Abstract	The Wheeled Versus Tracked Vehicle Study was performed by the HQ TRADOC Studies and Analysis Activity in response to a tasking from HQDA ODCSOPS (DAMO-FD). The purpose of the study was to conduct an analysis of the factors used in developing wheeled and tracked vehicle requirements and to lay the foundation for development of specific criteria upon which to base future vehicle requirements decisions. The study team made extensive use of existing data and examined the wheels versus tracks issue from the following perspectives: engineering and design, mobility, cost, and foreign trends. The final report is presented in briefing format and contains the main briefing, answers to specific questions contained in the original tasking message and backup material supporting the conclusions contained in the main briefing.
