Mack supports the Military

Mack is proud of its history and support of the military. From the green fields of Europe to the sands of the Middle East, Mack has played a vital role in our military's successful history. Mack's famous "Bulldog" nickname was started during WWI by the British Tommys who, when facing daunting terrain, would yell, "Send in the Mack Bulldogs." Mack continues to answer the call today with reliable trucks that deliver superb performance in even the most severe environments and over the toughest terrain.

Highlighted below are examples of how Mack Military trucks have aided U.S. troops throughout history:

• Mack begins its storied support in 1911 with the U.S. War Department.
• The first Mack AC Model rolls out of the factory in 1915.
• In 1916, Mack builds an armored truck for the first Armored Motor Truck Battery of the New York State National Guard.
• In 1918, our AC trucks earn the Bulldog moniker from the British soldiers for their tenacity on the battlefields of Europe.
• In 1919, the U.S. Army completes a cross-country trek over the Lincoln Highway route driving Mack AC trucks to promote road-building efforts. Future president Dwight D. Eisenhower was in this convoy.
• In 1942, all manufacturing efforts focus on building trucks to support the war effort. Mack receives the Army-Navy E Award for outstanding war equipment production.
• In 1955, the Mack M123 model becomes the army's 10-ton prime mover and provides decades of support to the military.
• In 2006, Mack partners with VSE Corporation and Forschler & Associates to transform its Granite® model into an armored military line haul tractor prototype, offering maximum protection in the most unforgiving environments.
