I was assigned to OPM-SANG during Desert Storm, attached to the King Abdul Aziz Motorized Rifle BDE of the Saudi National Guard (SANG) as an adviser at Al Khafji. SANG's vehicles were 1960's era Cadillac-Gage V-150s. Rubber tires, 3/8" mild steel plate and ours, anyway, were still gasoline burners. And burn they did.

I had heard that SANG went with the Bradley after Desert Storm.

I knew a guy who was a U.S. adviser to I believe that exact unit. Definitely was the Cadillac-Gage armored cars. I remember him telling a story about an encounter with Yemeni T-72s in a border clash. I think that would have been before your time?
