The Belgians used British-made Sultans as battery command vehicles:
And a pair of Spartans would've served each M109 battery as Forward Artillery Observer (FAO) vehicles:
I quite like the yellow vehicle numbers on the sides of the Spartans, so I've "extrapolated" the idea to the other vehicles too. I think in future, all Belgian tracked vehicles that I do will have yellow numbers.
as I can find no evidence that Belgium ever acquired any M548's. However, since I have no real use for this battery at the moment and because I go through quite a lot of Unimogs (Danes, West Germans, etc used them too), I'll not commit scarce resources (six Unimogs) to these Belgians until I find a need for them. Whenever that happens, then I'll make up the ammunition supply stands.
Ok, more from me over the long Fourth of July holiday weekend!
