I drives the Gamma Goat.

When the Gamma Goat needs mo gas.

I gets some mogas.

Actual briefing from a PFC to a group of VIPs.

Didn’t they have something even smaller for hauling mortars and stuff? I can’t remember what they were called. I think they had a small Briggs & Stratton type engine.

Centurion,

Nice little ditty about the late, and as far as I am concerned, unlamented, Gamma Goat. However, I take one issue with it. I never hear of a Gamma Goat running on mogas, only on modiesel. ;-)

I will admit that I have bought Tamayia’s model of it to build for my collection, with a hooch on trailer to represent our jump FDC vehicle we used for split battery operations in 2-27FA in Germany in the 1970s. The battalion had six and later eight M-109A1s per battery.
