This document describes the procedures for determining power losses attributable to the suspension system of tracked vehicles, and the braking effect available for descending grades, by measuring vehicular resistance to towing. (Results from sand course testing are directly comparable; results from testing in fine grained soils require a correlation study. Keywords: Combat weight, Normal payload, Pved course, Sand course, Soft soil course, Towing speed.
