Trucks built for armies to move troops, guns and supplies over rough ground, including the six-wheel trucks of the Second World War and today's heavy tactical trucks.

Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
