Self-recovery anchor capstan kits were developed for the M151 and M35 military tactical wheeled vehicles. The kits consist of wheel-adaptors, wheel capstans, plastic fiber rope, and earth anchor. The kits are employed, in lieu of conventional vehicle winches, to recover the immobilized vehicle. The kits have these advantages: They are simple and thus likely to be available in working condition when needed; application of towing forces is lower and will usually have an upward component which lifts the vehicle; and self-emplacing anchor is included.
