Everybody knows the Jeep. Almost 650.000 of them were used during World War 2, and wherever US troops went, the Jeep accompanied them.
Nobody really knows why the Jeep is called "Jeep". One plausible and popular theory is that it derives from Ford's designation for the vehicle, "GP". There might be a connection to a character from the contemporary Popeye comic books!
General George Marshall, Chief of Staff during the war, called the Jeep "America's greatest contribution to modern warfare." Right from the start, the vehicle had a major impact and it was not unusual to have fleets of fifty to sixty jeeps roaming the Western desert hunting Rommel's forces.
The Jeeps served in any role imaginable, including as weapon carriers for machine guns and even as portee with 37mm guns, there was a British Jeep Wasp armed with a flamethrower and the US used Bazooka-Jeeps with improvised armor in the Ardennes. As one war journalist put it: "It does everything. It goes everywhere. It's as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule and as agile as a goat. It constantly carries twice what it was designed for, and still keeps on going."
Our Jeeps are painted in the same colors as all the other vehicles, and loaded up with some extra supplies. They will serve your officers well on the battlefield!
Tomorrow, we will have more Airborne soldiers ready for you.
