Close enough Paul. It is an AT-802L Longsword, a derivative of the civilian version used for agriculture management and crop spraying amongst other things.

The example at this year’s FIA was bristling with weapons including rockets, guided missiles, Paveway LGB’s and mini gun.

That is the direction I was thinking in, mainly because of the downward-sloping fuselage forward of the windshield that you often see on crop-dusters, but I didn’t put enough effort into finding out what it might be.
What's behind these three stooges?
US stonecrusher?

Arrrrgh! I think I’ve found a picture of it and the caption is....
Soldiers of the 1321st operating heavy machinery....it really doesn’t help...

I'd go with Tims stonecrusher!
It's got a conveyor out the side of it and there's a pile rocks in the background... maybe crushing to make cement?

Funnily enough, in the bigger picture I found it looks a bit like a pipe layer because there’s a big boom to the left of the image

It looks like some kind of grader. Are they road-making I wonder.
Could be a concrete factory with a delivery boom?
Sorry guys. I was visiting family in NY. Tim has it at stone crusher. 2nd stage of US Army Rock Crushing Plant actually. 1st stage (in background) makes big rocks into smaller & feeds 2nd (both are constructed as trailers) stage that makes gravel. Didn't think you'd tumble that fast. PaulE

Hi Paul
I think you made a diorama of that set up didn’t you?
I’ll try to think of something overnight....listening to vinyl at the moment, something I don’t do often enough.....
Cheers
Tim
