Japanese Heavy Army Recovery Vehicle (HARV) Spotted on Santa Monica, California Interstate-10 Highway


I have not confirmed this story from THELABVIRUS.COM, but it is interesting nonetheless. Why are Japanese military vehicles being transported across American highways?

Hi everybody,

I feel like I need to pass this along to ya’ all. I know, I know ~ WE DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. Bless Ryan, this is exactly what he told me as well (More on this un momento). He sent/email this photo to me of a convoy that he passed on his way home after his fire shift ended this morning. He told me he see’s some of this stuff routinely (because he lives by the Marine Base at 29 Palms). But, he said this convoy shocked him and was upsetting to him. So, he slowed down from his usual 80 mph race pace to a crawl, in order to get this very clear photo on his Blackberry. I can clearly see why he was upset. His mind is still working, it’s still connected to reality.

This particular convoy of 4+ massive trailers of war equipment, was hauling what appears to be ‘Chinese’ military personnel transports. How’d ya know ? Well, I’m not a rocket scientist or anything but, there’s Chinese or at least asian numerics and writing all over the thing(s) [see photo below, front of vehicle by it's headlight -it's actually Japanese], along with also what appears to be a UN or European or NATO Plate. (Brett can do a search on this, he’s the search bomb!)

Ryan and I talked about if for about half an hour today and this is when he told me he was shocked and upset, and this is where he shared with me once again, “you know me dad, I don’t like to talk about this stuff”. I can’t blame him, after just getting married and wanting to have babies n stuff. We went on to chat about pre-positioning warfare. The only way any real effort at occupation can be implemented. He agreed, after sharing with me he had recently read the famous chinese general ‘One Hung Lo’s, book on ‘The Art of Warfare’. This is the ONLY conclusion any reasonable mind could come to. Unless that is, the military is more fascinated than the ‘civilians’ (at Wal-Fart) with Chinese made crap. Not likely!

I told Ryan, I don’t want to talk about this shit (scuze me) either, but WE MUST! I don’t feel any better than anyone else who wants to live in denial, that America is about ready to get her entire clock not just cleaned, but gutted. Yet for the most part, it’s so hard to even conceive of the fact that anything other than our clocks will keep on ticking indefinitely, is even a possibility. To each his own I guess.

Anyway, here’s Ryan’s photo (see above):


The below information is taken from the Oshkosh HARV webpage regarding the HARV:

The Heavy Army Recovery Vehicle (HARV), built on Oshkosh Defense’s PLS truck and trailer system, quickly and efficiently retrieves heavy armored vehicles from any tactical environment.

Incorporating the U.S. Army’s existing and proven assets of the PLS and the Tru-Hitch system, The Heavy Army Recovery Vehicle improves the Army’s recovery and maintenance capabilities without having to introduce a new vehicle platform.


Specifically engineered to address the Army’s needs in situations where self- and like-vehicle recoveries are not feasible, The HARV, with its integrated crane can overturn vehicles, perform slope recoveries and extract vehicles mired in water, mud, sand and snow. Lift and tow operations are performed by a fifth wheel device that can also be engaged into a high mobility trailer for evacuation of completely immobilized vehicles.


Engineered and designed to tow most types of armored wheeled vehicle systems and their variants, The HARV is the future of recovery for the U.S. Army.
