Page "Military engineering vehicle" Paragraph 24

One of the major tasks of military engineering is crossing major rivers.

Several military engineering vehicles have been developed in various nations to achieve this task.

One of the more common types is the amphibious ferry such as the M3 Amphibious Rig.

These vehicles are self-propelled on land, they can transform into raft type ferries when in the water, and often multiple vehicles can connect to form larger rafts or floating bridges.

Other types of military ferries, such as the Soviet Plavayushij Transportyor-Srednyj, are able to load while still on land and transport other vehicles cross country and over water.
