This is the Group G series List of the United States military vehicles by (Ordnance) supply catalog designation, – one of the alpha-numeric "standard nomenclature lists" (SNL) that were part of the overall list of the United States Army weapons by supply catalog designation, a supply catalog that was used by the United States Army Ordnance Department / Ordnance Corps as ...
The following is a (partial) listing of vehicle model numbers or M-numbers assigned by the United States Army. Some of these designations are also used by other agencies, services, and nationalities, although these various end users usually assign their own nomenclature.
The FV434 is the Armoured Repair Vehicle variant of the British Army's FV430 series of armoured fighting vehicles.Introduced in the 1960s primarily as a means of quickly changing Chieftain MBT power packs in the field, it is operated by the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME).
