CJ-10. Air Force started using them in the 1980's to replace the old industrial tractors used to move support equipment around the ramp. We called them Bob-tails. Their only real use is slow speed towing of light to medium weight equipment.

If I'm not mistaken, the tug is equipped with an I-6 diesel and D60 rear.
