The diesel engine powered Truck, Tactical, 10-Ton, 8X8, MAN, was manufactured in the 1980s by MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group, MAN AG, Germany. The MAN 8x8 was dedicated to the transport and support of the Pershing II tactical missile and the Gryphon Ground Launched Cruise Missile. The Ground Launched Cruise Missile, or GLCM, (officially designated BGM-109G Gryphon) was developed as a ground-launched variant of the Tomahawk missile in use by the U.S. Navy. Unlike other variants of the Tomahawk, the GLCM carried only a W84 thermonuclear warhead; no conventional capability was provided. Despite initial fears of greater instability, the deployment of GLCM ultimately caused Soviet leaders to enter into negotiations for, and finally signature of, the INF treaty. GLCM was removed from Europe beginning in 1988, and over the next three and a half years all units were transported to Davis Monthan AFB and destroyed or converted into displays.
