Standard trafficability and special tests with 21 military vehicles conducted at 5 locations to determine correlation of slope-climbing and towingforce data, effects of tire size, traction devices, tire treads and wheel load, vehicle performance on honeycomb sand, and trafficability on gravel beaches; test results indicated that maximum towing force of self-propelled wheeled vehicles on level sand was about 2% greater than maximum slope negotiable, and that performance on wet sand that tended to liquefy under vehicle load was similar to that on fine grained soils.
