The Militor truck, officially 3-ton truck, Ordnance Department Model 1918, was designed and built by the Militor Corporation for the United States Army Ordnance Department as a standardized four-wheel drive 3-ton truck and artillery tractor toward the end of World War I. With the end of the war, larger orders were cancelled and 75 were built, these being issued to the Artillery Corps.[1][2]
