2 1/2 ton off road, 5 ton on road was the official load cap. I don't know of any active units that had them past the early 90s.

Basically they took the 5 tons from the units closing down and reissued them to the units staying. They cut the Army from 800,000 to 400,000.

Tracked vehicles like tanks and APC's got rebuild at 5k miles.
