Em 1949, o Exército dos EUA estabeleceu um requisito para uma família de caminhões táticos off-road extra pesados de 10 toneladas (9.072 kg) de carga off-road de 6×6. Mack’s design, influenced by their WWII era NO, was chosen. Designed as an entire family, only the semi-tractor and cargo/prime mover were built. 392 M123s were built between 1955 and 1957 and 552 M125s in 1957 and 1958. In 1965 CONDEC began building 3188 diesel powered M123As, Mack began building 420 in 1968. In 1969 Mack then upgraded 210 gas engine models to diesel power. With the Army using more self‑propelled artillery, the need for prime movers was reduced, no follow‑up orders for M125s were made. Both M123s and M125s saw service in the Vietnam War. M123 tractors remained in Army service into the 1990s.

It is a 10-ton 6×6 truck that can haul up to 60,000 pounds of cargo or tow up to 85,000 pounds of trailers. The M123 Truck is powered by a Mack ENDT-673 turbocharged diesel engine that produces 255 horsepower and 745 pound-feet of torque. The truck has a five-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case that allows it to operate in either high or low range. The truck also has a power steering system and air brakes for improved maneuverability and safety.
O caminhão M123 foi usado pelo Exército e Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais dos Estados Unidos para vários fins, como transporte de peças de artilharia, munição, combustível e pessoal. O caminhão também era capaz de montar um guindaste, um guincho ou uma quinta roda para tarefas especializadas. O caminhão M123 foi implantado em vários conflitos, como a Guerra da Coreia, a Guerra do Vietnã e a Guerra do Golfo. O caminhão também foi exportado para vários países aliados, como Canadá, França, Israel e Coreia do Sul. O caminhão M123 acabou sendo substituído por modelos mais novos, como o M911 e o M1070 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET).
