 | Every tank column was followed by an Entpannungspanzer 56 (Centurion ARV). |
 | Panzergrenadiers (tank hunters) used the British Universal Carrier T16 as their main transport. Over 300 units were bought.
|
 | To avoid damage to the ground and to train the soldiers in tank defense, Mowag developed a purpose built dummy tank, the so called "Panzerattrappe". Built between 1954-62 and had a crew of 2, could carry another 6 on top. |

 | A Saurer or Berna 4x4 is towing a boattrailer beloning to the sappers. |
 | The Saurer M6 (6x6) had a very powerful winch and could get himself out of trouble. |

 | The combination of "Super Atlantic + Trailer + Centurion" had a weight of approx. 107tons. Those heavy transports were always attended by military police. |

The pic was published like that. |
