launcher. It is based on the m113 APC.
it reminds me of a atomic annie test site atomic annie was a large train pulled canon that fired neuclear rounds but the explosion was not as big as a regular nuke
only a few Sergeant York were made because of some design flaws. two of them are here in Fentress Co. Tennessee birth place of Sergeant Alvin C York. one is at the National Guard Armory the other is at the York home place in Pall Mall Tennessee.
They were great idea to take existing systems and parts that worked very well from other systems and make a whole new air defense system. Unfortunately none of the components would electronically talk to each other, It was a disaster...
Excellent video...you must be somewhere close to el paso..the track vehicle was used not only by the Army but as a UN vehicle. The 2 trucks are duece and a halfs...used by Army and Marines...The area in which i believe your in is a training ground for the Army. Which isnt very far from Fort Bliss. I trained with the Army there for Stinger. If there is someone else with better information then by all means correct me...Great video..keep up the wonderful job.
Sgt York was a self propelled anti-aircraft gun made to deploy with and protect tanks and APCs from helicopters and low flying aircraft. It was made with off the shelf tech but it never worked right and the program was canceled in 1985.
+Explore With Us, The tracked cargo vehicle looks like a M548 tracked supply vehicle. The two military trucks look like M35a2 2 1/2 ton cargo trucks. I know that another poster indicated that they looked more like 5-ton M939s. While this is possibility, I think you'd seem smaller against them than you are. Unless, of course, you are like 6'2" or so.
EWU, You Answered My Previous Vid Question About Posted locations, Yes the Loosers Who Do Vandalism & Even theft.. & Litter, too. & A Suggestion, If you Don't Do so Already, Take Powerfull field Glasses along & Always chech the Long Distance perimeter 2C If Your Being Watched. If you Stumble on Some Ones Secret (Illegal Stash Of What Ever?) Stash, rememeber Theres a lot Of Square miles out there you Could End Up Under! Yes I Know Highly Unlikely, But ALL It takes is ONCE 2B Once Too Many. & Yes the military leaves The Over-Tax-Paid Equipment Any Flippen Place it wants, it Never Gives itself a ticket for littering & They don't metal recycle(Remelt To ReUse) The metal Vehicles Either they just raise our taxes & Make new stuff... Your taxes People!!!! & Go Serach ALL The wasted BILLIONS They Indeed Waste.
It's unfortunate the Sgt. York was never put into mass production. We really do need a new SPAAG, relying on grunts with stingers or patriot systems really wouldn't cut it against an organized air or helo assault. We do have the linebacker, but not enough of them, plus the bushmaster is designed for use against infantry, not aircraft, and is not radar guided like the Sgt York.
could you go around all the tanks so its easier for nerds like me to find out and also i wrote a comment to the 2 atvs you found in the dead body thing but i can tell you its an aa variant of the m48 or 47 patton
It looks like you're walking around on a desert practice live fire range near Twenty Nine Palms.. This area is used as a practice range for trainee fighter pilots training out of Mira mar, Ca. The old junk your climbing around on are targets.. The area is also used to train Marine combat infantry units that are stationed at Twenty Nine Palms....
Thanks, I will see what I can do. :-) That's one of the reasons I do this, to preserver these places for future generations, even if it's just on video.
You guys better be careful with going close to those abandoned military vehicles. You might not be aware that there might be a live fire on going and one of those vehicles might be a target and too bad if you are near it!!! BOOM!!!
I live in Arab Saudi and there is abandoned U.F.O structure building which is unfinished cause of some reasons, one of them is they spotted weird figure in there and they closed it. One of the workers are one of my Dad's friend he was gonna work as a painter I recorded it while I was recording something else. If you are interested reply me.
Holy cow. I was assigned to the testing of the Sgt York at Ft Bliss in 1980-1981... Saw it firing. Needed a secret clearance just to get on the range.
Yeah. Me too. I was assigned to the S & F Bn. I remember the day the program was cancelled... We could not get in the vehicles after that.

Left behind from previous training, so many bases have been shut down. Good drive train though. Don't let it go to waste.

So true, we found a total of three out there.

I think its illegal because its government property

really nice, keep up the good work.
Wow! seems like you really like tank hunting huh? please do more, and yes only 50 produced. so extremely rare and most likely less than 20 surviving.
Oh yes the bus is cool , notice the chimney hole in the roof. It had a wood burning stove.
Nice, I didn't even notice that!
Everything is love.. everything is made from love. With out is it’s gray and no life.

could you go around all the tanks so its easier for nerds like me to find out and also i wrote a comment to the 2 atvs you found in the dead body thing but i can tell you its an aa variant of the m48 or 47 patton
Thanks, I will do so the next time I am out there. :-)
yes
its so sad to me seing this abandoned trucks and tanks. some one should take them and restore them... :-(
wow ... my dad help build and engineer those tanks. I'll share this video with him !
Thank you. :-)
Ive driven dueces and let me tell you they're both great and a pain both to drive and work on
It looks like you're walking around on a desert practice live fire range near Twenty Nine Palms.. This area is used as a practice range for trainee fighter pilots training out of
Mira mar, Ca. The old junk your climbing around on are targets.. The area is also used
to train Marine combat infantry units that are stationed at Twenty Nine Palms....
Barbusie you are not correct
Don't let history die. Photograph the area and the vehicles. Send them to National Geographic. Tell them your story
Thanks, I will see what I can do. :-) That's one of the reasons I do this, to preserver these places for future generations, even if it's just on video.
Imagine him flipping a switch and it automatically starts shooting shit like it did in the 1982 demonstration
Make sure Rick Grimes is not in that tank before you go in. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tanks for the video😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You guys better be careful with going close to those abandoned military vehicles. You might not be aware that there might be a live fire on going and one of those vehicles might be a target and too bad if you are near it!!! BOOM!!!
EndofUSA it's not a live fire range. Those are few miles down the road.
I live in Arab Saudi and there is abandoned U.F.O structure building which is unfinished cause of some reasons, one of them is they spotted weird figure in there and they closed it. One of the workers are one of my Dad's friend he was gonna work as a painter I recorded it while I was recording something else. If you are interested reply me.
Did you upload it?
No in this channel but I'll send it to you
I don't have a channel
I would love to have both those M35A2's those are the two trucks next to the tracked vehicle
gratulations on 14k subs man wish i had that many on my videos hahaha read to 50k :)
Looks kind of like an aircraft gunnery range. If there is an Air Force or Army base around that might be what it is.
very interesting video thanks for making it
Thank you Tammy. :-)
