. The Hover Truck and Command Vehicle is an all-purpose vehicle. It can carry troops, establish long-range communications, provide for intel & recon functions, as well as carry supplies. Here is a shot of a normal HTCV in the field, note the Antenna on the left side of the hull, and the seismic probe-arm on the right hand side of the vehicle behind the turret. The vehicle on the right belongs to the 7th team, and is seen just after the battle of Heathrow Airport, the mechanic in the photo is saying that the Ram plate in the front of the truck absorbed most of the damage, (from ramming a Gouf) and the truck should be fine. Above and to the left you see the seismic probe deployed into the terrain near a battlefield, the sensor is operated from the Seismic Wave monitoring station pictured on the right, several wave patterns have been found to identify different Mobile Suits in the field.
