Formulas for computing mobility indexes (MI) and converting them to vehicle cone indexes (VCI), or minimum soil strength required for 50-pass go-no go, for current military wheeled and tracked vehicles are reported; subsequent trafficability tests with vehicles having construction-equipment-type tires showed that computed VCI did not agree closely with test results; to obtain data to determine whether MI formula for self-propelled wheeled vehicles needed modification, field tests were run with small vehicles equipped with large, high-flotation tires, very large vehicles with very heavy wheel loads, and few conventional vehicles.
