History: The Long Range Desert Group was formed in 1940 to conduct deep-penetration reconnaissance and strike missions in the North African desert. The Chevrolet 30cwt truck, with its extended range and load capacity, became their mainstay vehicle. Outfitted with multiple machine guns, extra fuel tanks, and specialised navigation equipment, it played a crucial role in disrupting Axis supply lines and gathering intelligence in some of the most inhospitable terrain of the war.
