The Scammell Commander was a heavy equipment transporter made by Scammell for the Royal Corps of Transport, a tank transporter of United Kingdom origin developed in the mid 1970s to succeed the Thornycroft Antar. It entered service in 1984, and 125 were built between 1983 and 1985, with the Royal Corps of Transport as the sole customer. Most were operated by 7 Tank Transporter Regiment with the British Army of the Rhine in West Germany, and only a few in the United Kingdom. They were used extensively in the Gulf War in the early 1990s, and all were replaced by Oshkosh M1070 transporters in the 2000s.
