During Mountain Training Exercise 1-25 (MTX 1-25) at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) in Bridgeport, California, Marine Corps personnel were seen utilizing Tucker-Terra Model 1600 Sno-Cats.

These unique all-terrain vehicles, with their distinct design, have long been part of the Marine Corps’ training and emergency operations toolkit, yet continue to draw attention due to their unconventional appearance.

MTX 1-25 is designed to prepare Marine Corps units for cold-weather, high-altitude operations. The exercise focuses on survival skills, strengthening expeditionary warfare tactics, and building confidence in navigating mountainous terrain. The Tucker Sno-Cats play a vital role in supporting these missions by providing reliable transportation in extreme snow conditions.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
