Valokuvagalleria M88A2 Herkuleen talteenottoajoneuvo, The M88 Recovery Vehicle is one of the largest armored recovery vehicles (ARV) currently in use by United States Armed Forces. There are currently three variants, the M88, M88A1 and M88A2 HERCULES (Heavy Equipment Recovery Combat Utility Lifting Extraction System). The M88 series has seen action most noticeably in the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent during the Kosovo War, where they were deployed to help recover heavy armored vehicles of the Allied ground units. The current M88A2 replacement cost is around US$2,050,000. The M88A2-ym. on hieman edeltäjiään suurempi (8,6 x 3,7 x 3,2 m verrattuna 8,3 x 3,4 x 3,2 metriin), joten huippunopeus (40 km/h) ja huomattavasti alempi tiealue (322 km verrattuna 450 kilometriin) säilyy. Myös jarrutus ja ohjaus ovat parantuneet. Lisäksi M88A2 on päivittänyt panssarisuojan, mukaan lukien panssaroidut raidalliset hameet ja applikoidut panssaripaneelit, joita molemmista aiemmista malleista puuttuu. M88:sta puuttuvat myös ydin-, biologiset, kemialliset (NBC) puolustukset ja savunäyttögeneraattori, jolla myöhemmät M88A1- ja M88A2-mallit on varustettu. Lisäksi miehistön määrä on laskenut 5:stä 3-4:ään 3:een sarjan kautta.
