Editing Steyr-Puch Haflinger (section)

==Military use==

Approximately 7,000 Haflingers were recruited into military service by the [[Switzerland|Swiss]], [[Austria]]n and [[Australia]]n armies and the Royal Navy. Small numbers were also in use in [[State of Katanga|Katanga]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Congo]] in the 1960s.

In [[Australian Army]] service the 46 Haflinger vehicles were each equipped with a dedicated trailer unit.<ref>REMLR Army Registration Number list http://www.remlr.com/ARN/ARNs_haflinger.php</ref> Haflinger were often allocated to [[RAEME]] units where typically an individual craftsman, like artillery artificers, would use the vehicle to carry tools and other equipment around the field attending to technical servicing of weapons platforms and fighting vehicles.

Haflinger, Steyr Puch, is not listed in the table of Australian Army vehicles in Vietnam within the M Cecil book ''Mud & Dust'', but a popular misconception may have occurred because of the US [[M274 Mechanical Mule]] which has a similar size and mechanical arrangement and was used to carry munitions and other equipment.
